We report three new cases with biallelic or monoallelic EFEMP1 variants and severe hernia phenotypes. Two male siblings of 10 and 13 years old presented with marfanoid habitus, recurrent inguinal and umbilical hernias, generalized joint hypermobility, and scoliosis. Parents and halfsiblings reported joint hypermobility and umbilical hernias. The eldest boy died at age 16 from incarcerated gastrointestinal herniation complicated by gastric and bowel necrosis with perforation. Autopsy revealed widespread intestinal diverticula. Immunohistochemistry of skin and fascia tissue did not reveal any abnormalities, including normal staining of elastic fibers. Both siblings harbored compound heterozygous likely pathogenic EFEMP1 variants (c.1320 + 2T > A, p.? and c.698G > A, p.Gly233Asp). An unrelated 58-year-old male had marfanoid features, high myopia, recurrent diaphragmatic and inguinal hernias, and chronic gastrointestinal dilatation with severe malabsorption. Both his dizygotic twin-brother and mother had recurrent hernias and high myopia. This man died at 59 years of age, and autopsy showed extensive diaphragmatic herniation, bowel diverticula, and pulmonary emphysema. A heterozygous EFEMP1 splice-variant (c.81 + 1G > A, p.?) was identified, causing exon skipping leading to a start-loss. Targeted genome reanalysis nor RNA-sequencing revealed a second variant at the other allele. The reported individuals expand the clinical and pathological phenotypes of EFEMP1-related disease, a distinct entity within the spectrum of HCTD.

Two main themes were identified: (1) Equity of access (including issues around eligibility criteria, laboratory analytical processes, awareness and education of clinicians, fear of litigation, geography, parental travel costs, and access to private healthcare), and (2) Timeliness and its impact on parental decision-making in pregnancy (in the context of the law around termination of pregnancy, decision-making in the absence of prenatal sequencing results, and the \"importance\" of prenatal sequencing results). Recognising both the practical and systemic ethical issues that arise out of delivering a national prenatal sequencing service is crucial.

TBDs are rare inherited syndromes associated with high risk of bone marrow failure, cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, and other severe, chronic complications. To identify gaps in clinical care, we aimed to ascertain the perceived unmet needs of adults and family caregivers, current or bereaved, of individuals with TBDs. Participants were aged ≥18 years with a self-reported TBD diagnosis and/or ever caregivers to one or more family members with a TBD. Participants completed an online survey (N = 35) and/or an audio-recorded telephone interview (N = 32). We calculated descriptive statistics in SPSS and thematically analyzed interview transcripts. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed concurrently. Most participants were aged ≥35 years, female, highly educated, and medically insured. Survey respondents reported numerous unmet needs in psychosocial, medical, financial, and daily activity domains. In interviews, participant descriptions validated and contextualized the salience of these unmet needs. Both qualitative and quantitative data identified critical shortfalls in addressing chronic family distress and specialty care coordination. Adults and caregivers of individuals with TBDs have a high risk of adverse psychosocial sequelae given extensive unmet needs. These findings provide a foundation for understanding the range and extent of gaps in care for families with rare diseases, especially TBDs but that are likely applicable to others.

PGT results were reviewed for 296 couples where a balanced and nonhomologous rob was present in one member of the couple. All embryos had day 5/6 trophectoderm biopsy and SNP-based PGT.

Male carriers had fewer blastocysts with monosomy (60/152, 39.5%) compared to female carriers (218/396, 55.1%) (P = 0.001). Twenty-one (1%) blastocysts showed 3:0 segregation; these were mostly double trisomies and derived from female carriers. Differences between chromosome complements for male versus female carriers suggest that selection against unbalanced forms may occur during spermatogenesis. Six blastocyst samples showed an unexpected (\"noncanonical\") combination of trisomy and monosomy. One case of uniparental disomy was identified. For female carriers, there was no association between unbalanced segregation and parental age but for male carriers, there was an inverse association.

However, in 40-60% of patients, a conclusive diagnosis remains elusive. In 2-5% of these individuals, ES does identify a disease-associated monoallelic variant in a recessive disorder. We hypothesized that short-read genome sequencing (GS) might uncover a pathogenic variant on the second allele, thereby increasing diagnostic yield. We performed GS for 174 individuals in whom ES identified a monoallelic pathogenic variant in a gene associated with recessive disease related to their phenotype. GS interpretation was limited to the (non-)coding parts of the gene in which this first pathogenic variant was identified, focusing on splice-disrupting variants. Firstly, we uncovered a second pathogenic variant affecting coding sequence in five individuals, including two SNV/indel variants, two copy number variants, and one insertion. Secondly, for 24 individuals, we identified a total of 31 rare non-coding intronic SNV/indel variants, all predicted to disrupt splicing. Using functional follow-up assays, we confirmed an effect on splicing for three of these variants (in ABCA4, POLR3A and COL4A4) in three individuals. In summary, we identified a (likely) pathogenic second variant in 4.6% (8/174), and a possible diagnosis for 12.1% (21/174) of our cohort.

While the clinical phenotype is relatively well-defined since the 70 s of the last centuries, much more need to be clarified about the genetic causes of this condition. In our previous paper we established clinical criteria to better identify PFE patients carrying PTH1R gene variants. We examined a new cohort of 32 patients, including one or more relatives for 7 patients (43 cases in total), referred to have PFE and recruited from our Hospital and from external outpatients. Sequencing analysis of the PTH1R coding sequence in this cohort of patients revealed 9 different variants, 4 exonic and 5 intronic. Through in silico prediction tools and databases, 3 of them (2 exonic and 1 in a splicing site) had been considered potentially involved in the PFE phenotype. Sequencing of cDNA was unsuccessfully attempted due to the low levels of PTH1R expression in the analysed tissues. The yield of the genetic test increases when the clinical selection of the patients with dental eruption failure is well-characterized. Dental eruption failure with pure clinical findings of PFE associated with familial history revealed variants in PTH1R gene, offering a diagnostic test for the family. Characterization of novel variants in the most relevant responsible gene of the PFE could bring to a more accurate diagnosis and therapeutic approach in the future and to a deeper comprehension of the disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":12016,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142344187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
