To track implementation, interval retrospective chart review of patients with DS with visits to the Massachusetts General Hospital DS Program (MGH DSP) was conducted quarterly. The impact of a newly implemented protocol created and informed by clinical experts in the MGH DSP including laboratory tests, imaging, referrals, and screening tools for dementia and mental health concerns, was analyzed using statistical process control charts. From December 2021 to December 2022, the MGH DSP developed and implemented a new clinical protocol to screen for dementia in 44 adults with DS, ages 40 and above, at a total of 48 visits. We found high rates of completion of two screening surveys (85% and 81%, respectively) and an 84% adherence to our overall protocol elements by clinical staff. Among those with dementia-like symptoms, medical evaluation was collected and summarized. We show that it is possible to successfully implement a new protocol, including the use of a dementia screener, in line with published evidence-based care guidelines for adults with DS. We present our protocol as one successful approach focused on pre-visit screening for symptoms of dementia and mental health concerns and evaluating for co-occurring medical conditions in adults with DS.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63948"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142738099","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}

One way to ensure continuity of cancer prevention care is to support adolescents through the transition from pediatric to adult health care. Yet, there are limited data on the impl ementation of health care transition (HCT) programs for AYA with increased risk for cancer. We conducted a scoping review of the literature on transition programs for AYA at increased risk of cancer due to known germline risk or prior cancer diagnosis, with a focus on implementation factors relevant to designing, implementing, and sustaining a new program. Data from 54 articles were extracted and analyzed using the RE-AIM implementation science framework. Few HCT programs have been implemented for AYA with hereditary cancer syndromes. Several groups have done preimplementation work for future hereditary cancer programs, but programs for cancer survivors are farther along the translational spectrum. We identified implementation factors along the five RE-AIM dimensions to assist preimplementation planning for HCT programs for AYA with increased risk for cancer.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63931"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714857","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}

The features of MFS are primarily skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular and are mainly caused by single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the FBN1 gene (MIM#134797) located on chromosome 15q21.1. We describe two patients, a 26-year-old male and a 10-year-old female from unrelated distinct families, with clinically diagnosed sporadic MFS. After years of unsuccessful molecular diagnosis for genetic counseling purposes, genome sequencing was performed and revealed a balanced translocation in both patients: de novo t(9;15)(p13.3;q21.1) translocation in the male patient, and de novo t(15;16)(q21.1;p13.13) translocation in the female patient, respectively, disrupting intron 40 and 45 of FBN1. The other breakpoints were not clinically relevant. These translocations were confirmed by specific fluorescence in situ hybridization probes and conventional karyotyping. In the literature, only one family has been described, leading to four cases of MFS caused by balanced translocations. Genetic counseling for balanced translocations differs from SNVs and even interstitial deletions since it is not restricted to MFS recurrence, but also involves the risk of unbalanced gametes, leading to miscarriage or unbalanced progeny. In case of clinical certainty, MFS patients should be screened for balanced translocations to ensure appropriate genetic counseling.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63923"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708520","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}

The QoL in Short Stature Youth (QoLISSY) is a QoL survey tool developed specifically for short stature children and adolescent. We assessed the QoLISSY scores in children with various skeletal dysplasias presenting with short stature and compared the scores among ACH, OI, and other dysplasias. Forty and 72 questionnaires were sent to the children with various skeletal dysplasias and their parents, respectively, and 24 and 54 valid questionnaires, respectively, were collected. There were no significant differences in age, sex, or height between the patients with ACH, OI, and other skeletal dysplasias.

It presents with linear skin hypopigmentation, facial and limb asymmetry, dental and acral anomalies, and leukoencephalopathy, generally preserving intellectual and neurological functions. We report two cases of EDFAOB. Both cases initially presented with notable facial-body asymmetry, thin hair, dental issues, digital anomalies, and Blaschko's lines-aligned hypopigmentation. A 6-year-old girl exhibited esotropia, visual center atrophy, and bilateral white matter hyperintensities on MRI. A 10-year-old girl had unilateral hyperintense lesions in the left cerebral hemisphere on MRI. Both had normal neuromotor development without intellectual impairment. RHOA gene sequencing from hypopigmented skin biopsies revealed the c.139G > A (p.Glu47Lys) mutation, with allele fractions of 20% and 10%, respectively, absent in blood leukocytes and parental DNA. These cases highlight the clinical and genetic features of EDFAOB and underscore the importance of thorough clinical evaluation to guide precise genetic testing. The identification of mutations exclusively in affected tissues supports a postzygotic mosaic distribution, refining the diagnostic approach for this syndrome.","PeriodicalId":7507,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A","volume":" ","pages":"e63934"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674817","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}
