Phenotypic Reversion

Normal pigmentation depends on the uniform distribution of melanin-containing vesicles, the melanosomes, in the epidermis. Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease, characterized by an immune deficiency and a partial albinism that has been ascribed to an abnormal melanosome distribution. GS maps to 15q21 and was first associated with mutations in the myosin-V gene. However, it was demonstrated recently that GS can also be caused by a mutation in the Rab27a gene. These observations prompted us to investigate the role of Rab27a in melanosome transport. Using immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy studies, we show that in normal melanocytes Rab27a colocalizes with melanosomes. In melanocytes isolated from a patient with GS, we show an abnormal melanosome distribution and a lack of Rab27a expression. Finally, reexpression of Rab27a in GS melanocytes restored melanosome transport to dendrite tips, leading to a phenotypic reversion of the diseased cells. These results identify Rab27a as a key component of vesicle transport machinery in melanocytes.

Insight Into

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC; MIM ID #225500) is a rare congenital disease with an occurrence of 1 in 60,000. It is characterized by remarkable skeletal dysplasia, such as short limbs, ribs and polydactyly, and orofacial anomalies. With two of three patients first noted as being offspring of consanguineous marriage, this autosomal recessive disease results from mutations in one of two causative genes: EVC or EVC2/LIMBIN. The recent identification and manipulation of genetic homologs in animals has deepened our understanding beyond human case studies and provided critical insight into disease pathogenesis. This review highlights the utility of animal-based studies of EVC by summarizing: (1) molecular biology of EVC and EVC2/LIMBIN, (2) human disease signs, (3) dysplastic limb development, (4) craniofacial anomalies, (5) tooth anomalies, (6) tracheal cartilage abnormalities, and (7) EVC-like disorders in non-human species.

Rare Autosomal Recessive Disease

Ellis Van Creveld, a syndrome comprising of chondrodysplasia, bilateral polydactyly of the hands with skeletal abnormalities, and congenital heart defect is a rare autosomal recessive disease. The prevalence of the disease in the world is 1/6000–20,000 newborns. In the Indian population, it is difficult to estimate the exact prevalence of the disease but, it is mostly seen in the Amish population. The cardinal features are short stature, dysplastic nails and teeth, polydactyly, narrow chest, and heart defects. The crucial differentials are Jeune dystrophy, Weyers syndrome, and McKusick-Kaufman syndrome. Here, we report a neonate, born of a non-consanguineous marriage with a syndromic appearance consisting of a bell-shaped chest, polydactyly, natal teeth, and single atrium. Prognosis is related to respiratory and heart defects in the early neonatal period.

The article considers the issue of cystic fibrosis – a monogenic autosomal recessive disease. It describes the history of the CFTR gene discovery, the further search for modifier genes to explain the variability of the clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis. The review discusses problems of connective tissue dysplasia and somatic pathology, which is formed due to the connective tissue dysmorphogenesis in patients with cystic fibrosis; and also the article contains justification for the connection between the formation of severe fibrosis of the lungs and liver and the presence of clinical and genetic markers of connective tissue dysplasia. The author assumes that the clinical and genetic polymorphisms of connective tissue influence the course of cystic fibrosis, formation of bronchiectasis, interstitial pneumofibrosis, cystic fibrosis dysplasia, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.

Introduction: Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is an uncommon genetic disease that can be diagnosed at any age. Observation: A case of EVC syndrome was reported in a young 3-year-old female patient presenting chondroectodermal dysplasia, polydactyly, congenital heart defects, damage to the oral mucosa and numerous dental alterations (number, form and structure). Oral management consists of teaching oral hygiene and the prophylactic filling of dental cracks. Discussion: EVC is an autosomal recessive disease. Its diagnosis is only based on clinical features and genetic studies. Conclusion: Dentists should be aware of this syndrome to avoid a late diagnosis and to facilitate a multidisciplinary management.

AbstractProgressive family intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is an autosomal recessive disease that causes chronic cholestasis. It is associated with pathogenic variants in genes that encode proteins involved in bile secretion to canaliculus from hepatocytes. In this study, we present a 16-year-old boy who presented with severe pruritus and cholestatic jaundice. All possible infectious etiologies were negative. A liver biopsy was consistent with intrahepatic cholestasis and portal fibrosis. DNA was isolated from a peripheral blood sample, and whole exome sequencing was performed. A novel c.3484G > T/p.Glu162Ter variant in the ABCB11 gene and a c.208G> A/p.Asp70Asn variant in the ATP8B1 gene were detected. Despite traditional treatment, the patient's recurrent severe symptoms did not improve. The patient was referred for a liver transplantation. This novel c.3484G > T/p.Glu162Ter variant is associated with a severe and recurrent presentation, and the two compound variants could explain the severity of PFIC.

Mammalian zinc metalloenzymes include alkaline phosphatase. Zinc plays a crucial role in nucleic acid metabolism. RNA and DNA polymerases and thymidine kinase are zinc-dependent enzymes. Zinc deficiency in North America is most clearly seen in the disease acrodermatitis enteropathica. This is an autosomal recessive disease due to a zinc metabolic error—not well defined—which leads to zinc deficiency. Clinical manifestations include a rash around orifices, alopecia, and diarrhea. The laboratory can demonstrate hypozincemia and hypozincuria. Clinical and biochemical remission occurs with oral zinc administration.(R.H.R.)

Синдром Барде-Бидля - аутосомно-рецессивное заболевание, характеризующееся ожирением, пигментной дегенерацией сетчатки, полидактилией, задержкой психоречевого развития и структурными повреждениями почек. В работе представлены результаты применения МПС-панели, включающей кодирующие последовательности и прилегающие интронные области 21 гена, ассоциированного с синдромом Барде-Бидля. Впервые была проведена молекулярно-генетическая диагностика в группе из сорока российских пациентов с синдромом Барде-Бидля из неродственных семей. В результате исследования удалось подтвердить диагноз молекулярно-генетическим методом у 40% пациентов (n=16). В генах BBS1, BBS7 и BBS10 встретились повторяющиеся варианты. Частота встречаемости патогенных и вероятно патогенных вариантов в генах BBS1 и BBS10 у российских пациентов соответствует зарубежным данным. Варианты в гене BBS7 встретились у пяти человек, у четырех из них был обнаружен патогенный вариант c.1967_1968delTAinsC, не встречающийся в других популяциях. Результаты, представленные в статье, показывают значительный вклад в заболеваемость синдромом Барде-Бидля в российской популяции патогенных вариантов в гене BBS7. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, development delay, and structural kidney defects. This study shows the results of using an MPS panel that includes coding sequences and intronic areas of 21 genes associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome. For the first time molecular genetic testing has been provided for the group of 40 Russian patiens with Bardet-Biedl syndrome from unrelated families. As a result of the testing, diagnoses were confirmed for 40% of the patients (n=16). The genes BBS1, BBS7, BBS10 had recurrent variants. The frequency of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the genes BBS1 and BBS10 among Russian patients matches the research data in other countries. Variants in the BBS7 gene were found for five people, four of them had a pathogenic variant c.1967_1968delTAinsC, which is not present among other populations. Results provided in this article show the significant role of pathogenic variants in the BBS7 gene in patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome in Russian population.
