The presence of a derivative chromosome X (derX), where a Yq11-qter segment is attached to the short arm of chromosome X, replacing a terminal Xpter-p22.31, poses challenges for interpretation of findings by prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening, establishing genotype-phenotype correlation in male and female individuals, and for genetic counseling. In this report, we provide clinical outcomes, inheritance, and clinical implications of derX in three families referred to diagnostic testing due to discrepant results for sex chromosomes reported by cfDNA, abnormal prenatal ultrasound findings, recurrent pregnancy losses, or affected family members with derX transmitted through multiple generations. Reports of discrepant sex and risk for sex chromosome aneuploidy such as 45,X, 47,XXY and 47,XYY are common false positive outcomes of a prenatal cfDNA screening if either a mother or a fetus has unbalanced Xp-Yq translocation. In addition, mothers who carry der(X) facing a recurrent risk of ambiguity in prenatal testing. Pregnancy loss and neonatal death/stillbirth of male offspring are common in affected families, but this risk does not directly correlate with the size of deleted Xp region. This study emphasizes the importance of CMA and familial testing for accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63913"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142492862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This syndrome is extremely rare, with only 34 cases reported to date. RATARS is characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and intellectual disability. In this study, we report a Japanese girl with psychomotor delay, hypotonia, and facial features resembling Down syndrome (DS). We identified a de novo heterozygous pathogenic variant of SPEN and diagnosed her with RATARS. The patient was born at 38 weeks and 1 day of gestational age, weighing 2598 g, without respiratory or feeding difficulties. We first considered DS as a differential diagnosis based on the developmental delay with hypotonia and facial features, including an upslanted palpebral fissure, hypertelorism, epicanthus folds, and a low nose; however, it was ruled out after cytogenetic testing. Microarray analysis revealed no pathogenic aberrations. We performed trio-based whole exome sequencing and identified a recurrent pathogenic variant of SPEN:NM_015001.3:c.6223_6227del, p.(Ser2075GlufsTer46). Although some features of RATARS have been reported to be similar to those of 1p36 deletion syndrome, facial similarity to DS was a characteristic of our case. Whether this feature is unique to the patient or relatively common in individuals with RATARS should be discussed further as more cases of individuals with RATARS are reported.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63910"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142455913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TA is a severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in which the main arterial outflow tract of the heart fails to separate. We recently reported TMEM260 (NM_017799.4), c.1617del (p.Trp539Cysfs*9), as a major cause of TA in the Japanese population (TMEM260 Keio-Tohoku variant) comparable to the prevalence of the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, which accounts for 12%-35% of TA. However, no other major causes of TA have not been identified. Here, we report a family that included a TA patient and a DORV patient, harboring the compound heterozygous variants of TMEM260, a 7066-bp deletion encompassing exons 6-7 and c.1393C > T, p.(Gln465*). The allele frequency of the 7066-bp deletion was particularly high in the Japanese population (0.17%). Based on the allele frequency of this deletion and c.1617del (0.36%) in the Japanese population, TMEM260 variants might be associated with more than half of the Japanese patients with TA. This study showed that TMEM260 pathogenic variants might be the most common cause of TA in the Japanese population and could explain the wide spectrum of phenotypes associated with TMEM260-related CHD, including DORV, demonstrating the usefulness of genetic testing in Japanese patients with TA.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63906"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142455908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fewer than 50 individuals are currently reported with biallelic loss of function variants in LARP7. We report the case of a 3.5-year-old boy born from nonconsanguineous parents, presenting with syndromic global developmental delay. Exome sequencing identified a homozygous frameshift pathogenic variant in LARP7. Parental analysis failed to detect the variant in the paternal sample, although the father's biological paternity was confirmed. Targeted secondary bioinformatic analyses at the LARP7 locus suggested a 45 Mb loss of heterozygosity (LOH), further confirmed by a single nucleotide polymorphism array that identified four LOH regions on chromosome 4, including one encompassing LARP7. This LOH exposes the recessive LARP7 pathogenic variant, resulting in the manifestation of Alazami syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Alazami syndrome due to uniparental disomy (UPD). UPD is a rare cause of autosomal recessive disorders. Its identification is crucial for genetic counseling to adjust recurrence risk for siblings. This case highlights the effectiveness and usefulness of bioinformatics algorithms applied to next generation sequencing in detecting such events.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63891"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142455914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 15-year-old boy presented with acute headache, and blurred and decreased vision in both eyes. Although initial evaluation pointed toward idiopathic intracranial hypertension, the subsequent diagnostic process revealed unusual features like area postrema syndrome and T2 hyperintensity in brain magnetic resonance imaging.

Recurrent episodes of elevated intracranial pressure necessitated the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Exome sequencing (ES) revealed a novel homozygous variant in the DNAJC30 gene 2 years after symptom onset. Atypical LHON presentations due to nuclear gene mutations may mimic other neuroinflammatory conditions like NMOSD, necessitating thorough clinical evaluation and genetic testing.
