We aimed to understand the etiology behind the abnormal craniofacial contour and other clinical presentations in a number of children with Robinow syndrome. Seven children with Robinow syndrome were enrolled in this study (autosomal recessive caused by homozygous mutations in the ROR2 gene on chromosome 9q22, and the autosomal dominant caused by heterozygous mutation in the WNT5A gene on chromosome 3p14). In the autosomal recessive (AR) group, the main clinical presentations were intellectual, disability, poor schooling achievement, episodes of headache/migraine, and poor fine motor coordinative skills, in addition to massive restrictions of the spine biomechanics causing effectively the development of kyposcoliosis and frequent bouts of respiratory infections. Three-dimensional reconstruction computed tomography scan revealed early closure of the metopic and the squamosal sutures of skull bones. Massive spinal malsegmentation and unsegmented spinal bar were noted in the AR group. In addition to severe mesomelia and camptodactyly, in the autosomal dominant (AD) group, no craniosynostosis but few Wormian bones and the spine showed limited malsegemetation, and no mesomelia or camptodactyly have been noted. We wish to stress that little information is available in the literature regarding the exact pathology of the cranial bones, axial, and appendicular malformations in correlation with the variable clinical presentations in patients with the 2 types of Robinow syndrome.

Tubulopathies are a group of heterogeneous diseases that are manifested in the malfunction of the renal tubules. This review addresses tubulopathies associated with polyuria syndrome, namely renal glucosuria syndrome, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and pseudohyperaldosteronism. Types of renal glucosuria are described, namely: type A, type B and the most severe type 0. Type A is characterized by a low filtration threshold and low glucose reabsorption. The type of inheritance is autosomal recessive. Type B, autosomal dominant, is characterized by uneven activity of glucose transport, in which its reabsorption is reduced only in some nephrons. That is, normal reabsorption of glucose is maintained, but the filtration threshold of the latter is reduced. Type 0 with a severe course is characterized by complete inability of epithelial cells of the proximal tubules to reabsorb glucose. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a rare inherited disease caused by impaired response of the renal tubules to antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Depending on the degree of inability to concentrate urine, there are complete and partial forms. It is divided into nephrogenic diabetes insipidus type I (X-linked recessive); nephrogenic diabetes insipidus type II (autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant) and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus syndrome with dementia and intracerebral calcifications (type of inheritance remains unknown). Children with autosomal recessive type of inheritance suffer from the more severe disease course. Pseudohypoaldosteronism is characterized by a special condition of the renal tubules which is due to insufficient sensitivity of the tubular epithelium to aldosterone, which in turn leads to hyperaldosteronism, the development of hyponatremia, metabolic acidosis with hyperkalemia, polydipsia and polyuria, decreased sodium reabsorption and retardation of the child's physical development. The classification includes three syndromes of pseudohypoaldosteronism, namely: type I (PHA1), which is divided into PHA1A (autosomal dominant, renal), PHA1B (autosomal recessive, systemic); type II (PHA2; Gordon’s syndrome), type III (secondary), which develops as a result of renal pathology.

AbstractANK3 encodes multiple isoforms of ankyrin-G, resulting in variegated tissue expression and function, especially regarding its role in neuronal development. Based on the zygosity, location, and type, ANK3 variants result in different neurodevelopmental phenotypes. Autism spectrum disorder has been associated with heterozygous missense variants in ANK3, whereas a more severe neurodevelopmental phenotype is caused by isoform-dependent, autosomal-dominant, or autosomal-recessive loss-of-function variants. Here, we present four individuals affected by a variable neurodevelopmental phenotype harboring a heterozygous frameshift or nonsense variant affecting all ANK3 transcripts. Thus, we provide further evidence of an isoform-based phenotypic continuum underlying ANK3-associated pathologies and expand its phenotypic spectrum.

Abstract Hemochromatosis is a common disorder characterized by excess iron absorption and accumulation of iron in tissues. Usually hemochromatosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and is caused by mutations in the HFE gene. Less common non-HFE–related forms of hemochromatosis have been reported and are caused by mutations in the transferrin receptor 2 gene and in a gene localized to chromosome 1q. Autosomal dominant forms of hemochromatosis have also been described. Recently, 2 mutations in theferroportin1 gene, which encodes the iron transport protein ferroportin1, have been implicated in families with autosomal dominant hemochromatosis from the Netherlands and Italy. We report the finding of a novel mutation (V162del) in ferroportin1 in an Australian family with autosomal dominant hemochromatosis. We propose that this mutation disrupts the function of the ferroportin1 protein, leading to impaired iron homeostasis and iron overload.

e20511 Background: Smoking and air pollution are the major causes of lung cancer; however, numerous studies have demonstrated that genetic factors also contribute to the development of lung cancer. Here, we reported an analysis of genomic features in 65 lung cancer patients with autosomal-dominant or autosomal-recessive inheritance of germline mutations. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed next-generation sequencing data of 26,904 lung cancer patients in a Chinese cohort. The germline mutation patterns, as well as the co-occurrence with somatic driver mutations were analyzed. Results: A total of 65 (0.24%) patients with heterozygous germline mutations associated with hereditary cancer syndromes were detected, including 27 (0.10%) patients with autosomal-dominant inheritance (BRCA1, BRCA2, RET and TP53) and 38 (0.14%) patients with autosomal-recessive inheritance (ATM, BLM, FANCA, FANCG, MUTYH, NBN, RECQL4 and WRN). Comparing to patients with autosomal-dominant inheritance (Age 56±17.8), patients with autosomal-recessive inheritance (Age 65±11.7, P = 0.009) were older, and there is no gender difference. Additionally, 66.7% (18/27) of patients with autosomal-dominant inheritance were identified co-mutated actionable variations, such as 12 patients harboring mutations in exon 18–21 of EGFR, 2 patients harboring ERBB2 exon 20 insertions, 3 patients harboring mutations in exon 2 of KRAS and 1 patient harboring EML4-ALK fusion. The coexistence of germline autosomal-dominant mutations and somatic driver mutations indicated that germline mutations have weak impact on lung cancer. Simultaneously, 52.6% (20/38) of patients with autosomal-recessive inheritance were identified co-mutated actionable variations, such as 15 EGFR+ patients, 2 ERBB2+ patients and 3 KRAS+ patients. And there was no significant difference in population frequency of co-mutated actionable variations between the two groups. Conclusions: In summary, studies on germline mutations of lung cancer patients may help to elucidate the etiology and mechanism of lung cancer, and may help for early detection and diagnosis, targeted therapy and improved prevention strategies.

In 1952 Goldenher described a case with triad of pre auricular tags, mandibular hypoplasia and ocular (epibulbar) dermoid and described the case as Goldenger Syndrome. Exact etiology of this disease is not known. Here we present a case of Goldenher syndrome in a 5 days old newborn who presented with all the classical features except ocular involvement.   Gorlin et.al named this syndrome as oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia due to presence of additional vertebral anomalies .2 Exact etiology of this disease is not known. Most of the cases are sporadic, though autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant and multifactorial inheritance has also been suggested.2.Chromosomal analysis shows no abnormalities.3 In this report we presented a case of Goldenger Syndrome in a 5 days old newborn who presented with all the classical features except occular involvement.

A melogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited defects of dental enamel formation that show both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Enamel findings in AI are highly variable, ranging from deficient enamel formation to defects in the mineral and protein content. Enamel formation requires the expression of multiple genes that transcribes matrix proteins and proteinases needed to control the complex process of crystal growth and mineralization. The AI phenotypes depend on the specific gene involved, the location and type of mutation, and the corresponding putative change at the protein level. Different inheritance patterns such as X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive types have been reported. Mutations in the amelogenin, enamelin, and kallikrein-4 genes have been demonstrated to result in different types of AI and a number of other genes critical to enamel formation have been identified and proposed as candidates for AI. The aim of this article was to present an evaluation of the literature regarding role of proteins and proteinases important to enamel formation and mutation associated with AI.
