The correlation between the fibrillin-1 genotype and the nature and severity of the clinical phenotype is studied. It is concluded that the correlation found between different mutation types and clinical manifestations might indicate different underlying pathophysiologic mechanism, both genetic and functional.

Marfan syndrome is the second most common inherited connective tissue disorder after osteogenesis imperfecta. Musculoskeletal abnormalities are at the forefront of the clinical picture and count among the major diagnostic criteria for Marfan syndrome, together with cardiovascular and ocular system involvement. Early diagnosis is of the utmost importance since preventive measures significantly increase life expectancy and prevent the occurrence of impairments and disabilities. Marfan syndrome is due to mutations within the fibrillin-1 gene, which is the main protein of the microfibril network. Microfibrils play a crucial role in the trophicity and function of elastic tissue. Multidisciplinary management of the patients and their families is vital.

The causal factors of aneurysm are not the same in the ascending and abdominal aorta. Atheroma is the dominant lesion in the abdominal aorta and genetic abnormalities predisposing to "mediacystic necrosis" are more frequently observed in ascending aortic aneurysms. The causal genetic abnormalities are multiple: abnormalities of fibrillin type I in Marfan's syndrome, collagen abnormalities in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, abnormalities of microfibrils, possible metallo-proteases, with many gene candidates. Finally, some ascending aortic aneurysms are associated with bicuspid aortic valves, some of which are familial. Familial factors are less evident in abdominal aortic aneurysms: genes favoring atheroma may be responsible but the factors which predispose to dilatation and non stenosis are not well known: they would seem to be general factors because the tendency to arterial dilatation is diffuse. In all cases, because of the high risk of disease in a close relative, a familial enquiry would seem to be justified with echocardiography for close relatives of affected subjects, especially when young and female.

Chimerism is the coexistence of more than one cell line in an individual, due to the fusion of originally separate zygotes. It has been very rarely described in humans. A 36-year-old woman referred for in vitro fertilization (IVF) had three embryos transferred leading to a monofetal pregnancy. Ultrasound examination at 17 weeks showed severe intrauterine growth retardation. Amniocentesis revealed a mixture of 46,XY and 46,XX clones. Histopathologic examination showed a dysmorphic fetus with female phenotype and severe growth retardation. Fusion of two of the three embryos (one male and one female) seems to be the most probable mechanism that could explain both cytogenetic and histopathologic observations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

- Abstract
Objective: We aimed to gather fetal cases carrying a 7q11.23 copy number variation (CNV) and collect precise clinical data to broaden knowledge of antenatal features in these syndromes., Methods: We retrospectively recruited unrelated cases with 7q11.23 deletion, known as Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), or 7q11.23 duplication who had prenatal ultrasound findings. We collected laboratory and clinical data, fetal ultrasound, cardiac ultrasound and fetal autopsy reports from 18 prenatal diagnostic centers throughout France., Results: 40 fetuses with WBS were collected and the most common features were intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) (70.0%, 28/40), cardiovascular defects (30.0%, 12/40), polyhydramnios (17.5%, 7/40) and protruding tongue (15.0%, 6/40). Fetal autopsy reports were available for 11 cases and were compared with ultrasound prenatal features. Four cases of fetuses with 7q11.23 microduplication were collected and prenatal ultrasound signs were variable and often isolated., Conclusion: This work strengthens the fact that 7q11.23 CNVs are associated with a broad spectrum of antenatal presentations. IUGR and cardiovascular defects were the most frequent ultrasound signs. By reporting the biggest series of antenatal WBS, we aim to better delineate distinctive signs in fetuses with 7q11.23 CNVs., (© 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) constitute an ever-growing group of genetic diseases affecting the glycosylation of proteins. CDG individuals usually present with severe multisystem disorders. MAN1B1-CDG is a CDG with nonspecific clinical symptoms such as intellectual deficiency and developmental delay. Although up to 40 affected individuals were described so far, its final diagnosis is not straightforward using common biochemical methods due to the trace-level accumulation of defective glycan structures. In this study, we present three unreported MAN1B1-CDG individuals and propose a decision tree to reach diagnosis using a panel of techniques ranging from exome sequencing to gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. The occurrence of MAN1B1-CDG in patients showing unexplained intellectual disability and development delay, as well as a particular transferrin glycosylation profile, can be ascertained notably using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization - time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis of endo -β-acetylglucosaminidase H-released serum N-glycans. In addition to reporting new pathogenic variants and additional clinical signs such as hypersialorrhea, we highlight particular biochemical features of MAN1B1-CDG with potential glycoprotein-specific glycosylation defects., (© 2021 The Authors.

- Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited disease affecting bone and dental mineralization due to loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene encoding the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Prenatal benign HPP (PB HPP) is a rare form of HPP characterized by in utero skeletal manifestations that progressively improve during pregnancy but often still leave symptoms after birth. Because the prenatal context limits the diagnostic tools, the main difficulty for clinicians is to distinguish PB HPP from perinatal lethal HPP, the most severe form of HPP. We previously attempted to improve genotype phenotype correlation with the help of a new classification of variants based on functional testing. Among 46 perinatal cases detected in utero or in the neonatal period for whose ALPL variants could be classified, imaging alone was thought to clearly diagnose severe lethal HPP in 35 cases, while in 11 cases, imaging abnormalities could not distinguish between perinatal lethal and BP HPP. We show here that our classification of ALPL variants may improve the ability to distinguish between perinatal lethal and PB HPP in utero., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by pathogenic variants in the ALPL gene. There is a large continuum in the severity, ranging from a lethal perinatal form to dental issues. We analyzed a cohort of 424 HPP patients from European geographic origin or ancestry. Using 3D modeling and results of functional tests we classified ALPL pathogenic variants according to their dominant negative effect (DNE) and their severity. The cohort was described by the genotypes resulting from alleles s (severe recessive), Sd (severe dominant), and m (moderate). Many recurrent variants showed a regional anchor pointing out founder effects rather than multiple mutational events. Homozygosity was an aggravating factor of the severity and moderate alleles were rare both in number and frequency. Pathogenic variants with DNE were found in both recessive and dominant HPP. Sixty percent of the adults tested were heterozygous for a variant showing no DNE, suggesting another mechanism of dominance like haploinsufficiency. Adults with dominant HPP without DNE were found statistically less severely affected than adults with DNE variants. Adults with dominant HPP without DNE represent a new clinical entity mostly diagnosed from 2010s, characterized by nonspecific signs of HPP and low alkaline phosphatase, and for which a high prevalence is expected. In conclusion, the genetic composition of our cohort suggests a nosology with 3 clinical forms: severe HPP is recessive and rare, moderate HPP is recessive or dominant and more common, and mild HPP, characterized by low alkaline phosphatase and unspecific clinical signs, is dominantly inherited and very common.

- Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic bone disease due to a deficiency of the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme (TNSALP) encoded by the ALPL gene. Patients have consistently low serum alkaline phosphatase (AP), so that this parameter is a good hallmark of the disease. Adult HPP is heterogeneous, and some patients present only mild nonpathognomonic symptoms which are also common in the general population such as joint pain, osteomalacia and osteopenia, chondrocalcinosis, arthropathy and musculoskeletal pain. Adult HPP may be recessively or dominantly inherited; the latter case is assumed to be due to the dominant negative effect (DNE) of missense mutations derived from the functional homodimeric structure of TNSALP. However, there is no biological argument excluding the possibility of other causes of dominant HPP. Rheumatologists and endocrinologists are increasingly solicited for patients with low AP and nonpathognomonic symptoms of HPP. Many of these patients are heterozygous for an ALPL mutation and a challenging question is to determine if these symptoms, which are also common in the general population, are attributable to their heterozygous ALPL mutation or not. In an attempt to address this question, we reviewed a cohort of 61 adult patients heterozygous for an ALPL mutation. Mutations were distinguished according to their statistical likelihood to show a DNE. One-half of the patients carried mutations predicted with no DNE and were slightly less severely affected by the age of onset, serum AP activity and history of fractures. We hypothesized that these mutations result in another mechanism of dominance or are recessive alleles. To identify other genetic factors that could trigger the disease phenotype in heterozygotes for potential recessive mutations, we examined the next-generation sequencing results of 32 of these patients for a panel of 12 genes involved in the differential diagnosis of HPP or candidate modifier genes of HPP. The heterozygous genotype G/C of the COL1A2 coding SNP rs42524 c.1645C > G (p.Pro549Ala) was associated with the severity of the phenotype in patients carrying mutations with a DNE whereas the homozygous genotype G/G was over-represented in patients carrying mutations without a DNE, suggesting a possible role of this variant in the disease phenotype. These preliminary results support COL1A2 as a modifier gene of HPP and suggest that a significant proportion of adult heterozygotes for ALPL mutations may have unspecific symptoms not attributable to their heterozygosity.

- Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited skeletal dysplasia due to loss of function mutations in the ALPL gene. The disease is subject to an extremely high clinical heterogeneity ranging from a perinatal lethal form to odontohypophosphatasia affecting only teeth. Up to now genetic diagnosis of HPP is performed by sequencing the ALPL gene by Sanger methodology. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and campomelic dysplasia (CD) are the main differential diagnoses of severe HPP, so that in case of negative result for ALPL mutations, OI and CD genes had often to be analyzed, lengthening the time before diagnosis. We report here our 18-month experience in testing 46 patients for HPP and differential diagnosis by targeted NGS and show that this strategy is efficient and useful. We used an array including ALPL gene, genes of differential diagnosis COL1A1 and COL1A2 that represent 90% of OI cases, SOX9, responsible for CD, and 8 potentially modifier genes of HPP. Seventeen patients were found to carry a mutation in one of these genes. Among them, only 10 out of 15 cases referred for HPP carried a mutation in ALPL and 5 carried a mutation in COL1A1 or COL1A2. Interestingly, three of these patients were adults with fractures and/or low BMD. Our results indicate that HPP and OI may be easily misdiagnosed in the prenatal stage but also in adults with mild symptoms for these diseases., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: Severe osteoarthritis and thoracic aortic aneurysms have recently been associated with mutations in the SMAD3 gene, but the full clinical spectrum is incompletely defined., Methods: All SMAD3 gene mutation carriers coming to our centre and their families were investigated prospectively with a structured panel including standardized clinical workup, blood tests, total body computed tomography, joint X-rays. Electroneuromyography was performed in selected cases., Results: Thirty-four SMAD3 gene mutation carriers coming to our centre were identified and 16 relatives were considered affected because of aortic surgery or sudden death (total 50 subjects). Aortic disease was present in 72%, complicated with aortic dissection, surgery or sudden death in 56% at a mean age of 45 years. Aneurysm or tortuosity of the neck arteries was present in 78%, other arteries were affected in 44%, including dissection of coronary artery. Overall, 95% of mutation carriers displayed either aortic or extra-aortic arterial disease. Acrocyanosis was also present in the majority of patients. Osteoarticular manifestations were recorded in all patients. Joint involvement could be severe requiring surgery in young patients, of unusual localization such as tarsus or shoulder, or mimicking crystalline arthropathy with fibrocartilage calcifications. Sixty eight percent of patients displayed neurological symptoms, and 9 suffered peripheral neuropathy. Electroneuromyography revealed an axonal motor and sensory neuropathy in 3 different families, very evocative of type II Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT2) disease, although none had mutations in the known CMT2 genes. Autoimmune features including Sjogren's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's disease, or isolated autoantibodies- were found in 36% of patients., Interpretation: SMAD3 gene mutations are associated with aortic dilatation and osteoarthritis, but also autoimmunity and peripheral neuropathy which mimics type II Charcot-Marie-Tooth.

- Abstract
A predisposition for thoracic aortic aneurysms leading to acute aortic dissections can be inherited in families in an autosomal dominant manner. Genome-wide linkage analysis of two large unrelated families with thoracic aortic disease followed by whole-exome sequencing of affected relatives identified causative mutations in TGFB2. These mutations-a frameshift mutation in exon 6 and a nonsense mutation in exon 4-segregated with disease with a combined logarithm of odds (LOD) score of 7.7. Sanger sequencing of 276 probands from families with inherited thoracic aortic disease identified 2 additional TGFB2 mutations. TGFB2 encodes transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2, and the mutations are predicted to cause haploinsufficiency for TGFB2; however, aortic tissue from cases paradoxically shows increased TGF-β2 expression and immunostaining. Thus, haploinsufficiency for TGFB2 predisposes to thoracic aortic disease, suggesting that the initial pathway driving disease is decreased cellular TGF-β2 levels leading to a secondary increase in TGF-β2 production in the diseased aorta.

- Abstract
The optimal strategy for identifying patients with Lynch syndrome among patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) is still debated. Several predictive models (e.g., MMRpredict, PREMM1,2 and MMRpro) combining personal and familial data have recently been developed to quantify the risk that a given patient with CRC carries a Lynch syndrome-causing mutation. Their clinical applicability to patients with CRC from the general population requires evaluation. We studied a consecutive series of 214 patients with newly diagnosed CRC characterized for tumor microsatellite instability (MSI), somatic BRAF mutation, MLH1 promoter methylation and mismatch repair (MMR) gene germline mutation status. The performances of the models for identifying MMR mutation carriers (8/214, 3.7%) were evaluated and compared to the revised Bethesda guidelines and a molecular strategy based on MSI testing in all patients followed by the exclusion of MSI-positive sporadic cases from mutational testing by screening for BRAF mutation and MLH1 promoter methylation. The sensitivities of the three models, at the lowest thresholds proposed, were identical (75%), with similar numbers of probands eligible for further MSI testing (almost half the patients). In our dataset, the prediction models gave no better discrimination than the revised Bethesda guidelines. Both approaches failed to identify two of the eight mutation carriers (the same two patients, aged 67 and 81 years, both with no family history). Thus, like the revised Bethesda guidelines, predictive models did not identify all patients with Lynch syndrome in our series of consecutive CRC. Our results support systematic screening for MMR deficiency in all new CRC cases., (Copyright © 2011 UICC.)

- Abstract
Mutations identified in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene have been associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Molecular analysis of the gene is classically performed in probands with MFS to offer diagnosis for at-risk relatives and in children highly suspected of MFS. However, FBN1 gene mutations are found in an ill-defined group of diseases termed 'type I fibrillinopathies', which are associated with an increased risk of aortic dilatation and dissection. Thus, there is growing awareness of the need to identify these non-MFS probands, for which FBN1 gene screening should be performed. To answer this need we compiled the molecular data obtained from the screening of the FBN1 gene in 586 probands, which had been addressed to our laboratory for molecular diagnosis. In this group, the efficacy of FBN1 gene screening was high in classical MFS probands (72.5%,), low (58%) in those referred for incomplete MFS and only slight (14.3%) for patients referred as possible MFS. Using recursive partitioning, we found that the best predictor of the identification of a mutation in the FBN1 gene was the presence of features in at least three organ systems, combining one major, and various minor criteria. We also show that our original recommendation of two systems involved with at least one with major criterion represents the minimal criteria because in probands not meeting these criteria, the yield of mutation identification drastically falls. This recommendation should help clinicians and biologists in identifying probands with a high probability of carrying a FBN1 gene mutation, and thus optimize biological resources.

- Abstract
Objectives: Evaluate the risk of aortic complications (aortic dissection or prophylactic aortic surgical replacement) associated with pregnancy in Marfan syndrome in the absence of specific care., Background: Data are scarce on aortic complications during pregnancy in Marfan syndrome., Methods: Retrospective study on a large population (415 patients) followed up in our multidisciplinary out-patient clinic devoted to Marfan syndrome. Women over 18 years of age were divided into 2 groups: 85 had been pregnant (MFSP+) giving birth to 136 children through 160 pregnancies; 68 had not been pregnant (MFSP-). The occurrence of aortic complication was compared between the 2 groups using a piecewise discrete-time model., Results: In MFSP+, 7 aortic complications occurred during 160 pregnancies (4.4%) and 17 aortic complications occurred during 1870 years of follow-up out of pregnancy. In MFSP-, 14 aortic complications occurred over 940 years of follow-up. Pregnancy was associated with a 5 fold increase in risk of aortic complication, which did not translate into increased risk during life, suggesting that pregnancy may act as a revealer in women prone to aortic complication., Conclusions: Pregnancy is associated with a transient increased risk of aortic complication in the absence of specific care.

- Abstract
TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 gene mutations have been associated with Marfan syndrome types 1 and 2, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and isolated familial thoracic aortic aneurysms or dissection. In order to investigate the molecular and clinical spectrum of TGFBR2 mutations we screened the gene in 457 probands suspected of being affected with Marfan syndrome or related disorders that had been referred to our laboratory for molecular diagnosis. We identified and report 23 mutations and 20 polymorphisms. Subsequently, we screened the TGFBR1 gene in the first 74 patients for whom no defect had been found, and identified 6 novel mutations and 12 polymorphisms. Mutation-carrying probands displayed at referral a large clinical spectrum ranging from the Loeys-Dietz syndrome and neonatal Marfan syndrome to isolated aortic aneurysm. Furthermore, a TGFBR1 gene mutation was found in a Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome patient. Finally, we observed that the yield of mutation detection within the two genes was very low : 4.8% for classical MFS, 4.6% for incomplete MFS and 1% for TAAD in the TGFBR2 gene; 6.2%, 6.2% and 7% respectively in the TGFBR1 gene; in contrast to LDS, where the yield was exceptionally high (87.5%)., ((c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.)

- Abstract
Background: The identification of individuals who should undergo hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) genetic testing remains a critical issue. The Bethesda guidelines were developed to preselect patients for microsatellite instability (MSI) testing before germline mutation screening. These criteria have been revised, and a new set of recommendations, the revised Bethesda guidelines, has been proposed., Objective: To evaluate the performance of these revised guidelines for identifying patients with HNPCC in a series of unselected consecutive patients and compare this revised guidelines-based approach with a molecular strategy (MSI testing for all tumors, followed by exclusion of MSI-positive sporadic cases from mutational testing)., Patients and Methods: The study included 214 patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer. The MSI analysis was performed for all tumors. Germline testing, guided by immunohistochemical staining for mismatch repair proteins, was performed for patients with MSI-positive tumors. Sporadic MSI-positive tumors were identified by screening for BRAF mutation and MLH1 promoter methylation., Results: Ninety patients (42.1%) met the revised guidelines. Twenty-one patients (9.8%) had MSI-positive tumors. Germline testing identified eight mutations (3.7%) (MSH2 N = 5, MLH1 N = 2, MSH6 N =1). The revised guidelines failed to identify 2 of the 8 probands (aged 67 and 81 yr, both with no family history). In contrast, the molecular strategy identified all patients requiring testing for germline mutation. The percentages of patients selected for germline testing by the revised guidelines and the molecular strategy were 4.2% and 5.1%, respectively., Conclusions: The revised Bethesda guidelines did not identify all HNPCC cases in our series. The molecular approach identified all HNPCC patients with MSI-positive tumors, increasing the workload for germline testing only slightly.

- Abstract
Objective: To measure bone mineral density (BMD) in a group of patients meeting Gand criteria for Marfan syndrome, comparatively with a group of healthy controls., Methods: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to measure BMD at the hip and wrist in 130 patients seen at the Multidisciplinary Marfan Clinic, Paris, France. Results were compared to values in the database of the absorptiometry machine (Hologic QDR100) and to values in 72 healthy height-matched controls including 35 whose body mass index (BMI) values were similar to those in the patients., Results: A history of fractures was noted in 32 (24.6%) patients. Z-score values were significantly decreased in the patients compared to the Hologic database values at the femoral neck (-1.190+/-0.098, P<0.0001) and wrist (-1.403+/-1.06; P < 0.001). Patients had significantly lower BMD values at the femoral neck compared to the height-matched controls (0.841+/-0.15 versus 1.010+/-0.017; P<0.0001). BMD values were also significantly lower in the patients compared to the controls of similar height and BMI. BMD values did not correlate with history of fractures or acetabular protrusion. In the patients, BMD values lower than -2.5 correlated with presence of dural ectasia., Conclusion: Men and women with Marfan syndrome have significant osteopenia independent from BMI.

- Abstract
Two new patients, mosaic for a small supernumerary ring chromosome 7 are described. There are only seven published reported concerning supernumerary ring chromosome 7 and we reviewed the previously reported cases in an attempt to establish genotype-phenotype correlations, which are particularly important for genetic counselling and clinical genetics. Our first case was a 20 months old girl who was referred for a mild motor developmental delay, an asymmetric facial appearance, a plagiocephaly and a short nose with anteverted nostrils. Our second case was a 9 years old boy who was referred for a IQ at the lower end of the normal range (? 80), obesity, hyperactivity and some dysmorphic features including hypertelorism and down slanting palpebral fissures. In both cases, chromosome analysis after G and R banding and FISH showed a small ring chromosome 7 in respectively 76% and 50% of consecutively scored metaphases. Both ring chromosomes were labelled by FISH using the Williams Syndrome locus probe (Elastin Gene D7S486). Comparison between these two cases and previously published cases allowed to delineate frequent clinical findings. A mild mental retardation was found in the majority of patients. which is an important data for genetic counselling.

- Abstract
The causal factors of aneurysm are not the same in the ascending and abdominal aorta. Atheroma is the dominant lesion in the abdominal aorta and genetic abnormalities predisposing to "mediacystic necrosis" are more frequently observed in ascending aortic aneurysms. The causal genetic abnormalities are multiple: abnormalities of fibrillin type I in Marfan's syndrome, collagen abnormalities in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, abnormalities of microfibrils, possible metallo-proteases, with many gene candidates. Finally, some ascending aortic aneurysms are associated with bicuspid aortic valves, some of which are familial. Familial factors are less evident in abdominal aortic aneurysms: genes favoring atheroma may be responsible but the factors which predispose to dilatation and non stenosis are not well known: they would seem to be general factors because the tendency to arterial dilatation is diffuse. In all cases, because of the high risk of disease in a close relative, a familial enquiry would seem to be justified with echocardiography for close relatives of affected subjects, especially when young and female.

- Abstract
Marfan syndrome is the second most common inherited connective tissue disorder after osteogenesis imperfecta. Musculoskeletal abnormalities are at the forefront of the clinical picture and count among the major diagnostic criteria for Marfan syndrome, together with cardiovascular and ocular system involvement. Early diagnosis is of the utmost importance since preventive measures significantly increase life expectancy and prevent the occurrence of impairments and disabilities. Marfan syndrome is due to mutations within the fibrillin-1 gene, which is the main protein of the microfibril network. Microfibrils play a crucial role in the trophicity and function of elastic tissue. Multidisciplinary management of the patients and their families is vital.

- Abstract
The 11q;22q translocations, whatever the breakpoints may be, are of particular interest because of their propensity to 3:1 segregation of the chromosomes at meiosis I. Until now, no unbalanced karyotype resulting from 2:2 adjacent segregation was published among offspring of 11q;22q translocation carriers. The authors report the case of an unbalanced karyotype due to adjacent 1 segregation of a maternal translocation (11;22)(q23.3;q13.2). The proband's karyotype was 46,XX,-22,+der(22)(11;22)(q23.3;q13.2)mat. This finding demonstrates that adjacent 1 segregation is possible in t(11;22) with breakpoints at 11q23 and 22q13, and can lead to birth of viable infants.
