Behavioral Skills

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Behavioral Skills Training (BST) program in improving personal safety skills for a Down syndrome adolescent with mild intellectual disability. Personal safety is defined as an ability to recognize touch appropriateness, including four self-protective skills, consisting of resisting, removing, telling others, and reporting about any inappropriate touch she/he experiences. The single-subject design was administered in three days. The results show that the program was effective to improved subject’s personal safety skills and reached 97 % of the maximum score. The subject was able to master the skills of recognizing, resisting, removing and telling others with 100% score, while on the reporting skill, the obtained score was 83%.  Rerunning the program, specifically with reporting skill as the target, has been recommended to improve reporting skill. Overall, to improve the effectiveness of the program, in situ training, training for trainers, and providing reinforcements are suggested.

AbstractWitteveen-Kolk syndrome (OMIM 613406) is a recently defined neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in SIN3A. We define the clinical and neurodevelopmental phenotypes related to SIN3A-haploinsufficiency in 28 unreported patients. Patients with SIN3A variants adversely affecting protein function have mild intellectual disability, growth and feeding difficulties. Involvement of a multidisciplinary team including a geneticist, paediatrician and neurologist should be considered in managing these patients. Patients described here were identified through a combination of clinical evaluation and gene matching strategies (GeneMatcher and Decipher). All patients consented to participate in this study. Mean age of this cohort was 8.2 years (17 males, 11 females). Out of 16 patients ≥ 8 years old assessed, eight (50%) had mild intellectual disability (ID), four had moderate ID (22%), and one had severe ID (6%). Four (25%) did not have any cognitive impairment. Other neurological symptoms such as seizures (4/28) and hypotonia (12/28) were common. Behaviour problems were reported in a minority. In patients ≥2 years, three were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and four with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We report 27 novel variants and one previously reported variant. 24 were truncating variants; three were missense variants and one large in-frame gain including exons 10–12.

Original Cohort

We describe the seizure phenotype of a 26 year old lady who presented with a probable photic-induced convulsion on a background of mild intellectual disability, facial dysmorphia, fused cervical vertebrae and ventricular septal defect. There was no prior history of seizures.Routine EEG was polyrhythmic with a prominent photoparoxysmal response at 14 Hz and 40 Hz. CT head was normal. A SNP array demonstrated a rare 51 kb deletion at 12 p12.1 which disrupts the SOX5 gene.SOX5 is a developmentally important gene encoding a transcription factor that plays a role in multiple developmental pathways including of the nervous system. Loss of function of this gene is associated with Lamb-Shaffer syndrome, first characterised in 2012 with global developmental delay, intellectual disability, mild dysmorphic facies, language impairment and variable skeletal abnormalities.3 of the original cohort of 16 patients described experienced seizures and the nature of their epilepsy was not further defined. Only a further 7 cases have been reported to date, none of whom experienced seizures. Our case helps to broaden the phenotype of Lamb-Shaffer syndrome, highlights the importance of looking for copy number variation and poses questions regarding the neurobiology of photo-sensitivity.
