METHODS: Nine patients from a Chinese FGC family with facial deformities and lower limb fractures were included. The clinical manifestations, skeletal radiographic features, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover biomarkers were investigated. Peripheral blood from 9 patients and 14 controls within the family was collected, and WES was performed. By using filtering strategy, the candidate genes were sequenced and further validated by PCR and Sanger sequencing in the unaffected individuals within the family and 384 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: The major manifestations of Chinese FGC patients were representative multiquadrant and expansive deformities involving the mandible and maxilla, especially severe in the anterior mandible with diffuse osteopenia bone loss and several fractures in the lower limbs. Sequencing results showed that there was a missense, heterozygous mutation in ANO5 (c.1538C>T, p.Thr513Ile) in all affected individuals, that affected the folding, structure and function of ANO5. CONCLUSIONS: FGC is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease caused by ANO5 mutations, with severe facial deformity, long bone fractures and low BMD as main characteristics of Chinese' patients. The first and a novel missense mutation of ANO5 was identified, which extended the phenotypic and genetic spectrum of FGC.
