RESUMO

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and early-onset retinal degeneration (EORD) are inherited retinal diseases (IRD) characterized by early-onset vision impairment. Herein, we studied 15 Saudi families by whole exome sequencing (WES) and run-of-homozygosity (ROH) detection via AutoMap in 12/15 consanguineous families. This revealed (likely) pathogenic variants in 11/15 families (73%). A potential founder variant was found in RPGRIP1. Homozygous pathogenic variants were identified in known IRD genes (ATF6, CRB1, CABP4, RDH12, RIMS2, RPGRIP1, SPATA7). We established genotype-driven clinical reclassifications for ATF6, CABP4, and RIMS2. Specifically, we observed isolated IRD in the individual with the novel RIMS2 variant, and we found a retina-enriched RIMS2 isoform conserved but not annotated in mouse. The latter illustrates potential different phenotypic consequences of pathogenic variants depending on the particular tissue/cell-type specific isoforms they affect. Lastly, a compound heterozygous genotype in GUCY2D in one non-consanguineous family was demonstrated, and homozygous variants in novel candidate genes ATG2B and RUFY3 were found in the two remaining consanguineous families. Reporting these genes will allow to validate them in other IRD cohorts. Finally, the missing heritability of the two unsolved IRD cases may be attributed to variants in non-coding regions or structural variants that remained undetected, warranting future WGS studies.

RESUMO

Congenital cone-rod synaptic disorder (CRSD), also known as incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (iCSNB), is a non-progressive inherited retinal disease (IRD) characterized by night blindness, photophobia, and nystagmus, and distinctive electroretinographic features. Here, we report bi-allelic RIMS2 variants in seven CRSD-affected individuals from four unrelated families. Apart from CRSD, neurodevelopmental disease was observed in all affected individuals, and abnormal glucose homeostasis was observed in the eldest affected individual. RIMS2 regulates synaptic membrane exocytosis. Data mining of human adult bulk and single-cell retinal transcriptional datasets revealed predominant expression in rod photoreceptors, and immunostaining demonstrated RIMS2 localization in the human retinal outer plexiform layer, Purkinje cells, and pancreatic islets. Additionally, nonsense variants were shown to result in truncated RIMS2 and decreased insulin secretion in mammalian cells. The identification of a syndromic stationary congenital IRD has a major impact on the differential diagnosis of syndromic congenital IRD, which has previously been exclusively linked with degenerative IRD.

RESUMO

Herein we present a consanguineous family with three children affected by foveal hypoplasia with infantile nystagmus, following an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. The patients showed normal electroretinography responses, no signs of albinism, and no anterior segment or brain abnormalities. Upon whole exome sequencing, we identified a homozygous mutation (c.1861C>T;p.Q621*) in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) gene that perfectly co-segregated with the disease in the larger family. AHR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that has been intensively studied in xenobiotic-induced toxicity. Further, it has been shown to play a physiological role under normal cellular conditions, such as in immunity, inflammatory response and neurogenesis. Notably, knockout of the Ahr gene in mouse impairs optic nerve myelin sheath formation and results in oculomotor deficits sharing many features with our patients: the eye movement disorder in Ahr-/- mice appears early in development and presents as conjugate horizontal pendular nystagmus. We therefore propose AHR to be a novel disease gene for a new, recessively inherited disorder in humans, characterized by infantile nystagmus and foveal hypoplasia.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Chronic keratoconjunctivitis is a rare presentation of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS-1) during the first year of life. Herein, We report a case of a 10-month-old baby girl with chronic bilateral keratoconjunctivitis, corneal scarring and neovascularization that was treated initially with topical immunosuppressants. METHODS: Detailed ophthalmological assessment followed by molecular testing using whole exome sequencing. RESULTS: In addition to the severe chronic bilateral keratoconjunctivitis, corneal scarring and neovascularization, patient weight was found to be low than 10th percentile. Further genetic testing revealed autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene variant that was only reported once in the literature confirming the diagnosis of APS-1. Further workup detected hypoparathyroidism that was treated with calcium supplementation. CONCLUSION: Our case represents the importance of multidisciplinary services and highlights the role of genetic testing in diagnosing such syndromic cases. We reviewed previous reports and found that available treatment for ocular involvement is usually nonsatisfactory; however, early detection and referral by ophthalmologists could result in treating previously undetected endocrine disorders that can be life threatening if left untreated.

RESUMO

Mutations in the ALMS1 gene have been linked to isolated inherited retinal dystrophy or Alström syndrome. This report illustrates the unique pattern of ALMS1-associated diseases in a set of three simplex Saudi patients originating from unrelated consanguineous families. A detailed ophthalmological assessment was performed at the Department of Ophthalmology at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Next-generation sequencing vision panel revealed recessive ALMS1 mutations (reference sequence NM_015120). As a result, three distinct pathogenic ALMS1 mutations were identified; the first one is a nonsense mutation (c.8158C>T: p.R2720X) which has recently been identified in a Chinese patient, while the other two are known to have a founder effect in the Saudi population (the frameshift: C.848dupA: p.E283fs and the splicing: C.11870-2A>T: p.?). Clinically, a prominent nerve fiber layer was observed in the three studied patients with variable expectations of vessel attenuation. In addition, two of our patients observed unusual presentation of specific retinal pigment epithelium pigmentations in semi/halo-arrangement around the macula. Thus far, our report expands the phenotypic-genotypic spectrum of ALMS1-associated diseases and supports the principles of applying precision medicine in Saudi Arabia by utilizing the fact that common founder mutations were identified and unique phenotype was observed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Congenital glaucoma associated with Roberts syndrome (RS) is an unusual and unique condition. No previous report describes this association. A multidisciplinary approach including molecular studies were conducted to reach the final diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: We present a rare case of a 1-wk-old male with RS associated with bilateral congenital glaucoma, left ectopic kidney, and left-hand rudimentary digits. A comprehensive approach was applied by which bilateral non-penetrating glaucoma surgery was performed with good control of intraocular pressure for more than 6 mo. Cytogenetic and molecular testing were conducted and revealed normal measurements. CONCLUSION: This report described a case of a male baby with clinical features of RS but with a negative molecular analysis, presenting with left-hand rudimentary digits, bilateral congenital glaucoma, and left ectopic kidney. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported with phocomelia, bilateral congenital glaucoma, and unilateral ectopic kidney.

RESUMO

CASE DESCRIPTION: A 12-year-old boy with a history of decreased vision and photophobia since he was 1 year old. Comprehensive clinical and molecular approaches were applied to evaluate his condition by which a detailed ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral isolated foveal hypoplasia with the absence of the avascular zone. Novel homozygous aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) splice site mutation NM_001621.4: c.899_908 + 15del (p.?) was identified and segregated within the family members. CONCLUSION: This case represents the first report of autosomal recessive isolated foveal hypoplasia without infantile nystagmus in the literature and the second reported AHR mutation with autosomal recessive isolated foveal hypoplasia post the original cloning paper. Our identified novel splice site AHR mutation supports the pathogenicity of the AHR gene and expands its phenotypic spectrum.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome (Delleman Oorthuys syndrome) (OMIM 164180) is a rare syndrome affecting eyes, skin, and central nervous system, and it is usually associated with microphthalmia. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 4-day old baby boy was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of buphthalmos in the left eye. His clinical evaluation was remarkable for oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome with congenital glaucoma in the left eye and microphthalmos in the right eye. CONCLUSION: Our report represents the first case of oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome associated with unilateral congenital glaucoma so far in the literature.

RESUMO

This study aimed to genetically and clinically characterize a unique cohort of 25 individuals from 21 unrelated families with autosomal recessive nanophthalmos (NNO) and posterior microphthalmia (MCOP) from different ethnicities. An ophthalmological assessment in all families was followed by targeted MFRP and PRSS56 testing in 20 families and whole-genome sequencing in one family. Three families underwent homozygosity mapping using SNP arrays. Eight distinct MFRP mutations were found in 10/21 families (47.6%), five of which are novel including a deletion spanning the 5' untranslated region and the first coding part of exon 1. Most cases harbored homozygous mutations (8/10), while a compound heterozygous and a monoallelic genotype were identified in the remaining ones (2/10). Six distinct PRSS56 mutations were found in 9/21 (42.9%) families, three of which are novel. Similarly, homozygous mutations were found in all but one, leaving 2/21 families (9.5%) without a molecular diagnosis. Clinically, all patients had reduced visual acuity, hyperopia, short axial length and crowded optic discs. Retinitis pigmentosa was observed in 5/10 (50%) of the MFRP group, papillomacular folds in 12/19 (63.2%) of MCOP and in 3/6 (50%) of NNO cases. A considerable phenotypic variability was observed, with no clear genotype-phenotype correlations. Overall, our study represents the largest NNO and MCOP cohort reported to date and provides a genetic diagnosis in 19/21 families (90.5%), including the first MFRP genomic rearrangement, offering opportunities for gene-based therapies in MFRP-associated disease. Finally, our study underscores the importance of sequence and copy number analysis of the MFRP and PRSS56 genes in MCOP and NNO.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN; OMIM 31700) with X-linked inheritance is one of the most common forms of infantile nystagmus. Up to date, three X-linked loci have been identified, Xp11.4-p11.3 (calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase [CASK]), Xp22 (GPR143), and Xq26-q27 (FRMD7), respectively. Here, we investigated the role of mutations and copy number variations (CNV) of FRMD7 and GPR143 in the molecular pathogenesis of IIN in 49 unrelated Belgian probands. METHODS: We set up a comprehensive molecular genetic workflow based on Sanger sequencing, targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) and CNV analysis using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for FRMD7 (NM_194277.2) and GPR143 (NM_000273.2). RESULTS: In 11/49 probands, nine unique FRMD7 changes were found, five of which are novel: frameshift mutation c.2036del, missense mutations c.801C>A and c.875T>C, splice-site mutation c.497+5G>A, and one genomic rearrangement (1.29 Mb deletion) in a syndromic case. Additionally, four known mutations were found: c.70G>A, c.886G>C, c.910C>T, and c.660del. The latter was found in three independent families. In silico predictions and segregation testing of the novel mutations support their pathogenic effect. No GPR143 mutations or CNVs were found in the remainder of the probands (38/49). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, genetic defects of FRMD7 were found in 11/49 (22.4%) probands, including the first reported genomic rearrangement of FRMD7 in IIN, expanding its mutational spectrum. Finally, we generate a discovery cohort of IIN patients potentially harboring either hidden a variation of FRMD7 or mutations in genes at known or novel loci sustaining the genetic heterogeneity of IIN.
