Driving mosaicism: somatic variants in reference population databases and effect on variant interpretation in rare genetic disease

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2021
Background Genetic variation databases provide invaluable information on the presence and frequency of genetic variants in the ‘untargeted’ human population, aggregated with the primary goal to facilitate the interpretation of clinically important ...

Somatic mosaicism in adult‐onset TNF receptor‐associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS)

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Somatic mosaicism is to date an uncommon finding in genetic autoinflammatory syndromes such as Cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndrome, Blau syndrome, and TNF receptor‐associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS).

Mosaic Intronic NIPBL Variant in a Family With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a well described multiple malformation syndrome caused by alterations in genes encoding subunits or regulators of the cohesin complex.

Somatic mutations in neurodegeneration: An update

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2020
Mosaicism, the presence of genomic differences between cells due to post-zygotic somatic mutations, is widespread in the human body, including within the brain.

Reversion Mosaicism in Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Reversion mosaicism has been reported in an increasing number of genetic disorders including primary immunodeficiency diseases. Several mechanisms can mediate somatic reversion of inherited mutations.

Somatic NLRP3 mosaicism in patients with “mutation-negative” CAPS: insights from a single centre UK cohort

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionKnowledge about mosaicism in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) has expanded significantly with the use of next generation sequencing technologies.

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

Somatic mosaicism by a de novo MLH1 mutation as a cause of Lynch syndrome

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is caused by germline mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutations. De novo MMR gene mutations are rare, and somatic mosaicism in LS is thought to be infrequent.

The role of somatic mosaicism in brain disease

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2020
In this review we discuss the importance of genetic somatic mosaicism and its impact on brain diseases. We start from introducing the different types of somatic mutations, their frequencies and abundances across development and lifespan. We then describe how weakness in DNA repair mechanisms influences their prevalence.

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.
