      *DiseaseAssertion: Cytopenia, Evans syndrome

      *FamilyInfo: Father had died post autologous HSCT for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. See "supplement 1".

      CasePresentingHPOs: ORPHA:1959

      CaseHPOFreeText: Severe Psoriatic Arthritis (only patient noted to have it within the study), received a Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and was one of nine affected mutation carriers still alive and one of three who was more than five years post-HSCT and currently well off all medication at the time of publication.

      *CaseNotHPOs: large phenotype table with unreported symptoms in table S1

      *CaseNotHPOFreeText: Patient was checked for a number of additional phenotypes but none were identified. Please see Supplementary table S1 for details.

      CasePreviousTesting: Genome-wide methods were not used (sequencing of CTLA4 was performed, but no reference made to other genes tested). Some families received whole-exome sequencing but we are unsure if this patient was included.

      GenotypingMethod: The authors imply that they sequenced the four exons of CTLA4.

      Thirty-five percent of affected mutation carriers (27/78) were under antibiotic prophylaxis. In one affected mutation carrier (the patient) treatment with vedolizumab (blocking α4β7 integrin) improved colitis, and in the same individual PRCA responded well to cyclosporine A.

    1. Comparably, the result of the CNTNAP2 rs2710102 associations with ASD studies (n = 4+current study) was also not significant [n = 7276; p = 0.26; OR = 1.028 (95 % CI 0.98–1.08), see Suppl. Table S6, Fig. 1b]

      Performed a meta-analysis of all data published on the rs2710102 CNTNAP2 variant up to 2015, and included Anney et al, 2012 (PMID: 20663923), Toma et al., 2013 (PMID: 23277129), Sampath et al, 2013 (PMID: 24147096), Poot et al., 2014 (PMID: 25337070 ), plus there current cohort.

      No significant increase in cases vs controls for CNTNAP2 rs2710102

      While this data does help support Contradictory evidence for CNTNAP2 involvement in autism, the lack of reporting of the total number of controls, as well as the number of cases and controls with the SNP prevents me from curating this information within the ClinGen gene curation interface.

    2. he meta-analysis of the CNTNAP2 rs7794745 associations with ASD studies (n = 5+current study) did not result in significant association with ASD in general [n = 8576; p = 0.112; OR = 1.023 (95 % CI 0.99–1.05); see Suppl. Table S5, Fig. 1a]. Since we detected some heterogeneity for the SNP rs7794745 according to the funnel plot (see Suppl. Figure S10), we performed an additional meta-analysis synthesis using the random effect model. However, no significant association with ASD was observed and OR were very similar as for the fixed-model [OR = 1.081 (95 % CI 0.976–1.196), p = 0.133; for details Suppl. Table S9a].

      Performed a meta-analysis of all data published on the rs7794745 CNTNAP2 variant up to 2015, and included Arking et al., 2008 (PMID:18179894), Li et al 2010 (PMID: 20414140), Anney et al, 2012 (PMID: 20663923), Toma et al., 2013 (PMID: 23277129), Sampath et al, 2013 (PMID: 24147096), plus there current cohort.

    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.

      Case#: Family AR321 proband, US, 6yo at onset

      DiseaseAssertion: Stargardt

      FamilyInfo: proband and two other siblings are affected

      CasePresentingHPOs: The essential and defining features of STGD were (1) pedigrees with at least one living affected individual compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance; (2) an ophthalmoscopically characteristic retinal disorder in families with both parents living; (3) bilateral central visual loss with both “beaten metal” elliptical foveal dystrophy and temporal pallor of the optic discs, documented by retinal color photography, with or without yellow-pigment epithelial flecks in the macular and/or retinal “near periphery”; and (4) the characteristic fluorescein angiographic feature of a dark choroid (Blacharski 1988).

      CaseHPOFreeText:

      CaseNotHPOs:

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: (1) evidence of autosomal dominant inheritance; (2) any history of night blindness, loss of peripheral vision, or "retinitis pigmentosa"; (3) cataracta complicata or cells in the vitreous; (4) substantially abnormal electroretinographic or electrooculographic responses; (5) no fluorescein angiography performed or no dark choroid documented; (6) neurological disease (including loss of cognition or seizures); 7) drug exposures (especially to antimalarial and agents known to cause crystalline retinopathies); or (8) any "atypical" maculopathies in which a unique diagnosis of STGD could not be established.
