case_images: Parents were nonconsanguineous, and the father had a repaired median cleft lip, absence of central incisors, facial medial hypoplasia, and cleft palate (Figure 1).
case_images: Nonsense heterozygous mutation at codon 127 of the SHH gene (W127X). This mutation causes a G for A transition at cDNA nucleotide 384 causing a substitution of tryptophan (TGG) for a stop codon (TGA) in exon 2 (c.384G A).
