Project description:We identified a missense variant in PSMD12 gene, recently associated to an emerging syndromic form of NDD, in a patient with intellectual disability/speech delay, congenital anomalies and facial dysmorphisms. The variant described herein is useful to expand the molecular spectrum of heterozygous PSMD12 mutations and to provide insight into the molecular pathogenesis of this new condition since it is, to the best of our knowledge, the first missense substitution to date reported in medical literature. Finally, our patient is the one with the most detailed dysmorphic characterization and for this reason useful to start defining a typical facial gestalt that addresses the diagnosis.

Project description:KAT5 encodes an essential lysine acetyltransferase previously called TIP60 involved in gene expression, DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, apoptosis and cell proliferation; but it remains unclear whether variants in this gene causes a genetic disease. Here, we study three individuals with heterozygous de novo missense variants in KAT5 that affect normally invariant residues, with one at the chromodomain (p.Arg53His) and two at or near the acetyl-CoA binding site (p.Cys369Ser and p.Ser413Ala). All three individuals have cerebral malformations, seizures, global developmental delay or intellectual disability, and severe sleep disturbance. Progressive cerebellar atrophy was also noted. Histone acetylation assays with purified mutant KAT5 demonstrated that the variants decrease or abolish the ability of the resulting NuA4/TIP60 multi-subunit complexes to acetylate the histone H4 tail in chromatin. Transcriptomic analysis in patient-derived fibroblasts showed deregulation of multiple genes controlling development. Moreover, there was also upregulated expression of PER1 (a key gene involved in circadian control), in agreement with sleep anomalies in all the patients. In conclusion, dominant missense KAT5 variants cause histone acetylation deficiency with transcriptional dysregulation of multiples genes, thereby leading to a neurodevelopmental syndrome with sleep disturbance, cerebellar atrophy and facial dysmorphisms suggesting a recognizable syndrome.

Project description:We report a recurrent microdeletion syndrome causing mental retardation, epilepsy and variable facial and digital dysmorphisms. We describe nine patients, including six probands; two with de novo deletions, two who inherited the deletion from an affected parent, and two with unknown inheritance. The proximal breakpoint of the largest deletion is contiguous with breakpoint 3 (BP3) of the Prader-Willi/Angelman region extending 3.95 Mb distally to BP5. A smaller 1.5 Mb deletion has proximal breakpoint within the larger deletion (BP4) and shares the same distal BP5. This recurrent 1.5 Mb deletion contains six genes, including a candidate gene for epilepsy (CHRNA7) that is likely responsible for the observed seizure phenotype. The BP4-BP5 region undergoes frequent inversion, suggesting a possible link between this inversion polymorphism and recurrent deletion. The frequency of these microdeletions in mental retardation cases is ~0.3% (6/2082 tested), a prevalence comparable to that of the Williams, Angelman, and Prader-Willi syndromes.

Project description:Pathogenic variants in multiple X-linked genes have been implicated in syndromic and non- syndromic intellectual disability disorders. The gene ZFX on Xp22.11 encodes a transcription factor that has been linked to diverse processes including oncogenesis and development, but germline variants have not previously been reported in association with disease. Here, we present clinical and molecular characterization of 18 patients with germline ZFX variants. Exome or genome sequencing revealed 11 variants in 18 subjects (14 males and 4 females) from 16 unrelated families. Four missense variants were identified in 11 subjects, with seven frameshift variants in the remaining individuals. Clinical findings included developmental delay/intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, hypotonia, and congenital anomalies. Overlapping and recurrent facial features were identified in all subjects, including thickening and medial broadening of eyebrows, variations in the shape of the face, external eye abnormalities, smooth and/or long philtrum and ear abnormalities. Hyperparathyroidism was found in 4 families with missense variants and enrichment of different types of tumors was also observed. In molecular studies, variants in the DNA-binding domain demonstrated differential expression of target genes relative to wild-type ZFX in cultured cells, suggesting a gain or loss of transcriptional activity. Additionally, a zebrafish model of ZFX loss displayed an altered behavioral phenotype, supporting the pathogenicity of predicted loss- of-function frameshift variants. Our clinical and experimental data support that variants in ZFX cause a novel X-linked intellectual disability syndrome characterized by a recurrent facial gestalt, neurocognitive and behavioral abnormalities, and an increased risk for congenital anomalies and hyperparathyroidism.

Patients with potential 15q13 deletions were then analyzed on a custom oligonucleotide array targeted to the 15q13 region, results of which are shown here.

Project description:Oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFD) are a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders characterized by malformations of the face and oral cavity, and digit anomalies. To date, mutations in 12 ciliary-related genes have been identified to cause several OFD types suggesting OFDs constitute a subgroup of developmental ciliopathies. Through homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing performed on two families with variable OFD type 2, we identified distinct germline mutations in INTS13, a subunit of the Integrator Complex. This 14-component complex associates with RNAPII and can cleave nascent RNA to modulate gene expression. We determined that INTS13 utilizes a discrete domain within its C-terminus to bind the Integrator cleavage module, which is disrupted by the identified germline INTS13 mutations. Depletion of INTS13 disrupts ciliogenesis in human cultured cells and causes dysregulation of a broad collection of ciliary genes. Accordingly, its knockdown in Xenopus embryos lead to motile cilia anomalies. Altogether, we show that mutations in INTS13 cause an autosomal recessive ciliopathy, which reveal key interactions within Integrator components.

Project description:Localized scleroderma (LoS), or morphea, refers to a group of rare autoimmune connective tissue diseases. Autologous fat grafting was able to correct volume loss in patients with LoS to improve facial disfigurement.However, whether it could exert a positive effect on reversing skin sclerosis remains unclear.
