RESUMO

Leigh syndrome (LS), also known as infantile subacute necrotizing encephalopathy, is the most frequent mitochondrial disorder in children. Recently, more than 80 genes have been associated with LS, which greatly complicates the diagnosis. In this article, we present clinical and molecular findings of 219 patients with LS and give the detailed description of three cases with rare findings in nuclear genes MORC2, NARS2 and VPS13D, demonstrating wide genetic heterogeneity of this mitochondrial disease. The most common cause of LS in Russian patients are pathogenic variants in the SURF1 gene (44.3% of patients). The most frequent pathogenic variant is c.845_846delCT (66.0% of mutant alleles; 128/192), which is also widespread in Eastern Europe. Five main LS genes, SURF1, SCO2, MT-ATP6, MT-ND5 and PDHA1, account for 70% of all LS cases in the Russian Federation. Using next generation sequencing (NGS) technique, we were able to detect pathogenic variants in other nuclear genes: NDUFV1, NDUFS2, NDUFS8, NDUFAF5, NDUFAF6, NDUFA10, SUCLG1, GFM2, COX10, PMPCB, NARS2, PDHB and SLC19A3, including two genes previously associated with Leigh-like phenotypes-MORC2 and VPS13D. We found 49 previously undescribed nucleotide variants, including two deep intronic variants which affect splicing.

RESUMO

Calvarial doughnut lesions (CDL) with bone fragility with or without spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (MIM: #126550) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mineral density, spinal and peripheral fractures, and specific sclerotic lesions of the cranial bones. In the current classification of skeletal disorders, the disease is included in the group of bone fragility disorders along with osteogenesis imperfecta. The disease is caused by pathogenic variants in the SGMS2 gene, the protein product of which is sphingomyelin synthase 2, which primarily contributes to sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis-the main lipid component of the plasma membrane essential for bone mineralization. To date, 15 patients from eight families with CDL with bone fragility have been described in the literature, and a recurrent variant c.148C>T (p.Arg50Ter) in the SGMS2 gene has been identified, which was found in patients from six families. We diagnosed the disease in 11 more patients from three unrelated families, caused by the same heterozygous nonsense variant c.148C>T (p.Arg50Ter) in the SGMS2 gene. Our results show wide interfamilial and intrafamilial phenotypic variability in patients with a detected recurrent variant in the SGMS2 gene, the presence of which must be taken into consideration in the diagnosis of the disease. The primary analysis of this variant will contribute to optimal molecular genetic diagnostics, which can reduce diagnostic costs and time.

RESUMO

Here we present a patient with a cranioectodermal phenotype associated with pathogenic variants in the IFT140 gene. Most frequently, pathogenic variants in IFT140 correspond to the phenotype of Mainzer-Saldino syndrome. Only four patients have previously been described with this cranioectodermal phenotype and variants in IFT140. In comparison to other IFT140-cranioectodermal patients, our proband had similar skeletal features among with early onset end-stage renal failure that required kidney transplantation but did not have common ophthalmological features such as retinopathy, optic nerve atrophy, or nystagmus. Following exome sequencing, a splicing variant and exons 27-30 tandem duplication were suspected and further validated. The two other patients with Mainzer-Saldino syndrome that we described displayed a typical clinical picture but a special diagnostic journey. In both cases, at first only one pathogenic variant was detected following panel or exome NGS sequencing. Further WGS was performed for one of them where tandem duplication was found. Screening the third patient for the same tandem duplication was successful and revealed the presence of this duplication. Thus, we suggest that the description of the clinical feature polymorphism in a rare IFT140-cranioectodermal phenotype is extremely important for providing genetic counseling for families, as well as the formation of the correct diagnostic path for patients with a variant in IFT140.
