CEP41 As an ASD Gene Ashok Patowary 1,Soyeonwon2,Shinjioh2,Ryanrnesbitt1, Marilyn Archer1, Debbie Nickerson3, Wendy H
Patowary et al. Translational Psychiatry (2019) 9:4 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-018-0343-z Translational Psychiatry ARTICLE Open Access Family-based exome sequencing and case- control analysis implicate CEP41 as an ASD gene Ashok Patowary 1,SoYeonWon2,ShinJiOh2,RyanRNesbitt1, Marilyn Archer1, Debbie Nickerson3, Wendy H. Raskind1,4, Raphael Bernier1,JiEunLee2,5 and Zoran Brkanac1 Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic component. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been successfully applied to gene identification in de novo ASD, the genetic architecture of familial ASD remains largely unexplored. Our approach, which leverages the high specificity and sensitivity of NGS technology, has focused on rare variants in familial autism. We used NGS exome sequencing in 26 families with distantly related affected individuals to identify genes with private gene disrupting and missense variants of interest (VOI). We found that the genes carrying VOIs were enriched for biological processes related to cell projection organization and neuron development, which is consistent with the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of ASD. For a subset of genes carrying VOIs, we then used targeted NGS sequencing and gene-based variant burden case-control analysis to test for association with ASD. Missense variants in one gene, CEP41, associated significantly with ASD (p = 6.185e−05). Homozygous gene-disrupting variants in CEP41 were initially found to be responsible for recessive Joubert syndrome. Using a zebrafish model, we evaluated the mechanism by which the 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; CEP41 variants might contribute to ASD. We found that CEP41 missense variants affect development of the axonal tract, cranial neural crest migration and social behavior phenotype. -
Fog2 Is Critical for Cardiac Function and Maintenance of Coronary Vasculature in the Adult Mouse Heart
Fog2 is critical for cardiac function and maintenance of coronary vasculature in the adult mouse heart Bin Zhou, … , Sergei G. Tevosian, William T. Pu J Clin Invest. 2009;119(6):1462-1476. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI38723. Research Article Cardiology Aberrant transcriptional regulation contributes to the pathogenesis of both congenital and adult forms of heart disease. While the transcriptional regulator friend of Gata 2 (FOG2) is known to be essential for heart morphogenesis and coronary development, its tissue-specific function has not been previously investigated. Additionally, little is known about the role of FOG2 in the adult heart. Here we used spatiotemporally regulated inactivation of Fog2 to delineate its function in both the embryonic and adult mouse heart. Early cardiomyocyte-restricted loss of Fog2 recapitulated the cardiac and coronary defects of the Fog2 germline murine knockouts. Later cardiomyocyte-restricted loss ofF og2 (Fog2MC) did not result in defects in cardiac structure or coronary vessel formation. However, Fog2MC adult mice had severely depressed ventricular function and died at 8–14 weeks. Fog2MC adult hearts displayed a paucity of coronary vessels, associated with myocardial hypoxia, increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and cardiac fibrosis. Induced inactivation of Fog2 in the adult mouse heart resulted in similar phenotypes, as did ablation of the FOG2 interaction with the transcription factor GATA4. Loss of the FOG2 or FOG2-GATA4 interaction altered the expression of a panel of angiogenesis-related genes. Collectively, our data indicate that FOG2 regulates adult heart function and coronary angiogenesis.

Tall Stature: a Difficult Diagnosis? Cristina Meazza1* , Chiara Gertosio2, Roberta Giacchero3, Sara Pagani1 and Mauro Bozzola1
Meazza et al. Italian Journal of Pediatrics (2017) 43:66 DOI 10.1186/s13052-017-0385-5 REVIEW Open Access Tall stature: a difficult diagnosis? Cristina Meazza1* , Chiara Gertosio2, Roberta Giacchero3, Sara Pagani1 and Mauro Bozzola1 Abstract Referral for an assessment of tall stature is less common than for short stature. Tall stature is defined as a height more than two standard deviations above the mean for age. The majority of subjects with tall stature show a familial tall stature or a constitutional advance of growth (CAG), which is a diagnosis of exclusion. After a careful physical evaluation, tall subjects may be divided into two groups: tall subjects with normal appearance and tall subjects with abnormal appearance. In the case of normal appearance, the paediatric endocrinologist will have to evaluate the growth rate. If it is normal for age and sex, the subject may be classified as having familial tall stature, CAG or obese subject, while if the growth rate is increased it is essential to evaluate pubertal status and thyroid status. Tall subjects with abnormal appearance and dysmorphisms can be classified into those with proportionate and disproportionate syndromes. A careful physical examination and an evaluation of growth pattern are required before starting further investigations. Physicians should always search for a pathological cause of tall stature, although the majority of children are healthy and they generally do not need treatment to cease growth progression. The most accepted and effective treatment for an excessive height prediction is inducing puberty early and leading to a complete fusion of the epiphyses and achievement of final height, using testosterone in males and oestrogens in females. -

CHARGE association denotes the non-random occurrence of ocular coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development, genital hypoplasia, ear anomalies and deafness (OMIM #214800). Almost all patients with CHARGE association are sporadic and its cause was unknown. We and others hypothesized that CHARGE association is due to a genomic microdeletion or to a mutation in a gene affecting early embryonic development. In this study array- based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) was used to screen patients with CHARGE association for submicroscopic DNA copy number alterations. De novo overlapping microdeletions in 8q12 were identified in two patients on a genome-wide 1 Mb resolution BAC array. A 2.3 Mb region of deletion overlap was defined using a tiling resolution chromosome 8 microarray. Sequence analysis of genes residing within this critical region revealed mutations in the CHD7 gene in 10 of the 17 CHARGE patients without microdeletions, including 7 heterozygous stop-codon mutations. -

The majority of patients have no PAVM-related symptoms, but are at risk of major complications that can be prevented by appropriate interventions. More than 90% of PAVMs occur as part of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), the genetic condition most commonly recognised by nosebleeds, anaemia due to chronic haemorrhage, and/or the presence of arteriovenous malformations in pulmonary, hepatic or cerebral circulations. Patients with HHT are also at higher risk of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary embolic disease, management of which can be compounded by other aspects of their HHT. This chapter primarily addresses PAVMs and pulmonary HHT in the clinical setting, in order to improve patient care. -

These disorders can be divided into metabolic and developmental categories based on their molecular etiologies. Metabolic megalencephalies are mostly caused by genetic defects in cellular metabolism, whereas developmental megalencephalies have recently been shown to be caused by alterations in signaling pathways that regulate neuronal replication, growth, and migration.

Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome Authors: Professor L. Clauser1 and Doctor M. Galié Creation Date: June 2002 Update: July 2004 Scientific Editor: Professor Raoul CM. Hennekam 1Department of craniomaxillofacial surgery, St. Anna Hospital and University, Corso Giovecca, 203, 44100 Ferrara, Italy. [email protected] Abstract Keywords Disease name and synonyms Excluded diseases Definition Prevalence Management including treatment Etiology Diagnostic methods Genetic counseling Antenatal diagnosis Unresolved questions References Abstract Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome (SCS) is an inherited craniosynostotic condition, with both premature fusion of cranial sutures (craniostenosis) and limb abnormalities. The most common clinical features, present in more than a third of patients, consist of coronal synostosis, brachycephaly, low frontal hairline, facial asymmetry, hypertelorism, broad halluces, and clinodactyly. The estimated birth incidence is 1/25,000 to 1/50,000 but because the phenotype can be very mild, the entity is likely to be underdiagnosed. SCS is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with a high penetrance and variable expression. The TWIST gene located at chromosome 7p21-p22, is responsible for SCS and encodes a transcription factor regulating head mesenchyme cell development during cranial tube formation. Some patients with an overlapping SCS phenotype have mutations in the FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene; especially the Pro250Arg mutation in FGFR3 (Muenke syndrome) can resemble SCS to a great extent.
