Abstract Cutis laxa is a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by abundant and wrinkled skin and a variable degree of intellectual disability. Cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type IIIA and autosomal dominant 3 syndromes are caused by autosomal recessive or de novo pathogenic variants in ALDH18A1. Autosomal recessive variants are known to lead to the most severe neurological phenotype, and very few patients Keywords have been described. ► cutis laxa We describe a 13-month-old patient with cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type IIIA, with ► ALDH18A1 an extremely severe phenotype, including novel neurological findings.

These progeroid syndromes are defined as segmental because only some of the features observed during natural aging are accelerated. Methods: Since 2015, the Molecular Genetics Laboratory in Marseille La Timone Hospital proposes molecular diagnosis of premature aging syndromes including laminopathies and related disorders upon NGS sequencing of a panel of 82 genes involved in these syndromes. We analyzed the results obtained in 4 years on 66 patients issued from France and abroad. Results: Globally, pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (ACMG class 5 or 4) were identified in about 1/4 of the cases; among these, 9 pathogenic variants were novel. On the other hand, the diagnostic yield of our panel was over 60% when the patients were addressed upon a nosologically specific clinical suspicion, excepted for connective tissue disorders, for which clinical diagnosis may be more challenging.

Skin symptoms are associated with variable systemic involvement. The most common, genetically highly heterogeneous form of autosomal recessive CL, ARCL2, is frequently associated with variable metabolic and neurological symptoms. Progeroid symptoms, dysmorphic features, hypotonia and psychomotor retardation are highly overlapping in the early phase of these disorders. This makes the genetic diagnosis often challenging. In search for discriminatory symptoms, we prospectively evaluated clinical, neurologic, metabolic and genetic features in our patient cohort referred for suspected ARCL. From a cohort of 26 children, we confirmed mutations in genes associated with ARCL in 16 children (14 probands), including 12 novel mutations. Abnormal glycosylation and gyration abnormalities were mostly, but not always associated with ATP6V0A2 mutations. Epilepsy was most common in ATP6V0A2 defects. Corpus callosum dysgenesis was associated with PYCR1 and ALDH18A1 mutations. Dystonic posturing was discriminatory for PYCR1 and ALDH18A1 defects. Metabolic markers of mitochondrial dysfunction were found in one patient with PYCR1 mutations. So far unreported white matter abnormalities were found associated with GORAB and RIN2 mutations.

    Diagnoses Cues for the Adult Long Term Care Functional Screen (LTCFS) December 2020 This alphabetical listing indicates which box screeners should check on the Diagnoses Table of the Adult LTCFS for diagnoses common to people with long-term care needs. The Diagnoses Table contains categories A through K, with numbered rows within each category. When selecting “Other” in any category, a diagnosis must be entered in the text box provided on the Functional Screen Information Access (FSIA) application. • Screeners must verify a person’s diagnoses. Diagnoses are verified by referring to health records, consulting with a nurse or other health care professional, or if very clearly stated, in exact medical terms, by the person, family, guardian, advocate, etc. Exceptions to these criteria are that a screener must verify a psychiatric, behavioral, dementia or intellectual disability diagnosis directly with a health care provider, medical record, the Children’s Long Term Support Functional Screen or the disability determination diagnosis from the Social Security Administration. See Module 4: Diagnoses, of the Wisconsin LTCFS Instructions for further information on verification of diagnoses. • Do not list any diagnosis that pertains to a condition that has been cured or eliminated by medical treatment, therapy or surgery. Often medical records from health care providers or diagnoses used to find an individual eligible for Social Security benefits are not current. Select diagnoses only for CURRENT conditions. When in doubt, consult with the health care provider treating the person for whom you are completing the LTCFS. • Do not guess which box to check on the Diagnoses Table.
