Case report: A novel frameshift mutation in BRSK2 causes autism in a 16-year old Chinese boy.

Project description:Serine/threonine protein kinases are involved in axon formation and neuronal polarization and have recently been implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Here, we focus on BRSK2, which encodes brain-specific serine/threonine protein kinase 2. Although previous studies have reported 19 unrelated patients with BRSK2 pathogenic variation, only 15 of 19 patients have detailed clinical data. Therefore, more case reports are needed to enrich the phenotype associated with BRSK2 mutations. In this study, we report a novel de novo frameshift variant (c.442del, p.L148Cfs*39) identified by exome sequencing in a 16 year-old Chinese boy with ASD. The proband presented with attention-deficit, auditory hallucinations, limb tremor, and abnormal brain electrical activity mapping. This study expands the phenotypic spectrum of BRSK2-related cases and reveals the highly variable severity of disorders associated with BRSK2.

A novel <i>KRT5</i> mutation associated with generalized severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a 2-year-old Chinese boy.

Project description:Mutations in keratin 5 (KRT5) or KRT14 genes are responsible for the most severe form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), which is EBS generalized severe (EBS-gen sev). To date, only four pathogenic mutations (p.Arg165Ser and p.Lys199Asn in KRT5; p.Arg125Cys and p.Arg125His in KRT14) have been reported to be responsible for EBS-gen sev in the Chinese population. In the present study, a 2-year-old Chinese boy was clinically suspected to suffer from EBS, and thus Sanger sequencing was performed in the extracted genomic DNA samples from the patient, his parents and 100 healthy controls. A novel de novo heterozygous missense mutation c.503A>G (p.Glu168Gly) located at the N-terminal end segment of the 1A domain in KRT5 was identified by molecular analysis. In silico analysis tools were used to predict the pathogenicity of the novel missense mutation. A diagnosis of EBS-gen sev was thus confirmed according to the clinical presentations and molecular results.

Interstitial 14q24.3 to q31.3 deletion in a 6-year-old boy with a non-specific dysmorphic phenotype.

Project description:BackgroundFew patients with interstitial deletions in the distal long arm of chromosome 14 have been reported, and these patients showed rather indistinct features, including growth and mental retardation and phenotypic alterations.ResultsWe describe a de novo 14q interstitial deletion in a 6-year-old boy with dysmorphic facial traits such as hypertelorism, short and narrow palpebral fissures, broad nose with anteverted nostrils, long philtrum, thin upper lip with cupid's bow, prominent and everted lower lip, mildly low-set ears, as well as moderate developmental delay and mild mental retardation. Array-CGH mapped the deletion to the region 14q24.3 to 14q31.3, including 13.11 Mb, proximal to the imprinted genomic region of 14q32.ConclusionThis mild phenotypic presentation suggests that the deleted segment does not contain essential genes for early organ development. Twenty-two genes with known functions, including Neurexin III (NRXN3, OMIM 600567), map to the region deleted in the propositus.
