Though research has elucidated the consequences of some variants in this gene, it is still unclear whether many variants in the DNAH5 locus are benign or pathogenic due to the rarity of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD, of which Kartagener's syndrome is a subset). Here, we introduce the case of an infant boy presenting with the classical findings of PCD along with visceral heterotaxia and neonatal cholestasis. Genetic testing indicated that the patient is a compound heterozygote with a pathogenic c.8498G > A (known as pathogenic) on the maternally derived allele and two variants of uncertain significance, c.1206T > A and c.7800T > G, on the paternally derived allele. As PCD is autosomal recessive, we conclude that one, or both, of these paternally derived variants are pathogenic. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the clinical implications of c.1206T > A (p.Asn402Lys) and c.7800T > G (p.Ile2600Met) are documented. Furthermore, we use this case as an example to recommend clinicians to assess for PCD and laterality defects when presented with severe infantile cholestasis. While the association of cholestasis with PCD is relatively uncommon, PCD is a risk factor for increased prevalence of biliary atresia and infections, both of which are known causes of cholestasis in early infancy.","PeriodicalId":16695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric genetics","volume":"12 3","pages":"246-253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10421694/pdf/10-1055-s-0041-1733940.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9989407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date only a few cases have been reported in the literature, hence we reported this series. This study is a retrospective chart review of infants diagnosed with infantile systemic hyalinosis from January 2015 through December 2020 at a tertiary care children's hospital in South India. The mean age of presentation was 9.4 months, with a male to female ratio of 1:5. All children were born of consanguineous marriage except one child. All children had symptoms at birth, painful limb movements, multiple joint stiffness, gingival thickening, skin lesions around perianal, perioral areas, and frog-like position. Three (50%) children had stiff skin. Routine tests including complete blood count, liver function test, renal function test, creatine phosphokinase, nerve conduction studies, and metabolic tests were normal in all children. Skin biopsy showed hyalinized collagenous tissue in the dermis. Genetic study results of two cases revealed pathogenic variants in ANTXR2 gene. Infantile systemic hyalinosis should be considered in infants presenting with painful limb movements. The diagnosis helped in avoiding unnecessary investigations and prognostications. The genetic information from proband mutation helped in prenatal diagnosis in two families.","PeriodicalId":16695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric genetics","volume":"12 3","pages":"199-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10421683/pdf/10-1055-s-0041-1736558.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9998194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other multi-omics tools, such as RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), can be used in conjunction with WGS to functionally validate certain variants by detecting changes in gene expression and splicing.

WGS with RNA-Seq resulted in a definite diagnosis of an additional 25% of cases. Sixty percent of these solved cases arose from the identification of variants that were missed by WES.

Microdeletions involving the MN1 gene have been linked to syndromes including craniofacial anomalies, such as Toriello-Carey syndrome. Recently, truncating variants in the C-terminal portion of the MN1 transcriptional factor have been linked to a characteristic and distinct phenotype presenting with craniofacial anomalies and partial rhombencephalosynapsis, a rare brain malformation characterized by midline fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres with partial or complete loss of the cerebellar vermis. It has been called MN1 C-terminal truncation (MCTT) syndrome or CEBALID (Craniofacial defects, dysmorphic Ears, Brain Abnormalities, Language delay, and Intellectual Disability) and suggested to be caused by dominantly acting truncated protein MN1 instead of haploinsufficiency.
