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%).

ObjectiveTo describe the clinical and molecular genetic findings in a family segregating a novel mutation in the AIFM1 gene on the X chromosome.MethodsWe studied the clinical features and performed brain MRI scans, nerve conduction studies, audiometry, cognitive testing, and clinical exome sequencing (CES) in the proband, his mother, and maternal uncle. We used in silico tools, X chromosome inactivation assessment, and Western blot analysis to predict the consequences of an AIFM1 variant identified by CES and demonstrate its pathogenicity.ResultsThe proband and his maternal uncle presented with childhood-onset nonprogressive cerebellar ataxia, hearing loss, intellectual disability (ID), peripheral neuropathy, and mood and behavioral disorder. The proband's mother had mild cerebellar ataxia, ID, and mood and behavior disorder, but no neuropathy or hearing loss. The 3 subjects shared a variant (c.1195G>A; p.Gly399Ser) in exon 12 of the AIFM1 gene, which is not reported in the exome/genome sequence databases, affecting a critical amino acid for protein function involved in NAD(H) binding and predicted to be pathogenic with very high probability by variant analysis programs. X chromosome inactivation was highly skewed in the proband's mother. The mutation did not cause quantitative changes in protein abundance.ConclusionsOur report extends the molecular and phenotypic spectrum of AIFM1 mutations. Specific findings include limited progression of neurologic abnormalities after the first decade and the coexistence of mood and behavior disorder. This family also shows the confounding effect on the phenotype of nongenetic factors, such as alcohol and drug use and side effects of medication.

Key Points Leukemic blasts of a female carrier of an ATRX germline mutation have persistently skewed inactivation of the X chromosome. Germline mutation in leukemia needs to be interpreted with caution because it is not always pathologic.
