Scalp Defects

The scalp-ear-nipple (SEN) syndrome is an infrequent congenital disease. Its main features are scalp defects, malformed ears, and absence of nipples. Most of the reported cases are autosomal dominant. We report on a patient suffering SEN syndrome with possible autosomal recessive inheritance. It is concluded that SEN syndrome should be recognized as an entity with genetic heterogeneity once there is evidence of different genetic manner of inheritance described in this disease.

Lung Cancer Patients

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.

We studied 228 patients, with suspected or confirmed genetic hearing loss, in order to determine the clinical and genetic diagnoses and etiology of each case. Deafness with no associated abnormalities was found in 146 patients (64%) belonging to 112 families. Syndromic deafness was diagnosed in 82 patients (36%) belonging to 76 families. The genetic etiology was as follows: autosomal recessive inheritance in 40.8% of syndromics and non-syndromics, autosomal dominant inheritance in 13.2% and X-linked recessive in 1.3%. In 44.7% of the cases, the etiology of the hearing loss could not be determined. Monogenic causes are the most possible etiology in the latter cases. Parental consanguinity was found in 22.4% of the cases, and deafness was bilateral, profound and neurosensorial in 47.4% of the patients. An early onset of hearing loss (< 2 years of age) occurred in 46.5% of the cases. These results are similar to previous literature reports.

Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is a rare disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance. The cardinal features include prematurity, vernix like hyperkeratosis, eosinophilia and neonatal asphyxiation. This case report discusses the presentation and management of IPS. We aim to characterise the common features, the spectrum of disease within a single family and discuss a potential role for low-dose dexamethasone in the management of ventilator-dependent patients with IPS.

Abstract Inherited defects of platelet function disorders are rare and difficult to diagnose due to lack of standardized platelet tests. An aspirin-like platelet defect is characterised by reduced thromboxane A2 (TXA2) signalling due to a defect in the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in platelets. Patients with aspirin-like defect present with mild to moderate bleeding symptoms and impaired platelet aggregation responses to AA and ADP. This is similar to the irreversible effect of aspirin on platelets, which is mediated through inhibition of prostaglandin H synthase-1 also known as cyclooxygenase-1 (PTGS1/COX1). We for the first time report platelet function disorders due to autosomal recessive inheritance of variants in PTGS1. In a total of 3563 cases with bleeding disorders, comprising 1169 whole genome sequenced probands of the BRIDGE-BPD study and 2394 panel sequenced index cases of the ThromboGenomics cohort, we identified 15 unrelated cases of each cohort with an aspirin-like platelet function defect. Two of these cases had rare a variants in PTGS1, the gene encoding COX-1, which catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. The first case presented with epistaxis and peri-operative bleeding. She had reduced platelet aggregation responses to arachidonic acid, ADP, collagen and epinephrine. Incubation of control blood with collagen resulted in enhanced levels of thromboxane B2, PGD2, PGE2, 11-HETE and 15-HETE which was absent in the index case.We identified a homozygous missense variant in PTGS1, p.Trp322Ser with a Combined Annotation Dependant Depletion Score (CADD) of 31.0. This variant was absent from GnomAD. The variant co-segregated in an autosomal recessive inheritance mode, with aspirin-like defect phenotype in the seven family members who were investigated. PTGS1 was not expressed on the platelets by western blot. Immunophenotyping demonstrated absence on the platelet surface but presence on neutrophils. The second case of the presented with menorrhagia, nosebleeds, easy bleeding and bruising. She had reduced aggregation responses to arachidonic acid, ADP, collagen and epinephrine. We identified two variants in cis: a splice-donor variant (g. 125133553 T>A), CADD 24.3; and an upstream non-coding variant (g. 125132069 C>G), CADD 16.63. The frequency of these variants were respectively; 1.7 x 10-5 and 8 x 10-3 in GnomAD. Platelet RNA and protein expression studies in the propositus revealed alternative splicing with the generation of a smaller protein due the splice variant. In contrast, the non coding variant had no effect on promoter or enhancer activity and therefore, is likely benign. In this case, the mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant with a dominant negative effect, which has been reported previously. For the other 13 cases of the Bridge-BPD study we also interrogated the non-coding space and interactors in the arachidonic acid pathway, none of which had genetic variants explaining the phenotype. For the 15 ThromboGenomics cohort cases because they were sequenced on targeted platform similar investigations could not take place. These cases could have a non inherited cause for the platelet defect or it is also permissible that variation in a hitherto undefined pathways unique to individual cases might be causal. In conclusion, we for the first time report autosomal recessive inheritance of variants in PTGS1 as cause for a rare inherited bleeding disorder. The effect of the mutation are selective loss of expression of PTGS1 within platelets and decreased enzyme function. Two previous reports demonstrated autosomal dominant inheritance. The first demonstrated autosomal dominant inheritance of variants in PTGS1 as modifier in a well characterized family with haemophilia A and platelet function disorder (Nance et al JTH 2016). The second reported rare heterozygous variants in PTGS1 in two cases with a bleeding tendency which was not further specified in the report (Bastida et al Haematologica 2018).
