BILU syndrome
Definition:
BILU (B-cell immunodeficiency, distal limb anomalies, and urogenital malformations) syndrome is a novel multiple congenital anomalies syndrome that include both skeletal dysplasia and immune deficiency. It has been reported that autosomal dominant mutations in TOP2B cause BILU syndrome. TOP2B encodes a type II topoisomerase, an essential gene required to alleviate topological stress during DNA replication and gene transcription.
