AbstractAblepharon macrostomia syndrome (AMS) is a rare congenital disorder. To our knowledge, only 20 cases have been reported to date, and all in patients from Western countries. We report a case of AMS in a Thai patient, who presented at age 3 months with severe ectropion of both upper and lower eyelids, alopecia totalis, no palpable clitoris, and hypoplasia of both labia minora and labia majora. Trio whole exome sequencing analysis was performed, which revealed a heterozygous missense c.223G>A (p.Glu75Lys) variation in TWIST2. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of AMS in a patient from Thailand and the first reported case of AMS in Asia.

AbstractEarly infantile epileptic encephalopathy-64 (EIEE 64), also called RHOBTB2-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), is caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants (EIEE 64; MIM#618004) in the Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2 (RHOBTB2) gene. To date, only 13 cases with RHOBTB2-related DEE have been reported. We add to the literature the 14th case of EIEE 64, identified by whole exome sequencing, caused by a heterozygous pathogenic variant in RHOBTB2 (c.1531C > T), p.Arg511Trp. This additional case supports the main features of RHOBTB2-related DEE: infantile-onset seizures, severe intellectual disability, impaired motor functions, postnatal microcephaly, recurrent status epilepticus, and hemiparesis after seizures.

The search for the new hereditary mutations and a precise molecular genetic diagnosis that determines the causative mutation in each specific case of hereditary breast cancer (BC) is a clinically important task since it helps to define the personal therapeutic approach and increase the effectiveness of preventive measures. Using whole-exome sequencing (WES) we analyzed the full spectrum of hereditary variations in 49 Russian patients with clinical signs of a hereditary disease which allowed us to compile a list of 229 candidate probably pathogenic germ-line variants. Then, the selected candidate mutations were validated by Sanger sequencing and molecular-epidemiological studies, the predisposing roles of three oncologically relevant mutations (USP39 c.*208G>C, SLIT3 p.Arg154Cys, and CREB3 p.Lys157Glu) were confirmed. Our candidate genes are first mentioned in connection with the hereditary risk of BC. The final proofs of the causative roles of these variants could be obtained through functional tests as well as via the analysis of the mutations segregation in BC families.
