Summary Introduction

Case summary:

A patient, age 2 years reported with frame-shift mutation in the Iκκ-γ gene or NEMO, encoded on X-chromosome. The patient suffers from NEMO deficiency syndrome.

Characters in the case:

Jaxon Markowski, the patient under evaluation. Mother who is a heterozygous carrier. Sister, healthy 7 year old girl.

Adequate information:

The patient was underweight since birth, runs higher temperature than normal without any sweating. He also has diffused alopecia, frontal bossing, cone shaped teeth and periorbital darkening and wrinkling. He has lower than normal IgG and IgA but normal IgM along with low NK cell numbers. His skin shows granulomatous inflammation with Mycobacterium avium infection for which he was treated with IVIG and antibiotics.

To Determine:

The consequence of the given mutation in Iκκ-γ gene.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
