New CDH3 Mutation in the First Spanish Case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, a Case Report
Blanco-Kelly et al. BMC Medical Genetics (2017) 18:1 DOI 10.1186/s12881-016-0364-5 CASEREPORT Open Access New CDH3 mutation in the first Spanish case of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, a case report Fiona Blanco-Kelly1,2, Luciana Rodrigues-Jacy da Silva1, Iker Sanchez-Navarro1, Rosa Riveiro-Alvarez1,2, Miguel Angel Lopez-Martinez1, Marta Corton1,2 and Carmen Ayuso1,2,3* Abstract Background: CDH3 on 16q22.1 is responsible for two rare autosomal recessive disorders with hypotrichosis and progressive macular dystrophy: Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy and Ectodermal Dysplasia, Ectrodactyly and Macular Dystrophy. We present a new case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy. Case presentation: A Spanish male born in 1998 from non-consanguineous healthy parents with a suspected diagnosis of Keratosis Follicularis Spinulosa Decalvans and Retinitis Pigmentosa Inversa referred to our Genetics Department (IIS-Fundación Jiménez Díaz). Molecular study of ABCA4 was performed, and a heterozygous missense p.Val2050Leu variant in ABCA4 was found. Clinical revision reclassified this patient as Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy. Therefore, further CDH3 sequencing was performed showing a novel maternal missense change p.Val205Met (probably pathogenic by in silico analysis), and a previously reported paternal frameshift c.830del;p.Gly277Alafs*20, thus supporting the clinical diagnosis.. Conclusions: This is not only the first Spanish case with this clinical and molecular diagnosis, but a new mutation has been described in CDH3. Moreover, this work reflects the importance of joint assessment of clinical signs and evaluation of pedigree for a correct genetic study approach and diagnostic.

MR Imaging of Kallmann Syndrome, a Genetic Disorder of Neuronal Migration Affecting the Olfactory and Genital Systems
MR Imaging of Kallmann Syndrome, a Genetic Disorder of Neuronal Migration Affecting the Olfactory and Genital Systems 1 2 2 3 4 Charles L. Truwit, ' A. James Barkovich, Melvin M. Grumbach, and John J. Martini PURPOSE: We report the MR findings in nine patients with clinical and laboratory evidence of Kallmann syndrome (KS), a genetic disorder of olfactory and gonadal development. In patients with KS, cells that normally express luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone fail to migrate from the medial olfactory placode along the terminalis nerves into the forebrain. In addition, failed neuronal migration from the lateral olfactory placode along the olfactory fila to the forebrain results in aplasia or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. Patients with KS, therefore, suffer both reproductive and olfactory dysfunction. METHODS: Nine patients with KS underwent direct coronal MR of their olfactory regions in order to assess the olfactory sulci, bulbs, and tracts. A lOth patient had MR findings of KS, although the diagnosis is not yet confirmed by laboratory tests. RESULTS: Abnormalities of the olfactory system were identified in all patients. In particular, the anterior portions of the olfactory sulci were uniformly hypoplastic. The olfactory bulbs and tracts appeared hypoplastic or aplastic in all patients in whom the bulb/ tract region was satisfactorily imaged. In two (possibly three) patients, prominent soft tissue in the region of the bulbs suggests radiographic evidence of neurons that have been arrested before migration. CONCLUSIONS: Previous investigators of patients with KS used axial MR images to demonstrate hypoplasia of the olfactory sulci but offered no assessment of the olfactory bulbs. -

Whole Exome Sequencing Gene package Vision disorders, version 6.1, 31-1-2020 Technical information DNA was enriched using Agilent SureSelect DNA + SureSelect OneSeq 300kb CNV Backbone + Human All Exon V7 capture and paired-end sequenced on the Illumina platform (outsourced). The aim is to obtain 10 Giga base pairs per exome with a mapped fraction of 0.99. The average coverage of the exome is ~50x. Duplicate and non-unique reads are excluded. Data are demultiplexed with bcl2fastq Conversion Software from Illumina. Reads are mapped to the genome using the BWA-MEM algorithm (reference: http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/). Variant detection is performed by the Genome Analysis Toolkit HaplotypeCaller (reference: http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/). The detected variants are filtered and annotated with Cartagenia software and classified with Alamut Visual. It is not excluded that pathogenic mutations are being missed using this technology. At this moment, there is not enough information about the sensitivity of this technique with respect to the detection of deletions and duplications of more than 5 nucleotides and of somatic mosaic mutations (all types of sequence changes).
