3-M syndrome, a primordial growth disorder, is associated with mutations in CUL7 and
OBSL1. Exome sequencing now identifies mutations in CCDC8 as a cause of 3-M
syndrome. CCDC8 is a widely expressed gene that is transcriptionally associated to CUL7
and OBSL1, and coimmunoprecipitation indicates a physical interaction between CCDC8
and OBSL1 but not CUL7. We propose that CUL7, OBSL1, and CCDC8 are members of a
pathway controlling mammalian growth.
