AbstractMutations in ANO3 have recently been identified as an autosomal dominant cause of dystonia (dystonia-24). Since then, the phenotypic spectrum has also been extended in children. Here, we reported a case of a 10-year-old Turkish girl child patient with a novel variant (NM_001313726: c.221dupA, p.Tyr74*), who exhibited tremor with mild dystonia. This report expands the phenotype caused by ANO3 variants and reveals an essential clinical aspect for patients and medical staff.

AbstractOtospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia (OSMED) is an inherited autosomal dominant and recessive skeletal dysplasia caused by both heterozygous and homozygous pathogenic variants in COL11A2 encoding the α2(XI) collagen chains, a part of type XI collagen. Here, we describe a 2-year-old girl presenting from birth with a phenotype suggestive of OSMED. On whole exome sequence analysis of the family via commercially available methods, we detected two novel heterozygous pathogenic variants in the proband. In addition, we reviewed the phenotype of autosomal recessive OSMED cases with COL11A2 pathogenic variants reported to date and quantitatively highlighted the phenotypic spectrum.

AbstractANK3 encodes multiple isoforms of ankyrin-G, resulting in variegated tissue expression and function, especially regarding its role in neuronal development. Based on the zygosity, location, and type, ANK3 variants result in different neurodevelopmental phenotypes. Autism spectrum disorder has been associated with heterozygous missense variants in ANK3, whereas a more severe neurodevelopmental phenotype is caused by isoform-dependent, autosomal-dominant, or autosomal-recessive loss-of-function variants. Here, we present four individuals affected by a variable neurodevelopmental phenotype harboring a heterozygous frameshift or nonsense variant affecting all ANK3 transcripts. Thus, we provide further evidence of an isoform-based phenotypic continuum underlying ANK3-associated pathologies and expand its phenotypic spectrum.

AbstractPrimary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a neurological condition characterized by the presence of intracranial calcifications, mainly involving basal ganglia, thalamus, and dentate nuclei. So far, six genes have been linked to this condition: SLC20A2, PDGFRB, PDGFB, and XPR1 inherited as autosomal-dominant trait, while MYORG and JAM2 present a recessive pattern of inheritance. Patients mainly present with movement disorders, psychiatric disturbances, and cognitive decline or are completely asymptomatic and calcifications may represent an occasional finding. Here we present three variants in SLC20A2, two exonic and one intronic, which we found in patients with PFBC associated to three different clinical phenotypes. One variant is novel and two were already described as variants of uncertain significance. We confirm the pathogenicity of these three variants and suggest a broadening of the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in SLC20A2.

Leydig Cell Tumours

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours of the ovary (SLCT) are rare tumours predominantly caused by mutations in the DICER1 gene. We present a patient with a unilateral SLCT who had an underlying germline DICER1 gene mutation. We discuss the underlying pathology, risks, and screening opportunities available to those with a mutation in this gene as SLCT is only one of a multitude of other tumours encompassing DICER1 syndrome. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. As such, genetic counselling is a key component of the management of women with SLCT.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) also known as Bournneville disease. TSC is a multisystemic genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, of variable expression, which is mainly characterized by the presence of benign tumors or hamartomas in the nervous system and skin, but which may also be present in the heart, kidney, lung and other organs. The most frequent symptom is epilepsy, affecting 80-90% of patients with TSC which manifests itself in childhood between 1 to 3 years of age. We present a case of sporadic onset tuberous sclerosis with epilepsy that had a causal link with TSC after admission to the emergency room in a convulsive status.

A family is described in which four persons in three generations suffered spontaneous pneumothoraces: a newborn, an infant, an adolescent, and an adult. Review of the literature reveals 61 reports of familial spontaneous pneumothorax in 22 families. The ratio of male to female cases is approximately 1.8. Affected parents and affected children (including affected fathers and sons) are seen in ten families, while affected siblings with unaffected parents are noted in 13 families. Consanguinity has not been reported. Although autosomal dominant inheritance has been suggested as an explanation of familial spontaneous pneumothorax, available pedigree data are not adequate for statistical analysis. Physicians should be aware of the familial occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax so that members of such families may be appropriately managed when problems arise.

Insight Into

To date, 13 patients with interstitial microduplications involving Xq25q26.2 have been reported. Here, we report 6 additional patients from 2 families with duplications involving Xq25q26.2. Family I carries a 5.3-Mb duplication involving 26 genes. This duplication was identified in 3 patients and was associated with microcephaly, growth failure, developmental delay, and dysmorphic features. Family II carries an overlapping 791-kb duplication that involves 3 genes. This duplication was identified in 3 patients and was associated with learning disability and speech delay. The size and gene content of published overlapping Xq25q26.2 duplications vary, making it difficult to define a critical region or establish a genotype-phenotype correlation. However, patients with overlapping duplications have been found to share common clinical features including microcephaly, growth failure, intellectual disability, learning difficulties, and dysmorphic features. The 2 families presented here provide additional insight into the phenotypic spectrum and clinical significance of duplications in this region.

Cacna1a Gene

Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare autosomal dominant subtype of migraine with aura that is characterized by motor weakness during attacks. FHM1 is associated with mutations in the CACNA1A gene located on chromosome 19. We report a severe, prolonged HM attack in a young pregnant patient who had the S218L FHM1. This CACNA1A mutation has been associated with HM, delayed cerebral oedema and coma following minor head trauma. The case history we report suggests a specific, severe phenotype and the co-occurrence of HM and epilepsy related to the S218L FHM1 mutation.
