Rare Case of a Heterozygous Microdeletion 9q21.11-q21.2: Clinical and Genetic Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Intellectual disability is affecting 3.0-4.0% of the general population. Copy number variants (CNVs) are a significant cause leading to neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders and developmental delay. The use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) as diagnostic tools has led to the recognition of new microdeletion/microduplication syndromes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. It is also useful for further characterization of marker chromosomes. Here, we report a girl with mild intellectual disability and mild facial dysmorphisms. Cytogenetic analysis showed a marker chromosome in some percent of the cells and was followed by SNP-array karyotyping that detected, in addition, a 9655 Mb de novo interstitial deletion at 9q21.1-9q21.2.

Genetic and Clinical Characteristics of Patients With Homozygous and Compound Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia From Three Different Populations: Case Series.

Project description:Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and compound heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (cHeFH) are rare disorders generated by disease-causing variants in both alleles of the LDLR or other familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)-related genes. HoFH and cHeFH are characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), frequently leading to early cardiovascular disease. We investigated the genetic and clinical characteristics of HoFH and cHeFH patients from the Slovenian FH registry and/or those who were previously diagnosed or managed at our institution (Slovenian, Pakhtun and Albanian ethnicity), where genetic testing is not available. Our study includes seven patients. Their median age at the time of clinical diagnosis was 6.3 years (2.9-12.9 years); 2/7 were females. Two patients were diagnosed through the universal FH screening and five patients were diagnosed due to the presence of xanthomas. All the mutations are present in LDLR gene: 7 different genotypes for HoFH (p.Cys167Leu, p.Asp178Asn, p.Cys243Tyr, p.Gly549Asp, p.Cys27Trp, p.Ile585Thr and p.Val797Met) and p.Gly549Asp/p.Gln384Pro genotype for cHeFH patient. The median initial level of LDL-C was 17.0 mmol/L [655 mg/dL] (range 7.6-21.6 mmol/L). The HoFH/cHeFH patients are clinically and genetically very diverse. The clinical criteria (as Simon Broome criteria) might be applicable already in children to raise suspicion of FH but in some cases fail to distinguish heterozygous FH and HoFH/cHeFH patients. However, genetic testing is helpful in confirming the diagnosis, also for a prompt awareness, better compliance to treatment and family screening.

A Rare Case of 15q11.2 Microdeletion Syndrome with Atypical Features: Diagnostic Dilemma.

Project description:Burnside Butler syndrome or 15q11.2 microdeletion syndrome is a relatively rare chromosomal abnormality that is recently being recognized. Current diagnostic techniques like chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) have profoundly contributed to currently reported cases. The diagnostic dilemma is that prenatal screening and karyotype analysis typically yield unclear results. We would like to emphasize the importance of taking a detailed family history, knowing the classic clinical features, and using CMA to help diagnose this syndrome. We present an eight-year-old Caucasian female with a past medical history of intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, a high arched palate, speech delay, and a learning disability with recurrent bleeding from the eyes and oral cavity. The bleeding co-occurs whenever she develops the common cold.

Heterozygous rare genetic variants in non-syndromic early-onset obesity.

Project description:BackgroundObesity is a very heterogeneous disorder at both the clinical and molecular levels and with high heritability. Several monogenic forms and genes with strong effects have been identified for non-syndromic severe obesity. Novel therapeutic interventions are in development for some genetic forms, emphasizing the importance of determining genetic contributions.ObjectiveWe aimed to define the contribution of rare single-nucleotide genetic variants (RSVs) in candidate genes to non-syndromic severe early-onset obesity (EOO; body mass index (BMI) >+3 standard deviation score, <3 years).MethodsUsing a pooled DNA-sequencing approach, we screened for RSVs in 15 obesity candidate genes in a series of 463 EOO patients and 480 controls. We also analysed exome data from 293 EOO patients from the "Viva la Familia" (VLF) study as a replication dataset.ResultsLikely or known pathogenic RSVs were identified in 23 patients (5.0%), with 7 of the 15 genes (BDNF, FTO, MC3R, MC4R, NEGR1, PPARG and SIM1) harbouring RSVs only in cases (3.67%) and none in controls. All were heterozygous changes, either de novo (one in BDNF) or inherited from obese parents (seven maternal, three paternal), and no individual carried more than one variant. Results were replicated in the VLF study, where 4.10% of probands carried RSVs in the overrepresented genes. RSVs in five genes were either absent (LEP) or more common in controls than in cases (ADRB3, LEPR, PCSK1 and PCSK2) in both obese datasets.ConclusionsHeterozygous RSVs in several candidate genes of the melanocortin pathway are found in ~5.0% patients with EOO. These results support the clinical utility of genetic testing to identify patients who might benefit from targeted therapeutic intervention.

Clinical and Genetic Heterogeneity of the 15q13.3 Microdeletion Syndrome.

Project description:The 15q13.3 microdeletion is a recurrent CNV, presumably mediated by NAHR between segmental duplications in chromosome 15. The 15q13.3 deletion and duplication are associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations, such as intellectual deficits, seizures, autism, language and developmental delay, neuropsychiatric impairments, and behavioral problems illustrating incomplete penetrance and expressivity. This study comprises an evaluation of 106 symptomatic patients carrying the heterozygous deletion, as well as of 21 patients carrying the duplication, who have been described in previous studies. The analysis shows considerable heterogeneity for the manifestation of different key symptoms and familiar occurrence. Furthermore, 8 new patients are introduced. Convoluted familiar connections give new insights into the complexity of symptomatic manifestation. In previous studies, different opinions have been expressed as to the nature and precise location of the deletion breakpoints. Here, we show that not CHRNA7 and CHRFAM7A, but rather FAM7A or GOLGA8, serve as breakpoint regions concerning our patients. The deletion is described as heterogeneous in size. However, we assume that not only different breakpoints but also the imprecision of aCGH analysis on chromosome 15 due to segmental duplications accounts for the variability in size.

Novel Heterozygous Mutations of Congenital Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a genetic condition caused by mutations in ADAMTS13 gene, leading to very low levels of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I domain 13) activity. It is a rare condition associated with multiple reported mutations. Here, we describe a case of hereditary TTP with a compound novel heterozygous mutation along with secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The patient responded clinically to plasma infusions with resolution of thrombocytopenia, stabilization of renal function, and control of blood pressures. Genetic analysis of the entire family helped in the characterization of the inheritance of this mutation. Our case illustrates the need for focused genetic analysis in a subset of patients presenting with features of TTP to decide the therapeutic plan and manage accordingly.

A New Case of the Rare 10q22.3q23.2 Microdeletion Flanked by Low-Copy Repeats 3/4.

Project description:Deletions in the 10q22.3q23.2 region are rare and mediated by 2 low-copy repeats (LCRs 3 and 4). These deletions have already been recognized as the 10q22q23 deletion syndrome. The phenotype associated with this condition is rather uncharacteristic, and most common features are craniofacial dysmorphisms and developmental delay. We describe a boy with craniofacial dysmorphic features, developmental delay, tetralogy of Fallot, hand/foot abnormalities, and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Chromosomal microarray analysis disclosed a 7.8-Mb microdeletion at 10q22.3q23.2, flanked by LCRs 3/4, and an additional 16q12.1 microdeletion of 189 kb. This article reviews the clinical signs of reported cases with similar deletions and compares them with our patient, contributing to a better understanding of genotype-phenotype correlation.

Clinical, biochemical and genetic characteristics of MOGS-CDG: a rare congenital disorder of glycosylation.

Project description:PurposeTo summarise the clinical, molecular and biochemical phenotype of mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase-related congenital disorders of glycosylation (MOGS-CDG), which presents with variable clinical manifestations, and to analyse which clinical biochemical assay consistently supports diagnosis in individuals with bi-allelic variants in MOGS.MethodsPhenotypic characterisation was performed through an international and multicentre collaboration. Genetic testing was done by exome sequencing and targeted arrays. Biochemical assays on serum and urine were performed to delineate the biochemical signature of MOGS-CDG.ResultsClinical phenotyping revealed heterogeneity in MOGS-CDG, including neurological, immunological and skeletal phenotypes. Bi-allelic variants in MOGS were identified in 12 individuals from 11 families. The severity in each organ system was variable, without definite genotype correlation. Urine oligosaccharide analysis was consistently abnormal for all affected probands, whereas other biochemical analyses such as serum transferrin analysis was not consistently abnormal.ConclusionThe clinical phenotype of MOGS-CDG includes multisystemic involvement with variable severity. Molecular analysis, combined with biochemical testing, is important for diagnosis. In MOGS-CDG, urine oligosaccharide analysis via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry can be used as a reliable biochemical test for screening and confirmation of disease.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Case Report: A Rare Heterozygous <i>ATP8B1</i> Mutation in a BRIC1 Patient: Haploinsufficiency?

Project description:Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent cholestasis. ATPase class I, type 8B, member 1 (ATP8B1) encodes familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (FIC1), which acts as a phosphatidylserine reversing enzyme in the tubule membrane of hepatocytes to mediate the inward translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS). At present, dozens of ATP8B1 pathogenic mutations have been identified that mainly cause BRIC1 and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (PFIC1). The diagnosis of BRIC1 is based on symptoms, laboratory tests, imaging, liver histology, and genetic testing. BRIC1 treatment seeks to prevent recurrence and reduce disease severity. At present, the main treatment methods include ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), rifampin, cholestyramine and haemofiltration, and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD). Here, we report a 17-year-old patient with cholestasis who has a rare heterozygous ATP8B1 gene mutation (p.T888K). The patient was treated with UDCA, glucocorticoids and haemofiltration, after which bilirubin levels gradually returned to normal. This case was thought to be caused by an ATP8B1 heterozygous mutation, which may be related to haploinsufficiency (HI).
