Added comment: ESHG 2026

Barnes syndrome (thoraco-laryngo-pelvic dysplasia/TLPD) is a very rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, clinically characterised by thoracic dystrophy, narrow pelvis and laryngeal stenosis.

They report 3 unrelated individuals with TLPD with neonatal hypotonia, thoracic dystrophy with short ribs, subglottic stenosis/tracheal hypoplasia requiring tracheostomy, and narrow pelvis with delayed ossification of pubic rami. Trio WGS identified 2 different rare heterozygous de novo variants (1 x p.Phe29Leu and 2 x p.Lys170del) in TK1 gene.

TK1 gene codes for cytosolic thymidine kinase, which phosphorylates thymidine and plays role in DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Functional studies in lymphoblastoid cell lines suggest a significant reduction of TK1 activity. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of TK1 in bone morphogenesis.
