Blueprint Genetics Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Panel
Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Panel Test code: HE0801 Is a 135 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. The genes on this panel are included in the Comprehensive Hematology Panel. About Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) are a diverse set of genetic disorders characterized by the inability of the bone marrow to produce sufficient circulating blood cells. Bone marrow failure can affect all blood cell lineages causing clinical symptoms similar to aplastic anemia, or be restricted to one or two blood cell lineages. The clinical presentation may include thrombocytopenia or neutropenia. Hematological manifestations may be accompanied by physical features such as short stature and abnormal skin pigmentation in Fanconi anemia and dystrophic nails, lacy reticular pigmentation and oral leukoplakia in dyskeratosis congenita. Patients with IBMFS have an increased risk of developing cancer—either hematological or solid tumors. Early and correct disease recognition is important for management and surveillance of the diseases. Currently, accurate genetic diagnosis is essential to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The most common phenotypes that are covered by the panel are Fanconi anemia, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and WAS-related disorders.

Public Health, George Washington University, Washington, USA Corresponding author: Juan Fernando Ortiz, [email protected] Abstract Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare syndrome characterized by hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, and neurological features. The genes Ras-related protein (RAB27A) and Myosin-Va (MYO5A) are involved in this condition's pathogenesis. We present a GS type 1 (GS1) case with developmental delay, hypotonia, and refractory seizures despite multiple medications, which included clobazam, cannabinol, zonisamide, and a ketogenic diet. Lacosamide and levetiracetam were added to the treatment regimen, which decreased the seizures' frequency from 10 per day to five per day. The patient had an MYO5A mutation and, remarkably, a deletion on 18p11.32p11.31. The deletion was previously reported in a patient with refractory seizures and developmental delay. We reviewed all cases of GS that presented with seizures. We reviewed other cases of GS and seizures described in the literature and explored possible seizure mechanisms in GS. Seizure in GS1 seems to be related directly to the MYO5A mutation. The neurological manifestations in GS2 seem to be caused indirectly by the accelerated phase of Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), which is characteristic of GS2. -

Blueprint Genetics Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer
Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer Panel Test code: HE1401 Is a 348 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of hematological disorder with genetic predisposition to malignancies. This panel is designed to detect heritable germline mutations and should not be used for the detection of somatic mutations in tumor tissue. Is not recommended for patients suspected to have anemia due to alpha-thalassemia (HBA1 or HBA2). These genes are highly homologous reducing mutation detection rate due to challenges in variant call and difficult to detect mutation profile (deletions and gene-fusions within the homologous genes tandem in the human genome). Is not recommended for patients with a suspicion of severe Hemophilia A if the common inversions are not excluded by previous testing. An intron 22 inversion of the F8 gene is identified in 43%-45% individuals with severe hemophilia A and intron 1 inversion in 2%-5% (GeneReviews NBK1404; PMID:8275087, 8490618, 29296726, 27292088, 22282501, 11756167). This test does not detect reliably these inversions. Is not recommended for patients suspected to have anemia due to alpha-thalassemia (HBA1 or HBA2). These genes are highly homologous reducing mutation detection rate due to challenges in variant call and difficult to detect mutation profile (deletions and gene-fusions within the homologous genes tandem in the human genome). About Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer Inherited hematological diseases are a group of blood disorders with variable clinical presentation. Many of them predispose to malignancies and for example patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (Fanconi anemia) have a high risk of developing cancer, either leukemia or solid tumors. -

1, Introduction Introduction
1, Introduction Introduction History of research on human pigmentation although can be traced back to 2200 BC, the quest for understanding the mechanism of various aspects of pigmentation still continues. There is no doubt that the visual impressions of body form and color are important in the interactions within and between human communities. Further a number of diseases or malformations are known to be associated with various pigmentory disorders. Thus this area of research is of tremendous importance. In biology, a pigment is any material resulting in color of plant or animal cells, which is the result of selective color absorption. Many biological structures, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigments (such as melanin) in specialized cells called chromatophores. Study of pigmentation patterns provides a model system to study genetic as well as phenotypic variations as it provides a manifestation of the complex interplay between environmental cues, signal transduction pathways, several modifications at transcriptional- protein level. Thus pigment genes were "pioneers" for the exploration of mouse genetics leading to the identification of 127 different loci of which 63 different genes have been charaterised so far (Silvers 1979; Bennett and Lamourex, 2003; Getting 2005). A summary of the location and function of important genes in melanogenesis identified till date is presented in table 1.

The biogenesis of LROs employs a common machinery, and genetic defects in this machinery can affect all LROs or only an individual LRO, resulting in a variety of clinical features. In this review, we discuss the main components in LRO biogenesis. We also address the function, composition and resident cell type of the major LROs. Finally, we describe the clinical characteristics of the major human LRO disorders.

Ocular Manifestations of Inherited Diseases Maya Eibschitz-Tsimhoni
10 Ocular Manifestations of Inherited Diseases Maya Eibschitz-Tsimhoni ecognizing an ocular abnormality may be the first step in Ridentifying an inherited condition or syndrome. Identifying an inherited condition may corroborate a presumptive diagno- sis, guide subsequent management, provide valuable prognostic information for the patient, and determine if genetic counseling is needed. Syndromes with prominent ocular findings are listed in Table 10-1, along with their alternative names. By no means is this a complete listing. Two-hundred and thirty-five of approxi- mately 1900 syndromes associated with ocular or periocular manifestations (both inherited and noninherited) identified in the medical literature were chosen for this chapter. These syn- dromes were selected on the basis of their frequency, the char- acteristic or unique systemic or ocular findings present, as well as their recognition within the medical literature. The boldfaced terms are discussed further in Table 10-2. Table 10-2 provides a brief overview of the common ocular and systemic findings for these syndromes. The table is organ- ized alphabetically; the boldface name of a syndrome is followed by a common alternative name when appropriate. Next, the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM™) index num- ber is listed. By accessing the OMIM™ website maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, the reader can supplement the material in the chapter with the latest research available on that syndrome. A MIM number without a prefix means that the mode of inheritance has not been proven. The prefix (*) in front of a MIM number means that the phenotype determined by the gene at a given locus is separate from those represented by other 526 chapter 10: ocular manifestations of inherited diseases 527 asterisked entries and that the mode of inheritance of the phe- notype has been proven.
