Given the phenotypic overlap of individuals with CFZS, MBS, and NAM, we screened STAC3 in 12 individuals diagnosed with CFZS and in 50 individuals diagnosed with MBS or a congenital facial weakness disorder.
To describe the phenotypic characteristics and clinical course of a sporadic case of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) and Möbius syndrome with a de novo mutation in the KIF21A gene encoding a kinesin motor protein.
The other is transcribed processed pseudogene TPPsig-BASP1, which is located on chromosome 13q flanking the putative locus for Möbius syndrome and might be involved in the regulation of the transcripts encoded by BASP1.
Molecular genetic screening of MBS1 locus on chromosome 13 for microdeletions and exclusion of FGF9, GSH1 and CDX2 as causative genes in patients with Moebius syndrome.
Human SOX14 is localised to a 1.15-Mb yeast artificial chromosome on chromosome 3q23, close to loci for BPES (blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome) and Mobius syndrome.
Three congenital disorders have been localised to this region: blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type IIB (CMT2B) and Mobius syndrome type 2 (MBS2).

A large Sardinian family including 13 Martin-Bell syndrome (MBS) patients, several instances of normal transmitting males or females, and the G6PD-Mediterranean mutant segregating in some of its branches, has been thoroughly investigated with the hope of gaining further insight on the nature of the FRAX-mutation.
The overall evaluation of the in situ and genetic data reported suggest that the CDR locus 1) is located at the upper boundary of the FRAXA site; 2) is distal to DXS51 and proximal to DXS 389; and 3) segregates in a close linkage association with the loci DXS98 and DXS105 and, to a lesser extent, with the locus for MBS.

By contrast, no significant differences were found in the recombination between 52A and factor IX in the two groups of MBS families or in these families versus those with Hunter syndrome examined in our laboratory.
