Genetic and phenotypic dissection of 1q43q44 microdeletion syndrome and neurodevelopmental phenotypes associated with mutations in ZBTB18 and HNRNPU
Subtelomeric 1q43q44 microdeletions cause a syndrome associating intellectual disability, microcephaly, seizures and anomalies of the corpus callosum. Despite several previous studies assessing genotype-phenotype correlations, the contribution of genes located in this region to the specific features of this syndrome remains uncertain. Among those, three genes, AKT3, HNRNPU and ZBTB18 are highly expressed in the brain and point mutations in these genes have been recently identified in children with neurodevelopmental phenotypes. In this study, we report the clinical and molecular data from 17 patients with 1q43q44 microdeletions, four with ZBTB18 mutations and seven with HNRNPU mutations, an…
Further delineation of the female phenotype with KDM5C disease causing variants: 19 new individuals and review of the literature.
X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a genetically heterogeneous condition involving more than 100 genes. To date, 35 pathogenic variants have been reported in the lysine specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) gene. KDM5C variants are one of the major causes of moderate to severe XLID. Affected males present with short stature, distinctive facial features, behavioral disorders, epilepsy, and spasticity. For most of these variants, related female carriers have been reported, but phenotypic descriptions were poor. Here, we present clinical and molecular features of 19 females carrying 10 novel heterozygous variants affecting KDM5C function, including five probands with de novo variants. Four h…
Pseudohypoparathyroïdie : Distorsion du ratio de transmission maternelle des mutations perte de fonction de GNAS
National audience; La PseudoHypoParathyroïdie de type 1A (PHP1A) et la PseudoPseudoHypoparathyroïdie (PPHP) sont deux maladies rares à transmission autosomique dominante provoquées par des mutations perte de fonction du gène GNAS soumis à empreinte, codant la protéine Gsα. La PHP1A est causée par des mutations sur l’allèle maternel et entraîne une Ostéodystrophie Héréditaire d’Albright (AHO) et une résistance à la PTH, tandis que la PPHP avec AHO et sans résistance hormonale est liée à des mutations de l’allèle paternel. Cette étude visait à étudier la transmission des mutations de GNAS. Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective sur un grand nombre de familles mutées GNAS. Pour éviter un biai…
