Response of an Infant With Presumed Multiple Acyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD) to Ketone Supplementation

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple Acyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in one of three known genes: ETFA, ETFB, and ETFDH. It can cause multisystem dysfunction, including cardiomyopathy in severe cases.

De Novo 2.2 Mb 19q13.42–q13.43 Microdeletion Encompassing U2AF2: Support for a Haploinsufficiency Model

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2 (U2AF2) is an essential pre‐mRNA splicing factor involved in the early stages of pre‐mRNA splicing. To date, multiple individuals have been reported with predominantly heterozygous missense variants presenting intellectual disability, speech and motor delays, seizures, hypotonia, and thin or hypoplastic ...

Early Findings in Neonatal Cases of RYR1–Related Congenital Myopathies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Ryanodine receptor type 1-related congenital myopathies are the most represented subgroup among congenital myopathies (CMs), typically presenting a central core or multiminicore muscle histopathology and high clinical heterogeneity. We evaluated a cohort

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...
