Novel compound heterozygous variants in XYLT1 gene caused Desbuquois dysplasia type 2 in an aborted fetus: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Desbuquois dysplasia type 2 (DBQD2) is an infrequent dysplasia with a wide range of symptoms, including facial deformities, growth retardation and short long bones. It is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the XYLT1 gene that encodes xylosyltransferase-1.

Case presentation

We studied an aborted fetus from Iranian non-consanguineous parents who was therapeutically aborted at 19 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound examinations at 18 weeks of gestation revealed growth retardation in her long bones and some facial problems. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the aborted fetus which revealed compound heterozygous XYLT1 mutations: c.742G>A; p.(Glu248Lys) and c.1537 C>A; p.(Leu513Met). Sanger sequencing and segregation analysis confirmed the compound heterozygosity of these variants in XYLT1.

Conclusion

The c.1537 C>A; p.(Leu513Met) variant has not been reported in any databases so far and therefore is novel. This is the third compound heterozygote report in XYLT1 and further supports the high heterogeneity of this disease.

Case Report: Prenatal Diagnosis of a Fetus With Harlequin Ichthyosis Identifies Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants: A Case Report.

Project description:BackgroundHarlequin ichthyosis (HI) is the most severe form of the keratinizing disorders, and it is characterized by whole-body hard stratum corneum. ABCA12 has been identified as the major disease-causing gene of HI.MethodsA case of HI was prenatally diagnosed by ultrasonography and genetic tests. The fetus had been found with dentofacial deformity and profound thickening of the palm and plantar soft tissues. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were then performed on the amniotic fluid to identify germline pathogenic variants for the fetus. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.ResultsCompound heterozygous frameshift variants (p.Q719QfsX21; p.F2286LfsX6) of ABCA12 were identified for the fetus, suggesting the former variants were maternally inherited and the latter paternally inherited. The fetus was terminated.ConclusionA prenatal molecular diagnosis is an important approach for the prevention of HI. In the study, we provided a successful case of genetic counseling for a family with an HI baby.

Child-Onset Cerebellar Ataxia Caused by Two Compound Heterozygous Variants in ADPRS Gene: A Case Report.

Project description:Background: Gene variants of ADP-ribosylserine hydrosylase, also known as ADP-ribosylhydrolase-like 2 (ADPRS or ADPRLH2; OMIM: 610624), can cause stress-induced childhood-onset neurodegeneration with variable ataxia and seizures (CONDSIAS, OMIM: 618170), an ultra-rare neurodegenerative autosomal recessive disorder. ADPRS encodes ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3, which removes poly(ADP-ribose) polymers, whose posttranslational addition occurs under stressful conditions. Case Presentation: After a respiratory tract infection, a 30-month-old male patient presented with unsteady gait that rendered walking impossible without external help. Neurological examination revealed acute cerebellar ataxia, electroencephalogram results were abnormal, and brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed slightly widened cerebellar sulci. Laboratory tests showed decreased levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, and increased levels of plasma lactic acid and serum cardiac enzymes. The cerebrospinal fluid glucose test was positive. Four months after onset, the patient died of sudden convulsions. Using whole exome sequencing, we identified two novel compound heterozygous ADPRS variants: NM_017825.3:c.580C>T (p.Gln194Ter) and NM_017825.3:c.803-1G>A. RNA sequencing indicated that the former mutation might cause nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.803-1G>A variant was found to be a splice-site mutation that leads to the transcriptional retention of intron 5. According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the two variants were classified as pathogenic. Conclusion: We present the first report of the existence of two compound heterozygous variants of ADPRS, which leads to CONDSIAS.

Case Report: Congenital tuberculosis in an aborted dromedary camel fetus.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem worldwide, especially in tropical developing countries. Nevertheless, reports on congenital TB in humans and animals are extremely rare. In this study, abortion was reported in an 8-year-old she-camel at the 9th month of gestation. The she-camel appeared healthy in clinical examination, had a good body condition score, normal appetite, and had no signs of respiratory disease and fever. The expelled placenta was dark red-colored, thickened, and edematous with multifocal to coalescing ecchymotic hemorrhages on the allantoic surface. The striking finding was multiple, white-yellow, solid nodular lesions in the fetal lung, the pleura, and the liver. On histopathology, typical granulomatous lesions were detected in the lung and the liver characterized by caseous necrosis surrounded by lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration and concentric layers of fibrosis. The Ziehl-Neelsen staining detected scarce acid-fast bacilli in lung and liver tissues. The DNA extracted from tubercular lesions from the lung and liver showed amplification of the IS6110 region of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by PCR. The sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed a close association of these sequences with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The she-camel was detected positive for a single intradermal tuberculin test performed 24 h after abortion. This is the first report on congenital TB caused by M. tuberculosis in a dromedary camel fetus with a possible vertical transmission.

Case Report: Infantile-Onset Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Caused by Novel Compound Heterozygous LRBA Variants.

Project description:Lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor (LRBA) deficiency is a subtype of common variable immune deficiency (CVID). Numerous case reports and cohort studies have described a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and variable disease phenotypes, including immune dysregulation, enteropathy, and recurrent infections. Although LRBA deficiency is an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency resulting in a phenotype similar to CVID, it is a monogenic disease and separate from CVID. Recently, in a report of monogenic primary immunodeficiency disorder associated with CVID and autoimmunity, the most common mutated gene was LRBA. We report the case of a girl who presented with fulminant type 1 diabetes at age 7 months. She later experienced recurrent bacterial infections with neutropenia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Clinical genome sequencing revealed compound heterozygosity of the LRBA gene, which bore two novel mutations. A genetic basis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for very young patients with fulminant autoimmunity, and the diagnostic work-up should include evaluation of markers of immunodeficiency.

Case report: Compound heterozygous NUP85 variants cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly.

Project description:Nucleoporin (NUP) 85 is a member of the Y-complex of nuclear pore complex (NPC) that is key for nucleocytoplasmic transport function, regulation of mitosis, transcription, and chromatin organization. Mutations in various nucleoporin genes have been linked to several human diseases. Among them, NUP85 was linked to childhood-onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in four affected individuals with intellectual disability but no microcephaly. Recently, we broaden the phenotype spectrum of NUP85-associated disease by reporting NUP85 variants in two unrelated individuals with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (MCPH) and Seckel syndrome (SCKS) spectrum disorders (MCPH-SCKS) without SRNS. In this study, we report compound heterozygous NUP85 variants in an index patient with only MCPH phenotype, but neither Seckel syndrome nor SRNS was reported. We showed that the identified missense variants cause reduced cell viability of patient-derived fibroblasts. Structural simulation analysis of double variants is predicted to alter the structure of NUP85 and its interactions with neighboring NUPs. Our study thereby further expands the phenotypic spectrum of NUP85-associated human disorder and emphasizes the crucial role of NUP85 in the brain development and function.

Case Report: Novel compound heterozygous TPRKB variants cause Galloway-Mowat syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundGalloway-Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by early-onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with central nervous system abnormalities. Pathogenic variants in genes encoding kinase, endopeptidase, and other proteins of small size (KEOPS) complex subunits cause GAMOS. The subunit TPRKB (TP53RK binding protein) has been reported in only two patients with GAMOS with homozygous missense variants.Clinical reportHerein, we described a three-year-old male with GAMOS. He exhibited developmental delay, developmental regression, microcephaly, distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, and epilepsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed progressive brain atrophy, delayed myelination, T2-hypointense signals in the thalamus, and multiple intracranial abnormal signals on diffusion-weighted imaging. He presented with relapsing nephrotic proteinuria exacerbated by upper respiratory tract infections and progressive renal function decline. Exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous missense and frameshift variants in TPRKB: c.224dup, p.(Ser76IlefsTer3) and c.247C>T, p.(Leu83Phe).ConclusionsOur study supports that pathogenic TPRKB variants cause KEOPS complex-related GAMOS.

[Infantile hypophosphatasia caused by a novel compound heterozygous mutation: a case report and pedigree analysis].

Project description:This article reported the clinical features of one child with infantile hypophosphatasia (HPP) and his pedigree information. The proband was a 5-month-old boy with multiple skeletal dysplasia (koilosternia, bending deformity of both radii, and knock-knee deformity of both knees), feeding difficulty, reduction in body weight, developmental delay, recurrent pneumonia and respiratory failure, and a significant reduction in blood alkaline phosphatase. Among his parents, sister, uncle, and aunt (other family members did not cooperate with us in the examination), his parents and aunt had a slight reduction in alkaline phosphatase and his aunt had scoliosis; there were no other clinical phenotypes or abnormal laboratory testing results. His ALPL gene mutation came from c.228delG mutation in his mother and c.407G>A compound heterozygous mutation in his father. His aunt carried c.228delG mutation. The c.407G>A mutation had been reported as the pathogenic mutation of HPP, and c.228delG mutation was a novel pathogenic mutation. Hypophosphatasia is caused by ALPL gene mutation, and ALPL gene detection is an effective diagnostic method. This study expands the mutation spectrum of ALPL gene and provides a theoretical basis for genetic diagnosis of this disease.

MCAD deficiency caused by compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in ACADM.

Project description:Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic pathogenic ACADM variants. We report a case of an asymptomatic Japanese girl with MCAD deficiency caused by compound heterozygous pathogenic variants (NM_000016.5:c.1040G > T (p.Gly347Val) and c.449_452delCTGA (p.Thr150ArgfsTer4)). Because the MCAD residual activity in lymphocytes of the patient was below the limit of quantification, both variants are likely to cause complete loss of MCAD enzymatic activity.

Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease Caused by PLA2G6 Compound Heterozygous Mutation, a Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:PLA2G6 has been certified as a causative gene in patients with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). We reported an EOPD case caused by PLA2G6 gene mutation, and performed neurological examination, genetic analysis, and multimodal neuroimaging to describe this phenotype. A compound heterozygous mutation c.991G>T/c.1472+1G>A was detected in this patient. Heterozygous for the c.991G>T and c.1472+1G>A were separately detected in his parents. Pathogenicity of these two mutations were predicted according to the American college of medical genetics and genomics (ACMG) guideline. MRI assessment showed absence of bilateral "swallow tail sign" and cerebellar atrophy in this patient, while no obvious difference in brain iron accumulation between PLA2G6 mutant PD patient and healthy controls. Cerebellar abnormalities may be a marker for diagnosis and evaluation of PLA2G6 mutation Parkinsonism. However, the iron accumulation in PD may not be the result of PLA2G6 mutation.
