Abstract
Closed spinal dysraphism (SD) is a type of neural tube defect originating during early embryonic development whereby the neural tissue of the spinal defect remains covered by skin, often coinciding with markers of cutaneous stigmata. It is hypothesized that these events are caused by multifactorial processes, including genetic and environmental causes. We present an infant with a unique congenital midline lesion associated with a closed SD. Through comprehensive molecular profiling of the intraspinal lesion and contiguous skin lesion, an internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the kinase domain of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene was found. This ITD variant is somatic mosaic in nature as supported by a diminished variant allele frequency in the lesional tissue and by its absence in peripheral blood. FGFR1 ITD results in constitutive activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase to promote cell growth, differentiation, and survival through RAS/MAPK signaling. Identification of FGFR1 ITD outside of central nervous system tumors is exceedingly rare, and this report broadens the phenotypic spectrum of somatic mosaic FGFR1-related disease.
期刊介绍：
Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, international journal in the field of precision medicine. Articles in the journal present genomic and molecular analyses of individuals or cohorts alongside their clinical presentations and phenotypic information. The journal''s purpose is to rapidly share insights into disease development and treatment gained by application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarker analysis, and other approaches. The journal covers the fields of cancer, complex diseases, monogenic disorders, neurological conditions, orphan diseases, infectious disease, gene therapy, and pharmacogenomics. It has a rapid peer-review process that is based on technical evaluation of the analyses performed, not the novelty of findings, and offers a swift, clear path to publication. The journal publishes: Research Reports presenting detailed case studies of individuals and small cohorts, Research Articles describing more extensive work using larger cohorts and/or functional analyses, Rapid Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant and/or novel phenotype associated with a known disease gene, Rapid Cancer Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant or combination of variants in a cancer type, Variant Discrepancy Resolution describing efforts to resolve differences or update variant interpretations in ClinVar through case-level data sharing, Follow-up Reports linked to previous observations, Plus Review Articles, Editorials, and Position Statements on best practices for research in precision medicine.
