Microdeletion Syndrome

1q43q44 microdeletion syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability/global developmental delay, epilepsy, dysmorphic facies, stereotypic movement, language delay, recurrent infections, dental anomalies, and hand and foot anomalies. Microcephaly and corpus callosum dysplasia are present in some cases depending on gene content. 3q29 microduplication syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability, language delay, microcephaly, and dental anomalies. We report the first case with 4 de novo copy number variations with clinical features which overlap 1q43q44 microdeletion and 3q29 microduplication syndromes. Our case presented with global developmental delay, epilepsy, recurrent infections, stereotypic movements, speech delay, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, bilateral clinodactyly, and small puffy feet with metatarsus varus; however, she had no corpus callosum dysplasia. Our case highlights the role of multiple copy number variations in the occurrence of a certain phenotype. Moreover, it supports the theory that the loss of HNRNPU gene function cannot explain the occurrence of microcephaly and abnormalities of the corpus callosum in 1q43q44 microdeletion syndrome.

Смещение инактивации Х-хромосомы может быть следствием и маркером нарушения клеточной пролиферации при вариациях числа копий ДНК на Х-хромосоме. Х-сцепленные CNV выявляются как у женщин с невынашиванием беременности и смещением инактивации Х-хромосомы (с частотой 33,3%), так и у пациентов с умственной отсталостью и смещением инактивацией у их матерей (с частотой 40%). A skewed X-chromosome inactivation can be a consequence and a marker of impaired cell proliferation in the presence of copy number variations (CNV) on the X chromosome. X-linked CNVs are detected in women with miscarriages and a skewed X-chromosome inactivation (with a frequency of 33.3%), as well as in patients with intellectual disability and skewed X-chromosome inactivation in their mothers (with a frequency of 40%).

Several submicroscopic genomic deletions and duplications known as copy number variants (CNVs) have been reported to increase susceptibility to schizophrenia. Those for which the evidence is particularly strong include deletions at chromosomal segments 1q21.1, 3q29, 15q11.2, 15q13.3, 17q12 and 22q11.2, duplications at 15q11.2-q13.1, 16p13.1, and 16p11.2, and deletions atthe gene NRXN1. The effect of each on individual risk is relatively large, but it does not appear that any of them is alone sufficient to cause disorder in carriers. These CNVs often arise as new mutations(de novo). Analyses of genes enriched among schizophrenia implicated CNVs highlight the involvement in the disorder of post-synaptic processes relevant to glutamatergicsignalling, cognition and learning. CNVs that contribute to schizophrenia risk also contribute to other neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disability, developmental delay and autism. As a result of selection, all known pathogenic CNVs are rare, and none makes a sizeable contribution to overall population risk of schizophrenia, although the study of these mutations is nevertheless providing important insights into the origins of the disorder.

The treatment of major birth defects are key concerns for child health. Hitherto, for the majority of birth defects, the underlying cause remains unknown, likely to be heterogeneous. The implicated mortality and/or reduced fecundity in major birth defects suggest a significant fraction of mutational de novo events among the affected individuals. With the advent of systematic array-based molecular karyotyping, larger cohorts of affected individuals have been screened over the past decade. This review discusses the identification of disease-causing copy-number variations (CNVs) among individuals with different congenital malformations. It highlights the differences in findings depending on the respective congenital malformation. It looks at the differences in findings of CNV analysis in non-isolated complex congenital malformations, associated with central nervous system malformations or intellectual disabilities, compared to isolated single organ-system malformations. We propose that the more complex an organ system is, and the more genes involved during embryonic development, the more likely it is that mutational de novo events, comprising CNVs, will confer to the expression of birth defects of this organ system.

Familial Risk Factors

The purpose of this study was to examine the confluence of genetic and familial risk factors in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with distinct de novo genetic events. We hypothesized that gene-disrupting mutations would be associated with reduced rates of familial psychiatric disorders relative to structural mutations. Participants included families of children with ASD in four groups: de novo duplication copy number variations (DUP, n=62), de novo deletion copy number variations (DEL, n=74), de novo likely gene-disrupting mutations (LGDM, n=267), and children without a known genetic etiology (NON, n=2111). Familial rates of psychiatric disorders were calculated from semistructured interviews. Results indicated overall increased rates of psychiatric disorders in DUP families compared to DEL and LGDM families, specific to paternal psychiatric histories, and particularly evident for depressive disorders. Higher rates of depressive disorders in maternal psychiatric histories were observed overall compared to paternal histories and higher rates of anxiety disorders were observed in paternal histories for LGDM families compared to DUP families. These findings support the notion of an additive contribution of genetic etiology and familial factors are associated with ASD risk and highlight critical need for continued work targeting these relationships.
