RESUMEN

FINCA syndrome [MIM: 618278] is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by fibrosis, neurodegeneration and cerebral angiomatosis. To date, 13 patients from nine families with biallelic NHLRC2 variants have been published. In all of them, the recurrent missense variant p.(Asp148Tyr) was detected on at least one allele. Common manifestations included lung or muscle fibrosis, respiratory distress, developmental delay, neuromuscular symptoms and seizures often followed by early death due to rapid disease progression.Here, we present 15 individuals from 12 families with an overlapping phenotype associated with nine novel NHLRC2 variants identified by exome analysis. All patients described here presented with moderate to severe global developmental delay and variable disease progression. Seizures, truncal hypotonia and movement disorders were frequently observed. Notably, we also present the first eight cases in which the recurrent p.(Asp148Tyr) variant was not detected in either homozygous or compound heterozygous state.We cloned and expressed all novel and most previously published non-truncating variants in HEK293-cells. From the results of these functional studies, we propose a potential genotype-phenotype correlation, with a greater reduction in protein expression being associated with a more severe phenotype.Taken together, our findings broaden the known phenotypic and molecular spectrum and emphasize that NHLRC2-related disease should be considered in patients presenting with intellectual disability, movement disorders, neuroregression and epilepsy with or without pulmonary involvement.

RESUMEN

Thirteen Escherichia coli strains harboring stx2e were isolated from 11,056 human stools. This frequency corresponded to the presence of the stx2e allele in 1.7% of all Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) strains. The strains harboring stx2e were associated with mild diarrhea (n = 9) or asymptomatic infections (n = 4). Because STEC isolates possessing stx2e are porcine pathogens, we compared the human STEC isolates with stx2e-harboring E. coli isolated from piglets with edema disease and postweaning diarrhea. All pig isolates possessed the gene encoding the F18 adhesin, and the majority possessed adhesin involved in diffuse adherence; these adhesins were absent from all the human STEC isolates. In contrast, the high-pathogenicity island encoding an iron uptake system was found only in human isolates. Host-specific patterns of interaction with intestinal epithelial cells were observed. All human isolates adhered to human intestinal epithelial cell lines T84 and HCT-8 but not to pig intestinal epithelial cell line IPEC-J2. In contrast, the pig isolates completely lysed human epithelial cells but not IPEC-J2 cells, to which most of them adhered. Our data demonstrate that E. coli isolates producing Shiga toxin 2e have imported specific virulence and fitness determinants which allow them to adapt to the specific hosts in which they cause various forms of disease.
