      CaseAddInfo mutations confirmed in parents by Sanger sequencing, Her elder brother was healthy. This patient presented with lethargy and feeding difficulty when she was 5 days old. She was admitted because of unconsciousness at the age of 5 months, and she was diagnosed with MSUD accompanied by metabolic acidosis, liver damage and hypermyotonia. Cerebral MRI showed abnormal signals in the left and right globus pallidus. Clinical improvement as well as improvement in the laboratory test results was observed after treatment. She is now 3 years and 11 months old with severe psychomotor retardation. She is still unable to walk or speak.

    1. II:5. A 66-year-old woman had had visual impairment since childhood and had attended a special school for the blind. She presented with a further slowly progressive deterioration in her visual acuity, a progressive gait disturbance of 20 years duration, and a 5-year history of deteriorating hearing. Shortly after presentation she developed acute paranoid delusions, low mood and visual hallucinations which resolved spontaneously. On examination, she was just able to perceive light and had bilateral optic atrophy. There was a complete external ophthalmoplegia, bilateral ptosis and bifacial weakness. Her gait was ataxic, tendon reflexes depressed and plantar responses flexor. Clinical investigations revealed an elevated serum creatine kinase (417 U/l, normal <190 U/l) with a normal fasting blood glucose and lactate. An electrocardiogram showed left axis deviation but an echocardiogram was normal. A chest X-ray and pulmonary function tests were normal. An EEG revealed evidence of a mild cortical disturbance. Brain MRI revealed mild cortical and cerebellar atrophy, and prominent small-vessel ischaemic lesions in the cerebral white matter bilaterally.

      GeneAlteration: ENU (ethylnitrosourea) was used to induce random mutatgeneiss in the mouse (PMID: 10932191). Animals were screened based on the development of otitis media. Sequencing of the mouse genome uncovered a single point mutation in the FBXO11 gene resulting in a Ser244Leu protein change. This mutation occurs in the region between the F-box and CASH domain. The Ser at amino acid position 244 is conserved across several species.

    1. The impact of the substitutions in exon 3’s last nucleotide (position c.550) on splicing was previously functionally evaluated using RNA analysis and was established as pathogenic [75]. In the same splice site, we detected a novel variant, c.550 + 3A > C, in a patient P02201 and as the variant had not been previously reported, we tried to functionally evaluate it. Unfortunately, none of the patient’s family members were available for testing. The variant potentially affecting the donor splice site (5'ss) of exon 3 was analyzed in silico by MaxEnt Score [76], and the ratio between mutated and wild-type 5'ss sequence was 0.41—a number suggesting a substantial effect on splicing. According to Le Guédard-Méreuze et al. [77], substitution + 3A > C is prone to cause a splicing defect even if the donor splice site does not contain any further nucleotide changes. We performed minigene analysis (detailed procedure described in Supplement Methods) to confirm the deleterious effect on splicing and it showed aberrant splicing in nearly 100% of mutated minigene construct transcripts (Fig. 3).Fig. 3Minigene splicing analysis of a novel variant c.550 + 3A > C. The wild-type and mutant genomic fragments of SERPING1 comprising exon 3 and flanking upstream (229 bp) and downstream (255 bp) intron sequences, were cloned into pET01 vector and HepG2 cells were transfected with these minigenes. Capillary electrophoresis of RT-PCR products showed aberrant splicing in nearly 100% of mutated minigene construct transcripts. Several different aberrant transcripts were detected. The most abundant was intron 3 retention followed by exon 3 skipping. Transcripts using cryptic donor splice sites − 10 and + 27 were found in the mutant minigene analysis, whereas they were not detected in the wild type at all. a Minigene analysis results: column A shows transcript proportions resulting from control minigene construct representing c.550 + 3A; column C shows transcript proportions resulting from minigene construct representing c.550 + 3C. b Scheme of the transcripts detected in the minigene analysis. c Scheme of the pET minigene construct.

MaxEnt Score values (MES) are specified beneath each splice siteFull size imageVariant c.686-7C > G was detected in a mother and her daughter (P03001-P03002), both affected with HAE symptoms. This variant had been described before [7], but its impact had not been yet fully evaluated. Therefore, we extracted RNA from both patients’ blood and analyzed samples by RT-PCR and fragment analysis (Supplementary Methods), which showed complete impairment caused by the variant (Fig. 4).Fig. 4mRNA analysis of patients carrying variant c.686-7C > G. Capillary electrophoresis was performed on PCR products amplified by primers annealing to exons 4 and 7. a Healthy control shows only one wild type peak. b Both patient sample results show 2 peaks—reference transcript peak and a peak corresponding to a 6 bp longer transcript using a de novo created acceptor splice site. Aberrant and normal transcript proportion was roughly equal, which corresponds to complete impairment caused by the variant. The variant preserves a reading frame and leads to incorporation of additional two amino acids (proline-alanine) into the polypeptide chain

    1. As Bonneau et al. (2014) correctly point out, we did describe two siblings from a non-consanguineous Norwegian family in our original Brain paper, who developed a particularly aggressive disease course characterized by ataxia, spasticity, peripheral neuropathy and myopathy (Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2010). OPA1 sequencing identified two pathogenic variants in both the affected brother and sister: the c.768C>G (p.Ser256Arg) missense mutation in exon 5b and the c.854A>G (p.Gln285Arg) missense mutation in exon 8. Bonneau et al. (2014) rightly queried whether we had actually proven compound heterozygosity in these two affected Norwegian siblings. Although DNA was not available from their deceased parents, we did have access to DNA samples from the brother’s two unaffected daughters and both harboured only the c.768C>G (p.Ser256Arg) substitution in exon 5b. Furthermore, haplotype analysis provided additional evidence that the proband and his affected sister were indeed compound heterozygous for the c.768C>G (p.Ser256Arg) and the c.854A>G (p.Gln285Arg) OPA1 mutations (Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2010).

      This variant is mentioned as a reference to a previous publication (PMID: 20157015) which has already been included in the VCI.

    1. Gene and mutation identification Analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray genotypes from six patients with PHID identified a single common 1.4 Mb region of shared homozygosity within cytogenetic band 10q22.1, between SNPs rs10509321 and rs1900515 (Fig. 1A). Inspection of the Ensembl and UCSC Genome Browsers demonstrated that the region included 14 known and predicted genes: ADAMTS14, C10orf27, CDH23, EIF4EBP2, LRRC2, KIAA1274, NODAL, NPFFR1, PCBD1, PPA1, PRF1, SLC29A3, SGPL1, UNC5B. Positional candidate genes were selected for sequencing in order to identify pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1B). Five different homozygous mutations were identified in the SLC29A3 gene encoding the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (Fig. 1C, Table 1). Human ENT3 has been shown recently to be the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder with overlapping skin features to PHID (6), indicating that these are allelic disorders. hENT3 belongs to a structurally unique protein family of nucleoside and/or nucleobase transporters (13,14). The five homozygous mutations identified segregated with the disease within each family and were not present in over 100 Lebanese and Pakistani control chromosomes.

The deletion causes a frame shift mutation p.Y314Tfs in transmembrane domain 7 and is predicted to result in the substitution of transmembrane domains 8–11 with an irrelevant protein sequence of 91 amino acids derived from an alternate reading frame. The nonsense mutation p.E444X is predicted to lead to premature protein truncation with loss of part of the final cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane domain 11 of hENT3. It would appear unlikely that the either residual protein would be capable of nucleoside transport function.Three homozygous missense mutations of SLC29A3 were identified to involve conserved amino acids (Table 1). The first missense mutation involves Methionine116 in transmembrane domain 2, which is a hydrophobic amino acid in species as distantly related as humans and nematodes, with a large basic amino acid, Arginine (p.M116R; Fig. 1C and E). The Grantham score for this substitution is 91, which is classified as a moderate change (15). Analysis using the SIFT prediction software also classifies this as a likely deleterious change (16). The introduction of a large basic amino acid into a transmembrane domain would likely result in significant disruption of the hydrophobic nature of the domain and result in retention of the transporter protein within the endoplasmic reticulum, as has been demonstrated for other membrane proteins (17).The second missense change is a recently reported Glycine to Arginine substitution at hENT3 amino acid 437 (p.G437R Fig. 1C), which is located in the putative cytoplasmic domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11. This is the only mutation in the PHID cohort that is shared with the known mutations in H syndrome. Of particular interest is the observation that this is the sole individual in the PHID cohort who has not developed insulin-dependent DM. The p.G437R change involves the substitution of a large basic amino acid at a position where 41 members of the ENT family as distantly related as humans and Arabidopsis thaliana encode a small hydrophobic amino acid (Fig. 1E) (18). The Grantham difference for this change is 125 and is classified as a moderately radical change.The third missense change occurs at hENT3 amino acid residue 449, which is also located in the final putative intracellular domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11, and involves the substitution of a Threonine by an Arginine (p.T449R). The amino acids encoded at this position in hENT3 orthologs are small polar/uncharged or small hydrophobic residues (Fig. 1E). Substitution by arginine is associated with a Grantham score of 71 and is predicted by SIFT as not to be tolerated.

    1. The subjects of this study are two sisters of Arab Muslim origin and their parents are entirely healthy first-degree cousins with no visual or neurological complaints. Patient I-1 was born prematurely at 35 weeks gestation and failure to thrive was a problem since birth. At 2 months of age, she was also noted to have truncal hypotonia that was replaced by multiple episodes of hypertonia and opisthotonic posturing. Furthermore, she had a weak cry and abnormal eye pursuits. An initial echocardiography and ophthalmological examinations performed at that time were unremarkable. Metabolic investigations revealed elevated serum alanine and lactate levels, but a normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate concentration. Disease progression was marked by a persisting failure to thrive with severe neurodevelopmental delay, but brain MRI was normal. The patient subsequently developed a progressive, non-obstructive, generalised hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in the absence of overt heart failure. The patient died at 10 months of age following an apnoeic episode.

      DiseaseAssertion: Fatal infantile mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and optic atrophy

      FamilyInfo: Parents are healthy first-degree cousins with no visual or neurological complaints. Both parents were heterozygous for this OPA1 variant. Their optic discs did not look pale on dilated fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging did not show any subclinical thinning of the retinal nerve fibre layer. The parents have two clinically unaffected sons who were 14 and 11 years old when last reviewed in clinic. The older son is heterozygous for the c.1601T>G OPA1 variant, whereas the other son only carries the wild-type OPA1 allele.

Skin fibroblasts from patients with dominant mutations: MFN2:p.R94Q, OPA1:p.S545R and OPA1:p.R733X, show altered organization of the mitochondrial networks. (A) Representative images of controls and fibroblasts with OPA1:p.S545R and MFN2:p.R94Q mutations. Individual mitochondrial tubules are shown distinctively coloured. (B) Histograms indicate the number of individual mitochondrial tubules per total mitochondrial length; (C) the number of network branch points per total mitochondrial length; (D) the mitochondrial volume per cellular volume (convex hull algorithm); (E) and the bar diagram shows the distribution of mitochondrial lengths. Values of mutated skin fibroblasts are the mean ± s.d. of at least 40 measurements from two independent acquisitions. Control values are the mean ± s.d. of at least 160 measurements (X, XL or XXL cell size) from four healthy control cell lines. *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001, Mann–Whitney U-test. Scale bar: 10 μm.Dominant OPA1 mutations are associated with fragmented mitochondrial networks in fibroblasts from ADOA patients (Amati-Bonneau et al., 2005), and in HeLa cells transfected with OPA1 mutants (Olichon et al., 2007) but no reduction of mitochondrial volume has been described. In our study, the OPA1:p.S545R and OPA1:p.R733X mutations were associated with a higher ratio of individual mitochondrial tubules to total mitochondrial length (Fig. 3B). Unconnected mitochondria consisted of small tubular structures (Fig. 3E) with few dichotomous branches and a small number of connection points (Fig. 3C). Significantly, mitochondrial fragmentation in the OPA1:p.S545R cells was associated with a 20.5% reduction of mitochondrial volume compared to controls (P < 0.001; Mann–Whitney U-test) (Fig. 3D). The mitochondrial fragmentation observed in OPA1:p.R733X cells did not affect the total mitochondrial volume since the length of each individual tubule in these cells is longer than in OPA1:p.S545R cells.This fragmentation was associated with a disorganization of the mitochondrial network that did not affect cell size or shape. Interestingly, in OPA1:p.S545R cells, most mitochondrial tubular structures were found close to the MTOC (Fig. 3, Fig. 4) whereas isolated mitochondria were mainly found in the three extension arms of the triangular cell and around the nucleus. It would have been interesting to perform a statistical analysis of the variation of mitochondrial volume according to the various cell regions but the precise definition of these subregions for automatic anaylsis presented considerable difficulties. However, our visual analysis indicated that each region of the cell – central, perinuclear, and periplasmic – was equally affected by the reduction of mitochondrial volume in OPA1:p.S545R cells.Download : Download high-res image (848KB)Download : Download full-size imageFig. 4. Mitochondrial network of OPA1:p.S545R fibroblasts. (A) Mitochondrial network (in black) in control fibroblast (MitoTracker Green staining). (B) Mitochondrial network fragmentation induced by CCCP 10 μM 24 h. (C1–4) In OPA1:p.S545R fibroblasts, the major portion of the mitochondrial network was fragmented except for mitochondria emerging from the MTOC (white spots are supposed to indicate the position the MTOC). Representative images of at least 160 cells (X, XL or XXL cell size) from three control cell lines, acquired in two independent times. Scale bars: 10 μm.We noted that no tubular structures were preserved when mitochondrial fragmentation was induced by the mitochondrial uncoupler CCCP (Fig. 4B) or by siRNA OPA1 (supplementary material Fig. S4B).The expression of the GTPase-domain mutant of MFN2 (MFN2:p.K109T) in HeLa cells was shown to induce mitochondrial fragmentation (Detmer and Chan, 2007). However, standard fluorescent imaging revealed no mitochondrial network defects in heterozygous MFN2 CMT2A fibroblasts (Loiseau et al., 2007, Amiott et al., 2008). In contrast, our standardized technique of mitochondrial imaging showed that the missense mutation MFN2:p.R94Q induced mitochondrial biogenesis and the over-fusion of mitochondria. Reticulated mitochondria were distributed all over the cell (Fig. 3A) with a 24% higher number of mitochondrial network branch points compared to controls (P < 0.01; Mann–Whitney U-test) (Fig. 3C) and a 14.8% increase of mitochondrial content per cell compared to controls (P < 0.01; Mann–Whitney U-test) (Fig. 3D).In contrast to the mitochondrial fragmentation observed after neuroblastoma cell lines were transfected with GDAP1 mutants (Niemann et al., 2009), no alterations in mitochondrial network morphology were found in fibroblasts with the GDAP1:p.R120W mutation (Fig. 3).

      Cultured fibroblasts from patients show that this variant results in altered organization of the mitochondrial network including a 20.5% reduction in mitochondrial volume compared to controls, a higher ratio of individual mitochondrial tubules to total mitochondrial length, unconnected mitochondria that consisted of small tubular structures (Fig. 3E) with few dichotomous branches and a small number of connection points, and fragmentation of the mitochondrial network (Fig. 4).

    1. Dysosteosclerosis (DSS), an extremely rare dense bone disease, features short stature and fractures and sometimes optic atrophy, cranial nerve palsy, developmental delay, and failure of tooth eruption in infancy or early childhood consistent with osteopetrosis (OPT). Bone histology during childhood shows unresorbed primary spongiosa from deficient osteoclast action. Additionally, there is remarkable progressive flattening of all vertebrae and, by adolescence, paradoxical metaphyseal osteopenia with thin cortical bone. Reports of consanguinity indicate autosomal recessive inheritance, yet more affected males than females suggest X-linked recessive inheritance. We investigated a nonconsanguineous girl with DSS. Osteosclerosis was discovered at age 7 months. Our studies, spanning ages 11 to 44 months, showed weight at approximately 50th percentile, and length diminishing from approximately 30th percentile to –2.3 SD. Head circumference was +4 SD. The patient had frontal bossing, blue sclera, normal teeth, genu valgum, and unremarkable joints. Radiographs showed orbital and facial sclerosis, basilar thickening, bone-in-bone appearance of the pelvis, sclerotic long bone ends, and fractures of ribs and extremities. Progressive metaphyseal widening occurred as vertebrae changed from ovoid to flattened and became beaked anteriorly. A hemogram was normal. Consistent with OPT, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations reflected dietary calcium levels. Serum bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and TRACP-5b were subnormal. The iliac crest contained excessive primary spongiosa and no osteoclasts. No mutations were identified in the splice sites or exons for the genes encoding chloride channel 7, T-cell immune regulator 1, OPT-associated transmembrane protein 1, and monocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor C-FMS, ANKH, OPG, RANK, and RANKL. Genomic copy-number microarray was unrevealing. Hence, DSS is a distinctive OPT of unknown etiology featuring osteoclast deficiency during early childhood. How osteopenia follows is an enigma of human skeletal pathobiology. © 2010 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.Keywords: bone remodeling, erlenmeyer flask deformity, osteoclast, osteosclerosis, RANKL, skeletal dysplasiaGo to:IntroductionDysosteosclerosis (DSS; OMIM % 224300)(1) refers to an extremely rare disorder characterized in 1968 by Spranger and colleagues(2) that presents in infancy or early childhood and features diffuse osteosclerosis with expanded ends of the tubular bones and platyspondyly. In keeping with a type of osteopetrosis (OPT),(3) bone histology during childhood shows unresorbed primary spongiosa and therefore deficient osteoclast action.(4,5) The skeleton is dense but brittle. Patients develop short stature and fractures and can suffer optic atrophy and sometimes cranial nerve palsy, developmental delay, and failure of tooth eruption,(1,6–9) in keeping with “marble bone disease.”(3) MRI has suggested delayed myelination in the brain,(10) seizures have occurred,(11) and various skin lesions have been reported.(11–14) Consanguinity(2,6,12,13,15) and a greater number of affected males (including in two generations) than females(11) suggest that DSS can be either an autosomal recessive trait(1,15) or an X-linked recessive trait,(11) but the genetic defect(s) is not known.(1)The clinical course and prognosis of DSS are not well understood. In 1978, Houston and colleagues(6) reported a 15-year-old boy whose iliac crest histology at 20 months of age revealed unresorbed primary spongiosa consistent with OPT. Subsequently, however, metaphyseal widening and sclerosis of early childhood changed to greater metaphyseal expansion (extending into the diaphysis) with remarkable osteopenia and cortical thinning by adolescence. In 2008, his follow-up at age 44 years was reported by Lemire and Wiebe,(16) who documented persistence of the widened proximal and distal ends of the long tubular bones with central diaphyses that were not expanded and showed cortical thickening.Here, we describe our clinical, biochemical, radiologic, histopathologic, and genetic investigation of a young girl with DSS and review the pertinent literature.Go to:Materials and MethodsInformed written consent for all studies was obtained as approved by the Human Research Protection Office, Washington University School of Medicine (St Louis, MO, USA).Case ReportThis 44-month-old American girl was admitted to our research center at ages 11, 23, 25, and 35 months. Additional outpatient serum and urine specimens were obtained at ages 27, 30, and 44 months.Medical historyThe patient was born vaginally at 38 weeks' gestation to a 37-year-old G3, P3, A0 woman. Birth weight was low for gestational age at 5 pounds, 14 ounces, but length 19½ inches.At 5 months of age, computed tomography (CT) for rapidly increasing head circumference (25th percentile at birth, 97th percentile at age 5 months, despite growth at 50th percentile for both length and weight) reportedly showed prominent ventricles, sulci, and subarachnoid spaces but no space-occupying lesion or hemorrhage.At 7 months of age, a radiograph (see below) for posttraumatic arm pain prompted a skeletal survey showing metaphyseal sclerosis that was attributed to “rickets.” Vitamin D was prescribed but not taken.From birth to 8 months of age, the patient had recurrent ear and skin infections and abdominal discomfort believed from colic.Between 8 and 11 months of age, several episodes of joint-centered limb pain were thought to be from dislocations. On referral to us at age 11 months, psychomotor development was on time. Tooth eruption was not delayed.At age 20 months, the patient fractured her distal left femur during a fall. Healing was delayed in a full splint.Ophthalmologic exam was normal at age 28 months. Audiometry had not been performed, but she seemed to hear well, had clear speech, and was bilingual.At age 30 months, she fractured through dense metaphyseal bone in her right radius and ulna during a fall. Reportedly, healing was slow (casted for 3 months). Parental recollection of further breaks was negative, but radiographs showed previous fractures. Morning stiffness in her lower limbs lasted 2 to 3 hours each day. She had chronic nasal “stuffiness.” Several episodes of erythematous papules involved her lower abdomen and were always on at least one area of her body but usually her belly, legs, or arms. Episodes lasted 3 to 4 days, were not associated with fever, and did not hurt or itch.At 36 months, she fell and fractured her distal right femur, where dense metaphyseal and more normal-appearing diaphyseal bone joined. Healing was delayed in a long-leg cast for 3 months.She received acetaminophen for nighttime fussiness but no multivitamins or supplements. She drank filtered municipal tap water. There were no factories near her home, but lead paint had been removed from a nearby house.At age 44 months (3⅔ years), interval history revealed a fractured left femur from a fall onto a carpeted floor with delayed healing while casted. Subsequently, however, the patient could run. There was generalized morning stiffness and painful ribs.Her healthy brothers were 6 and 8 years old. The family history was negative for skeletal disease or parental consanguinity. The father was of Turkish descent. The mother's family emigrated to Turkey from Greece 70 years previously.Physical findingsWhen examined for diagnosis at age 11 months, the patient had a high forehead, frontal bossing, blue sclerae, a flattened nasal bridge, downturned mouth (Fig. 1A), a narrow and high-arched palate, and a wide palatine ridge with nine normal-appearing teeth, indicating no delay in tooth eruption. Joint range of motion was full. A dermatosis involved her lower abdomen (Fig. 1B).Open in a separate windowFig. 1Patient. (A) At age 44 months, there is frontal bossing, a small midface, low-set ears, and blue sclerae. (B) At age 3 years, the recurring dermatosis (arrow) is present on the lower abdomen.At age 22 months, she had no palpable cranial sutures, bony tenderness, or genu valgum. Although 50th percentile for weight and length at age 5 months, between 11 and 35 months of age she maintained her weight at approximately 30th percentile of normal, but length decreased from approximately 30th percentile to below the growth curve (Z-score = –2.5). The upper/lower body segment Z-score increased to greater than 2.0. Arm span was less than 5th percentile. Head circumference Z-score decreased from +4.3 to +3.6. Genu valgum was present radiographically as early as 22 months of age.At age 44 months, weight was approximately 59th percentile, and length was –2.3 SD. Arm span versus height had progressed initially along the 50th percentile, but arm span measurements now showed that her arms were disproportionately short.(23)Biochemical testingFasting blood was used for all in-patient studies. Biochemical profiles were obtained from our Dade Behring Dimension Xpand instrument (Siemens Health Care Diagnostics, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA) using the reference ranges provided by the manufacturer. However, for all key findings, results were contrasted with values from fasting sera obtained in 2006 and 2007 from 34 healthy children and 24 healthy adults.(17)At age 11 months, the patient was given a diet containing approximately 400 mg of calcium per day to match her home intake estimated from a 7-day food record [Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for age = 270 mg]. At age 23 months, intake was approximately 950 mg. At age 35 months, we reduced her calcium intake to 775 mg daily (RDA of 500 mg recommended) to prevent suppressed serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (see “Results”).To explore whether DSS is an OPT, we assayed serum levels of the brain isoenzyme of creatine kinase, BB-CK (Kit K20, Sebia, Norcorss, GA, USA),(18) tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP-5b, Kit 8033, Quidel, Los Angeles, CA, USA),(17) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).(17)Skeletal remodeling was assessed by quantitating serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) using ELISA (Quidel Corp., San Diego, CA, USA) and osteocalcin (Kit LKON1, Siemens Health Care Diagnostics, Inc.) and urine free deoxypyridinoline (DPD, Immulite 1000 Pyrilinks, D Kit, Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics, Ltd., Lianberis, Gwynedd, UK).Radiologic studiesAll radiologic studies, including images obtained elsewhere, were reviewed to assess the nature and evolution of the patient's skeletal disease, including fractures and their rate of healing. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the patient and her parents involved a Hologic QDR 4500-A instrument (Hologic Corp., Waltham, MA, USA).Histopathologic studiesAt 2 years of age, two 3-day oral courses of demeclocycline separated by 10 days were ingested. Two days after the last dose, a transapophyseal iliac crest biopsy was performed using a Trap-Lok needle (Medical Device Technologies; Gainesville, FL, USA). The specimen was fixed in 70% ethanol and 30% water, embedded without decalcification in methyl methacrylate, and cut into 5-µm sections for staining via the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), toluidine blue, and von Kossa methods. Unstained 10-µm sections were used for fluorescence microscopy.Mutation analysesThree genes (exons and mRNA splice sites) associated with OPT [chloride channel 7 (CLCN7), T-cell immune regulator 1 (TCIRG1), and OPT-associated transmembrane protein 1 (OSTM1)] had been studied at Connective Tissue Gene Tests (Allentown, PA, USA). We purified genomic DNA from blood leukocytes using the Gentra Puregene DNA extraction kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and examined all coding exons and adjacent mRNA splice sites of TNFRSF11A encoding RANK, TNFRSF11B encoding OPG, and TNFSF11 encoding RANK ligand (RANKL) by PCR and sequencing in both directions using published methods and primers.(19–21) Because few osteoclasts were noted on our patient's iliac crest biopsy, the CSF1 and CSF1R genes encoding monocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor C-FMS, respectively, were examined using primers and conditions that we developed (available on request). Furthermore, her bone modeling disturbances and the literature report of resolution of long bone osteosclerosis in DSS(6,16) led us to study the ANKH gene deactivated in craniometaphyseal dysplasia.(22) DNA sequences were evaluated using AlignX software (Vector NTI, Invitrogen) and by inspecting electropherograms.Genomic DNA copy-number microarray analysis of the proband and parents was performed using the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip at the Laboratory for Clinical Genomics, Washington University School of Medicine (St Louis, MO, USA) and the Partek Genomics Suite (Partek, St Louis, MO, USA).Literature reviewWe assessed all previous reports of DSS using original publications obtained from the Becker Library of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine (St Louis, MO, USA), especially the radiographic reproductions.Go to:ResultsBiochemical testingSerum ionized calcium was highest, 5.3 mg/dL (normal 4.7 to 5.3 mg/dL), during the first admission at age 11 months (Table 1), when her estimated dietary intake of calcium significantly exceeded the RDA. With less dietary calcium, serum generally contained lower total and ionized calcium concentrations, but PTH levels fluctuated considerably over ages 11 to 44 months, ranging from 7 to 120 pg/mL (normal 4 to 52 pg/mL; Table 1). Calcium in timed urine collections ranged from 196 to 241 mg/g of creatinine (Cr).Table 1Longitudinal Biochemical FindingsSerumTotal CaCa2+PTHPiALPBAPOsteocalcinTRACP-5bAge (mos.)(normal 8.9–10.2 mg/dL)(normal 4.7–5.3 mg/dL)(normal 4–52 pg/mL)(normal 3.4–5.9 mg/dL)(normal 157–477 IU/L)(normal 88–247 U/L)(normal 37–119 ng/mL)(normal 13–23 U/L)1110.15.3344.7213—982310.25.2335.0162—2—259.14.91204.52108512227*10.1—75.2125———30*10.0—384.6140———359.95.0624.21364112344*9.85.0224.41766363Open in a separate window— = not done.*= non-fasting outpatient serum.Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was 28 ng/mL (normal 32 to 100 ng/mL) (Lab Corp., Burlington, NC, USA), with normal levels of magnesium and inorganic phosphate.Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) decreased to as low as 125 IU/L (normal 157 to 477 IU/L) and was intermittently subnormal for age, especially in view of recurrent fractures. Serum BAP, osteocalcin, and TRACP-5b levels all were consistently low (Table 1). Urine free DPD was 18 nmol/mmol of Cr (23 months) and 14 nmol/mmol of Cr (44 months) (normal 7 to 34 nmol/mmol).Serum BB-CK, LDH, and AST levels were unremarkable, unlike in some OPTs, where elevated values can occur.(17,18) Urine did not contain heavy metals. Serum was negative for lead (Legacy Laboratory Services, Portland, OR, USA).At ages 23, 35, and 44 months, complete blood counts were normal, including monocytes. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate seemed elevated for a child at 18, 15, and 24 mm/h, respectively (normal 0 to 20 mm/h for young adults), and serum C-reactive protein was consistently normal. Serum contained elevated IgG of 1416 mg/dL (normal 453 to 916 mg/dL) and slightly high IgA of 111 mg/dL (normal 20 to 100 mg/dL) (Lab Corp.).Radiologic findingsRadiographic skeletal surveys were available from ages 7, 11, 22, and 33 months. Right hand and wrist films were available at 30 months, left knee at 42 months, and right knee at 47 months.A generalized skeletal disorder was revealed, where every imaged bone was abnormal (Figs. 2 through ​through5).5). Prominent findings included basilar sclerosis of the skull and modeling abnormalities (expansion) in the major long bones resembling OPT but also ovoid vertebral bodies characteristic of DSS. The sclerosis must have occurred postnatally because relatively normal iliac bones had formed in utero that subsequently became sclerotic peripherally. The changes per anatomic site are described below.Open in a separate windowFig. 2Skull. (A) At age 22 months, anteroposterior view of the skull shows sclerosis that affects the periorbital region and skull base. The sinuses are opacified. (B) At age 33 months, the neurocranium appears large on lateral view, with diffuse sclerosis greatest at the base. The midface is small, and the mandibular angle is obtuse.Open in a separate windowFig. 5Hand and foot radiographs. At 22 (A) and 33 (B) months of age the left hand and at 22 (C) months of age the left foot show diffuse sclerosis greatest in the metaphyses of the metacarpals and metatarsals and distal radius and ulna. The amount of sclerosis in the proximal phalanges varies from much to little and is greatest in the metaphyseal regions. The tarsals have some sclerosis greatest in the cuboids. Pathologic fractures are shown through sclerotic bone in the distal radius (arrow) and ulna in the anteroposterior projection (D) at 30 months and near nonsclerotic bone in the right femur (arrows) at 47 months (E).Axial skeletonSkull The neurocranium at ages 22 and 33 months was large, resulting in craniofacial disproportion (Fig. 2). The frontal bone bulged anteriorly; the midface was small. The posterior fossa appeared prominent. Sutures were normal. Closure of the anterior fontanelle seemed delayed (open at 22 months; virtually closed at 33 months). The ascending ramus of the mandible was smaller than expected, and the mandibular angle was obtuse. Some teeth were malformed or abnormally oriented. The skull base was sclerotic, increasing between 7 to 33 months. Periorbital sclerosis was especially prominent along with sclerosis of the greater and lesser wings of the sphenoid and the posterior portion of the sphenoid body. Maxillary and ethmoid sinuses were opaque at ages 22 and 33 months, and the mastoid air cells were small.Head CT At age 5 months, CT showed a sclerotic skull base but no hydrocephalus or intracranial calcifications. The sulci were slightly enlarged. There was a suggestion of abnormal myelination. The optic foramina, middle ears, and internal auditory canals appeared grossly normal, but detailed optic foramina and petrous bone imaging was not obtained. Multiple follow-up CTs elsewhere were essentially unchanged.Chest Chest shape was normal, but the ribs were broad and diffusely sclerotic with multiple lower rib fracture deformities at age 7 months. By age 22 months, the ribs were more sclerotic, the medullary cavities were delayed (because they were just beginning to form), and there were multiple healed fractures that had become more numerous in the fifth through the eleventh ribs bilaterally. The ribs were shortened with a modeling error anteriorly, and wide anteriorly and laterally (Fig. 3A). Fractures had occurred anteriorly, and laterally and were not remodeling. At 33 months, the ribs were still sclerotic and widened, and they had more recent fractures and multiple fracture deformities but were showing further medullary cavity development. The clavicles were sclerotic, and their medial ends widened at ages 22 and 33 months. The sternal segments were broad and sclerotic, with a central lucency, as were the scapulae. The heart and lungs appeared normal.Open in a separate windowFig. 3Spine. This anteroposterior projection (A) at 22 months shows sclerotic vertebrae, dense ribs with healing fractures, sclerotic medial clavicles, and bone-in-bone appearance in the ilium as seen in some forms of OPT. Between 7 (B) and 33 (C) months of age, the lateral spine shows sclerosis and flattening of vertebral bodies that increased with age. The vertebral bodies have a pointed configuration anteriorly (greatest at 7 months). Sclerosis affects the entire vertebra.Pelvis Sclerosis was accompanied by a normal-appearing central portion of the iliac bones causing a “bone in bone” appearance at age 22 months (Fig. 3A), and even more apparent at 33 months. The upper iliac borders were irregular. The ischial and pubic bones were sclerotic. The femoral heads and metaphyses were sclerotic, and the necks were wide with failure of modeling.Spine The vertebral bodies were sclerotic, with the cranial and caudal ends appearing “sandwich-like,” and their anterior margins were pointed anteriorly. Compared with age 7 months, when the lumbar vertebrae had a more oval shape (Fig. 3B), vertebral body flattening was more striking at age 22 months, and at 33 months the vertebral bodies showed rectangular shapes with greater relative flattening (Fig. 3C). There was some anterior vertebral notching. The disk spaces were relatively widened. The neural arches also were sclerotic. A pars defect, in keeping with an OPT,(24) was observed at L4, but healed by 33 months.Appendicular skeletonExtremities The overall pattern was one of sclerosis focused primarily on the metaphyses that also were expanded (Fig. 4).Open in a separate windowFig. 4Appendicular skeleton. At 22 (A) and 33 (B) months of age the lower extremities, and at 7 (C) and 33 (D) months of age the left upper extremity, show sclerosis greatest at the proximal and distal ends of the bones and metaphyseal expansion from tubulation failure greatest in the distal femurs. (E) There are transverse metaphyseal bands of osteosclerosis, as seen in some forms of OPT (arrows). A healing fracture featuring focal bone expansion and periosteal new bone formation is present in the distal left femur at the junction of the sclerotic and nonsclerotic bone (arrows) (A). There is a slight irregularity of the physeal plates and adjacent provisional zones of calcification (C, D, E). Sclerosis in the upper extremities has increased at the ends of the bones between 7 (C) and 33 (D) months of age. In the leg bones and distal right femur, the junction between the sclerotic and nonsclerotic bone is sharp, but not well defined in the proximal femurs or distal left femur. The junction between the sclerotic and nonsclerotic bone can have a transverse or oblique shape.Tubulation failure was best seen in the distal femurs (Fig. 4A, B). By 33 months, this expansion extended almost to the midshafts. The expansion, which was greatest in the metaphyses, extended into the diaphyses and from sclerotic bone into nonsclerotic bone. Between the ages of 7 and 43 months, the dense sclerosis at the ends of the bones increased appreciably in length. Some areas of metaphyseal sclerosis were sharply demarcated at the diaphysis, whereas others appeared to fade into more normal-appearing bone. There was a healing fracture in the distal left femur at the junction of the sclerotic and nonsclerotic bone, shown by periosteal new bone formation and focal expansion of the bone (Fig. 4A). The rate at which extremity fractures healed was delayed. Fractures continued to occur. Transverse lucent areas that were small and faint were seen in the dense sclerosis of some metaphyses, such as the distal femur (Fig. 4E).In the proximal end of the humeral metaphyses and both distal radii and ulnas, between 7 and 33 months of age, there were well-demarcated areas of dense sclerosis that increased in length (Fig. 4C, D). The junctions between the sclerotic and nonsclerotic bone were varied, being transverse, oblique, and rounded. The cortices in the midshafts were thickened. The proximal humeri and the distal radii and ulnas showed best the irregularity of the provisional zones of calcification at the physeal plates (Fig. 4C, D). The epiphyses were sclerotic.Hands and feet Sclerosis was greatest in the metacarpals, metatarsals, and distal radii and ulnas and often most in their metaphyses (Fig. 5). Nevertheless, metacarpals and metatarsals contained nonsclerotic areas. Some phalanges were almost entirely sclerotic, whereas others appeared normal. In some, metaphyseal sclerosis terminated abruptly into more normal-appearing bone, and then into a mixed sclerosis pattern. The cuboids had focal sclerosis, as did some other tarsal bones, but the carpals and distal radial epiphyses had no sclerosis. The distal radii and ulnas showed irregular physeal plates, provisional zones of calcification, and broad undertubulated, densely sclerotic metaphyses where the sclerosis terminated abruptly into more normal-appearing bone (Fig. 5D). In addition, the sclerosis ended in a rounded or oblique shape. The second metacarpals had accessory epiphyses. The bone age at 22 months was delayed to 18 months. At 33 months, the metaphyses of the phalanges were more sclerotic, as were the epiphyses.At age 3 years, DXA L1–L4 spine BMD Z-score was +8.1.Fractures Fractures would occur through radiographically dense bone (Fig. 5D) or at the junction of osteosclerosis and less remarkable bone (Fig. 5E) and were slow to heal.Histopathologic findingsTransapophyseal iliac crest biopsy showed a disordered growth plate consistent with the findings in some appendicular radiographs (see above). Specifically, the physis had zones of chondrocytes with normal proliferative and hypertrophic morphologies (Fig. 6A), but the cells were not arranged in their usual columnar orientation. An area deep to the growth plate, which at the patient's age is normally composed of trabecular bone with modest amounts of centrally located cartilage remnants, consisted almost entirely of calcified cartilage, as shown by H&E, toluidine blue, and von Kossa stains (Fig. 6,B–D). There was replacement of trabecular bone by calcified cartilage and diminished numbers of hematopoietic cells. Fluorescence imaging of unstained sections (not shown) demonstrated diffuse uptake of demeclocycline in areas of calcified cartilage near the growth plate, but there were no linear single or double labels to indicate normal bone formation. The area between the calcified cartilage contained primarily mesenchymal cells (ie, osteoblasts and fibroblasts), with only rare hematopoietic cells. Osteoclasts were not identified morphologically or by TRAP staining (Fig. 6E). Overall, the findings of increased amounts of cartilage, decreased hematopoietic marrow, and an absence of identifiable osteoclasts were consistent with a form of “osteoclast-poor” OPT.Open in a separate windowFig. 6Osteoclast-poor osteopetrosis. Sections of the nondecalcified transapophyseal iliac crest biopsy at age 25 months show a growth plate (A) containing proliferative (Pr) and hypertrophic (Hy) chondrocytes that lack the normal columnar orientation along the axis perpendicular to the bone surface. In this toluidine-stained section, the bone surface is toward the left, and the chondrocytes should be arranged in rows from left to right. Scale bar = 200 µm. H&E-stained (B) and toluidine blue–stained (C) sections demonstrate disorganized trabeculae composed primarily of cartilage (purple in both stains), with only minimal bone matrix (pink in B, pale gray in C). A von Kossa stain (D) shows that the cartilage in these “trabecular” areas is calcified. TRAP staining (E) fails to identify any osteoclasts. Scale bar (B–E) = 100 µm.Family studiesSkeletal survey of the parents revealed no significant abnormalities. The mother, 5 feet, 1 inch tall, had brachycephaly and minimal degenerative changes of L5. The father, a 5 foot, 11 inch postman, had brachycephaly, spondylolysis of L5, anterior wedging of T12, and multiple Schmorl's nodes in his lumbar and thoracic spine. The patient's two brothers and three paternal cousins had several radiographs taken elsewhere following trauma that were essentially unremarkable.DXA of the mother showed BMD Z-scores at the upper half of the age-matched normal range for the L1–L4 spine, total hip, wrist, and whole body. The father's values were average for gender and age.Studies of mineral homeostasis were unremarkable for the mother and father. Respectively, serum TRACP-5b was 3 and 2 U/L (normal 2 to 4 U/L for females and 3 to 5 U/L for males), osteocalcin 8 and 5 ng/mL (normal 3 to 14 ng/mL), and BAP 16 and 15 U/L (normal 12 to 31 U/L for females and 15 to 41 U/L for males). Urine free DPD was 5.0 and 2.9 nmol DPD/mmol of Cr (normal 3.0 to 7.4 nmol/mmol for females and 2.3 to 5.4 nmol/mmol for males). The father's profile suggested low-normal remodeling.Mutation analysesMutation analysis of the patient's CLCN7, TCIRG1, and OSTM genes was notable only for a previously unreported heterozygous missense variation in CLCN7 (p.T198M). This seemed noncontributory to the DSS because it occurred in the healthy father and would affect an amino acid not conserved across species.(25)No mutations were detected in TNFRSF11A, TNFRSF11B, CSF1, CSF1R, or ANKH. However, in TNFSF11, encoding RANKL, we found a heterozygous single-base alteration predicting an amino acid change (c.107C > G, p.Pro36Arg). This missense variation also was identified in the patient's father, but not in her mother, and was not listed in dbSNP,(26) nor had it been reported in several association studies of RANKL polymorphisms.(27,28) However, we did find it (heterozygous) in 4 of 67 patients [4 of 134 alleles (3.0%)] with a variety of metabolic/dysplastic bone diseases (see “Discussion”) and homozygous in a man with an unusual, severe variant of Camurati-Engelmann disease.(29) Nevertheless, using this candidate gene approach, we did not identify a causal gene defect for the DSS that we presume was inherited in this family as an autosomal recessive trait. Microarray-based genomic copy-number analysis of the patient and parents also was unrevealing.TreatmentLowering excessive dietary calcium was advised to ensure that circulating PTH levels were not suppressed and thereby impairing bone resorption. Following her second inpatient evaluation, reduction from approximately 950 to 500 mg calcium (RDA) was recommended, but a food record suggested intake of 775 mg. Thereafter, even small changes seemed to explain wide swings in serum PTH levels (Table 1), in keeping with severe OPT.(30)No recommendation was made for bone marrow transplantation (see “Discussion”). Teriparatide was not prescribed, and PTH seemed ineffective in a previous patient.(6) Particular attention was paid to possible surgical intervention if narrowed cranial foramina

The mRNA level of frameshift variant p.Thr442fs7 was almost same with the level of wild-type, whereas nonsense variant p.Arg253 was even increased, thus they might escape NMD. As a result, p.Gln316 and p.Ser436fs36 mutant GDAP2 proteins were barely detectable, p.Thr442fs7, p.His400fs15 and p.Arg253 generated truncated proteins. Western blot analysis indicated that the GDAP2-Arg253 and GDAP2-Thr442fs*7 were C-terminal deletion mutants.

      CellLine: Human Mononuclear Myoblast

      CellEFO: CL:0000056

      GeneFunction: GO:0007015 (Actin Filament Organization)

      GeneAlteration: A wild-type C-terminal EGFP-tagged β-TM fusion gene was generated by amplifying TPM2 and cloning it into a vector while introducing XhoI and EcoRI restriction sites. All mutant constructs were formed by site-directed mutagenesis and cloning into E. coli. These constructs were sequenced to verify the correct coding sequence and introduction of the mutations. They were then introduced to human myoblast cells and mouse C2C12 cells via transfection.

      FunctionalEvidence: The expression of these TPM2 mutants in cultured cells demonstrated several morphological abnormalities reminiscent of those seen in nemaline myopathy patients. In the human myoblasts/differentiated cells, these included various types of aggregates including nuclear, cytoplasmic, endogenous, and perinuclear. Large accumulations of actin along with clouds around the nucleus and cytoplasm with unorganized structure were also present. Poor incorporation of stress fibers, what appeared to be disorganized sarcomeric structure, and rod-like structures both intranuclear and in the myotubes in particular all demonstrate clear similarities to those phenotypes seen in nemaline myopathy, namely the presence of nemaline rods, disorganized sarcomeres, and z-disc abnormalities. These two groups of pathologies also seem to share the same mechanism, specifically the TPM2 mutations destabilizing the actin-myosin structures and causing accumulation and abnormal structures to form. Similarly, the modified C2C12 myoblasts/myotubes also displayed peripheral and perinuclear aggregates in both stages of development as well as diffuse cytoplasmic labeling of stress fibers. They had difficulty differentiating, as they appeared to be fused rather than elongated and multinucleated. This further supports the connection between the gene disruption and the pathologies that are demonstrated here.

    1. DNA from two Syrian families with H syndrome was analyzed through direct sequencing, and the expression of hENT3 in normal human skin was investigated by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. Results: We identified two novel mutations in the SLC29A3 gene: a homozygous splice site mutation IVS1+2T>G predicted to cause a splicing error, and a homozygous missense mutation c.1157G>A (p.R386Q) which substituted highly conserved amino acid residue in a transmembrane domain of hENT3. Furthermore, we demonstrate that hENT3 is expressed in histiocytes as well as in endothelium of blood and lymphatic vessels in normal human skin.

      Free Text: "Birth weight, length and head circumference were 3.149 kg (−0.18SD), 51 cm (+0.99SD), and 33 cm (−0.74SD), respectively. Although she did not cry immediately and was described as sleepy and lethargic, her Apgar scores were 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. She has had poor weight gain throughout life. By 2 months of age, she developed alternating esotropia, poor visual fixation, truncal hypotonia, upper and lower extremity hypertonia and a high-pitched cry. She also had myoclonic jerks and jerky movements of her extremities. Her weight, height and head circumference were 4.6 kg (−1.57SD), 51 cm (−3.81 SD) and 39.2 cm (+0.06SD), respectively. A head CT scan detected no anatomical anomalies. An EEG showed excessively slow background without epileptiform activity. Despite intervention, her weight gain continued to fall off, and she was diagnosed with failure to thrive. She rolled over at age 6 months, sat unsupported at 1 year. A follow-up EEG at 14 months showed a slow dysrhythmic background compatible with a seizure predisposition and diffuse cerebral dysfunction. A brain MRI at 18 months of age showed normal anatomy and myelination. In the ensuing months, she demonstrated a happy disposition, low truncal muscle tone and distal hypertonia as well as a myopathic facial appearance, a tented upper lip, a high arched palate, micrognathia, prominent finger pads and mild fifth toe clinodactyly. At age 4 years and 1 month, a developmental assessment defined her overall functioning at no more than a 12-month-old equivalent; she was not autistic. At age 6 years and 11 months, she manifested sparse hair (trichotillomania), hooded eyelids, high arched palate, thin long face and mild micrognathia. At age 12 years, she walked with the support of splints. Her height, weight and head circumference were 127 cm (−3.64 SD), 22.6 kg (−4.06 SD), and 52 cm (−0.94SD), respectively. Her features included dolicocephaly, hooded eyelids, intermittently disconjugate gaze, sparse hair, high palate and crowded dentition. Developmental assessment documented behavioral difficulties including repetitive and self-stimulatory behaviors, sensory issues such as repetitively rubbing her hands on the floor and/or licking them and mouthing objects, rigidity, communication deficits, difficulties with emotional regulation and aggression when frustrated. Her aggression included the self-injurious behaviors of dermatillomania, biting and trichotillomania. She communicated with a few words, signs, gestures and a picture exchange communication system (PECS). She developed menses at age 13 years."

    1. Here, we report the identification and cDNA analysis of four intronic and three exonic OPA1 gene mutations that cause a variety of splicing defects including activation of cryptic splice sites in either flanking exon or intron sequences, and a leaky splicing mutation. Our results show that cDNA analysis is of prime importance for the full evaluation of the effect of putative splicing mutations in the OPA1 gene.

A fibroblast line from this patient with the infantile form of the disease was investigated for mutations by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing of PCR products. A nonsense mutation was found which generated a stop codon at codon 284. The study investigated the steady-state level of mRNA produced by cells containing stop codons using a competitive polymerase chain reaction technique and found that at codon 284, the mRNA levels were 0.8%, as percent of normal per single gene dose.

At the time of birth, the mother was 29 years old; the father was 33 years old.Family history was negative for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Patient birth body parameters were the following: body weight: 3380 g (50 pc); body length: 54 cm (<95 pc); occipital frontal circumference: 31 cm (<3 pc). Apgar scores were 10 points at 1 and 5 min of life.Presented girl displayed normal, uneventful postnatal adaptation and development from birth to 5 months of life.At 22 weeks, directly after third dose-vaccination with DTaP (Infanrix-Hexa), motor and cognitive regression, deterioration of eye contact, and the lack of a smile were noticed. Consequently, further vaccinations were suspended. At the age of 18 months, further developmental regression became apparent. She was intensively rehabilitated, but no progress was observed. In clinical evaluation, she could not stand up or walk independently and she could pronounce a few simple syllables and try to combine them into words. Detailed clinical observations from 1.5 to 10 years of age are described in supplementary data.At the age of 10 years, she had not acquired the ability to walk; cognitive development remains at a low level. Summary of neurological examinations showed global developmental delay, tetraparesis with hypotonia and symmetrical tendon reflexes, limited eye contact, postural defects including a “rounded” back, protruding shoulder blades, and funnel-shaped chest (Fig. ​(Fig.1aIII–IV).1aIII–IV). Phenotypic evaluation of the face revealed slight ptosis, a tendency to open the mouth and tilt the head back, without other specific features of dysmorphism (Fig. ​(Fig.11aI).Open in a separate windowFig. 1a Photographic documentation of the patient at age 10 years old. b COQ5 cDNA gel electrophoresis. c Graphical representation of the splicing products of the COQ5 gene in a patient, her parents, and healthy control. For more details, please see supplementary dataExploratory assaysMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain at the age of 8 years revealed clear cortico-subcortical atrophy of the cerebellum–enlargement of the 4th ventricle and widening of cerebellar sulci (Supp.Fig.1a-d, arrows) as compared to the normal appearance in a healthy individual (Supp.Fig.1e-h, arrows). The cerebellar sulci were wider in our patient at age 8 years than at 18 months, as well as in comparison to an age-matched healthy control. This indicates progressive atrophy of cerebellar tissue. Atrophy involved both vermis and cerebellar hemispheres. The supratentorial structures are normal. Echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasonography, and ophthalmologic investigation were also uneventful.

    1. In this study we report the first development of a denaturating high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) protocol for the rapid and accurate detection of recently described mutations in the IDUA gene. Optimal PCR running and dHPLC partial denaturing conditions for mutation detection were established for each PCR amplicon corresponding to 14 IDUA exons and their adjacent intronic/flanking sequences. Results: A total of 12 different mutations, 5 nonsense, 4 missense, 1 deletion, and 2 splice site (intron), in 10 MPS I patients were screened. All mutations revealed a distinct dHPLC pattern thus enabling their accurate detection.

    1. In a study of 426 unrelated VHL patients, 111 were discovered to have alterations in the VHL gene. 18 novel variants were identified in VHL patients, but none were present in 200 unaffected control individuals. DNA samples from peripheral blood leukocytes underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis of the entire coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries. The L153P (c.458T>C) germline missense mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 36 yr old VHL patient with renal cysts as well as central nervous system and retinal hemangioblastoma (index case 191).

    2. The cytosine replaced the 716th guanine on four patients and three carriers of virulence gene from the first family, which made the 168th serine replaced by threonine.

      This study shows the clinical characteristics of three large Chinese families with VHL disease and evaluates the consequence of the genetic test for the diagnosis of VHL disease and clinical screening of the family members. DNA is extracted from peripheral blood in 43 members from three large families with VHL disease and amplified by PCR to three exons of the VHL gene. The PCR products were directly sequenced and the mutations compared with the Human Gene Mutation Database. The ages of the patients who are given the initial diagnosis ranged from 16 to 47 years (mean: 31 years), and the mean time was 17.3 months (2-30 months) from the emergence of the symptom to patients' first visit. Furthermore, the gender distribution was 20% female (4) and 80% male (16). Von Hippel-Lindau disease is seen in 12 members of a Chinese family. Molecular diagnosis is confirmed in only 7 family members. The proband (male; deceased) has retinal capillary hemangioma; hemangioblastoma, 2 of his brothers (deceased) have pancreatic cancer, a third brother has renal cancer and hemangioblastoma, and 5 nephews have hemangioblastoma. There are three members who are asymptomatic carriers, but are young and may be before the age of onset. The mutation p.S168T (c.503G>C) was referred to in the paper by c.716G>C due to a difference in transcript sequence. At least 5 additional members had VHL phenotypes, but had all passed away before genetic testing. It could be assumed their genetic mutation due to pedigree showing future linear relations of this mutation all in generation III. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' based on segregation results, 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in gene where missense variants are common mechanism of disease, 'PP4' because the patients phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    1. c.240 T>Gap.S80R

      53 patients with a molecularly confirmed VHL mutation (by PCR through EDTA-anticoagulated blood) and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (ICT) were collected from the German NET-Registry and the German VHL-registry. An additional 296 patients were stated in this paper with a VHL associated germline mutation, but without pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 3 patients were found to have the above mutation (c.240T>G). 1 was a VHL patient with an ICT (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) taken from the VHL-registry. The other 2 patients were stated to be in this study with the given mutation, however no ICT. Other clinical manifestations outside of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

    2. Germline mutations were identified in 300/469 (63%) of the families tested; 137 distinct intragenic germline mutations were detected.

      Germline mutational data on VHL was gathered from various countries to assess variation in germline mutations that produce disease within different populations. Families were grouped according to three possible outcomes of disease: renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma with pheochromocytoma, or pheochromocytoma alone. SSCP and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis identified mutations in 300/469 (63%) of families affected with VHL. This germline familial VHL mutation (S72Pfs*87 (c.214delT)) was taken from the Cambridge, Department of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 112CA. It was reported in the paper as c.427delT due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 3, this mutation is found in VHL family without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma.

      VHL germline mutation carriers who had an ophthalmologic examination at the Erasmus Medical Centre or the Rotterdam Eye Hospital between 1984 and 2017, and were diagnosed with retinal hemangioblastoma (RH) were included in this study. A diagnosis of RH was based on the clinical appearance of a vasoproliferative retinal tumour. Peripheral blood samples from every member that had clinically suspected VHL disease of each family were collected for VHL mutation analysis. A total of 21 patients from 10 families were included on the basis of both a VHL germline mutation and ocular manifestations. Copy number analyses were carried out by multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Mutations were described as one of the following two groups: truncating (complete deletion, partial deletion, nonsense mutation, splice site mutation, duplication and insertion) or missense. Ocular manifestations were not reported on an individual level, but rather were broken down based on the two groups. From Pedigree (family) 3, one individual was suspected of VHL disease and mutational analysis revealed an in-frame germline P76del(c.227_229del) deletion. This individual had RH development.

    2. VHL kindreds for germline mutations and calculated the age related tumour risks for different classes of VHL gene mutations.

      In a study of 138 unrelated VHL families, 109 germline mutations were found. Missense mutations were more frequently found in families with pheochromocytoma (PC). Deletions, nonsense, and frameshift mutations were more frequently found in families without PC. Large deletions and mutations predicted to cause truncated protein were associated with lower risk of PC. The mutation D121Mfs*38 (c.361delG) was referred to in the paper by c.574delG due to a difference in transcript sequence. This FS mutation found in a VHL family without PC (family ID 147).

    1. One hundred and sixteen unrelated VHL disease patients have been investigated by molecular genetic analysis. Twenty-two of these were previously shown to have germline deletions on Southern analysis, and in the present study the remaining 94 patients were screened for intragenic mutations via SSCP and heteroduplex analysis of 855 bp of the VHL coding sequence and 800 bp of the 3' UTR. An intragenic mutation was identified in 55 (59%) out of 94 patients without germline deletions on Southern analysis. In all patients with multiple affected family members the missense mutation segregated with the disease. Large deletions or intragenic mutations predicted to cause a truncated protein were found in 36 of 53 families without pheochromocytoma (VHL type 1) and 2 of 12 families with pheochromocytoma (VHL type 2). This study also investigated the frequency of different mutation classes between kindreds with and without pheochromocytoma. The p.N131Pfs*3 (c.390_391delTA) deletion (noted as p.201FS (c.603delTA) in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used) was found in at least one patient in kindred 64. Pheochromocytoma was not observed in any members of this kindred (implying the affected patient(s) had VHL disease type 1). No other familial phenotypic information could be inferred from the paper.

The L153Cfs*6 (c.457del) deletion (noted as p.224fs (c.670delC) in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used) was found in at least one patient in kindred 41, and at least one patient in kindred 99. Pheochromocytoma was not observed in any members of kindred 41 (implying the affected patient(s) had VHL disease type 1). No familial phenotypic information could be inferred from the paper for kindred 99.

      The patient cohort consisted of 57 patients (26 male and 31 female) from Southern Italy, most of whom (55 of 57) presented with solitary HGB of the CNS: 6 were syndromic and 51 were apparently sporadic. 8 patients had germline VHL mutations. Both peripheral blood and tumor tissue samples were sequenced using Big Dye Terminator Ready Reaction mix v.1.1 (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA). Sequencing reactions were loaded on an ABI 3100 capillary sequencer (Life Technologies) and analyzed using the Sequencing Analysis software v.3.7 (PE Applied Biosystems, Grand Island, NY). One Italian patient (Case ID HGB-19) with a germline missense mutation (c.341G>T; p.Gly114Val) in the VHL gene was diagnosed at age 32 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and developed spinal hemangioblastoma at 40Y. The patient had no family history of VHL disease.

    1. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed and confirmed that higher risk of pheochromocytoma is associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid or that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL). Age-related risks of retinal hemangoblastomas and renal cell carcinoma were higher in patients with nonsense or frameshift mutations. Southern blot and/or MLPA analysis by whole blood detected this mutation. c.194delC was found in a VHL type 2 family of 7 individuals. Three family members had retinal angiomas, 2 had hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum, 2 had renal cell carcinoma, and one had pheochromocytoma.

    2. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed. Higher risk of pheochromocytoma was associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid (p<=0.004) than for patients with missense mutations that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL) or other loss of function mutations (either germline deletions or truncating mutations). A missense mutation (c.383T>G), affecting residue within the pVHL protein core, was found in a VHL type 1 family of 3 with 1 patient with retinal hemangioblastomas at 19Y and 1 patient with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at 24Y.

      Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct sequencing and universal primer quantitative fluorescent multiplex–PCR, mutations in VHL gene in 19 VHL disease families recruited from the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital in the period from 2009 to 2012 were examined. One proband and their sister (family 1) were found to carry the mutation c.292T>A in exon 1 of the VHL gene. The proband presented with hemangioblastoma at age 35, retinal angioma and pancreatic cysts or tumours at age 37, and renal cell carcinoma at age 39. The patient had positive VHL family history and their first sister also carried this germline mutation but was asympromatic. Patient's mother did not undergo genetic testing but had a hemangioblastoma at age 50 and a pancreatic cyst or tumour at age 62. Another one of the patient's sisters presented with hemangioblastoma (age 40), renal cell carcinoma (age 43), and pancreatic cysts or tumours (age 43). This patient died before diagnosis. The proband's brother also died before diagnosis and presented with hemangioblastoma and retinal angioma at age 27.This family was previously published in 29330336.

    1. In a study of 114 unrelated VHL families, 85 germline mutations were found. VHL mutations were detected in affected family members, but not in unaffected family members or 96 normal individuals. This frameshift mutation was found in 2 VHL type 1 family of 8 and of 7 individuals (family ID 2956; 2693), using PCR and SSCP sequencing. The mutation of c.226_228delTTC was referred to in the paper by c.439delTTC due to a difference in transcript sequence. In the first, Family 2956, 2/8 members had a retinal angioma (hemangioma), 4 had RCC, and 5 members had CNS hemangioblastoma. In Family 2693 3/7 members had a retinal angioma (hemangioma), 3 had RCC, and 3 members had CNS hemangioblastoma. This is possibly previously published in PMID 9829911, as well as one member in a future publication: PMID: 32179488

    1. Ninety-eight individuals were tested for VHL mutations--23 symptomatic and 75 asymptomatic individuals belonging to 16 families. Seven of the families had definite clinical criteria of VHL disease, five had sporadic hemangioblastoma, and four had CNS hemangioblastoma combined with minor visceral signs. Molecular genetic testing identified five germline mutations in six of the definite VHL families (sensitivity 85%), but none in the possible VHL and sporadic hemangioblastoma cases; four of these mutations had been previously described and one is a novel mutation present in two unrelated families. After patients carrying the mutation were identified, they underwent clinical screening and asymptomatic VHL-related lesions were identified in 43%.

      Patients presenting with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at the Mexican National institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery to were prospectively enrolled alongside family members, resulting in 84 patients in 7 families with VHL mutations, and subjected to peripheral blood draw and PCR-based mutation screening, as well as full clinical screening for symptomatic individuals. 19 individuals across two families (Family B and Family C) presented with a c.298dupA mutation, leading to a frameshift (p.T100Nfs 32). Among these individuals, 2 in Family B and 6 in Family C were asymptomatic at the time of screening (ages 2, 7, 9, 12, 13, 17, 20, and 29). Of the 4 symptomatic individuals in Family B, one presented at 44 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma and bilateral retinal angiomas; one presented at 16 with 4 cerebellar hemangioblastomas, 1 bulbar hemangioblastoma, 1 spinal hemangioblastoma, bilateral retinal angiomas, pancreatic cysts, and kidney cysts; one presented at age 26 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, bilateral retinal angiomas, pancreatic cysts, kidney cysts, and renal cell carcinoma; and one presented at 28 with 1 cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Of the 7 symptomatic individuals in Family C, one presented at 45 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, pancreatic cysts, kidney cysts, and renal cell carcinoma; one presented at age 21 with epididymal cystadenoma; one presented at 36 with 2 cerebellar hemangioblastomas, pancreatic cysts, kidney cysts, hepatic cysts, adrenal cysts, and bilateral renal cell carcinomas; one presented at 20 with spinal hemangioblastoma, pancreatic cysts, and kidney cysts; one presented at 13 with 2 spinal hemangioblastomas, one presented at 13 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, one presented at 30 with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, pancreatic cysts, and kidney cysts. They were previously published in PMID: 20064270, however with a reportedly different variant: p.G34Rfs98 (c.99_100insA).

    2. Germline mutations were found in 20 Brazilian VHL probands and their families. The F76del (c.226_228del) germline mutation was found in a VHL type 1 family of 5 affected individuals (VHL family 1). Of the 5 affected family members four patients had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and 2 had renal carcinoma. In family 1 genetic testing was performed in a non-symptomatic boy, since no relatives were alive for testing. Although many members of this family had already presented with HB, the diagnosis of VHL was confirmed after necropsy of the proband’s father, who died at 37 years from complications following emergency surgery for cerebellar HB. The necropsy showed many occult lesions related to VHL, including RC, multiple pancreatic and renal cysts, and cystadenoma of the epididymis. This variant was not found in 120 alleles from normal subjects in the Brazilian population.

    1. Germline mutations in 45 unrelated Japanese VHL patients were determined from blood samples using PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses. The authors reported a nucleotide deletion (i.e. 476G>C) which coincides with legacy variant nomenclature (AF010238.1) and was mapped to c.263G>C (NM_000551.3). PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses of the DNA from family members showed that mutations were segregated with disease phenotype in VHL families, although this data was not shown. Data on the presence of retinal angioma, CNS Hb, RCC, and Pheo was available. Case 8 had p.Trp88Ser mutation. All 5 examined family members were affected with renal cell carcinoma. Other demographics of the members were not described.

      Clinical case report of a 32-year-old male presenting with hematuria. Blood and tissue samples were isolated and samples were paired-end multiplex sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform to a median target depth of >100×.A germline de novo nonsense mutation, c.358A>T leading to an early stop codon, was confirmed on exon 3 of the VHL gene. The man also presented with multiple renal cysts; renal cell carcinoma; capillary retinal angiomas; brain hemangioma; and spinal hemangioma. Confirmation of paternity and maternity was not described, therefore assumed de novo.

RPE atrophy was defined as clearly demarcated definitely decreased fundus autofluorescence (FAF) under short-wavelength excitation light (488 nm) in combination with hypertransmission in optical coherence tomography (OCT).31,32 Insufficient pupil dilation, additional retinal pathology, previous retinal treatment, or other ocular comorbidities substantially affecting visual function or image quality (e.g., significant media opacity, amblyopia or optic nerve disease) led to exclusion from the study. The diagnosis of AMD was based on soft drusen and other retinal alterations consistent with the disease,9 while the diagnosis of STGD1 was based on (1) a compatible phenotype (yellow-white flecks that correlated with hyperautofluorescent flecks on FAF imaging) and (2) the presence of at least one mutated ABCA4 allele as well as the absence of mutations in peripherin-2 (PRPH2). To avoid potential confounding, patients exhibiting “diffuse-trickling geographic atrophy” were not included, as choroidal insufficiency has been previously implicated in the pathogenesis.33–37  Genetic testing was conducted at the Institute of Human Genetics, University of Regensburg (n = 7), and at the Center for Human Genetics Bioscientia, Ingelheim (n = 6). Analysis of all coding exons of the ABCA4 and PRPH2 genes was done by either direct chain-terminating dideoxynucleotide Sanger sequencing, a custom-designed GeneChip CustomSeq Resequencing Array (RetChip; Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA), or next-generation sequencing (Regensburg, n = 5; Bioscientia, n = 6). Two patients (#1 and #3) were screened for known mutations/polymorphisms using the Asper Ophthalmics ABCR400 microarray followed by Sanger sequencing to confirm selected variants.38 Only STGD1 patients with a minimum age of onset (first reported subjective symptoms) of 45 years were included as defined previously.38,39 Healthy subjects without retinal pathology served as controls.

    1. Mutation scanning and direct DNA sequencing of all 50 exons of ABCR were completed for 150 families segregating recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1). ABCR variations were identified in 173 (57%) disease chromosomes, the majority of which represent missense amino acid substitutions. These ABCR variants were not found in 220 unaffected control individuals (440 chromosomes) but do cosegregate with the disease in these families with STGD1, and many occur in conserved functional domains. Missense amino acid substitutions located in the amino terminal one-third of the protein appear to be associated with earlier onset of the disease and may represent misfolding alleles. The two most common mutant alleles, G1961E and A1038V, each identified in 16 of 173 disease chromosomes, composed 18.5% of mutations identified. G1961E has been associated previously, at a statistically significant level in the heterozygous state, with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Clinical evaluation of these 150 families with STGD1 revealed a high frequency of AMD in first- and second-degree relatives. These findings support the hypothesis that compound heterozygous ABCR mutations are responsible for STGD1 and that some heterozygous ABCR mutations may enhance susceptibility to AMD.

    1. Classification of noncanonical splice site variants according to the splice defects The percentage of correctly spliced ABCA4 RNA product for NCSS variants was calculated by using a capillary electrophoresis system (Fig. 4; Supplemental Table S3; Supplemental Fig. S5). Three variants, c.4634G>A, c.5196+3_5196+8del, and c.5585−10T>C, showed 100% correctly spliced ABCA4 mRNAs. We could rule out pathogenicity for the last two variants but not for c.4634G>A p.(Ser1545Asn), as this variant is significantly enriched in >3000 Caucasian STGD1 patients compared to the non-Finnish ExAC population (Cornelis et al. 2017). Sixteen variants showed between 4.3% and 79.6% normal RNA and were tentatively classified as severe, moderately severe, and mild, while the remaining 26 NCSS variants did not show any normal RNA and were thus deemed severe variants. For c.2382+5G>C and c.2588G>C, no quantification was performed as the wild-type BA12 clone also showed exon skipping. Based on the Sanger sequence validation, we were able to annotate all the variants at the RNA level and predict their effect at the protein level (Table 1). Figure 4. Open in a new tab Percentages of remaining normal ABCA4 transcripts due to noncanonical splice site variants based on capillary electrophoresis system analyses. The percentages of normal ABCA4 transcript for 45 noncanonical splice site variants are represented by black bars. Nineteen variants showed varying fractions (4.3%–100%) of correct ABCA4 mRNA. Four of them also result in missense changes as depicted, but only p.(Ser1545Asn) and p.(Lys2160Glu) are likely to have an effect on protein function, as significant amounts of ABCA4 protein will be produced. For the remaining 26 variants (in the square box), no residual RNA was observed. (#) For this variant, densitometric scanning was performed.Table 1. In vitro tested noncanonical splice site variants and their observed RNA and predicted protein effects Open in a new tabWe correlated the predicted effect of the NCSS variants with the phenotypes in reported cases and, when the variants were not present in a homozygous state, with the severity of the second allele. For 25 of 47 variants, sufficient clinical data were available, and in all these cases, our predicted effect of the NCSS variants correlated with the observed phenotypes (Supplemental Table S4).

      RT-PCR of midigenes demonstrated that this variant impacts splicing by causing a deletion (r.5461_5714del) which is predicted to result in a frameshift (p.Thr1821Aspfs*6). This variant showed 0% correctly spliced ABCA4 mRNA. This frameshift variant introduces a premature stop codon between codons 1-2255 (PVS1(RNA); 29162642). There do appear to be alternative splice products (supplemental figure s2), where exon 39 or 40, or both 39 and 40, are skipped, but in all cases, this leads to a frameshift.

    1. Among 161 patients with a Stargardt-related phenotype previously assessed with the commercial ABCA4 mutation microarray, we analyzed the ABCA4 gene with High-resolution melting (HRM) in patients in whom the array analysis identified either a heterozygous mutation (n = 50) or no mutation (n = 30).

    1. The study included index patients with ABCA4-related retinopathy and their parents. ABCA4-related retinopathy was diagnosed based on characteristic findings on indirect ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography, and conventional fundus AF imaging. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of biallelic mutations in ABCA4, and segregation analysis was carried out with samples of the parents. All index patients and their parents underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp examination, and indirect ophthalmoscopy with dilated pupils. Axial length and corneal curvature were measured using the IOL-Master 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). Healthy subjects without ocular disease served as controls. To minimize an influence of factors known to alter qAF measurements,22 exclusion criteria were age ≥ 65 years, ethnicity other than Caucasian, significant lens opacities, dilated pupil diameter below 7 mm, unstable fixation, refractive error > ±6 diopters (spherical equivalent), and any other additional known ocular pathology or prior intraocular surgery.

      SupplementalData:

    1. Sixty-six individuals representing 54 families were studied (Supplementary Material, Table S1). All individuals were found to harbor two ABCA4 variants likely to cause the retinal disease (18,20–26). In 40 families (74%), independent segregation of the two alleles was demonstrated. The ages at the time of their first visit ranged from 9 to 74 years (mean = 35.9, median = 35.2 years); in the majority of individuals (36/66=55%), data were available from a second visit that occurred on average 8.7 years (range=2–20 years, median = 6.9 years) after the first visit.

      This variant was found in 6 different families (F32, F33, F40, F41, F42, and F43).

      PP4: F32: Patient #37 is a 31yo male, ADI=4yo, dx of CRD F33: Patient #38 is a 32yo female, ADI=>32yo, dx of STGD, segregation in the family but no further details F40: Patient #45 is a 65yo male, ADI=26yo, dx of CRD, segregation of homozygous alleles with disease was demonstrated in 2 affected siblings in Family 40. F41: Patient #46 is a 38yo female, ADI=>38yo, dx of STGD F42: Patient #47 is a 45yo female, ADI=>53yo, dx of STGD F43: Patient #48 is a 55yo female, ADI=46yo, dx of STGD

      PM3: In family 40, the proband was homozygous. In the other families, the variant was in compound heterozygosity with p.A1038V;p.L541P (F32); p.A1038V (F33); p.V1686M (F41); p.G1961E (F42); p.K2172R (F43).

    1. The latter finding suggests that loss of significance is likely due to lack of statistical power caused by the reduced number of individuals in the subsequent analyses (from n = 335 to n = 247 to n = 197 patients, Supplementary Table S5).

      3 STGD patients have this variant but no specific clinical details (supplemental table s5).

    1. Figure 3: Protein yield and ATP-binding capacity of 37 naturally occurring ABCR variants produced in transiently transfected 293 cells.Membranes were analysed by immunoblotting with affinity-purified anti-ABCR antibodies (top) and photoaffinity labelling with α-32P azido-ATP (bottom). We loaded 1 μg (immunoblotting) or 2.5 μg (azido-ATP labelling) of total membrane protein, as determined by Bradford assay, per track. The mutations that reside in NBD-1 and NBD-2 are indicated above the corresponding lanes. The relative levels of the different variant proteins and the extent of azido-ATP labelling were observed to be highly reproducible in multiple independent experiments. ABCR (large arrowhead); an endogenous 55-kD protein (small arrowhead) serves as an internal control for azido-ATP labelling. Molecular mass standards are shown on the left in kD.Full size imageThe combination of immunoblotting and azido-ATP labelling revealed defects in more than 75% of the variants tested. Among the variants with reduced yield and/or ATP binding are G863A and delG863, the two protein products of a guanosine2588→cytosine mutation that both generates a glycine-to-alanine substitution at codon 863 and activates a cryptic splice acceptor site in exon 17 that results in the removal of codon 863 from approximately 50% of the transcripts10. This is the most common allele among STGD patients in Northern Europe, representing roughly 20% of disease-associated alleles. It is also present at a frequency of approximately 3% in the general population in Northern Europe and approximately 1% in the United States population7,9,10. Genotype-phenotype correlations suggest that it is a mild allele and that it leads to STGD only when paired with a more severe allele10. Relative to wild type, the G863A variant is subtantially impaired and the delG863 variant is mildly impaired (Fig. 3).

      This variant was transfected into HEK 293 cells and appears to show reduced expression and ATP-binding capacity, but no quantities were provided

    2. The two codon 863 variants, G863A and delG863, show a decrease in both basal and retinal-stimulated ATPase, with G863A showing the greater decrease (Fig. 4d).

      In HEK293 cells, G863A was purified, reconstituted into membranes, and tested for basal and retinal-stimulated ATPase activities. G863A was shown to have reduced basal and retinal-stimulated ATPase (Fig 4d)

Finally, we examined whether the phenotype‐associated known/candidate pathogenic variants could explain the patient's disease, andif the MAF in population‐matched control data (8.3kJPN) was relatedto disease prevalence. Patients were classified as “Solved” if theirgenotype was consistent with their clinical phenotype. Patients wereclassified as “Partially solved” when a heterozygous known/candidatepathogenic variant was detected in a recessive allele, but without anadditional variant in trans. Patients were categorized as “Unsolved” iftheir genotypes exhibited either no candidate pathogenic variants ormultiple heterozygous pathogenic variants that did not explain thephenotype clearly.

    1. Through a meta-analysis of published literature38,39, we also found that individuals with inherited retinal disease caused by recessive ABCA4 deficiency (Stargardt disease or cone rod dystrophy) are likely to have ASO-amenable variants in similar proportions (Supplementary Note 7 and Supplementary Tables 15 and 16), leading us to suggest that around 15% is a reasonable first estimate for other recessive genetic conditions.

      This variant is found in supplemental table 16, but is referencing the cases from PMID 32619608

    1. The 1,000 probands in this study came to our clinic from 40 different states, the District of Columbia and seven foreign countries (Supplemental Figure 1). Four hundred eighty-nine were female and 511 were male. The average age at entry into the study was 37.3 years (36.3 years for males and 38.5 years for females); the range was 8 months to 88 years. Plausible disease-causing genotypes were identified in 760 of these probands, 393 males and 367 females (Supplemental Table 1). The average age at entry into the study was very slightly younger for those in whom a disease-causing genotype was identified (34.9 years for males and 37.7 years for females).

    1. We performed diagnostic NGS testing for 537 patients (287 males and 250 females) referred with clinical indications of IRD. All of the 537 individuals were initially referred on a singleton basis.Phenotype classification IRDs have a diverse spectrum of overlapping clinical presentation, which can vary by age of onset, extent of visual impairment, nature of disease progression and involvement of additional clinical features. We grouped all referred patients into 10 distinct clinical classifications (see online supplementary table S3). The most common referral was non-syndromic RCD/RP (n=250). The most common referral of syndromic disease was Usher syndrome (n=38), a disorder characterised by neurosensory hearing loss and visual impairment. There were eight cases of suspected syndromic ciliopathies referred, including seven cases of BBS.

    1. STGD in 48 patients (55%) was explained by recessive ABCA4 mutations (supplemental table S2). Only 22 patients could be solved using previously known STGD causing mutations. However, we identified 35 novel mutations in ABCA4 contributing to the diagnosis of 25 STGD patients. This contained 10 novel mutations leading to amino acid substitutions already known to cause disease and mutations known to cause diseases other than STGD. In addition, we identified 13 novel nonsense mutations. The remaining 12 novel mutations are well justified, and novel mutations were either completely absent or extremely rare in controls.
