Background: Patients with DNM1-encephalopathy almost exclusively have missense variants, mostly in the GTPase domain of DNM1. Delayed myelination has been reported in at least three patients with DNM1-encephalopathy, all with missense mutations in the DNM1 central domain. Only one DNM1 splice-site variant has previously been reported, and the authors questioned whether the variant accounted for all aspects of the patient’s phenotype. Methods: Case-Report. Results: Our patient had hypotonia and brief multifocal tonic seizures from age-1-month. He still has profound global developmental delay, daily seizures and microcephaly. MRI-Brain at age-21-months showed T2 hyperintensity in the bilateral periventricular and subcortical white matter; spectroscopy showed a questionable lactate peak and an elevated choline peak relative to N-acetylaspartate. Clinical gene-panel identified a heterozygous de novo pathogenic variant in intron 9 of DNM1 (c.1197-8G > A; IVS9- 8G>A). In-silico tools categorized this variant as deleterious secondary to a splicing defect. RT-PCR analysis on peripheral blood was unsuccessful as DNM1 expression is extremely low outside of the brain. Conclusions: Our patient carried the same DNM1 variant previously reported, indicating this is a recurrent pathogenic splice-site variant. The spectroscopic abnormalities suggest a possible element of demyelination in DNM1 variants of the central domain, though the mechanism remains unclear.

Abstract Background The most frequently identified strong cancer predisposition mutations for colorectal cancer (CRC) are those in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes in Lynch syndrome. Laboratory diagnostics include testing tumors for immunohistochemical staining (IHC) of the Lynch syndrome-associated DNA MMR proteins and/or for microsatellite instability (MSI) followed by sequencing or other techniques, such as denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), to identify the mutation. Methods In an ongoing project focusing on finding Mendelian cancer syndromes we applied whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing (WES/WGS) to 19 CRC families. Results Three families were identified with a pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variant in a MMR gene that had previously tested negative in DHPLC gene variant screening. All families had a history of CRC in several family members across multiple generations. Tumor analysis showed loss of the MMR protein IHC staining corresponding to the mutated genes, as well as MSI. In family A, a structural variant, a duplication of exons 4 to 13, was identified in MLH1. The duplication was predicted to lead to a frameshift at amino acid 520 and a premature stop codon at amino acid 539. In family B, a 1 base pair deletion was found in MLH1, resulting in a frameshift and a stop codon at amino acid 491. In family C, we identified a splice site variant in MSH2, which was predicted to lead loss of a splice donor site. Conclusions We identified altogether three pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the MMR genes in three of the 19 sequenced families. The MLH1 variants, a duplication of exons 4 to 13 and a frameshift variant, were novel, based on the InSiGHT and ClinVar databases; the MSH2 splice site variant was reported by a single submitter in ClinVar. As a variant class, duplications have rarely been reported in the MMR gene literature, particularly those covering several exons.

A heterozygous de novo G to A point mutation in intron 8 at the +5 position of the splice donor site of the gene for the pro alpha 1(I) chain of type I procollagen, COL1A1, was defined in a patient with type IV osteogenesis imperfecta. The splice donor site mutation resulted not only in the skipping of the upstream exon 8 but also unexpectedly had the secondary effect of activating a cryptic splice site in the next upstream intron, intron 7, leading to re-definition of the 3′ limit of exon 7. These pre-mRNA splicing aberrations cause the deletion of exon 8 sequences from the mature mRNA and the inclusion of 96 bp of intron 7 sequence. Since the mis-splicing of the mutant allele product resulted in the maintenance of the correct codon reading frame, the resultant pro alpha 1(I) chain contained a short non-collagenous 32-amino-acid sequence insertion within the repetitive Gly-Xaa-Yaa collagen sequence motif. At the protein level, the mutant alpha 1(I) chain was revealed by digestion with pepsin, which cleaved the mutant procollagen within the protease-sensitive non-collagenous insertion, producing a truncated alpha 1(I). This protease sensitivity demonstrated the structural distortion to the helical structure caused by the insertion. In long-term culture with ascorbic acid, which stimulates the formation of a mature crosslinked collagen matrix, and in tissues, there was no evidence of the mutant chain, suggesting that during matrix formation the mutant chain was unable to stably incorporated into the matrix and was degraded proteolytically.
