Concurrent Germline RB1 & Mosaic TP53 in a Child With Multiple Childhood Cancers

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a patient with a pathogenic germline variant (PGV) in RB1 and somatic mosaicism for a pathogenic TP53 variant who developed three distinct types of childhood cancer: retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before the age of 6 years.

COX14 Variants Are Associated With Mitochondrial Complex IV Deficiency Nuclear Type 10 (MC4DN10)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT COX14 encodes a transmembrane protein essential for cytochrome c oxidase (COX) complex assembly. A homozygous missense variant in COX14 was reported in three siblings from a single consanguineous family with severe, fatal infantile mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 10 (MC4DN10; MIM# 619053).

Heterozygous Variants in LRP1 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder With Congenital Heart Defects

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT LRP1 encodes the low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1), a transmembrane protein involved in endocytosis and activation of multiple signaling pathways. LRP1 variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects (CHD), Alzheimer's disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).

High Diagnosis Rate for Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis With Prenatal Clinical Genome: Expanded Results From the Hydrops‐Yielding Diagnostic Results of Prenatal Sequencing (HYDROPS) Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in ≥ 2 fetal compartments and may be genetic. The incremental diagnostic yield of prenatal exome sequencing (ES) for NIHF following a negative standard workup was previously explored on 22 cases.

A Rare Form of Microcephalic Primordial Dwarfism due to NSMCE2 Deficiency (Seckel Syndrome Type 10): A Report of Macular Involvement

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic variants in NSMCE2 (MMS21), which encodes the SUMO E3 ligase subunit of the SMC5/6 chromatin‐maintenance complex, have recently been implicated in microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD), corresponding to Seckel syndrome type 10 (OMIM #617246).

Delayed Recognition of Maternal G6PD Heterozygous Status Across Prenatal and Newborn Care Interfaces

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common red blood cell enzymatic disorder worldwide. Although many heterozygotes are asymptomatic, affected neonates have an increased risk for hyperbilirubinemia and related complications.

A Novel Constitutional TUBB Variant Associated With Familial Malformations of Cortical Development

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most pathogenic tubulin variants arise de novo in sporadic patients, causing severe brain malformations and significant neurodevelopmental impairment. The resulting reproductive disadvantage typically prevents these mutations from being transmitted to offspring.

L‐Cysteine and N‐Acetylcysteine Supplementation Improves Clinical Outcome in a Patient With COXPD10

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MTO1 is a nuclear gene that encodes a mitochondrial protein essential for modifying mitochondrial transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and stabilizing codon‐anticodon interactions to ensure accurate and efficient mitochondrial protein synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation.

First Report of Uniparental Isodisomy of Chromosome 15 Revealing Angelman Syndrome and Microphthalmia Associated With a Novel Homozygous ALDH1A3 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paternal isodisomy of chromosome 15 (iUPD15) is a recognized cause of Angelman syndrome (AS), accounting for approximately 2%–5% of cases. Additionally, another recognized consequence of iUPD is the unmasking of autosomal recessive disorders. However, reports of recessive disorders resulting from iUPD15 remain scarce in the literature.
