- Abstract
NEXMIF pathogenic variants have been known to produce a wide spectrum of X‐linked intellectual disability (ID) in both males and females. Thus far, few individuals from diverse populations have been described with NEXMIF‐related disorders. Herein, we report three individuals with NEXMIF pathogenic variants, the first two are the only males of Korean and Vietnamese descent described with this disorder to our knowledge. The last patient is a Hispanic female who harbors the same pathogenic variant as a previously described Caucasian individual, but with differing clinical presentation. These patients present with many classic symptoms of NEXMIF‐related disorders including ID, epilepsy, developmental delay, and dysmorphic features. In addition, they have symptoms that have not been thoroughly described in the literature, including allergies with multiple anaphylactic events and hypothyroidism. This report is intended to raise awareness and educate about the clinical signs that may prompt testing for NEXMIF‐related disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of the semi-synthetic triterpenoid omaveloxolone in patients with mitochondrial myopathy. METHODS: In cohorts of 8-13, 53 participants were randomized double-blind to 12 weeks of treatment with omaveloxolone 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, or 160 mg, or placebo. Outcome measures were change in peak cycling exercise workload (primary), in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance (secondary), and in submaximal exercise heart rate and plasma lactate (exploratory). RESULTS: No differences in peak workload or 6MWT were observed at week 12 with omaveloxolone treatment vs placebo for all omaveloxolone dose groups. In contrast, omaveloxolone 160 mg reduced heart rate at week 12 by 12.0 ± 4.6 bpm (SE) during submaximal exercise vs placebo, p = 0.01, and by 8.7 ± 3.5 bpm (SE) vs baseline, p = 0.02. Similarly, blood lactate was 1.4 ± 0.7 mM (SE) lower vs placebo, p = 0.04, and 1.6 ± 0.5 mM (SE) lower vs baseline at week 12, p = 0.003, with omaveloxolone 160 mg treatment. Adverse events were generally mild and infrequent. CONCLUSIONS: Omaveloxolone 160 mg was well-tolerated, and did not lead to change in the primary outcome measure, but improved exploratory endpoints lowering heart rate and lactate production during submaximal exercise, consistent with improved mitochondrial function and submaximal exercise tolerance. Therefore, omaveloxolone potentially benefits patients with mitochondrial myopathy, which encourages further investigations of omaveloxolone in this patient group. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER: NCT02255422. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that, for patients with mitochondrial myopathy, omaveloxolone compared to placebo did not significantly change peak exercise workload.

- Abstract
Spectrins are common components of cytoskeletons, binding to cytoskeletal elements and the plasma membrane, allowing proper localization of essential membrane proteins, signal transduction, and cellular scaffolding. Spectrins are assembled from α and β subunits, encoded by SPTA1 and SPTAN1 (α) and SPTB, SPTBN1, SPTBN2, SPTBN4, and SPTBN5 (β). Pathogenic variants in various spectrin genes are associated with erythroid cell disorders (SPTA1, SPTB) and neurologic disorders (SPTAN1, SPTBN2, and SPTBN4), but no phenotypes have been definitively associated with variants in SPTBN1 or SPTBN5. Through exome sequencing and case matching, we identified seven unrelated individuals with heterozygous SPTBN1 variants: two with de novo missense variants and five with predicted loss‐of‐function variants (found to be de novo in two, while one was inherited from a mother with a history of learning disabilities). Common features include global developmental delays, intellectual disability, and behavioral disturbances. Autistic features (4/6) and epilepsy (2/7) or abnormal electroencephalogram without overt seizures (1/7) were present in a subset. Identification of loss‐of‐function variants suggests a haploinsufficiency mechanism, but additional functional studies are required to fully elucidate disease pathogenesis. Our findings support the essential roles of SPTBN1 in human neurodevelopment and expand the knowledge of human spectrinopathy disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Biallelic variants in RARS1, encoding the cytoplasmic tRNA synthetase for arginine (ArgRS), cause a hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. This study aimed to investigate clinical, neuroradiological and genetic features of patients with RARS1‐related disease, and to identify possible genotype‐phenotype relationships. Methods: We performed a multinational cross‐sectional survey among 20 patients with biallelic RARS1 variants identified by next‐generation sequencing techniques. Clinical data, brain MRI findings and genetic results were analyzed. Additionally, ArgRS activity was measured in fibroblasts of four patients, and translation of long and short ArgRS isoforms was quantified by western blot. Results: Clinical presentation ranged from severe (onset in the first 3 months, usually with refractory epilepsy and early brain atrophy), to intermediate (onset in the first year with nystagmus and spasticity), and mild (onset around or after 12 months with minimal cognitive impairment and preserved independent walking). The most frequent RARS1 variant, c.5A>G, led to mild or intermediate phenotypes, whereas truncating variants and variants affecting amino acids close to the ArgRS active centre led to severe phenotypes. ArgRS activity was significantly reduced in three patients with intermediate and severe phenotypes; in a fourth patient with intermediate to severe presentation, we measured normal ArgRS activity, but found translation mainly of the short instead of the long ArgRS isoform. Interpretation: Variants in RARS1 impair ArgRS activity and do not only lead to a classic hypomyelination presentation with nystagmus and spasticity, but to a wide spectrum, ranging from severe, early‐onset epileptic encephalopathy with brain atrophy to mild disease with relatively preserved myelination.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to describe a novel case of idiopathic central nervous system inflammatory disease with bilateral human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-positive anterior uveitis. Methods/Results: A 15-year-old African American boy with bilateral HLA-B27-positive anterior uveitis controlled with topical and oral steroids for 8 months acutely developed headaches, left eyelid ptosis, and binocular diplopia. Imaging showed lesions in the right midbrain, superior colliculus, cerebellar peduncles, and cerebellar vermis and leptomeningeal enhancement along the vermian foliae. Cerebral spinal fluid tests showed mild lymphohistiocytic pleocytosis with negative cytology; inflammatory and infectious workup were negative. He received intravenous methylprednisolone without initial symptomatic improvement; repeat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed reduced lesion burden. Oral steroids were continued; his symptoms resolved in 1 month. Repeat MRI 2 months after presentation showed almost complete lesion resolution. Conclusions: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) was diagnosed. HLA-B27 positivity may represent a novel association with CLIPPERS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal skin pigmentation and tumor formation in multiple organ systems. TSC affects 1 in 7000 individuals worldwide. Common symptoms of TSC include: learning disabilities, mental retardation, seizures, skin lesions, kidney tumors, lung disease, heart tumors, and brain tumors. Facial angiofibromas are benign skin tumors found on the faces of patients with TSC. The angiofibromatous lesions appear as red or pink papules distributed over the central face, most notably on the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and chin. Lesions appear in early childhood and are present in up to 80% of TSC patients. These facial lesions create considerable cosmetic morbidity for patients with TSC. Since the initial descriptions of facial angiofibromas in the 19th Century, multiple treatments have been developed attempting to alleviate the appearance of these lesions. Treatments have included curettage, cryosurgery, chemical peels, dermabrasian, shave excisions, and laser therapy. Although the majority of these treatments are initially effective, they are uncomfortable and over time the lesions recur. Currently there is no effective method for preventing or permanently removing facial angiofibromas in patients with TSC. This study is designed to see if an investigational product nightly to their lesions for six months. The goal of this study is to develop a form of rapamycin that will provide a safe, effective treatment for facial angiofibromas in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex., The original document contains color images.

- Abstract
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder resulting from mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. TSC is characterized by abnormal skin pigmentation and tumor formation in multiple organ systems. The TSC1 and TSC2 gene products are involved in cell signaling; in particular they are involved in the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. In TSC, the epidermal basal cells contain a mutant copy of either the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. A loss of heterozygosity results in constitutive activation of mTOR leading to production of epidermal cells at a faster rate than the ability to slough the dead cells. This overproduction of skin cells, in conjunction with angiogenesis, results in the formation of visible facial angiofibromas over time. The lesions appear as red or pink papules distributed over the central face, especially on the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and chin. Lesions appear in early childhood and are present in up to 80% of TSC patients. Facial angiofibromas create considerable cosmetic morbidity for patients with TSC and currently there is no effective method for preventing or permanently removing them. Rapamycin is a naturally occurring antifungal macrolide that binds with high specificity to mTOR resulting in inhibition of mTOR activity and ultimately in downregulation of cell growth. Systemically administered rapamycin has an unfavorable side effect profile, limiting its potential use. Commonly reported side effects include oral ulcers, hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia, acneiform rash, immunosuppression, and impaired wound healing. Rapamycin has a molecular weight of 914.2 grams, allowing for its absorption through the superficial layers of the epidermis.

- Abstract
Defects in organelle dynamics underlie a number of human degenerative disorders, and whole exome sequencing (WES) is a powerful tool for studying genetic changes that affect the cellular machinery. WES may uncover variants of unknown significance (VUS) that require functional validation. Previously, a pathogenic de novo variant in the middle domain of DNM1L (p.A395D) was identified in a single patient with a lethal defect of mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. We identified two additional patients with infantile encephalopathy and partially overlapping clinical features, each with a novel VUS in the middle domain of DNM1L (p.G350R and p.E379K). To evaluate pathogenicity, we generated transgenic Drosophila expressing wild-type or variant DNM1L. We find that human wild-type DNM1L rescues the lethality as well as specific phenotypes associated with the loss of Drp1 in Drosophila. Neither the p.A395D variant nor the novel variant p.G350R rescue lethality or other phenotypes. Moreover, overexpression of p.A395D and p.G350R in Drosophila neurons, salivary gland and muscle strikingly altered peroxisomal and mitochondrial morphology. In contrast, the other novel variant (p.E379K) rescued lethality and did not affect organelle morphology, although it was associated with a subtle mitochondrial trafficking defect in an in vivo assay. Interestingly, the patient with the p.E379K variant also has a de novo VUS in pyruvate dehydrogenase 1 (PDHA1) affecting the same amino acid (G150) as another case of PDHA1 deficiency suggesting the PDHA1 variant may be pathogenic. In summary, detailed clinical evaluation and WES with functional studies in Drosophila can distinguish different functional consequences of newly-described DNM1L alleles., (© The Author 2016.
