Phenotype associated with TAF2 biallelic mutations: a clinical description of four individuals and review of the literature
2021
International audience; Transcription factor IID is a multimeric protein complex that is essential for the initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. One of its critical components, the TATA-binding protein-associated factor 2, is encoded by the gene TAF2. Pathogenic variants of this gene have been shown to be responsible for the Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 40 syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by severe intellectual disability, postnatal microcephaly, pyramidal signs and thin corpus callosum. Until now, only three families have been reported separately. Here we report four individuals, from two unrelated families, who present with severe intellectual disability and…
BCL11A intellectual developmental disorder: defining the clinical spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations
2021
AbstractPurposeHeterozygous variants in BCL11A underlie an intellectual developmental disorder with persistence of fetal hemoglobin (BCL11A-IDD, a.k.a. Dias-Logan syndrome). We sought to delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of BCL11A-IDD.MethodsWe performed an in-depth analysis of 42 patients with BCL11A-IDD ascertained through a collaborative network of clinical and research colleagues. We also reviewed 33 additional affected individuals previously reported in the literature or available through public repositories with clinical information.ResultsMolecular and clinical data analysis of 75 patients with BCL11A-IDD identified 60 unique variants (30 frameshift, 7 missense, 6 splic…
Autosomal-Recessive Mutations in AP3B2, Adaptor-Related Protein Complex 3 Beta 2 Subunit, Cause an Early-Onset Epileptic Encephalopathy with Optic At…

International audience; Early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (EOEE) represents a heterogeneous group of severe disorders characterized by seizures, interictal epileptiform activity with a disorganized electroencephalography background, developmental regression or retardation, and onset before 1 year of age. Among a cohort of 57 individuals with epileptic encephalopathy, we ascertained two unrelated affected individuals with EOEE associated with developmental impairment and autosomal-recessive variants in AP3B2 by means of whole-exome sequencing. The targeted sequencing of AP3B2 in 86 unrelated individuals with EOEE led to the identification of an additional family. We gathered five addition…
