A novel variant of Paganini-Miozzo syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Paganini-Miozzo syndrome (MRXSPM) is a rare neurogenetic disorder that is transmitted by X-linked recessive inheritance. This is the third case reported of this disease in the world with a novel variant. A boy was referred due to the absence of neck holding and hand tremors. The examinations found facial anomalies. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebral atrophy and diffused white matter, and irregularities were seen in his electroencephalogram (EEG). The echocardiography revealed a mid-muscular ventricular septal defect. A whole exome sequencing (WES) analysis revealed a novel variant (c.979C > T; p.Pro327Ser) of uncertain significance in the HS6ST2 gene indicating Paganini-Miozzo syndrome. The current case provides additional evidence that MRXSPM can be associated with various neurological and cardiac complications. It is essential to rule out other causes, such as metabolic and infectious diseases. EEG, MRI and WES analyses can help to make a definitive diagnosis.

A novel GABRB3 variant in Dravet syndrome: Case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundMutations in GABRB3 have been identified in subjects with different types of epilepsy and epileptic syndromes, including West syndrome (WS), Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), myoclonic-atonic epilepsy (MAE), and others.Methods and resultsWe herewith report on a girl affected by DS, who has been followed from infancy to the current age of 18 years. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genetic testing for multigene analysis of neurodevelopmental disorders identified two likely de novo pathogenic mutations, a missense variant in GABRB3 gene (c.842 C>T; p.Thr281IIe) and a nonsense variant found in BBS4 gene (c.883 C>T; p.Arg295Ter).ConclusionA likely relationship between the novel GABRB3 gene variant and the clinical manifestations presented by the girl is proposed. Previously, one case of DS and two of DS-like linked with GABRB3 mutations have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of DS associated with this novel variant. A literature review of clinical cases with various types of epileptic encephalopathies (EEs) related to GABRB3 mutations is reported.

Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome with a novel pathogenic variant in KMT2A: a case report.

Project description:Case descriptionWe report the case of a one-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome based on the identification of a novel de novo frameshift mutation in the KMT2A gene by whole exome sequencing and supported by her clinical features.Clinical findingsKMT2A mutations cause Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome, a very rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital hypertrichosis, short stature, intellectual disability, and distinct facial features.Treatment and outcomeWhole exome sequencing identified a novel frameshift variant: c. 4177dupA (p.Ile1393Asnfs * 14) in KMT2A; this change generates an alteration of the specific binding to non-methylated CpG motifs of the DNA to the protein. The genotype and phenotype of the patient were compared with those of earlier reported patients in the literature.Clinical relevanceIn diseases with low frequency, it is necessary to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation that allows the establishment of therapeutic and follow-up goals. The phenotype comparation with other reported cases did not show differences attributable to sex or age among patients with Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome. Whole exome sequencing allows identifying causality in conditions with high clinical and genetic heterogeneity like hypertrichosis.

Harel-Yoon syndrome caused by a novel variant in ATAD3A: A case report.

Project description:ObjectivesTo describe the clinical feature of a very recently identified phenotype associated with ATAD3A variation.MethodsA neonate with Harel-Yoon syndrome was identified. We describe the proband's clinical and radiological features. The affected newborn and her parents underwent whole-exome sequencing and PCR-Sanger sequencing.ResultsPreviously reported clinical manifestations were rare in the neonatal period, including unmanageable seizures necessitating the use of multiple drugs, congenital laryngeal stridor, hypotonia, challenges with feeding, corneal opacity, and subsequent demise due to respiratory failure. Molecular investigations have unveiled the presence of a newly identified heterozygous single-base substitution (c.1517A > C; p.Q506P) within the ATAD3A gene.DiscussionThis study unveils a novel single-base substitution, thereby expanding the mutation spectrum associated with ATAD3A. Furthermore, the clinical characteristics exhibited during the neonatal phase are comprehensively described, potentially facilitating improved clinical recognition of ATAD3A-associated HAYOS.

Case Report: Novel Copy Number Variant 16p11.2 Duplication Associated With Prune Belly Syndrome.

Project description:Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital disease that predominantly occurs in males and is identified by its classic triad of abdominal wall musculature deficiencies, cryptorchidism, and urinary tract abnormalities. However, numerous anomalies involving the kidneys, heart, lungs, and muscles have also been reported. A multitude of chromosomal abnormalities have been implicated in its pathogenesis. PBS can occur in association with trisomy 18 and 21. Gene duplications and deletions have also been reported; however, a definite cause of PBS is still unknown. We report the first PBS patient with a copy number variant in 16p11.2.

Vohwinkel syndrome, ichthyosiform variant--by Camisa--case report.

Project description:Vohwinkel syndrome or keratoderma hereditaria mutilans is a rare autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratosis, which manifests in infants and becomes more evident in adulthood. Its mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant with mutation in loricrin and Connexin 26 genes. Patients with this mutation present hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, constricting bands of the digits, usually on the fifth, and starfish-shaped hyperkeratosis on the dorsal aspects of the hands and feet. The disease mostly occurs in white women, where constricting fibrous bands appear on the digits and can lead to progressive strangulation and auto-amputation (pseudo-ain-hum).The authors report a rare case of a patient with a clinical ichthyosiform variant of Vohwinkel syndrome.

Case Report: A novel <i>PHOX2B</i> p.Ala248_Ala266dup variant causing congenital central hypoventilation syndrome.

Project description:IntroductionCongenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disease characterized by central alveolar hypoventilation and impaired autonomic regulation, caused by pathogenic variants of PHOX2B gene. More than 90% of patients have a polyalanine repeat mutation (PARM) in the heterozygous state, characterized by the expansion of GCN repeats and an increase in the number of alanine repeats, so that genotypes 20/24-20/33 are formed (the normal genotype is 20/20). The remaining 10% of patients harbor non-PARMs.Case descriptionWe present a clinical case of a girl with a novel PHOX2B heterozygous genetic variant in the exon 3: NM_003924.4: c.735_791dup, p.Ala248_Ala266dup. The duplication includes 16 GCN (alanine) repeats and 3 adjacent amino acids. Both clinically healthy parents demonstrated a normal PHOX2B sequence. In addition, the girl has a variant of unknown significance in RYR1 gene and a variant of unknown significance in NKX2-5 gene. The child's phenotype is quite special. She needs ventilation during sleep, and has Hirschsprung's disease type I, arteriovenous malformation S4 of the left lung, ventricular and atrium septal defects, coronary right ventricular fistula, hemodynamically nonsignificant, episodes of sick sinus and atrioventricular dissociation with bradycardia, divergent alternating strabismus, and oculus uterque (both eyes) (OU) retinal angiopathy. Two episodes of hypoglycemic seizures were also registered. Severe pulmonary hypertension resolved after appropriate ventilation adjustment. Diagnostic odyssey was quite dramatic.ConclusionDetection of a novel PHOX2B variant expands the understanding of molecular mechanisms of CCHS and genotype-phenotype correlations.

First case report of inherited Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome associated with a novel EP300 variant.

Project description:BackgroundRubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS; OMIM #180849, #613684) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by broad thumbs and halluces, facial dysmorphism, short stature and variable degree of intellectual disability. RSTS is associated with mutations in CREBBP and EP300 genes in 50-60% and 5-8% of cases, respectively. The majority of cases are de novo heterozygous mutations.Case presentationHere we describe a familial RSTS case, associated with a novel EP300 mutation. The proband was a 9 years old female, with mild learning difficulties. Her mother, who also had learning difficulties, was found to have short and broad thumbs. MLPA and panel-based NGS of CREBBP and EP300 were performed. A novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in exon 31 of the EP300 gene (c.7222_7223del; p.(Gln2408Glufs*39)) was found in both.ConclusionsThis case represents the first case of inherited EP300-RSTS. The location of the frameshift deletion not affecting HAT domain and PHD finger, could explain the mild phenotype and the well-preserved intelligence. These patients are mildly affected, and this case highlights the possible missed diagnosis. We would recommend molecular testing of apparently healthy parents, and in the case of inherited mutations, of all adult first degree relatives at risk.

A novel variant site of Alstrom syndrome in a Chinese child: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAlstrom syndrome (ALMS) is an ultra-rare multisystem genetic disorder caused by autosomal recessive inheritance of the ALMS1 gene. It manifests as multisystem dysfunction, displaying unique clinical signs and symptoms and various severity, which may lead to delayed prognosis or misdiagnosis in medical practice. Although almost 300 pathogenic variants have been reported, there are some variant sites that have not been recognized yet.Case descriptionWe report a case of a 14-year-old boy with manifestations, including binocular vision loss, acanthosis nigricans, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, elevated transaminase, hepatic fibrosis, and proteinuria. Compound heterozygous variants in the ALMS1 gene have been discovered by whole exon sequencing. One of his variant sites was C. 8158C>T, which was from his father. And the other variant site was C. 3575C>A, which was from his mother. To the great of our knowledge, this site has not been reported before. Both of the variants make the synthesis of the peptide chain terminated in advance and an incomplete polypeptide chain is formed.ConclusionsThe clinical presentations of ALMS are complicated and varied. Although early diagnosis can be made according to typical clinical symptoms, whole exon sequencing is necessary for the diagnosis of ALMS, as indicated by our study.

Novel variant in NSDHL gene associated with CHILD syndrome and syndactyly- a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects also known as CHILD syndrome is an X-linked dominant, male lethal genodermatosis with a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 live births. Mutations in NSDHL gene located at Xq28 potentially impair the function of NAD(P) H steroid dehydrogenase-like protein and is responsible for its pathogenesis.Case presentationThe proband was a 9-month-old twin (T2) girl with a healthy twin sister (T1) of Sri Lankan origin born to non-consanguineous parents. She presented with right sided continuous icthyosiform erythroderma and ipsilateral limb defects and congenital hemidysplasia since birth. Notably the child had ipsilateral hand hypoplasia and syndactyly. There were other visceral abnormalities. We performed whole exome sequencing and found a novel heterozygous variant (NSDHL, c.713C > A, p.Thr238Asn).ConclusionWe report a novel missense variant in the NSDHL gene that resides in a highly-conserved region. This variant affects the NAD(P) H steroid dehydrogenase-like protein function via reduction in the number of active sites resulting in the CHILD syndrome phenotype and syndactyly.

Prenatal diagnosis of auriculocondylar syndrome with a novel missense variant of GNAI3: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAuriculocondylar syndrome (ACS) is a rare disorder characterized by micrognathia, mandibular condyle hypoplasia, and auricular abnormalities. Only 6 pathogenic variants of GNAI3 have been identified associated with ACS so far. Here, we report a case of prenatal genetic diagnosis of ACS carrying a novel GNAI3 variant.Case presentationA woman with 30 weeks of gestation was referred to genetic counseling for polyhydramnios and fetal craniofacial anomaly. Severe micrognathia and mandibular hypoplasia were identified on ultrasonography. The mandibular length was 2.4 cm, which was markedly smaller than the 95th percentile. The ears were low-set with no cleft or notching between the lobe and helix. The face was round with prominent cheeks. Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel de novo missense variant of c.140G > A in the GNAI3 gene. This mutation caused an amino acid substitution of p.Ser47Asn in the highly conserved G1 motif, which was predicted to impair the guanine nucleotide-binding function. All ACS cases with GNAI3 mutations were literature reviewed, revealing female-dominated severe cases and right-side-prone deformities.ConclusionSevere micrognathia and mandibular hypoplasia accompanied by polyhydramnios are prenatal indicators of ACS. We expanded the mutation spectrum of GNAI3 and summarized clinical features to promote awareness of ACS.
