Limited research exists on the genetics of foot arch geometry. This systematic review aims to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to foot arch morphology. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024537877). PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for studies on SNPs related to foot arch morphology published up to December 2023. Nineteen eligible studies (2006-2020) identified 137 SNPs across conditions affecting connective tissue (12 studies, e.g., Marfan Syndrome), nerves (six studies, e.g., Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease), and muscles (one study, e.g., Distal Arthrogryposis Syndromes). While no studies directly linked SNPs to foot arch morphology, three explored SNPs in genetic diseases associated with foot arch variations. Pes planus was linked to connective tissue disorders, and pes cavus to neuropathies and myopathies. Only two replicated SNPs were found. This review found no direct studies of SNPs influencing foot arch morphology, highlighting a significant research gap. Future research should examine SNPs in larger cohorts to differentiate natural variations from pathology-driven deformities. To enhance reproducibility, standardized methodologies, and a unified genetic database (including phenotypic data on common traits) should be developed.","PeriodicalId":10354,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More recently, biallelic CSTB variants were described in four patients with a neonatal onset phenotype of microcephaly, diffuse hypomyelination, brain atrophic changes, and dyskinesia. Herein, we describe the clinical and molecular characterization of five additional patients in whom exome sequencing detected a splice variant (c.67-1G>C) in Family I and II and a missense variant (c.10G>C, p.Gly4Arg) in Family III and IV. Interestingly, these variants were described before in patients with EPM1A. However, all our patients had progressive microcephaly, developmental delay, and dyskinesia. In addition, only one patient developed seizures. Brain imaging showed mainly diffuse hypomyelination and progressive cerebral and cerebellar atrophy of variable severity. Interestingly, one patient showed intracranial calcification and another showed congenital distal arthrogryposis. Our findings support the association between CSTB variants and the neonatal form as a distinct neurodevelopmental phenotype. This newly characterized neonatal onset of the CSTB shares many overlapping features with genetic disorders encompassing microcephaly and hypomyelination.","PeriodicalId":10354,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterozygous pathogenic variants in DNM1 result in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy type 31A, where patients exhibit early onset refractory epilepsy, severe-profound intellectual disability and poor visual behaviour. We present data demonstrating that this disorder progressively affects retinal synaptic function which, to our knowledge, is the first report of this phenotype in human. Clinical notes of the proband were reviewed incorporating ophthalmic phenotyping (imaging, electroretinography (ERG), pattern visual evoked potentials (PVEPs) and visual symptoms). Genetic testing was performed using trio whole genome sequencing. Genetic testing confirmed a de-novo pathogenic variant in DNM1, a recurrent heterozygous missense variant, c.709C > T;p.(Arg237Trp). Serial ERG testing at 1, 3, 9 and 12 years old indicated a progressive inner retinal dysfunction affecting both rod and cone synaptic pathways mirroring the abnormalities in the mouse model of dnm1, with normal retinal structure. DNM1 affects retinal synaptic recycling and endocytosis and our findings show likely usefulness of ERG testing in affected individuals. Further work is needed to expand our understanding of how different DNM1 variants affect retinal function.","PeriodicalId":10354,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143381758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While several genes/loci associated with epilepsy have been identified through candidate and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), exploration of population-specific markers remains underexplored. We conducted the first GWAS in north Indian population (~1500 samples) to identify genetic variants/loci associated with epilepsy risk, validated using targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). Our GWAS revealed 30 variants across seven loci associated with epilepsy risk, including six novel loci. Subtype analysis based on etiology and seizure types, identified 57 variants across 11 loci, 10 of which are novel. Gene-set analysis unveiled enrichment in genes associated with glutathione synthesis and recycling and regulation of dopaminergic neuron differentiation pivotal in epilepsy pathophysiology. Furthermore, PRS analysis revealed a significant genetic contribution to the epilepsy with an R2 of 0.00573. Additionally, targeted NGS showed ~95% concordance with GSA genotypes. Our study highlights six novel loci rs17031055/4q31.3(DCHS2), rs73182224/3q27.2(DGKG), rs9322462/6q25.2(CNKSR3), rs75328617/8q24.23(RNU1-35P), rs2938010/10q26.13(CTBP2) and rs11652575/17p11.2(SLC5A10) associated with epilepsy risk.

Previous reports have demonstrated the causal role of biallelic pathogenic variants in the Subcortical Maternal Complex (SCMC) genes in female reproductive failure with some leading to infertility, early embryonic loss, and molar pregnancies, while others are compatible with live birth with and without multilocus imprinting disorders (MLID). Here, we report two deleterious protein-truncating variants, c.1326delG, p.Leu443Phefs*78 and c.2802_2803del, p.Arg935Metfs*15, in heterozygous state in the NLRP2 gene of a patient with primary infertility, four early miscarriages, and one failed attempt of intracytoplasmic sperm injection. We show that the two variants mediate mRNA decay in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells from the patient, lead to decreased NLRP2 protein levels, and alter NLRP2 interactions with other members of the SCMC in vitro. This study emphasizes the importance of performing clinical exomes for patients with recurrent reproductive failure and reporting their variants and reproductive histories to improve patient counseling.","PeriodicalId":10354,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
