Discovery of a neuromuscular syndrome caused by biallelic variants in ASCC3.

ABSTRACT: Activating Signal Cointegrator 1 Complex, Subunit 3 (ASCC3) is part of the four-part ASC-1 transcriptional cointegrator complex. This complex includes ASCC1 (associated with spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2), TRIP4 (associated with spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 1), and ASCC2 (not yet associated with human disease.) ASCC3 encodes a DNA helicase responsible for generating single-stranded DNA as part of the DNA damage response. Interestingly, ASCC3 expresses coding and non-coding isoforms, which act in opposition to balance the recovery of gene transcription after UV-induced DNA damage. Here we report the discovery of ASCC3 as the cause of a neuromuscular syndrome in seven unreported individuals from six unrelated families and updates on the one previously reported family. All the individuals share a neurologic phenotype that ranges from severe developmental delay to muscle fatigue. There appears to be genotype-phenotype correlation, as the most mildly affected individual is homozygous for a rare missense variant, while the more severely affected individuals are compound heterozygotes for a missense and a presumed loss-of-function (LOF) variant. There are no individuals with biallelic presumed LOF variants in our cohort or in gnomAD, as this genotype may not be compatible with life. In summary we report a syndrome in these eleven individuals from seven families with biallelic variants in ASCC3.

Second case of Bardet-Biedl syndrome caused by biallelic variants in IFT74.

Project description:Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the cilia, often resulting in a phenotype of obesity, rod-cone dystrophy, a variable degree of intellectual disability, polydactyly, renal problems, and/or hypogonadism in males or genital abnormalities in females. We here report the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with postaxial polydactyly, retinal dystrophy, and childhood obesity, suggesting Bardet-Biedl syndrome. She had no renal problems, developmental delay, or intellectual disability. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous variants in the IFT74 gene (c.371_372del p.Gln124Argfs*9 and c.16850-1G>T p.?). We here report the second patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome due to biallelic IFT74 variants. Both patients have obesity, polydactyly, retinal dystrophy, and no renal abnormalities. The present case however, has normal intellect, whereas the other patient has intellectual disability. We hereby confirm IFT74 as a BBS gene and encourage diagnostic genetic testing laboratories to add IFT74 to their BBS gene panels.

Case Report: Second Report of Joubert Syndrome Caused by Biallelic Variants in IFT74.

Project description:Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is a rare ciliopathy characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and distinctive cerebellar and brain stem malformation called the molar tooth sign (MTS). We reported a 15-month-old female with dysmorphic features (flat nasal bridge, almond-shaped eye, and a minor midline notch in the upper lips), hypotonia, polydactyly, development delay, and MTS. Whole exome sequencing revealed biallelic heterozygous mutations c.535C>G(p.Q179E/c.853G>T) (p.E285*) in IFT74, which were inherited from the parents. So far, only one article reported JBTS associated with IFT74 gene mutation, and this is the second report of the fifth patient with JBTS due to variants in IFT74. All five patients had developmental delay, postaxial polydactyly, subtle cleft of the upper lip, hypotonia, and MTS, but notably without renal and retinal anomalies or significant obesity, and they shared the same mutation c.535C>G(p.Q179E) in IFT74, and c.853G>T(p.E285*) that we found was a new mutation in IFT74 that related with Joubert syndrome. Those findings highlight the need for the inclusion of IFT74 in gene panels for JBST testing.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Caused by Biallelic TNXB Variants in Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Project description:Some variants that cause autosomal-recessive congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) also cause hypermobility type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) due to the monoallelic presence of a chimera disrupting two flanking genes: CYP21A2, encoding 21-hydroxylase, necessary for cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis, and TNXB, encoding tenascin-X, an extracellular matrix protein. Two types of CAH tenascin-X (CAH-X) chimeras have been described with a total deletion of CYP21A2 and characteristic TNXB variants. CAH-X CH-1 has a TNXB exon 35 120-bp deletion resulting in haploinsufficiency, and CAH-X CH-2 has a TNXB exon 40 c.12174C>G (p.Cys4058Trp) variant resulting in a dominant-negative effect. We present here three patients with biallelic CAH-X and identify a novel dominant-negative chimera termed CAH-X CH-3. Compared with monoallelic CAH-X, biallelic CAH-X results in a more severe phenotype with skin features characteristic of classical EDS. We present evidence for disrupted tenascin-X function and computational data linking the type of TNXB variant to disease severity.

Biallelic RNU12 noncoding variants cause CDAGS syndrome

Project description:CDAGS Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by Craniosynostosis, Delayed closure of the fontanelles, cranial defects, clavicular hypoplasia, Anal and Genitourinary malformations, and Skin manifestations. We performed exome sequencing to identify the underlying molecular cause in five patients with CDAGS syndrome from four distinct families. Whole exome sequencing revealed rare variants that disrupt highly conserved nucleotides within the RNU12 gene. RNU12 encodes a small nuclear RNA that is a component of the minor spliceosome and is essential for minor intron splicing. Targeted sequencing confirmed allele segregation within the four families. All five patients in this cohort have a rare variant on one allele that either disrupts the secondary structure or the Sm binding site of the RNU12 snRNA. The variant on the other allele, shared among all five cases, alters a highly conserved nucleotide within the precursor U12 snRNA 3’ extension that is absent in 1440 unrelated healthy controls. All of the variants are either rare or absent from all searched public databases. Whole transcriptome sequencing analysis identified gene dysregulation and specific defects in intron retention in a subset of minor intron splicing. These findings provide evidence of the involvement of RNU12 in craniosynostosis, anal and genitourinary patterning and cutaneous disease.

Yunis-Varon syndrome caused by biallelic VAC14 mutations.

Project description:Yunis-Varón syndrome (YVS) is an autosomal recessive disorder comprising skeletal anomalies, dysmorphism, global developmental delay and intracytoplasmic vacuolation in brain and other tissues. All hitherto-reported pathogenic variants affect FIG4, a lipid phosphatase involved in phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2] metabolism. FIG4 interacts with PIKfyve, a lipid kinase, via the adapter protein VAC14; all subunits of the resulting complex are essential for PtdIns(3,5)P2 synthesis in the endolysosomal membrane compartment. Here, we present the case of a female neonate with clinical features of YVS and normal FIG4 sequencing; exome sequencing identified biallelic rare coding variants in VAC14. Cultured patient fibroblasts exhibited a YVS-like vacuolation phenotype ameliorated in a dose-dependent fashion by ML-SA1, a pharmacological activator of the lysosomal PtdIns(3,5)P2 effector TRPML1. The patient developed a diffuse leukoencephalopathy with loss of the normal N-acetylaspartate spectrographic peak and presence of a large abnormal peak consistent with myoinositol. We report that VAC14 is a second gene for Yunis-Varón syndrome.

Autosomal recessive Noonan syndrome associated with biallelic LZTR1 variants.

Project description:PURPOSE:To characterize the molecular genetics of autosomal recessive Noonan syndrome. METHODS:Families underwent phenotyping for features of Noonan syndrome in children and their parents. Two multiplex families underwent linkage analysis. Exome, genome, or multigene panel sequencing was used to identify variants. The molecular consequences of observed splice variants were evaluated by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:Twelve families with a total of 23 affected children with features of Noonan syndrome were evaluated. The phenotypic range included mildly affected patients, but it was lethal in some, with cardiac disease and leukemia. All of the parents were unaffected. Linkage analysis using a recessive model supported a candidate region in chromosome 22q11, which includes LZTR1, previously shown to harbor mutations in patients with Noonan syndrome inherited in a dominant pattern. Sequencing analyses of 21 live-born patients and a stillbirth identified biallelic pathogenic variants in LZTR1, including putative loss-of-function, missense, and canonical and noncanonical splicing variants in the affected children, with heterozygous, clinically unaffected parents and heterozygous or normal genotypes in unaffected siblings. CONCLUSION:These clinical and genetic data confirm the existence of a form of Noonan syndrome that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and identify biallelic mutations in LZTR1.

Clinical spectrum of POLR3-related leukodystrophy caused by biallelic POLR1C pathogenic variants.

Project description:Objective:To determine the clinical, radiologic, and molecular characteristics of RNA polymerase III-related leukodystrophy (POLR3-HLD) caused by biallelic POLR1C pathogenic variants. Methods:A cross-sectional observational study involving 25 centers worldwide was conducted. Clinical and molecular information was collected on 23 unreported and previously reported patients with POLR3-HLD and biallelic pathogenic variants in POLR1C. Brain MRI studies were reviewed. Results:Fourteen female and 9 male patients aged 7 days to 23 years were included in the study. Most participants presented early in life (birth to 6 years), and motor deterioration was seen during childhood. A notable proportion of patients required a wheelchair before adolescence, suggesting a more severe phenotype than previously described in POLR3-HLD. Dental, ocular, and endocrine features were not invariably present (70%, 50%, and 50%, respectively). Five patients (22%) had a combination of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy and abnormal craniofacial development, including 1 individual with clear Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) features. Brain MRI revealed hypomyelination in all cases, often with areas of pronounced T2 hyperintensity corresponding to T1 hypointensity of the white matter. Twenty-nine different pathogenic variants (including 12 new disease-causing variants) in POLR1C were identified. Conclusions:This study provides a comprehensive description of POLR3-HLD caused by biallelic POLR1C pathogenic variants based on the largest cohort of patients to date. These results suggest distinct characteristics of POLR1C-related disorder, with a spectrum of clinical involvement characterized by hypomyelinating leukodystrophy with or without abnormal craniofacial development reminiscent of TCS.

Biallelic variants in CEP164 cause a motile ciliopathy-like syndrome.

Project description:Ciliopathies may be classed as primary or motile depending on the underlying ciliary defect and are usually considered distinct clinical entities. Primary ciliopathies are associated with multisystem syndromes typically affecting the brain, kidney, and eye, as well as other organ systems such as the liver, skeleton, auditory system, and metabolism. Motile ciliopathies are a heterogenous group of disorders with defects in specialised motile ciliated tissues found within the lung, brain, and reproductive system, and are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia, bronchiectasis, infertility and rarely hydrocephalus. Primary and motile cilia share defined core ultra-structures with an overlapping proteome, and human disease phenotypes can reflect both primary and motile ciliopathies. CEP164 encodes a centrosomal distal appendage protein vital for primary ciliogenesis. Human CEP164 mutations are typically described in patients with nephronophthisis-related primary ciliopathies but have also been implicated in motile ciliary dysfunction. Here we describe a patient with an atypical motile ciliopathy phenotype and biallelic CEP164 variants. This work provides further evidence that CEP164 mutations can contribute to both primary and motile ciliopathy syndromes, supporting their functional and clinical overlap, and informs the investigation and management of CEP164 ciliopathy patients.

Biallelic variants in the ciliary gene TMEM67 cause RHYNS syndrome.

Project description:A rare syndrome was first described in 1997 in a 17-year-old male patient presenting with Retinitis pigmentosa, HYpopituitarism, Nephronophthisis and Skeletal dysplasia (RHYNS). In the single reported familial case, two brothers were affected, arguing for X-linked or recessive mode of inheritance. Up to now, the underlying genetic basis of RHYNS syndrome remains unknown. Here we applied whole-exome sequencing in the originally described family with RHYNS to identify compound heterozygous variants in the ciliary gene TMEM67. Sanger sequencing confirmed a paternally inherited nonsense c.622A > T, p.(Arg208*) and a maternally inherited missense variant c.1289A > G, p.(Asp430Gly), which perturbs the correct splicing of exon 13. Overall, TMEM67 showed one of the widest clinical continuum observed in ciliopathies ranging from early lethality to adults with liver fibrosis. Our findings extend the spectrum of phenotypes/syndromes resulting from biallelic TMEM67 variants to now eight distinguishable clinical conditions including RHYNS syndrome.
