Attardi, E-mail: [email protected] Edited by Chandra S. Verma While it is well appreciated that loss of the p53 tumor suppressor protein promotes cancer, growing evidence indicates that increased p53 activity underlies the developmental defects in a wide range of genetic syndromes. The inherited or de novo mutations that cause these syndromes affect diverse cellular processes, such as ribosome biogenesis, DNA repair, and centriole duplication, and analysis of human patient samples and mouse models demonstrates that disrupting these cellular processes can activate the p53 pathway. Importantly, many of the developmental defects in mouse models of these syndromes can be rescued by loss of p53, indicating that inappropriate p53 activation directly contributes to their pathogenesis. A role for p53 in driving developmental defects is further sup- ported by the observation that mouse strains with broad p53 hyperactivation, due to mutations affecting p53 pathway components, dis- play a host of tissue-specific developmental defects, including hematopoietic, neuronal, craniofacial, cardiovascular, and pigmentation defects. Furthermore, germline activating mutations in TP53 were recently identified in two human patients exhibiting bone marrow fail- ure and other developmental defects. Studies in mice suggest that p53 drives developmental defects by inducing apoptosis, restraining proliferation, or modulating other developmental programs in a cell type-dependent manner. Here, we review the growing body of evi- dence from mouse models that implicates p53 as a driver of tissue-specific developmental defects in diverse genetic syndromes.

  • Sequence Analysis of Familial Neurodevelopmental Disorders
    SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF FAMILIAL NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS by Joseph Mark Tilghman A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December 2020 © 2020 Joseph Tilghman All Rights Reserved Abstract: In the practice of human genetics, there is a gulf between the study of Mendelian and complex inheritance. When diagnosis of families affected by presumed monogenic syndromes is undertaken by genomic sequencing, these families are typically considered to have been solved only when a single gene or variant showing apparently Mendelian inheritance is discovered. However, about half of such families remain unexplained through this approach. On the other hand, common regulatory variants conferring low risk of disease still predominate our understanding of individual disease risk in complex disorders, despite rapidly increasing access to rare variant genotypes through sequencing. This dissertation utilizes primarily exome sequencing across several developmental disorders (having different levels of genetic complexity) to investigate how to best use an individual’s combination of rare and common variants to explain genetic risk, phenotypic heterogeneity, and the molecular bases of disorders ranging from those presumed to be monogenic to those known to be highly complex. The study described in Chapter 2 addresses putatively monogenic syndromes, where we used exome sequencing of four probands having syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders from an Israeli-Arab founder population to diagnose recessive and dominant disorders, highlighting the need to consider diverse modes of inheritance and phenotypic heterogeneity. In the study described in Chapter 3, we address the case of a relatively tractable multifactorial disorder, Hirschsprung disease.

Thorough basic knowledge about various orofacial syndromes would help us in diagnosis and perform successful management for patients. This paper briefly reviews various syndromes associated with the orofacial region. Methods: This study reviews on clear detailed representation of syndromes from original articles, overviews, case reports and reviews. Results: Several relevant reports were identified and collected to enlist the list of syndromes associated with craniofacial manifestations. Conclusion: This article is constructed to help the health care providers to understand and aid in the diagnosis to provide an optimal personalized care for individuals.

Medical College, Rajasthan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Background and Objectives: Clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) / Computerised Tomography (CT) scans of patients with lissencephaly were reviewed. The clinico-anatomic profile and type of lissencephaly in patients attending the Paediatric Neurology Clinic in Western Rajasthan was determined. The major comorbid conditions, maternal and fetal factors associated with lissencephaly were also studied. Methods: Patients with radiologically proven lissencephaly were included in the study. A detailed epidemiologic profile, clinical history, neurologic examination and neuro-imaging details (CT/MRI) were recorded. The data collected was analyzed. Results and Interpretation: The prevalence of lissencephaly amongst the patients attending the clinic was 0.49%. All patients had anatomical features compatible with impaired neuronal migration. Seizure was the most common comorbid (90.9%) condition associated with lissencephaly. Conclusion: MRI and appropriate genetic studies as feasible should be done to aid in accurate clinco-anatomic and genetic diagnosis in all patients suspected of having a congenital Central Nervous System (CNS) malformation such as lissencephaly.

  • Ajnr.A4552.Full.Pdf
    Published November 12, 2015 as 10.3174/ajnr.A4552 ORIGINAL RESEARCH PEDIATRICS Disorders of Microtubule Function in Neurons: Imaging Correlates X C.A. Mutch, X A. Poduri, X M. Sahin, X B. Barry, X C.A. Walsh, and X A.J. Barkovich ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A number of recent studies have described malformations of cortical development with mutations of components of microtubules and microtubule-associated proteins. Despite examinations of a large number of MRIs, good phenotype-genotype correlations have been elusive. Additionally, most of these studies focused exclusively on cerebral cortical findings. The purpose of this study was to characterize imaging findings associated with disorders of microtubule function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MRIs from 18 patients with confirmed tubulin mutations (8 TUBA1A,5TUBB2B, and 5 TUBB3) and 15 patients with known mutations of the genes encoding microtubule-associated proteins (5 LIS1,4DCX, and 6 DYNC1H1) were carefully visually analyzed and compared. Specific note was made of the cortical gyral pattern, basal ganglia, and white matter to assess internal capsular size, cortical thickness, ventricular and cisternal size, and the size and contours of the brain stem, cerebellar hemispheres and vermis, and the corpus callosum of patients with tubulin and microtubule-associated protein gene mutations. Results were determined by unanimous consensus of the authors. RESULTS: All patients had abnormal findings on MR imaging. A large number of patients with tubulin gene mutations were found to have multiple cortical and subcortical abnormalities, including microcephaly, ventriculomegaly, abnormal gyral and sulcal patterns (termed “dysgyria”), a small or absent corpus callosum, and a small pons. All patients with microtubule-associated protein mutations also had abnormal cerebral cortices (predominantly pachygyria and agyria), but fewer subcortical abnormalities were noted.

  • Blueprint Genetics Neuronal Migration Disorder Panel
    Neuronal Migration Disorder Panel Test code: MA2601 Is a 59 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of neuronal migration disorder. About Neuronal Migration Disorder Neuronal migration disorders (NMDs) are a group of birth defects caused by the abnormal migration of neurons in the developing brain and nervous system. During development, neurons must migrate from the areas where they are originate to the areas where they will settle into their proper neural circuits. The structural abnormalities found in NMDs include schizencephaly, porencephaly, lissencephaly, agyria, macrogyria, polymicrogyria, pachygyria, microgyria, micropolygyria, neuronal heterotopias, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and agenesis of the cranial nerves. Mutations of many genes are involved in neuronal migration disorders, such as DCX in classical lissencephaly spectrum, TUBA1A in microlissencephaly with agenesis of the corpus callosum, and RELN and VLDLR in lissencephaly with cerebellar hypoplasia. Mutations in ARX cause a variety of phenotypes ranging from hydranencephaly or lissencephaly to early-onset epileptic encephalopathies, including Ohtahara syndrome and infantile spasms or intellectual disability with no brain malformations.
