- Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is caused by pathogenic variants in SATB2, which encodes an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor. Despite the broad range of phenotypic manifestations and variable severity related to this syndrome, haploinsufficiency has been assumed to be the primary molecular explanation. In this study, we describe eight individuals with SATB2 variants that affect p.Gly392 (four women, age range 2–16 years; p.Gly392Arg, p.Gly392Glu and p.Gly392Val). Of these, individuals with p.Gly392Arg substitutions were found to have more severe neurodevelopmental phenotypes based on an established rubric scoring system when compared with individuals with p.Gly392Glu, p.Gly392Val and other previously reported causative SATB2 missense variants. Consistent with the observations at the phenotypic level, using human cell-based and model organism functional data, we documented that while all three described p.Gly392 variants affect the same residue and seem to all have a partial loss-of-function effect, some effects on SATB2 protein function appear to be variant-specific. Our results indicate that genotype–phenotype correlations in SAS are more complex than originally thought, and variant-specific genotype–phenotype correlations are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Pre-mRNA splicing is a highly coordinated process. While its dysregulation has been linked to neurological deficits, our understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remains limited. We implicated pathogenic variants in U2AF2 and PRPF19, encoding spliceosome subunits in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), by identifying 46 unrelated individuals with 23 de novo U2AF2 missense variants (including 7 recurrent variants in 30 individuals) and 6 individuals with de novo PRPF19 variants. Eight U2AF2 variants dysregulated splicing of a model substrate. Neuritogenesis was reduced in human neurons differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells carrying two U2AF2 hyper-recurrent variants. Neural loss of function (LoF) of the Drosophila orthologs U2af50 and Prp19 led to lethality, abnormal mushroom body (MB) patterning, and social deficits, which were differentially rescued by wild-type and mutant U2AF2 or PRPF19. Transcriptome profiling revealed splicing substrates or effectors (including Rbfox1, a third splicing factor), which rescued MB defects in U2af50deficient flies. Upon reanalysis of negative clinical exomes followed by data sharing, we further identified 6 patients with NDD who carried RBFOX1 missense variants which, by in vitro testing, showed LoF. Our study implicates 3 splicing factors as NDD-causative genes and establishes a genetic network with hierarchy underlying human brain development and function.

- Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of genetic variants associated with hearing loss in a large cohort of children in Canada using high throughput next generation sequencing (NGS). Methods: A total of 485 children with hearing loss underwent NGS testing with an 80 gene panel of syndromic and non‐syndromic variants known to be associated with hearing loss. Genetic variants were classified as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, likely benign, benign, or variants of uncertain significance (VUS), according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. Results: Across the 80 genes tested, 923 variants, predominantly in 28 genes, were identified in 324 children. Pathogenic variants occurred in 19/80 (23.8%) of the hearing loss related genes tested and confirmed the etiology of hearing loss in 73/485 (15.1%) of children. GJB2 was the most prevalent gene, affecting 28/73 (38.4%) children with confirmed genetic hearing loss in our cohort. Most identified variants (748/923, 81.0%, in 76/80 genes) were of uncertain significance. Conclusion: Genetic testing using NGS identified the etiology in approximately 15% of childhood hearing loss in a Canadian cohort which is lower than what is typically reported. GJB2 was the most common genetic cause of hearing loss. VUS are commonly identified, presenting clinical challenges for counseling.

- Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is caused by pathogenic variants in SATB2, which encodes an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor. Despite the broad range of phenotypic manifestations and variable severity related to this syndrome, haploinsufficiency has been assumed to be the primary molecular explanation.In this study, we describe eight individuals with SATB2variants that affect p.Gly392 (four women, age range 2–16 years; p.Gly392Arg, p.Gly392Glu and p.Gly392Val). Of these, individuals with p.Gly392Arg substitutions were found to have more severe neurodevelopmental phenotypes based on an established rubric scoring system when compared with individuals with p.Gly392Glu, p.Gly392Val and other previously reported causative SATB2missense variants. Consistent with the observations at the phenotypic level, using human cell-based and model organism functional data, we documented that while all three described p.Gly392 variants affect the same residue and seem to all have a partial loss-of-function effect, some effects on SATB2 protein function appear to be variant-specific. Our results indicate that genotype–phenotype correlations in SAS are more complex than originally thought, and variant-specific genotype–phenotype correlations are needed.

It is associated with abnormal ciliary structure and/or function leading to chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections, male infertility, and situs inversus. The estimated prevalence of primary ciliary dyskinesia is approximately one in 10,000–40,000 live births. Diagnosis depends on clinical presentation, nasal nitric oxide, high-speed video-microscopy analysis, transmission electron microscopy, genetic testing, and immunofluorescence. Here, we review its clinical features, diagnostic methods, molecular basis, and available therapies. Keywords: genetic testing, Kartagener’s syndrome, primary ciliary dyskinesia

- Abstract
The association of craniosynostosis with ectopia lentis is extremely rare. This was recently reported in monozygotic twin sisters, supporting a genetic etiology for this syndromic association. We report on female first cousins once removed who were born with unilateral coronal synostosis. One cousin also had peripheral pulmonic branch stenosis at birth and was later found to have ectopia lentis and severe myopia. The other cousin had an atrial septal defect, mitral valve prolapse, and only mild myopia. Their intelligence is normal. The inheritance is likely autosomal dominant with variable expression and incomplete penetrance and further defines this syndrome to include congenital heart defects. These findings will have important implications for genetic counseling. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

- Abstract
SATB2 -associated syndrome (SAS) is caused by pathogenic variants in SATB2 , which encodes an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor. Despite the broad range of phenotypic manifestations and variable severity related to this syndrome, haploinsufficiency has been assumed to be the primary molecular explanation.In this study, we describe eight individuals with SATB2 variants that affect p.Gly392 (four women, age range 2-16 years; p.Gly392Arg, p.Gly392Glu and p.Gly392Val). Of these, individuals with p.Gly392Arg substitutions were found to have more severe neurodevelopmental phenotypes based on an established rubric scoring system when compared with individuals with p.Gly392Glu, p.Gly392Val and other previously reported causative SATB2 missense variants. Consistent with the observations at the phenotypic level, using human cell-based and model organism functional data, we documented that while all three described p.Gly392 variants affect the same residue and seem to all have a partial loss-of-function effect, some effects on SATB2 protein function appear to be variant-specific. Our results indicate that genotype-phenotype correlations in SAS are more complex than originally thought, and variant-specific genotype-phenotype correlations are needed., Competing Interests: Competing interests: YZ is a medical advisor to the SATB2 Gene Foundation.

- Abstract
Pre-mRNA splicing is a highly coordinated process. While its dysregulation has been linked to neurological deficits, our understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remains limited. We implicated pathogenic variants in U2AF2 and PRPF19, encoding spliceosome subunits in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), by identifying 46 unrelated individuals with 23 de novo U2AF2 missense variants (including 7 recurrent variants in 30 individuals) and 6 individuals with de novo PRPF19 variants. Eight U2AF2 variants dysregulated splicing of a model substrate. Neuritogenesis was reduced in human neurons differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells carrying two U2AF2 hyper-recurrent variants. Neural loss of function (LoF) of the Drosophila orthologs U2af50 and Prp19 led to lethality, abnormal mushroom body (MB) patterning, and social deficits, which were differentially rescued by wild-type and mutant U2AF2 or PRPF19. Transcriptome profiling revealed splicing substrates or effectors (including Rbfox1, a third splicing factor), which rescued MB defects in U2af50-deficient flies. Upon reanalysis of negative clinical exomes followed by data sharing, we further identified 6 patients with NDD who carried RBFOX1 missense variants which, by in vitro testing, showed LoF. Our study implicates 3 splicing factors as NDD-causative genes and establishes a genetic network with hierarchy underlying human brain development and function.

- Abstract
Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1) is a recently described autosomal-recessive neurodegenerative condition of childhood onset. It is caused by mutations in the APTX gene, which encodes the protein aprataxin. Clinical features include gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria, oculomotor apraxia, mild peripheral neuropathy and progression of neurological deficits.1 Some patients manifest parkinsonian symptoms or mental retardation, although the latter has been reported predominantly in Japanese patients.2 We report a patient with homozygous deletion of APTX, who presented with behavioural changes (social withdrawal), and subsequent rapid progression of neurological symptoms associated with severe cognitive decline. We suggest that complete deletion of APTX is associated with a more severe phenotype than that associated with point mutations.
