A New 3p14.2 Microdeletion in a Patient with Intellectual Disability and Language Impairment: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Interstitial deletions of chromosome 3p are rare, and specific genotype-phenotype correlations cannot always be assessed. We report the case of a 3p14.2 proximal microdeletion in a 60-year-old female patient with mild intellectual disability, severe speech delay, and mild dysmorphism. An array-CGH analysis detected a 500-kb deletion in the 3p14.2 region, including FEZF2, CADPS, and PTPRG. FEZF2 and CADPS are known to network within the neurodevelopmental pathways. It is possible that their rearrangements lead to the phenotypic features observed in the patient, and therefore, they can be considered candidate genes responsible for such abnormalities.

Deficiency for the ubiquitin ligase UBE3B in a blepharophimosis-ptosis-intellectual-disability syndrome.

Project description:Ubiquitination plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment as exemplified by Angelman syndrome, which is caused by genetic alterations of the ubiquitin ligase-encoding UBE3A gene. Although the function of UBE3A has been widely studied, little is known about its paralog UBE3B. By using exome and capillary sequencing, we here identify biallelic UBE3B mutations in four patients from three unrelated families presenting an autosomal-recessive blepharophimosis-ptosis-intellectual-disability syndrome characterized by developmental delay, growth retardation with a small head circumference, facial dysmorphisms, and low cholesterol levels. UBE3B encodes an uncharacterized E3 ubiquitin ligase. The identified UBE3B variants include one frameshift and two splice-site mutations as well as a missense substitution affecting the highly conserved HECT domain. Disruption of mouse Ube3b leads to reduced viability and recapitulates key aspects of the human disorder, such as reduced weight and brain size and a downregulation of cholesterol synthesis. We establish that the probable Caenorhabditis elegans ortholog of UBE3B, oxi-1, functions in the ubiquitin/proteasome system in vivo and is especially required under oxidative stress conditions. Our data reveal the pleiotropic effects of UBE3B deficiency and reinforce the physiological importance of ubiquitination in neuronal development and function in mammals.

GATAD2B Gene Microdeletion Causing Intellectual Disability Autosomal Dominant Type 18: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Pathogenic variants of the GATAD2B gene (1q21.3) are linked to intellectual disability autosomal dominant type 18 (MRD18; MIM 615074), characterized by dysmorphic features, psychomotor and language delay. We present an 11-year-old female patient with intellectual disability and typical clinical characteristics of MRD18. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) revealed a novel CNV, approximately 200 kb in size and showed that the INTS3 and SLC27A3 genes are completely deleted along with the first 10 exons of the GATAD2B gene. INTS3 encodes the integrator complex subunit 3 and is part of the complex that maintains genome stability; SLC27A3 encodes a fatty acid transporter and has been associated with autism spectrum disorder. GATAD2B haploinsufficiency is associated with the phenotype. Furthermore, the girl had other clinical characteristics not previously described, such as emotional instability, calf hypotrophy, hypoplastic digit pads, tapered thumbs, and anterior earlobe crease. This study highlights the importance of the phenotype-genotype correlation using molecular diagnostic techniques, such as CMA, and its impact on precise diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and genetic counseling for patients and their families.

A 1.6-Mb microdeletion in chromosome 17q22 leads to NOG-related symphalangism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability.

Project description:Microdeletions in chromosome 17q22, where the NOG gene resides, have been reported leading to the NOG-related symphalangism spectrum disorder (NOG-SSD), intellectual disability and other developmental abnormalities. In this study we reported a dominant Chinese Han family segregating with typical NOG-SSD symptoms including proximal symphalangism, conductive hearing loss, amblyopia and strabismus, but not intellectual disability. Sanger sequencing identified no pathogenic mutation in the coding regions of candidate genes NOG, GDF5 and FGF9. SNP genotyping in the genomic region surrounding NOG identified loss of heterozygosity in the affected family members. By array comparative genomic hybridization and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we identified and mapped the breakpoints of a novel 1.6-Mb microdeletion in chromosome 17q22 that included NOG and twelve other genes. It is the first microdeletion reported in chromosome 17q22 that is associated with NOG-SSD only but not with intellectual disability. Our results may help identifying the dosage sensitive genes for intellectual disability and other developmental abnormalities in chromosome 17q22. Our study also suggested that genomic deletions in chromosome 17q22 should be screened in the NOG-SSD patients in which no pathogenic mutation is identified by conventional sequencing methods.

Absence seizures with intellectual disability as a phenotype of the 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome.

Project description:15q13.3 microdeletions are the most common genetic findings identified in idiopathic generalized epilepsies to date, and they are present in up to 1% of patients. In addition, 15q13.3 microdeletions have been described in patients with epilepsy as part of a complex neurodevelopmental phenotype. We analyzed a cohort of 570 patients with various pediatric epilepsies for 15q13.3 microdeletions. Screening was performed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction; deletions were confirmed by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). We carried out detailed phenotyping of deletion carriers. In total, we identified four pediatric patients with 15q13.3 microdeletions, including one previously described patient. Two of four deletions were de novo, one deletion was inherited from an unaffected parent, and for one patient the inheritance is unknown. All four patients had absence epilepsy with various degrees of intellectual disability. We suggest that absence epilepsy accompanied by intellectual disability may represent a common phenotype of the 15q13.3 microdeletion in pediatric patients with epilepsy.

De novo 11q13.3q13.4 deletion in a patient with Fanconi renotubular syndrome and intellectual disability: Case report and review of literature.

Project description:ObjectiveTo explore the genetic etiology of a child with facial dysmorphia, developmental delay, intellectual disability, Fanconi renotubular syndrome, and Chiari malformations.Materials and methodsWhole exome sequencing (WES), Copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), and mitochondrial gene detection (Long-PCR + NGS) were applied to detect possible pathogenic mutations and chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs), together with databases and literature reviews to clarify the pathological significance of the candidate mutations.ResultsThe WES revealed a 2.10 Mb interstitial deletion from 11q13.3 to 11q13.4, which was later confirmed by CNV-seq involving 11 OMIM genes, among which SHANK2, DHCR7, NADSYN1, FADD, NUMA1, IL18BP, ANO1, and FGF3 are disease-causing. The mitochondrial gene shows no variations.ConclusionThe child has carried a de novo 11q13.3q13.4 microdeletion, in which SHANK2 genes may be the key gene responsible for the phenotype of intellectual disability. The renal manifestation of the child, which can be diagnosed as Fanconi renotubular syndrome, has an unknown cause but may result from the effect of the ANO1 gene. This case adds a new phenotype to the deletion of this region.

Characterization of a 8q21.11 microdeletion syndrome associated with intellectual disability and a recognizable phenotype.

Project description:We report eight unrelated individuals with intellectual disability and overlapping submicroscopic deletions of 8q21.11 (0.66-13.55 Mb in size). The deletion was familial in one and simplex in seven individuals. The phenotype was remarkably similar and consisted of a round face with full cheeks, a high forehead, ptosis, cornea opacities, an underdeveloped alae, a short philtrum, a cupid's bow of the upper lip, down-turned corners of the mouth, micrognathia, low-set and prominent ears, and mild finger and toe anomalies (camptodactyly, syndactyly, and broadening of the first rays). Intellectual disability, hypotonia, decreased balance, sensorineural hearing loss, and unusual behavior were frequently observed. A high-resolution oligonucleotide array showed different proximal and distal breakpoints in all of the individuals. Sequencing studies in three of the individuals revealed that proximal and distal breakpoints were located in unique sequences with no apparent homology. The smallest region of overlap was a 539.7 kb interval encompassing three genes: a Zinc Finger Homeobox 4 (ZFHX4), one microRNA of unknown function, and one nonfunctional pseudogen. ZFHX4 encodes a transcription factor expressed in the adult human brain, skeletal muscle, and liver. It has been suggested as a candidate gene for congenital bilateral isolated ptosis. Our results suggest that the 8q21.11 submicroscopic deletion represents a clinically recognizable entity and that a haploinsufficient gene or genes within the minimal deletion region could underlie this syndrome.

19p13.2 Microdeletion including NFIX associated with overgrowth and intellectual disability suggestive of Malan syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundOvergrowth syndromes represent clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions characterized by a wide spectrum of malformations, tall stature, intellectual disability and/or macrocephaly.ResultsIn a cohort of four clinically characterized patients with overgrowth syndrome without known causative gene mutation, we performed an Illumina SNP-array analysis to identify the pathogenic copy number variations. We identified two rare copy number variations harboring overgrowth syndrome related genes. Patient 1 was Malan syndrome with a 1.4 Mb 19p13.2-13.13 microdeletion including NFIX, and Patient 2 was identified as Sotos syndrome with a 1.6 Mb 5q35.2 microdeletion encompassing NSD1.ConclusionsWe identified two patients associated with Manlan syndrome and Sotos syndrome respectively. We also discuss the use of the microarrays-based candidate gene strategy in Mendelian disease-gene identification.

De Novo 3q22.3q24 Microdeletion in a Patient With Blepharophimosis-Ptosis-Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy-Walker Malformation, and Wisconsin Syndrome.

Project description:Interstitial deletions affecting the long arm of chromosome 3 have been associated with a broad phenotype. This has included the features of blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome, Dandy-Walker malformation, and the rare Wisconsin syndrome. The authors report a young female patient presenting with features consistent with all 3 of these syndromes. This has occurred in the context of a de novo 3q22.3q24 microdeletion including FOXL2, ZIC1, and ZIC4. This patient provides further evidence for the role of ZIC1 and ZIC4 in Dandy-Walker malformation and is the third reported case of Dandy-Walker malformation to have associated corpus callosum thinning. This patient is also only the seventh to be reported with the rare Wisconsin syndrome phenotype.

KIF11 microdeletion is associated with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy and intellectual disability.

Project description:KIF11 mutations are known to cause autosomal dominant microcephaly-lymphedema-chorioretinopathy dysplasia syndrome, associated or not with intellectual disability. We report a father and two children presenting microcephaly, chorioretinopathy and mild intellectual disability associated with a 209-kb microdeletion at 10q23.33. This microdeletion encompasses the entire KIF11 gene. In addition to point mutations, KIF11 haploinsufficiency due to a deletion is causally associated with autosomal dominant microcephaly, chorioretinopathy and mild intellectual disability.
