Case Report: SATB2-Associated Syndrome Overlapping With Clinical Mitochondrial Disease Presentation: Report of Two Cases.

ABSTRACT: SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant neurogenetic multisystemic disorder. We describe two individuals with global developmental delay and hypotonia who underwent an extensive evaluation to rule out an underlying mitochondrial disorder before their eventual diagnosis of SAS. Although the strict application of the clinical mitochondrial disease score only led to the designation of "possible" mitochondrial disorder for these two individuals, other documented abnormalities included nonspecific neuroimaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, decreased complex I activity on muscle biopsy for patient 2, and variation in the size and relative proportion of types of muscle fibers in the muscle biopsies that were aligned with mitochondrial diseases. SAS should be in the differential diagnoses of mitochondrial disorders, and broad-spectrum diagnostic tests such as exome sequencing need to be considered early in the evaluation process of undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders.

Case report: Two unexpected cases of DGUOK-related mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome presenting with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Project description:Timely diagnosis of persistent neonatal hypoglycemia is critical to prevent neurological sequelae, but diagnosis is complicated by the heterogenicity of the causes. We discuss two cases at separate institutions in which clinical management was fundamentally altered by the results of molecular genetic testing. In both patients, critical samples demonstrated hypoketotic hypoglycemia and a partial glycemic response to glucagon stimulation, thereby suggesting hyperinsulinism (HI). However, due to rapid genetic testing, both patients were found to have deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK)-related mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, an unexpected diagnosis. Patients with this disease typically present with either hepatocerebral disease in the neonatal period or isolated hepatic failure in infancy. The characteristic features involved in the hepatocerebral form of the disease include lactic acidosis, hypoglycemia, cholestasis, progressive liver failure, and increasing neurologic dysfunction. Those with isolated liver involvement experience hepatomegaly, cholestasis, and liver failure. Although liver transplantation is considered, research has demonstrated that for patients with DGUOK-related mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome and neurologic symptoms, early demise occurs. Our report advocates for the prompt initiation of genetic testing in patients presenting with persistent neonatal hypoglycemia and for the incorporation of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes in the differential diagnosis of HI.

Case Report: Progressive Cholestasis: Severe Phenotype of MEGDEL Syndrome With SATB2-Associated Syndrome.

Project description:MEGDEL syndrome and SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) are both rare congenital disorders with poor prognoses caused by gene mutations. We present the case of a 2-day-old girl with an unexplained abnormal liver function, feeding problem, and dystonia. Using next-generation sequencing, we identified two novel mutations in SERAC1 and a mutation in SATB2. Now, she is 15 months old and has the characteristics of SAS, such as downslanting palpebral fissures and delayed primary dentition. Besides the typical phenotypes of MEGDEL syndrome, such as hypertonia, failure to thrive, deafness, and motor regression, she has progressive cholestasis and is prone to high serum lactate after rehabilitation training and hypoglycemia with low ketone under starving conditions. These phenotypes substantially differ from the transient liver function abnormalities and hypoglycemia reported in the literature.

Case report: Two cases of Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome and review of literature.

Project description:The Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome (POBINDS) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the CSNK2B gene, which is characterized by intellectual disability and early-onset epilepsy. Mosaicism has not been previously reported in CSNK2B gene. POBINDS is autosomal dominant and almost all reported cases were de novo variants. Here, we report two patients were diagnosed with POBINDS. Using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), we detected two novel CSNK2B variants in the two unrelated individuals: c.634_635del (p.Lys212AspfsTer33) and c.142C > T (p.Gln48Ter) respectively. Both of them showed mild developmental delay with early-onset and clustered seizures. The patient with c.634_635del(p.Lys212AspfsTer33) variant was mutant mosaicism, and the proportion of alleles in peripheral blood DNA was 28%. Further, the literature of patients with a de novo mutation of the CSNK2B gene was reviewed, particularly seizure semiology and genotype-phenotype correlations.

From clinical to molecular diagnosis: relevance of diagnostic strategy in two cases of branchio-oto-renal syndrome - case report.

Project description:BackgroundBranchio-oto-renal syndrome (BOR) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by deafness, branchiogenic malformations and renal abnormalities. Pathogenic variants in EYA1, SIX1 and SIX5 genes cause almost half of cases; copy number variants (CNV) and complex genomic rearrangements have been revealed in about 20% of patients, but they are not routinely and commonly included in the diagnostic work-up.Case presentationWe report two unrelated patients with BOR syndrome clinical features, negative sequencing for BOR genes and the identification of a 2.65 Mb 8q13.2-13.3 microdeletion.ConclusionsWe highlight the value of CNV analyses in high level of suspicion for BOR syndrome but negative sequencing for BOR genes and we propose an innovative diagnostic flow-chart to increase current detection rate. Our report confirms a mechanism of non-allelic homologous recombination as causing this recurrent 8q13.2-13.3 microdeletion. Moreover, considering the role of PRDM14 and NCOA2 genes, both involved in regulation of fertility and deleted in our patients, we suggest the necessity of a longer follow-up to monitor fertility issues or additional clinical findings.

Clinical and molecular differentiation between malignant rhabdoid tumor of normal tissue: A two-case report

Project description:Preoperative B-scan ultrasonography and Computed Tomography (CT) examination in 2 cases suggested that nephroblastoma . Treated with radical nephrectomy after general anesthesia. After operation,MRTK diagnosis by pathological examination. Regular chemotherapy 7 courses(Child 1) and 12 courses(Child 2),followed up for 2 years(Child 1) and 3 years and 1 month(Child 2), without symptoms. RNA-seq results showed 2203 differential genes (DEGs) in the kidney tissue of children with MRTK compared to normal tissue. GO analysis suggested that most DEGs participate in protein binding. KEGG results showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and microRNA-related proteins.

Clinical findings in two cases of atypical scrapie in sheep: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAtypical scrapie is a recently recognised form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of sheep that differs from classical scrapie in its neuropathological and biochemical features. Most cases are detected in apparently healthy sheep and information on the clinical presentation is limited.Case presentationThis report describes the clinical findings in two sheep notified as scrapie suspects and confirmed as atypical scrapie cases by immunohistochemistry and Western immunoblotting. Although both sheep displayed signs suggestive of a cerebellar dysfunction there was considerable variation in the individual clinical signs, which were similar to classical scrapie.ConclusionAny sheep presenting with neurological gait deficits should be assessed more closely for other behavioural, neurological and physical signs associated with scrapie and their presence should lead to the suspicion of scrapie.

Case report: Sacral agenesis in two boxer dogs: clinical presentation, diagnostic investigations, and outcome.

Project description:Two boxer dogs from the same litter were presented at 3 months of age for urinary and fecal incontinence. Both dogs had an abnormal tail consisting of a small stump, an atonic anal sphincter, and absent perineal reflex and sensation. Neurological evaluation was indicative of a lesion of the cauda equina or sacral spinal cord. Radiology and CT scan of the spine displayed similar findings in the two dogs that were indicative of sacral agenesis. Indeed, they had 6 lumbar vertebrae followed by a lumbosacral transitional vertebra, lacking a complete spinous process, and a hypoplastic vertebra carrying 2 hypoplastic sacral transverse processes as the only remnant of the sacral bone. Caudal vertebrae were absent in one of the dogs. On MRI, one dog had a dural sac occupying the entire spinal canal and ending in a subfascial fat structure. In the other dog, the dural sac finished in an extracanalar, subfascial, well-defined cystic structure, communicating with the subarachnoid space, and consistent with a meningocele. Sacral agenesis-that is the partial or complete absence of the sacral bones-is a neural tube defect occasionally reported in humans with spina bifida occulta. Sacral agenesis has been described in human and veterinary medicine in association with conditions such as caudal regression syndrome, perosomus elumbis, and Currarino syndrome. These neural tube defects are caused by genetic and/or environmental factors. Despite thorough genetic investigation, no candidate variants in genes with known functional impact on bone development or sacral development could be found in the affected dogs. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report describing similar sacral agenesis in two related boxer dogs.

Wolfram Syndrome: A case report of two sisters Wolfram Syndrome: Case report of two sisters.

Project description:PurposeTo present a case of two siblings with optic atrophy associated with Wolfram Syndrome.ObservationsTwo young adult siblings presented with serious bilateral loss of vision and dyschromatopsia established in early adolescence. They were referred with a presumed diagnosis of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. At baseline, visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye in patient A and 20/200 in both eyes in patient B, color perception tested with pseudo-isochromatic plates was 0/17 in each eye, optic discs were pale, visual field testing revealed diffuse scotomas bilaterally while electrophysiology showed delayed prominent positive deflection (P100) values in both patients. Personal history revealed Type 1 diabetes mellitus since early childhood. Patients were lost to follow-up and presented 4 years later with significant VA decrease (<20/400) and suspected hearing loss. At that point, genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variation in the WFS1 gene thus confirming the diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome. Treatment with idebenone was proposed, to which only one of the siblings agreed. The other patient remained under observation, as no known treatment for optic atrophy in Wolfram syndrome exists to date.Conclusions and importanceWolfram syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative genetic disease associated with diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness. Careful and detailed medical and family history led to appropriate testing that confirmed the diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome. To this day, there is no definite treatment for this disease, but the experimental use of idebenone has been suggested to improve visual function. Genetic testing of family members and offspring of patients is strongly recommended.

Adult-onset woakes' syndrome: Report of two cases.

Project description:IntroductionWoakes' syndrome is a rare condition commonly defined as recurrent sinonasal polyposis with consecutive destruction of the nasal pyramid. Till now, only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to present the features of woakes' syndrome through two new clinical cases, adding some valuable insight to the recently reported cases.Case reportWe report a series of two consecutive adults male and female patients, aged 55 and 58 years, with Samter's triad, who presented recurrent nasal polyposis and progressive broadening of the nasal dorsum. Facial CT showed in both patients the same radiologic pattern of nasal and paranasal cavities obliteration with nasal bone deformation. Both patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery and correction of the bony nasal vault deformity without osteotomies. At 3 months follow-up, the nasal air passage remained free and aesthetic outcomes were observed.Discussionhaving been described over 130 years ago, the etiology of woakes' syndrome remains unclear. Treatment includes topical treatment and sinonasal surgery. Surgical treatment of the nasal dorsum deformity is rarely addressed.ConclusionThese observations suggest that the external nose deformity may be successfully corrected by digital compression, in combination with endoscopic sinus surgery.

Case report: Expansion of phenotypic and genotypic data in <i>TENM3</i>-related syndrome: Report of two cases.

Project description:Biallelic TENM3 variants were recently reported to cause non-syndromic microphthalmia with coloboma-9 (MCOPCB9) and microphthalmia and/or coloboma with developmental delay (MCOPS15). To date, only eight syndromic and non-syndromic microphthalmia cases with recessive TENM3 variants have been reported. Herein, we report two unrelated new cases with biallelic variants in TENM3, widening the molecular and clinical spectrum. Regarding patient 1, WES revealed compound heterozygous variants in the TENM3 gene: c.3847_3855del; p.Leu1283_Ser1285del and c.3698_3699insA; p.Thr1233Thrfs*20 in the index patient, who was presenting with bilateral microphthalmia, congenital cataract, microcephaly, and global developmental delay. Regarding patient 2, compound missense heterozygous variants in the TENM3 gene were identified: c.941C > T; p.Ala314Val and c.6464T > C; p.Leu2155Pro in the 3-year-old boy, who presented with congenital esotropia, speech delay, and motor developmental delay. The clinical features of these two cases revealed high concordance with the previously reported cases, including microphthalmia and developmental delay. The presence of microcephaly in our patient potentially expands the neurologic phenotype associated with loss of function variants in TENM3, as microcephaly has not previously been described. Furthermore, we present evidence that missense variants in TENM3 are associated with similar, but milder, ocular features.
