AbstractThis retrospective study was aiming to determine the cost effectiveness of whole exome sequencing (WES) in the diagnosis of children with developmental delay in a developing country. In this study of 40 patients, the average cost of traditional investigations and indirect costs related to rehabilitation and medications per child were USD847 and 6,585 per year, respectively. With a current cost for WES of approximately USD1,200, we concluded that performing WES could be cost effective, even in countries with limited resources, as it provides the option for genetic counseling in affected families with an ultimate reduction of overall financial burden to both parents and health care system.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorders with language impairment and behavioral abnormalities (NEDLIB) are a disease caused by heterozygous variants in the glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 2 (GRIA2) gene, which manifest as impaired mental development or developmental delay, behavioral abnormalities including autistic characteristics, and language disorders. Currently, only a few mutations in the GRIA2 gene have been discovered.Methods: A GRIA2 variation was detected in a patient by whole-exome sequencing, and the site was validated by Sanger sequencing from the family.Results: We report a Chinese case of NEDLIB in a girl with language impairment and developmental delay through whole-exome sequencing (WES). Genetic analysis showed that there was a de novo missense mutation, c.1934T > G (p.Leu645Arg), in the GRIA2 gene (NM_001083619.1), which has never been reported before.Conclusion: Our case shows the potential diagnostic role of WES in NEDLIB, expands the GRIA2 gene mutation spectrum, and further deepens the understanding of NEDLIB. Deepening the study of the genetic and clinical heterogeneity, treatment, and prognosis of the disease is still our future challenge and focus.

AbstractIn this study, we detected a novel pathogenic variant and a previously reported variant in RAB3GAP1 by whole-exome sequencing (NM_001172435.2: c.1552C>T, p.Gln518*; c.1471C>T, p.Arg491*). The first patient is a 3-year-old girl who presented with bilateral congenital cataracts, developmental delay, abnormal craniofacial features, drug-resistant constipation, and corpus callosum hypoplasia. The proband of the second family is a 13-year-old boy who suffers from developmental delay, quadriplegia, intellectual disability, abnormal craniofacial features, and corpus callosum hypoplasia.

ObjectiveTo identify underlying genetic causes in patients with pediatric movement disorders by genetic investigations.MethodsAll patients with a movement disorder seen in a single Pediatric Genetic Movement Disorder Clinic were included in this retrospective cohort study. We reviewed electronic patient charts for clinical, neuroimaging, biochemical, and molecular genetic features. DNA samples were used for targeted direct sequencing, targeted next-generation sequencing, or whole exome sequencing.ResultsThere were 51 patients in the Pediatric Genetic Movement Disorder Clinic. Twenty-five patients had dystonia, 27 patients had ataxia, 7 patients had chorea-athetosis, 8 patients had tremor, and 7 patients had hyperkinetic movements. A genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 26 patients, including in 20 patients with ataxia and 6 patients with dystonia. Targeted next-generation sequencing panels confirmed a genetic diagnosis in 9 patients, and whole exome sequencing identified a genetic diagnosis in 14 patients.ConclusionsWe report a genetic diagnosis in 26 (51%) patients with pediatric movement disorders seen in a single Pediatric Genetic Movement Disorder Clinic. A genetic diagnosis provided either disease-specific treatment or effected management in 10 patients with a genetic diagnosis, highlighting the importance of early and specific diagnosis.
