Kidney impairment has been documented in a minority of COXPD21 patients, mostly with distal renal tubular acidosis.Case report: We report on the first COXPD21 patient with generalized tubular dysfunction and early childhood progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Thorough diagnostic evaluation was initiated at six months of age due to failure to thrive, muscular hypotonia, motor delay and recurrent bronchiolitis. The boy was lost to follow-up until the age of two years, when he was readmitted with elevated creatinine level, reduced estimated glomerular filtrate rate, normochromic anaemia, metabolic acidosis and hyperkalaemia. Urine abnormalities pointed to generalized tubular dysfunction. Two novel heterozygous missense variants in TARS2 gene were detected by the means of whole exome sequencing: c.1298T>G (p.Phe438Cys) of maternal origin and c.1931A>T (p.Asp644Val) of paternal origin. Currently, at 4.5 years of age, the boy has failure to thrive, severe motor and verbal delay and end stage of CKD. We referred the patient to paediatric centre that provides renal replacement therapy.Conclusion: The overall clinical course in the patient we report on corresponds well to the previously reported cases of TARS2 related COXPD21, especially in regard to neurological and developmental aspects of the disease. However, we point out the generalized tubulopathy and early occurrence of CKD in our patient as atypical renal involvement in COXPD21.

Approximately 450 patients have been diagnosed worldwide with this inherited neurotransmitter disorder. We report on a five-year-old male patient, homozygous for the pathogenic variant (NM_170740:c.1265G>A) in ALDH5A1 presenting with an unexpected association of typical SSADH deficiency manifestations with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) testing showed mid-frequency sensorineural hearing damage that suggested a hereditary component to SNHL. Whole exome sequencing (WES) failed to discern other genetic causes of deafness. Several variants of uncertain significance (VUS) detected in genes known for their role in hearing physiology could not be verified as the cause for the SNHL. It is known that central auditory processing depends on a delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, and GABA is known to play a significant role in this process. Additionally, excessive concentrations of accumulated GABA and GBH are known to cause a down-regulation of GABA receptors, which could have an adverse influence on hearing function. However, these mechanisms are very speculative in context of SNHL in a patient with inherited disorder of GABA metabolism. Injury of the globi pallidi, one of hallmarks of SSADH deficiency, could also be a contributory factor to SNHL, as was suspected in some other inborn errors in metabolism. We hope that this case will contribute to the understanding of phenotypic complexity of SSADH deficiency.","PeriodicalId":55403,"journal":{"name":"Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/df/bc/bjmg-26-1-bjmg-2023-0008.PMC10413887.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10002042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But few studies have investigated the role of lncRNAs in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Thus, this study aimed to compare the expression profile of circulating lncRNAs between RDS infants and controls.Methods: 10 RDS infants and 5 controls were enrolled. RDS patients were further divided into mild and severe RDS subgroups. Blood samples were collected for the lncRNA expression profile. Subsequently, differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened out. Bioinformatics analysis was applied to establish a co-expression network of differential lncRNAs and mRNAs, and predict the underlying biological functions.Results: A total of 135 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified, including 108 upregulated and 27 downregulated lncRNAs (fold-change>2 and P<0.05) among the three groups (non-RDS, mild RDS and severe RDS groups). Of these lncRNAs, four were selected as showing higher fold changes and validated by qRT-PCR.

Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses showed that differentially expressed lncRNAs may play important roles in RDS through regulating PI3KAkt, RAS, MAPK, and TGF-β signaling pathways.Conclusion: The present results found that ENST00000470527.1, ENST00000504497.1, ENST00000417781.5, and ENST00000440408.5 may be invol ved in RDS.

Despite advancements in molecular diagnostics, disorders of sexual development (DSD) have a diagnostic rate of ~50%. Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) represents the most common form of 46,XY DSD, with a spectrum of defects in androgen action. Considering the importance of very strict regulation of the SD, it is reasonable to assume that the genetic cause for proportion of the DSD lies in the non-coding part of the genome that regulates proper gene functioning. Here we present a patient with partial AIS (PAIS) due to a mosaic de novo c.-547C>T pathogenic variant in the 5'UTR of androgen receptor (AR) gene. The same mutation was previously described as inherited, in two unrelated patients with complete AIS (CAIS). Thus, our case further confirms the previous findings that variable gene expressivity could be attributed to mosaicism. Mutations in 5'UTR could create new upstream open reading frames (uORFs) or could disrupt the existing one. A recent systematic genome-wide study identified AR as a member of a subset of genes where modifications of uORFs represents an important disease mechanism. Only a small number of studies are reporting non-coding mutations in the AR gene and our case emphasizes the importance of molecular testing of the entire AR locus in AIS patients. The introduction of new methods for comprehensive molecular testing in routine genetic diagnosis, accompanied with new tools for in sillico analysis could improve the genetic diagnosis of AIS, and DSD in general.","PeriodicalId":55403,"journal":{"name":"Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/b8/ec/bjmg-26-1-bjmg-2023-0012.PMC10413879.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10002040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ACE ID, eNOS 4a/b, ATR1 A1166C, OXTR (A>G), SOD1 +35A/C, CAT-21A/T gene polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR or PCR-RFLP techniques. T2DM was diagnosed at an earlier age compared to MetS (54 vs 55 years old, p=0.0003) and the difference was greater in carriers of the OXTR G allele (54 vs 56 years old, p=0.0002) or both OXTR G and eNOS b alleles (54 vs 56, p=0.00016). The SOD1 AA genotype (O.R.=0.11, p=0.0006) and the presence of both ACE I and OXTR1 A (O.R.=0.39, p=0.0005) alleles revealed to be protective for T2DM. SOD1 AA and AC genotypes were protective factors for triglyceride (p=0.0002 and p=0.0005, respectively) and HDL cholesterol (p=0.0002 and p=0.0004, respectively) levels in T2DM patients. ACE DD was identified more frequently in hypertensive T2DM patients (O.R.=3.77, p=0.0005) and in those who reported drinking alcohol (p=0.0001) comparing to HC and T2DM patients who did not drink alcohol, respectively. We observed that T2DM patients who reported drinking alcohol had an increased frequency of ACE DD and eNOS bb (p<0.0001), or ACE DD and OXTR G (p<0.0001) compared to non-drinkers. No gene polymorphisms were associated with MetS.","PeriodicalId":55403,"journal":{"name":"Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/16/8b/bjmg-26-1-bjmg-2023-0003.PMC10413885.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10371932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
