Split hand-split food malformation (SHFM) is a congenital defect of limb development that involves the central rays of the autopod and presents with median clefts of the hands and feet. It often includes syndactyly and aplasia/hypoplasia of the phalanges. SHFM is a genetic condition with high genetic heterogeneity, with at least 6 associated chromosomal loci. A locus in chromosomal region 7q21.3, associated with SHFM is referred to as SHFM1. Genes considered to be associated with SHFM1 are DLX5 and DLX6. These two genes participate in the Wnt pathway that has a role in limb development. The gene DYNC1I1, located proximally (centromeric) to the SHFM1 locus was recently reported to include enhancer sequences involved in limb development in its exons 15 and 17. These sequences were shown to cis-regulate the function of the adjacent SHFM associated genes. We report a family, in which the father and three of his sons carry an approximately 1 Mb deletion in this chromosomal region, arr[hg19]7q21.3(94,769,383-95,801,045)x1. The deleted region is located proximally (centromerically) adjacent to the SHFM region at 7q21.3. It does not include the SHFM candidate genes DLX5 and DLX6, but includes the enhancer sequences within DYNC111 and six other genes centromeric to DYNC1I1. All deletion carriers have various degrees of intellectual disability while two of them have SHFM. This family is the eighth reported family where a chromosome 7q21.3 deletion co-segregating with SHFM involves the enhancer regions within gene DYNC111, but does not involve the genes DLX5 and DLX 6. This is also the third family where decreased penetrance of enhancer-associated SHFM is demonstrated. Intellectual disability was not observed in the previously reported families and may be associated with deficiency of one or more of the 6 genes included in the reported deletion centromeric to DYNC1I1.
