A Case of Mild Trichohepatoenteric Syndrome With New Variant Mutation in SKIV2L Gene: Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by severe early onset diarrhea, woolly and brittle hair, immunodeficiency, and liver disease. A mutation in either SKIV2L or TTC37 genes can cause the disease. We report a case of a 41-month-old girl who suffered from intractable watery diarrhea, hair abnormality, dysmorphic features, and poor weight gain. The diagnosis was made through whole-exome sequencing analysis. The analysis detected a new variant mutation (c.1201G > A) p. (Glu401Lys) in the SKIV2L gene. She was admitted once for poor weight gain and nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding, with which the patient showed improvement. She was discharged to go home on hypoallergenic baby formulas and a regular diet with improved weight gain.

A New Variant Mutation in SKIV2L Gene in Case of Trichohepatoenteric Syndrome.

Project description:Trichohepatoenteric syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disease with an estimated prevalence of 1:100,000. The mutation of the disease is placed either in SKIV2L or TTC37 genes. The onset of presentation is variable, but symptoms usually start with intractable diarrhea associated with woolly hair abnormality, immune dysfunction, and sometimes hepatic abnormality. This case is of a 10-month-old girl who was born at 37 + 2 weeks due to symmetrical intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), with a low birth weight (1320 g). It was noticed during her stay in NICU that she had excessive diarrhea on day 8. Gastroenterology suggested starting an extensively-hydrolyzed formula, but no improvement noticed. The multidisciplinary teams decided to order whole-exome sequencing analysis after excluding diarrhea causes. The analysis detected a new variant mutation (c.1297C > T) p. (Arg433Cys). To our knowledge, this is the first time detected in a homozygous state in the SKIV2L gene, as this variant mutation has not been described in any previous literature. Our case was managed mainly by total parenteral nutrition. The patient responded to the treatment appropriately.

Case Report: Novel Compound-Heterozygous Variants of SKIV2L Gene that Cause Trichohepatoenteric Syndrome 2.

Project description:Background: Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is a rare disease that mainly causes intractable diarrhea. It is classified into THES1 and THES2, which are associated with the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 (TTC37) gene and Ski2-like RNA helicase (SKIV2L) gene, respectively. THES is not very prevalent in China or worldwide, but new cases have increasingly been reported. Methods and Results: Here, we report the clinical and genetic information of a 1.5-month-old girl who was admitted to our hospital due to diarrhea and failure to thrive. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed novel compound-heterozygous variants of the SKIV2L gene, c.3602_3609delAGCGCCTG (p.Q1201Rfs*2), and c.1990A > G (p.T664A) as the causative factors, which were confirmed via Sanger sequencing. Upon continuous feeding with an amino-acid formula through a gastric tube and parenteral nutrition, the patient resumed thriving and her stool frequency decreased. Conclusion: We report a girl carrying novel variants of the SKIV2L gene that cause THES2, thereby providing valuable information on the diagnosis of THES2 and expanding the spectrum of disease-causing SKIV2L mutations.

SKIV2L mutations cause syndromic diarrhea, or trichohepatoenteric syndrome.

Project description:Syndromic diarrhea (or trichohepatoenteric syndrome) is a rare congenital bowel disorder characterized by intractable diarrhea and woolly hair, and it has recently been associated with mutations in TTC37. Although databases report TTC37 as being the human ortholog of Ski3p, one of the yeast Ski-complex cofactors, this lead was not investigated in initial studies. The Ski complex is a multiprotein complex required for exosome-mediated RNA surveillance, including the regulation of normal mRNA and the decay of nonfunctional mRNA. Considering the fact that TTC37 is homologous to Ski3p, we explored a gene encoding another Ski-complex cofactor, SKIV2L, in six individuals presenting with typical syndromic diarrhea without variation in TTC37. We identified mutations in all six individuals. Our results show that mutations in genes encoding cofactors of the human Ski complex cause syndromic diarrhea, establishing a link between defects of the human exosome complex and a Mendelian disease.

Case Report: A Novel Homozygous Frameshift Mutation of the SKIV2L Gene in a Trichohepatoenteric Syndrome Patient Presenting With Short Stature, Premature Ovarian Failure, and Osteoporosis.

Project description:Background: Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is a rare Mendelian autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by intractable diarrhea, woolly hair, facial abnormality, immune dysfunction, and intrauterine growth restriction. THES mutations are found in the TTC37 and SKIV2L genes, which encode two components of the human superkiller (SKI) complex. Methods and results: We report one case of a 32-year-old woman of Chinese descent with THES, who was born with a low weight (2000 g). She had intractable diarrhea during the neonatal period and was allergic to cow's milk and condensed milk, but did not require total parenteral nutrition. She experienced menarche at age 12 and amenorrhea at age 28. In May 2019, the patient presented with a left fibular head fracture and was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Genetic testing showed a novel mutation in exon1 [p.E5Afs∗37 (c.12_13del)] of SKIV2L, which is composed of 28 exons. After the diagnosis, hormone replacement therapy was prescribed, in addition to the routine calcium and vitamin D supplements. Conclusion: This case expands the clinical characteristic and phenotype spectrum of THES, providing further understanding of SKIV2L and its autoimmune influence.

New ANTXR1 Gene Mutation for GAPO Syndrome: A Case Report.

Project description:GAPO syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia and progressive optic atrophy (GAPO). To date, only 30 cases have been described worldwide. Recently, gene alterations in the ANTXR1 gene have been reported to be causative of this disorder, and an autosomal recessive pattern has been observed. This gene encodes a matrix-interacting protein that works as an adhesion molecule. In this report, we describe 2 homozygous siblings diagnosed with GAPO syndrome carrying a new missense mutation. This mutation produces the substitution of a glutamine in position 137 for a leucine (c.410A>T, p.Q137L).

Infant Alstrom syndrome diagnosed by a new gene mutation: a case report.

Project description:Alstrom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from an ALMS1 gene mutation. Here, we present the clinical data of a case of an infant diagnosed with Alstrom syndrome through whole-exome sequencing. A 2-month-old male infant was admitted to Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital on 30 May 2019 after "coughing for half a day and dyspnea for 2 hours". He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, acute congestive heart failure, Grade III cardiac function, acute respiratory failure, and myocarditis. After treatment, he was discharged with a prescription for oral medication. After a 4-month follow-up, the patient's left ventricle exhibited spherical enlargement and a decrease in left ventricular function. The infant's whole-exome sequencing results revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the ALMS1 gene: c.2179dup (p. Y727Lfs*12), a frameshift mutation, that was heterozygous and originated from the mother, while c.11140C>T (p. Q3714*) was a heterozygous nonsense mutation that originated from the father. Both mutations are classified as "category 1-pathogenic mutations" according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) assessment. A novel ALMS1 mutation was identified in this case report, highlighting the importance of genetic testing for the early diagnosis of Alstrom syndrome.

O'Donnel-Luria-Rodan Syndrome: New gene variant identified in Romania (A case report).

Project description:O'Donnel-Luria-Rodan (ODLURO) syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. It appears more frequently in males during the first decade of life and is associated with developmental delay, low intelligence quotient, autism spectrum disorder-like behavior, epilepsy, speech delay, aggression, facial and skeletal deformities, gastrointestinal symptoms and hypotonia. Although few cases have been documented, it appears that the phenotype spectrum may vary, especially between the two biological sexes. The present study reported a case of a 5-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with ODLURO at the age of 4 years using whole-exome sequencing. Molecular analysis identified a new mutation in the lysine methyltransferase 2E (inactive) (KMT2E) gene, which was classified as a variant with unknown significance. The father, who presented with non-specific and undiagnosed psychiatric manifestations, presented the same KMT2E variant. The case described in the present study is not only interesting because there are <40 cases described in the literature, but also because a new inherited mutation in the KMT2E gene, present in both father and son, that resulted in different phenotypic manifestations was identified.

Trichohepatoenteric syndrome: founder mutation in asian indians.

Project description:Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is characterized by chronic diarrhea, dysmorphic facies and hair abnormalities. Hepatic involvement varies from no abnormality to cirrhosis and hemochromatosis. Recently, mutations in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 (TTC37) gene were identified to cause THES. The c.2808G>A variation was suggested as a possible founder mutation among the South Asians. We further report 2 unrelated cases of Asian-Indian ethnicity (Gujrati) with THES, wherein targeted mutation analysis revealed the same mutation in homozygous form in both cases. These findings, as well as haplotype analysis, corroborate the founder mutation hypothesis amongst Asian Indo-Pakistani ethnic groups. A restriction enzyme-based method is also described to identify this founder mutation. One of our probands had multiple hepatic hemangiomas, a feature not previously observed in this syndrome.

Homozygous Mutation in the Insulin Receptor Gene Associated with Mild Type A Insulin Resistance Syndrome: A Case Report

Project description:Insulin receptor (INSR) mutations lead to heterogeneous disorders that may be as severe as Donohue syndrome or as mild as “type A insulin resistance syndrome”. Patients with severe disorders usually harbor homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations. In contrast, type A insulin resistance syndrome has been associated with heterozygous mutations; homozygous mutations are rarely responsible for this condition. We report a novel, homozygous mutation, p.Leu260Arg in exon 3, of the INSR gene in a female adolescent patient with type A insulin resistance syndrome together with clinical details of her medical follow-up. Different mutations in the INSR gene cause different phenotype and vary depending on the inheritance pattern. This report adds to the literature, increases understanding of the disease mechanism and aids in genetic counseling.
