  • A Japanese girl with mild xeroderma pigmentosum group D neurological disease diagnosed using whole-exome sequencing

    Yokoi T., Enomoto Y., Uehara T., Kosaki K., Kurosawa K.

    Human Genome Variation (Human Genome Variation)  7 ( 1 )  2020.12

     View Summary

    © 2020, The Author(s). We report a Japanese girl with mild xeroderma pigmentosum group D neurological disease. She had short stature, cataracts, intellectual disability, and mild skin symptoms. However, she was not clinically diagnosed. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in ERCC2. In the future, the patient may develop skin cancer and her neurological symptoms may progress. Early genetic testing is necessary to clarify the cause of symptoms in undiagnosed patients.

    Human Genome Variation (Human Genome Variation)  7 ( 1 )  2020.12

     View Summary

    © 2020, The Author(s). We report a 7-year-old boy with infantile spasms caused by a novel mutation in the Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) gene. He showed infantile spasms and hypsarrhythmia on electroencephalogram from early infancy. Brain MRI did not reveal severe malformation of the brain except mild hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. Two-fold adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy failed to control the seizures, and ketogenic diet therapy and multi-antiepileptic drug therapy were required as he showed intractable daily tonic-clonic seizures. Exome sequencing identified a hemizygous mutation in the ARX gene, NG_008281.1(ARX_v001):c.1448 + 1 G > A, chrX: 25025227 C > T (GRCh37). To our knowledge, this mutation has not been reported previously.

     View Summary

    © 2020, The Author(s). Biallelic variants in the EYS gene are a major cause of autosomal recessive inherited retinal disease (IRD), with a high prevalence in the Asian population. The purpose of this study was to identify pathogenic EYS variants, to determine the clinical/genetic spectrum of EYS-associated retinal disease (EYS-RD), and to discover disease-associated variants with relatively high allele frequency (1%-10%) in a nationwide Japanese cohort. Sixty-six affected subjects from 61 families with biallelic or multiple pathogenic/disease-associated EYS variants were ascertained by whole-exome sequencing. Three phenotype groups were identified in EYS-RD: retinitis pigmentosa (RP; 85.94%), cone-rod dystrophy (CORD; 10.94%), and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA; 3.12%). Twenty-six pathogenic/disease-associated EYS variants were identified, including seven novel variants. The two most prevalent variants, p.(Gly843Glu) and p.(Thr2465Ser) were found in 26 and twelve families (42.6%, 19.7%), respectively, for which the allele frequency (AF) in the Japanese population was 2.2% and 3.0%, respectively. These results expand the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of EYS-RD, accounting for a high proportion of EYS-RD both in autosomal recessive RP (23.4%) and autosomal recessive CORD (9.9%) in the Japanese population. The presence of EYS variants with relatively high AF highlights the importance of considering the pathogenicity of non-rare variants in relatively prevalent Mendelian disorders.

  • De novo 2q36.3q37.1 deletion encompassing TRIP12 and NPPC yields distinct phenotypes

    Kondo Y., Aoyama K., Suzuki H., Hattori A., Hori I., Ito K., Yoshida A., Koroki M., Ueda K., Kosaki K., Saitoh S.

    Human Genome Variation (Human Genome Variation)  7 ( 1 )  2020.12

     View Summary

    © 2020, The Author(s). We report a patient with developmental delay, extremely short stature, small hands, dysmorphic facial features, hearing loss, and epilepsy carrying a de novo 2.76-Mb deletion of 2q36.3q37.1, including TRIP12 and NPPC. TRIP12 haploinsufficiency causes developmental delay with isolated dysmorphic facial features, whereas NPPC haploinsufficiency causes short stature and small hands. This is the first report of a unique phenotype, which is secondary to a microdeletion encompassing TRIP12 and NPPC.

  • Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of 18 Patients from 13 Japanese Families with CRX-associated retinal disorder: Identification of Genotype-phenotype Association

    Fujinami-Yokokawa Y., Fujinami K., Kuniyoshi K., Hayashi T., Ueno S., Mizota A., Shinoda K., Arno G., Pontikos N., Yang L., Liu X., Sakuramoto H., Katagiri S., Mizobuchi K., Kominami T., Terasaki H., Nakamura N., Kameya S., Yoshitake K., Miyake Y., Kurihara T., Tsubota K., Miyata H., Iwata T., Tsunoda K., Nishimura T., Hayashizaki Y., Kondo M., Shimozawa N., Horiguchi M., Yamamoto S., Kuze M., Naoi N., Machida S., Shimada Y., Nakamura M., Fujikado T., Hotta Y., Takahashi M., Mochizuki K., Murakami A., Kondo H., Ishida S., Nakazawa M., Hatase T., Matsunaga T., Maeda A., Noda K., Tanikawa A., Yamamoto S., Yamamoto H., Araie M., Aihara M., Nakazawa T., Sekiryu T., Kashiwagi K., Kosaki K., Piero C., Fukuchi T., Hayashi A., Hosono K., Mori K., Tanaka K., Furuya K., Suzuki K., Kohata R., Yanagi Y., Minegishi Y., Iejima D., Suga A., Rossmiller B.P., Pan Y., Oshima T., Nakayama M., Teruyama Y., Yamamoto M., Minematsu N., Sanbe H., Mori D., Kijima Y., Mawatari G., Kurata K., Yamada N., Itoh M., Kawaji H., Murakawa Y.

     View Summary

    © 2020, The Author(s). Inherited retinal disorder (IRD) is a leading cause of blindness, and CRX is one of a number of genes reported to harbour autosomal dominant (AD) and recessive (AR) causative variants. Eighteen patients from 13 families with CRX-associated retinal disorder (CRX-RD) were identified from 730 Japanese families with IRD. Ophthalmological examinations and phenotype subgroup classification were performed. The median age of onset/latest examination was 45.0/62.5 years (range, 15–77/25–94). The median visual acuity in the right/left eye was 0.52/0.40 (range, −0.08–2.00/−0.18–1.70) logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) units. There was one family with macular dystrophy, nine with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD), and three with retinitis pigmentosa. In silico analysis of CRX variants was conducted for genotype subgroup classification based on inheritance and the presence of truncating variants. Eight pathogenic CRX variants were identified, including three novel heterozygous variants (p.R43H, p.P145Lfs*42, and p.P197Afs*22). A trend of a genotype-phenotype association was revealed between the phenotype and genotype subgroups. A considerably high proportion of CRX-RD in ADCORD was determined in the Japanese cohort (39.1%), often showing the mild phenotype (CORD) with late-onset disease (sixth decade). Frequently found heterozygous missense variants located within the homeodomain underlie this mild phenotype. This large cohort study delineates the disease spectrum of CRX-RD in the Japanese population.
