摘要
MURCS (Mullerian duct aplasia, Renal anomalies, and Cervicothoracic Somite dysplasia) association is a group of congenital genito-urinary and skeletal malformations. We report an adolescent girl with the cardinal features of MURCS association, obesity, and clinical findings of hyperandrogenism who did not show any exonic mutation of the WNT4 gene. Our finding excludes WNT4 gene as a candidate for MURCS association and suggests the need for further genetic studies.
