We report on a boy with myoclonus-dystonia (M-D), language delay, and malformative anomalies. Genetic investigations allowed
the identification of an apparently balanced de novo reciprocal translocation, t(7;9)(q21;p23). Breakpoint-region mapping
using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone probes identified microdeletions
of 3.7 and 5.2 Mb within 7q21 and 9p23 breakpoint regions, respectively. Genotyping with microsatellite markers showed that
deletions originated from paternal alleles. The deleted region on chromosome 7q21 includes a large imprinted gene cluster.
SGCE and PEG10 are two maternally imprinted genes. SGCE mutations are implicated in M-D. In our case, M-D is due to deletion of the paternal allele of the SGCE gene. PEG10 is strongly expressed in the placenta and is essential for embryo development. Prenatal growth retardation identified in
the patient may be due to deletion of the paternal allele of the PEG10 gene. Other genes in the deleted region on chromosome 7 are not imprinted. Nevertheless, a phenotype can be due to haploinsufficiency
of these genes. KRIT1 is implicated in familial forms of cerebral cavernous malformations, and COL1A2 may be implicated in very mild forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. The deleted region on chromosome 9 overlaps with the candidate
region for monosomy 9p syndrome. The proband shows dysmorphic features compatible with monosomy 9p syndrome, without mental
impairment. These results emphasize that the phenotypic abnormalities of apparently balanced de novo translocations can be
due to cryptic deletions and that the precise mapping of these aneusomies may improve clinical management. 相似文献

Folate supplementation reduces the incidence of congenital heart defects, but the nature of this protective mechanism remains unclear. Immunolabeling demonstrated that the neural tube and neural crest (NC) cells were rich in the high‐affinity folate receptor FOLR1and during the early stages of development FOLR1 was found principally in these cells. Suppression of Folr1 expression in the nascent cardiac NC by site‐directed short‐interfering RNA (siRNA) altered cardiac NC cell mitosis and subsequent migration patterns leading to abnormal development of the pharyngeal arch arteries (PAA) and outflow tract. qPCR analysis demonstrated that the siRNA treatment significantly reduced Folr1 24 hr after treatment. These treatments also significantly reduced mitosis in the neural tube, but adjacent, nontreated areas were unaffected. In summary, a brief reduction in the expression of Folr1 during a critical stage of NC development had long‐term consequences for the development of the PAA and outflow tract.

Hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is a rare condition inherited as autosomal dominant trait and characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal dysplasia. HDR syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency of the GATA3 gene located on chromosome 10p15. Here, we report the case of a 32-day-old Korean male with HDR syndrome. He was presented due to repeated seizures over previous 3 days. The patient was born after 40 weeks of gestation with birth weight of 2930 g, and was the first-born baby of healthy Korean parents. Hypoparathyroidism was first noticed due to seizure. A multicystic left dysplastic kidney and vesicoureteral reflux were detected by ultrasound after birth. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing revealed that the patient had moderate sensorineural deafness, with hearing losses of 80 dB at the mid and higher frequencies for both ears. Echocardiography finding revealed secundum atrial septal deftect. Based on biochemical results and clinical findings, a presumptive diagnosis of HDR syndrome was made. GATA3 mutation analysis identified a heterozygous deletion, c.153del (p.Phe51Leufs*144) in exon 1 causing a frameshift mutation, which is a novel de novo mutation. Therefore, we suggest that HDR syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients with hypoparathyroidism, and that renal ultrasound or ABR testing be performed to prevent a missed diagnosis. This is the first report on Korean patient with confirmed HDR syndrome with novel mutation. 相似文献

Mutations in the myosin XVA gene (MYO15A) cause congenital non-syndromic deafness in humans and mice. Therefore, the MYO15A gene represents a candidate gene for hereditary hearing loss in dogs. Using a human cDNA to screen a dog BAC library, we
isolated a canine BAC clone. Sequencing of the BAC ends confirmed homology to the human gene. To facilitate future linkage
studies, we report the physical mapping of the canine MYO15A gene to CFA5q23-q24 by FISH and RH mapping.

Sotos syndrome (MIM #117550) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by pre and postnatal overgrowth, macrocephaly and typical facial gestalt with frontal bossing, hypertelorism, antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures, prominent jaw and high and narrow palate. This syndrome is also frequently associated with brain, cardiovascular, and urinary anomalies and is occasionally accompanied by malignant lesions such as Wilms tumour and hepatocarcinoma. The syndrome is known to be caused by mutations or deletions of the NSD1 gene.To detect both 5q35 microdeletions and partial NSD1 gene deletions we screened 30 Brazilian patients with clinical diagnosis of Sotos syndrome by multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification.We identified one patient with a total deletion of NSD1 and neighbouring FGFR4, other with missing NSD1 exons 13-14 and another with a deletion involving FGFR4 and spanning up to NSD1 exon 17. All deletions were de novo. The two NSD1 partial deletions have not been previously reported.The clinical features of the three patients included a typical facial gestalt with frontal bossing, prominent jaw and high anterior hairline; macrocephaly, dolichocephaly, large hands; neonatal hypotonia and jaundice. All presented normal growth at birth but postnatal overgrowth. Two patients with NSD1 and FGFR4 gene deletions presented congenital heart anomalies. 相似文献

Cerebral folate deficiency is characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and a broad spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms. A patient with progressive spasticity, gait disturbance, speech difficulties, initially diagnosed as a recessive spastic paraplegia recovered on folinic acid (15-30 mg/day) and her 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in CSF normalized. This report demonstrates the importance of CSF investigation in the diagnosis of cerebral folate deficiency and efficiency of folinic acid (5-formyltetrahydrofolate) supplementation. 相似文献

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common developmental defect affecting the forebrain and midface in humans. The aetiology of HPE is highly heterogeneous and includes both environmental and genetic factors. Here we report on a boy with mild mental retardation, lobar HPE, epilepsy, mild pyramidal syndrome of the legs, ventricular septal defect, vesicoureteral reflux, preaxial polydactyly, and facial dysmorphisms. Genome-wide tiling path resolution array based comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH) revealed a de novo copy-number gain at 5q35.1 of 1.24 Mb. Additional multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification screening of a cohort of 31 patients with HPE for copy-number changes at the 5q35.1 locus did not reveal any additional genomic anomalies. This report defines a novel 1.24 Mb critical interval for HPE and preaxial polydactyly at 5q35.1. The duplicated region encompasses seven genes: RANBP17, TLX3, NPM1, FGF18, FBXW11, STK10, and DC-UbP. Since FBXW11 is relatively highly expressed in fetal brain and is directly involved in proteolytic processing of GLI3, we propose FBXW11 as the most likely candidate gene for the HPE and prexial polydactyly phenotype. Additional research is needed to further establish the role of genes from the 5q35.1 region in brain and limb development and to determine the prevalence of copy number gain in the 5q35.1 region among HPE patients.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available to authorised users in the online version of this article at . 相似文献

Molecular genetic studies in a seven‐year‐old boy and his mother demonstrated a novel 11 bp deletion in the TWIST gene (127del11), causing Saethre‐Chotzen syndrome. The mother had rather mild signs of the Saethre‐Chotzen syndrome; however, her son presented with marked acrocephalosyndactyly type 3, leading to craniotomy at three years. He also had recurrent infections and laboratory findings comparable with the hyper IgE syndrome, a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder. It is likely that the 11bp deletion caused the Saethre‐Chotzen syndrome in the patient and his mother, and another, not yet identified genetic defect, seen in the patient but not in the mother, is responsible for the hyper IgE phenotype. A combination of these two congenital conditions has not been described to date. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We report the case of a 12 year-old boy with oto-palato-digital syndrome type II (OPD II). He had various anomalies at birth,
including bilateral cataracts, bilateral glaucoma, bilateral severe hearing impairment, congenital heart defect, umbilical
herniation, bowed extremities and constrictions of various joints. These clinical features and whole body X-ray findings were
compatible with OPD II. However, his ocular disorders such as congenital cataract and glaucoma, and congenital heart defect
have never been associated with OPD II as far as we know. His chromosomal analysis revealed normal karyotype, 46,XY. Analysis
of the filamin A gene using a standard PCR-direct sequencing method determined a C586T (Arg196Trp) missense mutation in exon
3. Interestingly, the same C586T mutation was reported previously in a patient with OPD I (mild form). Thus, phenotype–genotype
correlation of OPD is lacking in those patients. Further clinical and genetic studies are needed to clarify the relationship
between phenotypes and genotypes, or to identify other factor(s) that influence the clinical features of this syndrome. 相似文献

In a South African girl of Xhosa stock with severe piebaldism and profound congenital sensorineural deafness we identified a novel missense substitution at a highly conserved residue in the intracellular kinase domain of the KIT proto-oncogene, R796G. Though auditory anomalies have been observed in mice with dominant white spotting (W) due to KIT mutations, deafness is not typical in human piebaldism. Thus, the occurrence of sensorineural deafness in this patient extends considerably the phenotypic range of piebaldism due to KIT gene mutation in humans and tightens the clinical similarity between piebaldism and the various forms of Waardenburg syndrome.

Mutation of the ATRX gene leads to X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation (ATR-X) syndrome and several other X-linked mental retardation syndromes. We report the first case of ATR-X syndrome documented here in Korea. A 32-month-old boy came in with irritability and fever. He showed dysmorphic features, mental retardation and epilepsy, so ATR-X syndrome was considered. Hemoglobin H inclusions in red blood cells supported the diagnosis and genetic studies confirmed it. Mutation analysis for our patient showed a point mutation of thymine to cytosine on the 9th exon in the ATRX gene, indicating that Trp(C), the 220th amino acid, was replaced by Ser(R). Furthermore, we investigated the same mutation in family members, and his mother and two sisters were found to be carriers. 相似文献

Patients with Tietz syndrome have congenital profound deafness and generalised hypopigmentation, inherited in a fully penetrant autosomal dominant fashion. The pigmentary features and complete penetrance make this syndrome distinct among syndromes with pigmentary anomalies and deafness, which characteristically have patchy depigmentation and variable penetrance. Only one family has been reported with the exact features described in the original report of this syndrome. This family was reascertained and a missense mutation was found in the basic region of the MITF gene in family members with Tietz syndrome. Mutations in other regions of this gene have been found to produce Waardenburg syndrome type 2 (WS2), which also includes pigmentary changes and hearing loss, but in contrast to Tietz syndrome, depigmentation is patchy and hearing loss is variable in WS2.

Hearing impairment is frequently found associated with pigmentary disorders in many syndromes. However, total oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) associated with deafness has been described only once, by Ziprkowski and Adam (Arch Dermatol 89:151–155, 1964) in an inbred family. A syndrome associating deafness and OCA was suggested by the authors, but two separate recessive genes segregating in this inbred group were also proposed later by Fraser (OMIM # 220900). Combined deafness and total OCA were also observed by us in a family originally reported to be nonconsanguineous but in which haplotyping showed evidence of a common ancestry: the proband was affected by both diseases, one of his sisters had only OCA and another sister had only deafness. Both the proband and his deaf sister were found to be homozygotes for the 35delG mutation (GJB2 gene), the most frequent cause of hereditary deafness. Linkage analysis with markers close to the four known OCA loci excluded linkage to OCA1, OCA2, and OCA3, and homozygosity in markers near OCA4 locus was observed. Sequencing of the corresponding gene (MATP) revealed a c.1121delT mutation, which leads to a stop codon at position 397 (L374fsX397). Clearly, the combined occurrence of deafness and albinism in this pedigree was due to mutations in two different genes, showing autosomal recessive inheritance. We speculate that the putative syndrome reported by Ziprkowski and Adam might have resulted from the co-occurrence of autosomal recessive deafness and albinism in the same pedigree, as suggested by Fraser. 相似文献

Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) syndrome (OMIM 148210) is a congenital ectodermal defect. KID consists of an atypical ichthyosiform erythroderma associated with congenital sensorineural deafness. A rare form of the KID syndrome is a fatal course in the first year of life due to severe skin lesion infections and septicaemia. KID appears to be genetically heterogeneous and may be caused by mutations in connexin 26 or connexin 30 genes. GJB2 mutations in the connexin 26 gene are the main cause of the disease. Most of the cases caused by GJB2 mutations are sporadic, but dominant transmission has also been described. To date, the rare lethal form of the disease has been only observed in two Caucasian sporadic patients with the GJB2 mutation, with the p.Gly45Glu (G45E) arising de novo. We have reported an African family with dizygotic twins suffering from a lethal form of KID. The dizygosity of the twins was confirmed by microsatellite markers. The two patients were heterozygous for the G45E mutation of GJB2, whereas the mutation was not detected in the two parents. The unusual transmission of the disease observed in this family could be explained by the occurrence of a somatic or more probably a germinal mosaic in one of the parents. 相似文献

Background
Cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) is increasingly recognized in various neurological conditions, raising the question of whether it might represent a clear-cut clinical syndrome.Methods
Retrospective analysis of patients with low cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) values was performed.Results
58 pediatric patients with low (-2nd to -3rd standard deviation) and 45 patients with very low 5MTHF values (< 3rd standard deviation) were identified, including 22 patients with defined underlying neurological conditions. The leading symptoms were mental retardation (n = 84), motor retardation (n = 75), epilepsy (n = 53), ataxia (n = 44) and pyramidal tract signs (n = 37). There was no relationship between 5MTHF levels and the severity of clinical disease, the duration of clinical disease, distinct neurological symptoms and antiepileptic drug treatment, respectively. Genetical analysis for mutations in the folate receptor 1 gene proved normal in all 16 children studied.Conclusions
For the majority of patients CFD is not a clear-cut neurometabolic syndrome but the common result of different genetic, metabolic or unknown processes. Nevertheless, CFD may represent a treatable disease-modifying factor which should therefore be addressed in prospective studies. 相似文献16.

LEOPARD syndrome (lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonary stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retardation of growth, and sensorineural deafness) is an autosomal dominant condition. The main clinical features include multiple lentigines, cardiovascular defects, and facial anomalies, some of which are shared with Noonan syndrome (NS). Recent reports have shown that LEOPARD syndrome can be caused by mutations in PTPN11, the gene in which mutations can produce NS. Here we report the findings of mutation screening and linkage analysis of PTPN11 in three families with LEOPARD syndrome. We identified a novel mutation in one family. The mutation (1529A>C) substitutes proline for glutamine at amino acid 510 (Gln510Pro). No variations in sequence were observed in the other two families, and negative LOD scores excluded linkage to the PTPN11 locus, showing that LEOPARD syndrome is genetically heterogeneous. 相似文献

Although over 200 pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been reported to date, determining the genetic aetiology of many cases of mitochondrial disease is still not straightforward. Here, we describe the investigations undertaken to uncover the underlying molecular defect(s) in two unrelated Caucasian patients with suspected mtDNA disease, who presented with similar symptoms of myopathy, deafness, neurodevelopmental delay, epilepsy, marked fatigue and, in one case, retinal degeneration. Histochemical and biochemical evidence of mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency was observed in the patient muscle biopsies and both patients were discovered to harbour a novel heteroplasmic mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA)(Ser(AGY)) (MTTS2) mutation (m.12264C>T and m.12261T>C, respectively). Clear segregation of the m.12261T>C mutation with the biochemical defect, as demonstrated by single-fibre radioactive RFLP, confirmed the pathogenicity of this novel variant in patient 2. However, unusually high levels of m.12264C>T mutation within both COX-positive (98.4 ± 1.5%) and COX-deficient (98.2 ± 2.1%) fibres in patient 1 necessitated further functional investigations to prove its pathogenicity. Northern blot analysis demonstrated the detrimental effect of the m.12264C>T mutation on mt-tRNA(Ser(AGY)) stability, ultimately resulting in decreased steady-state levels of fully assembled complexes I and IV, as shown by blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Our findings expand the spectrum of pathogenic mutations associated with the MTTS2 gene and highlight MTTS2 mutations as an important cause of retinal and syndromic auditory impairment. 相似文献

It has been suggested that alveolar and interstitial macrophages play a key role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by producing proinflammatory and/or fibrogenic cytokines. We showed that inflammatory macrophages expressed folate receptor β (FRβ) while resident macrophages in normal tissues expressed no or low levels of FRβ. In the present study, we examined the distribution of FRβ‐expressing macrophages in the lungs of patients with usual idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (UIP) and mice with bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and tested whether the depletion of FRβ‐expressing macrophages could suppress bleomycin‐induced PF in mice. Immunostaining with anti‐human or ‐mouse FRβ monoclonal antibody (mAb) revealed that FRβ‐expressing macrophages were present predominantly in fibrotic areas of the lungs of patients with UIP and mice with bleomycin‐induced PF. Intranasal administration of a recombinant immunotoxin, consisting of immunoglobulin heavy and light chain Fv portions of an anti‐mouse FRβ mAb and truncated Pseudomonas exotoxin A, increased survival significantly and reduced levels of total hydroxyproline and fibrosis in bleomycin‐induced PF. In immunohistochemical analysis, decreased numbers of tumour necrosis factor‐α‐, chemokines CCL2‐ and CCL12‐producing cells were observed in the immunotoxin‐treated group. These findings suggest a pathogenic role of FRβ‐expressing macrophages in IPF. Thus, targeting FRβ‐expressing macrophages may be a promising treatment of IPF. 相似文献

Metabolic breakdown of valproate (VPA), carbamazepine (CBZ) and phenytoin (PHT) by the cytochrome P450 pathway generates toxic drug intermediates and reactive oxygen species (ROS). This mechanism has been suspected to play a role in the pathogenesis of secondary cerebral folate deficiency (CFD). Using KB-cell cultures, highly expressing the folate receptor 1 (FOLR1), the effect of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the FOLR1 dependent 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) uptake was studied. MTHF uptake is time and concentration dependent and shows saturation kinetics. At physiological MTHF concentrations the high-affinity FOLR1 represents the predominant mechanism for cellular incorporation, while at high MTHF concentrations other transport mechanisms participate in folate uptake. Exposure to PHT for more than 8 h led to a higher MTHF uptake and decreased cell count, whereas MTHF uptake remained unaltered by VPA and CBZ. However, exposure to superoxide and hydrogen peroxide radicals significantly decreased cellular MTHF uptake. By specific elimination and downregulation of FOLR1 using phosphatidyl-inositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) and siRNA silencing, it was shown that ROS not only inhibited FOLR1 mediated MTHF uptake but also affected all other mechanisms of membrane-mediated MTHF uptake. Generation of ROS with the use of AED might therefore provide an additional explanation for the disturbed folate transfer across the blood–CSF barrier in patients with CFD. 相似文献

Homozygous FGF3 mutations result in congenital deafness with inner ear agenesis, microtia, and microdontia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Homozygous mutations in the fibroblast growth factor 3 ( FGF3 ) gene have recently been discovered in an autosomal recessive form of syndromic deafness characterized by complete labyrinthine aplasia (Michel aplasia), microtia, and microdontia (OMIM 610706 – LAMM). In order to better characterize the phenotypic spectrum associated with FGF3 mutations, we sequenced the FGF3 gene in 10 unrelated families in which probands had congenital deafness associated with various inner ear anomalies, including Michel aplasia, with or without tooth or external ear anomalies. FGF3 sequence changes were not found in eight unrelated probands with isolated inner ear anomalies or with a cochlear malformation along with auricle and tooth anomalies. We identified two new homozygous FGF3 mutations, p.Leu6Pro (c.17T>C) and p. Ile85MetfsX15 (c.254delT), in four subjects from two unrelated families with LAMM. The p.Leu6Pro mutation occurred within the signal site of FGF3 and is predicted to impair its secretion. The c.254delT mutation results in truncation of FGF3. Both mutations completely co-segregated with the phenotype, and heterozygotes did not have any of the phenotypic findings of LAMM. Some affected children had large skin tags on the upper side of the auricles, which is a distinctive clinical component of the syndrome. Enlarged collateral emissary veins associated with stenosis of the jugular foramen were noted on computerized tomographies of most affected subjects with FGF3 mutations. However, similar venous anomalies were also detected in persons with non-syndromic Michel aplasia, suggesting that a direct causative role of impaired FGF3 signaling is unlikely. 相似文献
