We report the identification of a recurrent, 520-kb 16p12.1 microdeletion associated with childhood developmental delay. The microdeletion was detected in 20 of 11,873 cases compared with 2 of 8,540 controls (P = 0.0009, OR = 7.2) and replicated in a second series of 22 of 9,254 cases compared with 6 of 6,299 controls (P = 0.028, OR = 2.5). Most deletions were inherited, with carrier parents likely to manifest neuropsychiatric phenotypes compared to non-carrier parents (P = 0.037, OR = 6). Probands were more likely to carry an additional large copy-number variant when compared to matched controls (10 of 42 cases, P = 5.7 x 10(-5), OR = 6.6). The clinical features of individuals with two mutations were distinct from and/or more severe than those of individuals carrying only the co-occurring mutation. Our data support a two-hit model in which the 16p12.1 microdeletion both predisposes to neuropsychiatric phenotypes as a single event and exacerbates neurodevelopmental phenotypes in association with other large deletions or duplications. Analysis of other microdeletions with variable expressivity indicates that this two-hit model might be more generally applicable to neuropsychiatric disease.

- Abstract
While inherited hemizygous variants in PHF6 cause X-linked recessive Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS) in males, de novo heterozygous variants in females are associated with an overlapping but distinct phenotype, including moderate to severe intellectual disability, characteristic facial dysmorphism, dental, finger and toe anomalies and linear skin pigmentation. By personal communication with colleagues, we assembled eleven additional females with BFLS due to variants in PHF6. We confirm the distinct phenotype to include variable intellectual disability, recognizable facial dysmorphism and other anomalies. We observed skewed X-inactivation in blood and streaky skin pigmentation compatible with functional mosaicism. Variants occurred de novo in ten individuals, of whom one was only mildly affected and transmitted it to her more severely affected daughter. The mutational spectrum comprises a 2-exon deletion, five truncating, one splice-site and three missense variants, the latter all located in the PHD2 domain and predicted to severely destabilize the domain structure. This observation supports the hypothesis of more severe variants in females contributing to gender-specific phenotypes in addition to or in combination with effects of X-inactivation and functional mosaicism. Therefore, our findings further delineate the clinical and mutational spectrum of female BFLS and provide further insights into possible genotype-phenotype correlations between females and males. Keywords: Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome; PHF6; X-chromosomal; de novo.

We provide the first study of two siblings with a novel autosomal recessive LRP1-related syndrome identified by rapid genome sequencing and overlapping multiple genetic models. The patients presented with respiratory distress, congenital heart defects, hypotonia, dysmorphology, and unique findings, including corneal clouding and ascites. Both siblings had compound heterozygous damaging variants, c.11420G>C (p.Cys3807Ser) and c.12407T>G(p.Val4136Gly) in LRP1, in which segregation analysis helped dismiss additional variants of interest. LRP1 analysis using multiple human/mouse data sets reveals a correlation to patient phenotypes of Peters plus syndrome with additional severe cardiomyopathy and blood vessel development complications linked to neural crest cells.

We delineate a KMT2E-related neurodevelopmental disorder on the basis of 38 individuals in 36 families. This study includes 31 distinct heterozygous variants in KMT2E (28 ascertained from Matchmaker Exchange and three previously reported), and four individuals with chromosome 7q22.2-22.23 microdeletions encompassing KMT2E (one previously reported). Almost all variants occurred de novo, and most were truncating. Most affected individuals with protein-truncating variants presented with mild intellectual disability. One-quarter of individuals met criteria for autism. Additional common features include macrocephaly, hypotonia, functional gastrointestinal abnormalities, and a subtle facial gestalt. Epilepsy was present in about one-fifth of individuals with truncating variants and was responsive to treatment with anti-epileptic medications in almost all. More than 70% of the individuals were male, and expressivity was variable by sex; epilepsy was more common in females and autism more common in males. The four individuals with microdeletions encompassing KMT2E generally presented similarly to those with truncating variants, but the degree of developmental delay was greater. The group of four individuals with missense variants in KMT2E presented with the most severe developmental delays. Epilepsy was present in all individuals with missense variants, often manifesting as treatment-resistant infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Microcephaly was also common in this group. Haploinsufficiency versus gain-of-function or dominant-negative effects specific to these missense variants in KMT2E might explain this divergence in phenotype, but requires independent validation. Disruptive variants in KMT2E are an under-recognized cause of neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

- Abstract
Sleep apnea is a common disorder that represents a global public health burden. KCNK3encodes TASK-1, a K+channel implicated in the control of breathing, but its link with sleep apnea remains poorly understood. Here we describe a new developmental disorder with associated sleep apnea (developmental delay with sleep apnea, or DDSA) caused by rare de novo gain-of-function mutations in KCNK3. The mutations cluster around the ‘X-gate’, a gating motif that controls channel opening, and produce overactive channels that no longer respond to inhibition by G-protein-coupled receptor pathways. However, despite their defective X-gating, these mutant channels can still be inhibited by a range of known TASK channel inhibitors. These results not only highlight an important new role for TASK-1 K+channels and their link with sleep apnea but also identify possible therapeutic strategies.

- Abstract
The most frequent cause of isolated complex III deficits is mutations to the nuclear‐encoded ATPase BCS1L. Disease phenotypes are varied and can be as mild as Björnstad syndrome, characterized by pili torti and sensorineural hearing loss, or as severe as GRACILE syndrome, characterized by growth restriction, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and early death. BCS1L mutations are also linked to an undefined complex III deficiency, a heterogeneous condition generally involving low birth weight, renal and hepatic pathologies, hypotonia, and developmental delays. We analyzed all published patient cases of mutations to BCS1L and modeled the tertiary and quaternary structure of the BCS1L protein to map the location of disease‐causing BCS1L mutations. We show that higher order structural analysis can be used to understand the phenotype observed in a patient with the novel compound heterozygous c.550C>T(p.Arg184Cys) and c.838C>T(p.Leu280Phe) mutations. More broadly, higher order structural analysis reveals genotype–phenotype relationships within the intermediate complex III deficiency category that help to make sense of the spectrum of observed phenotypes. We propose a change in nomenclature that unifies the intermediate phenotype under "BCS1L Mitopathies". Patterns in genotype–phenotype correlations within these BCS1L Mitopathies are evident in the context of the tertiary and quaternary structure of BCS1L. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ciliopathies are an extensive group of autosomal recessive or X-linked disorders with considerable genetic and clinical overlap, which collectively share multiple organ involvement and may result in lethal or viable phenotypes. In large numbers of cases the genetic defect remains yet to be determined. The aim of this study is to describe the mutational frequency and phenotypic spectrum of the CEP120 gene. METHODS: Exome sequencing was performed in 145 patients with Joubert syndrome (JS), including 15 children with oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDVI) and 21 Meckel syndrome (MKS) fetuses. Moreover, exome sequencing was performed in one fetus with tectocerebellar dysraphia with occipital encephalocele (TCDOE), molar tooth sign and additional skeletal abnormalities. As a parallel study, 346 probands with a phenotype consistent with JS or related ciliopathies underwent next-generation sequencing-based targeted sequencing of 120 previously described and candidate ciliopathy genes. RESULTS: We present six probands carrying nine distinct mutations (of which eight are novel) in the CEP120 gene, previously found mutated only in Jeune asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (JATD). The CEP120-associated phenotype ranges from mild classical JS in four patients to more severe conditions in two fetuses, with overlapping features of distinct ciliopathies that include TCDOE, MKS, JATD and OFD syndromes. No obvious correlation is evident between the type or location of identified mutations and the ciliopathy phenotype. CONCLUSION: Our findings broaden the spectrum of phenotypes caused by CEP120 mutations that account for nearly 1% of patients with JS as well as for more complex ciliopathy phenotypes. The lack of clear genotype-phenotype correlation highlights the relevance of comprehensive genetic analyses in the diagnostics of ciliopathies.

34. Forces and interactions between nanoparticles for controlled structures

Mark, Paul R.
- Abstract
In recent years, structured nanomaterials have started to demonstrate their full potential in breakthrough technologies. However, in order to fulfill the expectations held for the field, it is necessary to carefully design these structures depending upon the targeted application. This tailoring process suggests that a feedback between theory and experiment could potentially allow us to obtain a structure as near optimum as possible. This thesis seeks to describe the theory and experiment needed to understand and control the interactions among nanoparticles to build a functional device for the efficient conversion of sunlight into energy. This thesis will discuss a simulation built from the existing theories explaining nanoparticle interactions and will present how its outcomes can be employed to describe real systems. The forces and dynamics of the nanoparticle system control the way their structure is formed. Thus, in order to understand and predict the formation of organized nanostructures, simulation of forces and dynamics and their corroboration with experimental results are necessary. These simulations will be extended to more complex systems, and the results will be used to provide a basis for the design of a specific nanoparticle structure, namely a linked linear chain. The envisioned application of the results achieved with the approach described is the design of a nanoparticle-based organic photovoltaic cell where linear chains of nanoparticles are tethered to the back of the device and then surrounded by a conducting polymer matrix to generate percolation pathways and improve light collection and scattering, and thus efficiency, of the device. To tether the chains in the cell, a foundation is needed to provide structure and control spacing. This foundation is designed and constructed by depositing gold nanoparticles on a substrate patterned using block-copolymer lithography to form a hexagonal array upon which the linear chains will be grown.

- Abstract
The placental-site trophoblastic tumor is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Although originally considered benign, it is now apparent that this lesion can be associated with aggressive clinical behavior. Our study examined the DNA ploidy status and clinicopathologic features of four new cases of placental-site trophoblastic tumor. Three cases demonstrated diploid DNA stemlines with S-phase fractions ranging from 6 to 16. These patients were alive and well at follow-up and had low-serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels. A fourth patient, who had a large tumor, demonstrated a tetraploid DNA peak with a prominent S-phase fraction. This patient exhibited an elevated serum hCG at limited follow-up. Flow cytometric DNA analysis may be a useful adjunct for the identification of placental-site trophoblastic tumors with malignant potential.

Background: Congenital malformations can be manifested as combinations of phenotypes that co-occur more often than expected by chance. In many such cases, it has proved difficult to identify a genetic cause. We sought the genetic cause of cardiac, vertebral, and renal defects, among others, in unrelated patients.Methods: We used genomic sequencing to identify potentially pathogenic gene variants in families in which a person had multiple congenital malformations. We tested the function of the variant by using assays of in vitro enzyme activity and by quantifying metabolites in patient plasma. We engineered mouse models with similar variants using the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 system.Results: Variants were identified in two genes that encode enzymes of the kynurenine pathway, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid 3,4-dioxygenase (HAAO) and kynureninase (KYNU). Three patients carried homozygous variants predicting loss-of-function changes in the HAAO or KYNU proteins (HAAO p.D162*, HAAO p.W186*, or KYNU p.V57Efs*21). Another patient carried heterozygous KYNU variants (p.Y156* and p.F349Kfs*4). The mutant enzymes had greatly reduced activity in vitro. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is synthesized de novo from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. The patients had reduced levels of circulating NAD. Defects similar to those in the patients developed in the embryos of Haao-null or Kynu-null mice owing to NAD deficiency. In null mice, the prevention of NAD deficiency during gestation averted defects.Conclusions: Disruption of NAD synthesis caused a deficiency of NAD and congenital malformations in humans and mice. Niacin supplementation during gestation prevented the malformations in mice. (Funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia and others.). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Pleiotropy is defined as the phenomenon of a single gene locus influencing two or more distinct phenotypic traits. However, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) deficiency through diet alone can cause multiple or single malformations in mice. Additionally, humans with decreased NAD+ production due to changes in pathway genes display similar malformations. Here, I hypothesize NAD+ deficiency as a pleiotropic mechanism for multiple malformation conditions, including limb-body wall complex (LBWC), pentalogy of Cantrell (POC), omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex, vertebral-anal-cardiac-tracheoesophageal fistula-renal-limb (VACTERL) association (hereafter VACTERL), oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS), Mullerian duct aplasia-renal anomalies-cervicothoracic somite dysplasia (MURCS), sirenomelia, and urorectal septum malformation (URSM) sequence, along with miscarriages and other forms of congenital malformation. The term Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder (CNDD) could be considered for patients with these malformations; however, it is important to emphasize there have been no confirmatory experimental studies in humans to prove this hypothesis. In addition, these multiple malformation conditions should not be considered individual entities for the following reasons: First, there is no uniform consensus of clinical diagnostic criteria and all of them fail to capture cases with partial expression of the phenotype. Second, reports of individuals consistently show overlapping features with other reported conditions in this group. Finally, what is currently defined as VACTERL is what I would refer to as a default label when more striking features such as body wall defects, caudal dysgenesis, or cloacal exstrophy are not present., (© 2022 The Author.

- Abstract
SLC6A1 is associated with an autosomal dominant early-onset seizure and epileptic encephalopathy associated with intellectual disability. We present a 2-yr-old girl with developmental delay and epilepsy, using a new computational filtering impact score to show the patient's variant ranks with other pathogenic variants. Genomic studies within the patient revealed a G443D variant of uncertain significance. Structural and evolutionary assessments establish this variant as a loss of function to the protein. Compiled metrics through our custom tools on sequence, structure, and protein dynamics combined with PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, SIFT, and Align-GVGD reveal this variant to rank in the top functional outcome changes relative to gnomAD, TOPMed, and ClinVar variants known to date. The patient was resistant to multiple epileptic drugs, finally finding that valproic acid controls the seizures. This is consistent with additional groups studying SLC6A1 variants within patients., (© 2020 Devries et al.; Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.)

- Abstract
We recently described a new neurodevelopmental syndrome (TAF1/MRXS33 intellectual disability syndrome) (MIM# 300966) caused by pathogenic variants involving the X-linked gene TAF1, which participates in RNA polymerase II transcription. The initial study reported eleven families, and the syndrome was defined as presenting early in life with hypotonia, facial dysmorphia, and developmental delay that evolved into intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have now identified an additional 27 families through a genotype-first approach. Familial segregation analysis, clinical phenotyping, and bioinformatics were capitalized on to assess potential variant pathogenicity, and molecular modelling was performed for those variants falling within structurally characterized domains of TAF1. A novel phenotypic clustering approach was also applied, in which the phenotypes of affected individuals were classified using 51 standardized Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms. Phenotypes associated with TAF1 variants show considerable pleiotropy and clinical variability, but prominent among previously unreported effects were brain morphological abnormalities, seizures, hearing loss, and heart malformations. Our allelic series broadens the phenotypic spectrum of TAF1/MRXS33 intellectual disability syndrome and the range of TAF1 molecular defects in humans. It also illustrates the challenges for determining the pathogenicity of inherited missense variants, particularly for genes mapping to chromosome X. This article is protected by copyright.

- Abstract
We delineate a KMT2E-related neurodevelopmental disorder on the basis of 38 individuals in 36 families. This study includes 31 distinct heterozygous variants in KMT2E (28 ascertained from Matchmaker Exchange and three previously reported), and four individuals with chromosome 7q22.2-22.23 microdeletions encompassing KMT2E (one previously reported). Almost all variants occurred de novo, and most were truncating. Most affected individuals with protein-truncating variants presented with mild intellectual disability. One-quarter of individuals met criteria for autism. Additional common features include macrocephaly, hypotonia, functional gastrointestinal abnormalities, and a subtle facial gestalt. Epilepsy was present in about one-fifth of individuals with truncating variants and was responsive to treatment with anti-epileptic medications in almost all. More than 70% of the individuals were male, and expressivity was variable by sex; epilepsy was more common in females and autism more common in males. The four individuals with microdeletions encompassing KMT2E generally presented similarly to those with truncating variants, but the degree of developmental delay was greater. The group of four individuals with missense variants in KMT2E presented with the most severe developmental delays. Epilepsy was present in all individuals with missense variants, often manifesting as treatment-resistant infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Microcephaly was also common in this group. Haploinsufficiency versus gain-of-function or dominant-negative effects specific to these missense variants in KMT2E might explain this divergence in phenotype, but requires independent validation. Disruptive variants in KMT2E are an under-recognized cause of neurodevelopmental abnormalities., (Copyright © 2019 American Society of Human Genetics. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: Ciliopathies are an extensive group of autosomal recessive or X-linked disorders with considerable genetic and clinical overlap, which collectively share multiple organ involvement and may result in lethal or viable phenotypes. In large numbers of cases the genetic defect remains yet to be determined. The aim of this study is to describe the mutational frequency and phenotypic spectrum of the CEP120 gene., Methods: Exome sequencing was performed in 145 patients with Joubert syndrome (JS), including 15 children with oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDVI) and 21 Meckel syndrome (MKS) fetuses. Moreover, exome sequencing was performed in one fetus with tectocerebellar dysraphia with occipital encephalocele (TCDOE), molar tooth sign and additional skeletal abnormalities. As a parallel study, 346 probands with a phenotype consistent with JS or related ciliopathies underwent next-generation sequencing-based targeted sequencing of 120 previously described and candidate ciliopathy genes., Results: We present six probands carrying nine distinct mutations (of which eight are novel) in the CEP120 gene, previously found mutated only in Jeune asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (JATD). The CEP120-associated phenotype ranges from mild classical JS in four patients to more severe conditions in two fetuses, with overlapping features of distinct ciliopathies that include TCDOE, MKS, JATD and OFD syndromes. No obvious correlation is evident between the type or location of identified mutations and the ciliopathy phenotype., Conclusion: Our findings broaden the spectrum of phenotypes caused by CEP120 mutations that account for nearly 1% of patients with JS as well as for more complex ciliopathy phenotypes. The lack of clear genotype-phenotype correlation highlights the relevance of comprehensive genetic analyses in the diagnostics of ciliopathies., (Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited.
