　View Summary

Hypopituitarism could have been overlooked so far in the patients with 9q subtelomere deletion syndrome (9qSTDS); thus, further investigations or reevaluation of clinical information, especially hormonal evaluations, are warranted to determine whether hypopituitarism is a rare or relatively common presentation in patients with 9qSTDS.

　View Summary

Germline mutations in TP53 are the primary cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). Most mutations are reported within the DNA-binding domain. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy with LFS who developed early-stage nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, a rare subtype of Hodgkin lymphomas. His sister was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of 1.5 years. Sequence analysis revealed a germline mutation in the transactivation domain of TP53, c.145G>C (p.D49H), in the patient, his sister, and father. One family with LFS with a germline TP53 D49H mutation has previously been reported. This report supports the pathogenicity of this mutation.

BACKGROUND: Mutations in causative genes for neonatal diabetes or maturity-onset diabetes of the young have been identified in multiple patients with autoantibody-negative type 1 diabetes (T1D). OBJECTIVES: We aimed to clarify the prevalence and phenotypic characteristics of monogenic abnormalities among 89 children with autoantibody-negative insulin-requiring T1D. METHODS: Mutations in 30 genes were screened using next-generation sequencing, and copy-number alterations of 4 major causative genes were examined using multiplex-ligation-dependent probe amplification. We compared the clinical characteristics between mutation carriers and non-carriers. RESULTS: We identified 11 probable pathogenic substitutions (6 in INS , 2 in HNF1A , 2 in HNF4A , and 1 in HNF1B ) in 11 cases, but no copy-number abnormalities. Only 2 mutation carriers had affected parents. De novo occurrence was confirmed for 3 mutations. The non-carrier group, but not the carrier group, was enriched with susceptible HLA alleles. Mutation carriers exhibited comparable phenotypes to those of non-carriers, except for a relatively normal body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated significant genetic overlap between autoantibody-negative T1D and monogenic diabetes. Mutations in INS and HNF genes, but not those in GCK and other monogenic diabetes genes, likely play critical roles in children with insulin-requiring T1D. This study also suggests the relatively high de novo rates of INS and HNF mutations, and the etiological link between autoimmune abnormalities and T1D in the non-carrier group. Carriers of monogenic mutations show non-specific phenotypes among all T1D cases, although they are more likely to have a normal BMI at diagnosis than non-carriers.

　View Summary

Germline gain-of-function variants in SAMD9 have been associated with a high risk of mortality and a newly recognized constellation of symptoms described by the acronym MIRAGE: Myelodysplasia, Infection, Restriction of growth, Adrenal insufficiency, Genital phenotypes, and Enteropathy. Here, we describe two additional patients currently living with the syndrome, including one patient with a novel de novo variant for which we provide functional data supporting its pathogenicity. We discuss features of dysmorphology, contrasting with previously described patients as well as drawing attention to additional clinical features, dysautonomia and hearing loss that have not previously been reported. We detail both patients’ courses following diagnosis, with attention to treatment plans and recommended specialist care. Our patients are the oldest known with arginine-substituting amino acid variants, and we conclude that early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management may positively impact outcomes for this vulnerable group of patients.

　View Summary

Objective: Biallelic TSHR mutations cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Serum TSH levels of monoallelic mutation carriers range from normal to mildly elevated, and thus the size of its effect remains unclear. The objectives were to examine the association between monoallelic TSHR mutations and positivity at newborn screening (NBS) for CH, and to test whether the association was modified by another genetic factor. Subjects and methods: We enrolled 395 patients that had a positive result in NBS and sequenced TSHR. Monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers were further sequenced for DUOX2. Molecular functions of the mutations were verified in vitro. The frequency of the mutations in the study subjects was compared with a theoretical value in the Japanese general population. Odds ratio (OR) for NBS positivity associated with the mutation was calculated. Using Bayes' theorem, we estimated a posterior probability of NBS positivity given the mutation. Results: Twenty-six monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers were found. Four out of the 26 also had a monoallelic DUOX2 mutation (double heterozygotes). The frequencies of monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers (6.6%) and double heterozygotes (1.0%) were significantly higher than those in the general population (0.58% and 0.0087%, respectively). OR for NBS positivity of having a monoallelic TSHR mutation or being a double heterozygote was 12.0 or 117.9, respectively. Posterior probability of NBS positivity was 0.38% in monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers and 3.8% in double heterozygotes. Conclusions: Monoallelic TSHR mutations are significantly associated with NBS positivity, and the association is further strengthened by the coexistence of monoallelic DUOX2 mutations.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: Myelodysplasia, infection, restriction of growth, adrenal hypoplasia, genital phenotypes and enteropathy (MIRAGE) syndrome is a recently described congenital disorder caused by heterozygous SAMD9 mutations. The phenotypic spectrum of the syndrome remains to be elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe two unrelated patients who showed manifestations compatible with MIRAGE syndrome, with the exception of haematological features. Leucocyte genomic DNA samples were analysed with next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing, revealing the patients to have two de novoSAMD9 mutations on the same allele (patient 1 p.[Gln695*; Ala722Glu] and patient 2 p.[Gln39*; Asp769Gly]). In patient 1, p.Gln695* was absent in genomic DNA extracted from hair follicles, implying that the non-sense mutation was acquired somatically. In patient 2, with the 46,XX karyotype, skewed X chromosome inactivation pattern was found in leucocyte DNA, suggesting monoclonality of cells in the haematopoietic system. In vitro expression experiments confirmed the growth-restricting capacity of the two missense mutant SAMD9 proteins that is a characteristic of MIRAGE-associated SAMD9 mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Acquisition of a somatic nonsense SAMD9 mutation in the cells of the haematopoietic system might revert the cellular growth repression caused by the germline SAMD9 mutations (ie, second-site reversion mutations). Unexpected lack of haematological features in the two patients would be explained by the reversion mutations.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: MIRAGE syndrome, a congenital multisystem disorder due to pathogenic SAMD9 variants, describes a constellation of clinical features including 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD), small for gestational age (SGA) and adrenal insufficiency (AI). It is poorly understood whether SAMD9 variants underlie 46,XY DSD patients born SGA (46,XY DSD SGA) without AI. This study aimed to define the frequency and phenotype of SAMD9 variants in 46,XY DSD SGA without AI. METHODS: Forty-nine Japanese patients with 46,XY DSD SGA (Quigley scale, 2 to 6; gestational age-matched birth weight percentile, <10) without history of AI were enrolled. The single coding exon of SAMD9 was PCR-amplified and sequenced for each patient. Pathogenicity of an identified variant was verified in vitro. Placenta tissues were obtained from the variant-carrying patient, as well as from another previously described patient, and were analyzed histologically. RESULTS: In one 46,XY DSD SGA patient, a novel heterozygous SAMD9 variant, p.Phe1017Val, was identified. Pathogenicity of the mutant was experimentally confirmed. In addition to DSD and SGA, the patient had neonatal thrombocytopenia, severe postnatal grow restriction, chronic diarrhea and susceptibility to infection, all features consistent with MIRAGE, leading to premature death at age 14 months. The patient did not have any manifestations or laboratory findings suggesting AI. Placenta tissues of the two variant-carrying patients were characterized by maldevelopment of distal villi without other findings of maternal underperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: MIRAGE syndrome is a rare cause of 46,XY DSD SGA without AI. This study exemplifies that AI is a common feature of MIRAGE syndrome but that the absence of AI should not rule out a diagnosis of the syndrome.

　View Summary

Genetic defects of the TSH receptor (TSHR) signaling pathway cause a form of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) known as TSH resistance. Consistent with the physiological understanding that thyroidal iodine uptake is up-regulated by TSHR signaling, most patients with TSH resistance have low to normal thyroidal 123I uptake representing the classic TSH resistance. However, paradoxically high 123I uptake was reported in four molecularly-confirmed patients indicating nonclassic TSH resistance. Here, we report the fifth patient with the nonclassic phenotype. He was a 12-yr-old CH patient and treated with levothyroxine. At the age 11 yr, he showed slightly small thyroid gland and elevated thyroidal 123I uptake. Genetic analysis showed that he was compound heterozygous for two known missense mutations (Arg109Gln and Arg450His) in the TSHR gene. Further, the signal transduction of Arg109Gln-TSHR was defective in both Gs- and Gq-coupled pathways, while Arg450His-TSHR showed Gq-dominant defect. 123I uptake was evaluated earlier in 16 patients with TSH resistance, and a correlation between TSH levels and 123I uptake was shown in patients with specific genotypes (Arg450His or Leu653Val). Collectively, we have re-confirmed that the emergence of the nonclassic phenotype requires two factors: mutant TSHR with Gq-dominant coupling defect and relatively high levels of serum TSH.
