7. Neuropsychiatric Functioning in CdLS: A Detailed Phenotype and Genotype Correlation

Author

Ajmone, Paola Francesca, Allegri, Beatrice, Cereda, Anna, Michelini, Giovanni, Dall'Ara, Francesca, Mariani, Milena, Rigamonti, Claudia, Selicorni, Angelo, Vizziello, Paola, and Costantino, Maria Antonella

Abstract

Behavioural phenotype and autism-related traits of 38 patients affected by Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) were assessed using a specific neuropsychiatric protocol. Subsequently, we search for possible genotype-phenotype correlations comparing individuals with NIPBL variants and patients with negative molecular results. Firstly results showed a higher percentage of subjects with normal intellectual quotient (IQ) and borderline IQ; adaptive skills were lower than expected for age in all participants. 39.5% of the sample presented with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), NIPBL mutated individuals demonstrated a worse trend in comparison with the clinical diagnosis group. non-truncating individuals displayed no ASD and better communication abilities than truncating individuals. Findings increase our awareness of the strengths and weaknesses points in CdLS individuals.

11. The Perceptions of Health Workers in the Relationship with Foreign Users in a Paediatric Health Service: The Role of the Linguistic and Cultural Mediator

Author

Biga, Ilaria and Selicorni, Angelo

Abstract

The main aim of this report is to describe the healthcare staff's perceptions and difficulties encountered in the relationship with foreign children and their families, collecting their personal judgment on their intercultural skills, on the necessity of training courses and their opinion related to the possible aid given by a linguistic and cultural mediator (LCM). We have carried out a survey in the paediatric health services of the Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale (ASST) Lariana located in Como, through the provision of a questionnaire addressed to the healthcare staff. The questions presented in the survey relate to the relationship between the healthcare staff and the foreign patients, highlighting issues connected to linguistic and cultural factors in the use of the health services. The health professionals state that assistance to the minor and the foreign family is more complex (41.27%), more stressful (36.5%), more time-consuming (44.4%) but also more motivating (65.07%) than the assistance to native users. Referring to the figure of the LCM, 47 (74.6%) health workers believed it would be useful to integrate the role into the operational units. Through the analysis of data, the results obtained provide a picture of the challenges encountered between foreign citizens and medical staff, who admit a lack of intercultural skills. It is desirable to introduce the figure of a linguistic and cultural mediator, who could help both in terms of better management of the diagnostic and assistance path and in terms of staff satisfaction.

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the impact of Coronavirus Disease‐19 (COVID‐19) pandemic on the incidence and clinical presentation of celiac disease (CD) in children. Methods: The diagnoses of CD were compared between the COVID‐19 pandemic (from April 2020 to March 2022) and the pre‐pandemic period (from April 2018 to March 2020) in three Italian Paediatric Gastroenterology centres (Varese, Como, Catanzaro). Electronic patient records were reviewed and additional information were collected through parental interview. The diagnosis of CD was made according to ESPGHAN criteria. SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was diagnosed based on pre‐vaccination positive serum antibodies or nasopharyngeal swabs. Z test and chi‐square were used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall number of paediatric diagnosis of CD did not differ between the two years pre‐pandemic and pandemic periods (177 and 172 cases) in the three Italian participating centres. Clinical presentation of CD was also similar throughout the study periods. SARS‐CoV‐2 infection has been documented in 10.6% of children but only in 5.8% of these occurred before CD diagnosis. Conclusion: Different to what reported for other autoimmune diseases, the incidence and presenting symptoms of CD in our paediatric population did not change during the COVID‐19 pandemic compared to the previous 2 years.

Abstract

SMC1A epilepsy syndrome or developmental and epileptic encephalopathy‐85 with or without midline brain defects (DEE85, OMIM #301044) is an X‐linked neurologic disorder associated with mutations of the SMC1A gene, which is also responsible for about 5% of patients affected by Cornelia de Lange syndrome spectrum (CdLS). Only described in female patients, SMC1A epilepsy syndrome is characterized by the onset of severe refractory epileptic seizures in the first year of life, global developmental delay, a variable degree of intellectual disability, and dysmorphic facial features not typical of CdLS. This was a descriptive observational study for the largest international cohort with this specific disorder. The main goal of this study was to improve the knowledge of the natural history of this phenotype with particular attention to the psychomotor development and the epilepsy data. The analyzed cohort shows normal prenatal growth with the subsequent development of postnatal microcephaly. The incidence of neonatal problems (seizures and respiratory compromise) is considerable (51.4%). There is a significant prevalence of central nervous system (20%) and cardiovascular malformations (20%). Motor skills are generally delayed. The presence of drug‐resistant epilepsy is confirmed; the therapeutic role of a ketogenic diet is still uncertain. The significant regression of previously acquired skills following the onset of seizures has been observed. Facial dysmorphisms are variable and no patient shows a classic CdLS phenotype. To sum up, SMC1A variants caused drug‐resistant epilepsy in these patients, more than two‐thirds of whom were shown to progress to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The SMC1A gene variants are all different from each other (apart from a couple of monozygotic twins), demonstrating the absence of a mutational hotspot in the SMC1A gene. Owing to the absence of phenotypic specificity, whole‐exome sequencing is currently the diagnostic gold standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Collection of real-world evidence (RWE) is important in achondroplasia. Development of a prospective, shared, international resource that follows the principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse of digital assets, and that captures long-term, high-quality data, would improve understanding of the natural history of achondroplasia, quality of life, and related outcomes. Methods: The Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) Achondroplasia Steering Committee comprises a multidisciplinary team of 17 clinical experts and 3 advocacy organization representatives. The committee undertook an exercise to identify essential data elements for a standardized prospective registry to study the natural history of achondroplasia and related outcomes. Results: A range of RWE on achondroplasia is being collected at EMEA centres. Whereas commonalities exist, the data elements, methods used to collect and store them, and frequency of collection vary. The topics considered most important for collection were auxological measures, sleep studies, quality of life, and neurological manifestations. Data considered essential for a prospective registry were grouped into six categories: demographics; diagnosis and patient measurements; medical issues; investigations and surgical events; medications; and outcomes possibly associated with achondroplasia treatments. Conclusions: Long-term, high-quality data are needed for this rare, multifaceted condition. Establishing registries that collect predefined data elements across age spans will provide contemporaneous prospective and longitudinal information and will be useful to improve clinical decision-making and management. It should be feasible to collect a minimum dataset with the flexibility to include country-specific criteria and pool data across countries to examine clinical outcomes associated with achondroplasia and different therapeutic approaches.

Abstract

Post‐zygotic mosaicism is a well‐known biological phenomenon characterized by the presence of genetically distinct lineages of cells in the same individual due to post‐zygotic de novo mutational events. It has been identified in about 13% of Cornelia de Lange (CdLS) syndrome patients with a molecular diagnosis, an unusual high frequency. Here, we report the case of a patient affected by classic CdLS harboring post‐zygotic mosaicism for two different likely pathogenic variants at the same nucleotide position in NIPBL. Double somatic mosaicism has never been reported in CdLS and only rarely recognized in human diseases. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit recurrent facial features that can suggest the genetic diagnosis at a glance, but recognizing subtle dysmorphisms is a specialized skill that requires very long training. Face2Gene (FDNA Inc) is an innovative computer‐aided phenotyping tool that analyses patient's portraits and suggests 30 candidate syndromes with similar morphology in a prioritized list. We hypothesized that the software could support even expert physicians in the diagnostic workup of genetic conditions. In this study, we assessed the performance of Face2Gene in an Italian dysmorphological pediatrics clinic. We uploaded two‐dimensional face pictures of 145 children affected by genetic conditions with typical phenotypic traits. All diagnoses were previously confirmed by cytogenetic or molecular tests. Overall, the software's differential included the correct syndrome in most cases (98%). We evaluated the efficiency of the algorithm even considering the rareness of the genetic conditions. All "common" diagnoses were correctly identified, most of them with high diagnostic accuracy (93% in top‐3 matches). Finally, the performance for the most common pediatric syndromes was calculated. Face2Gene performed well even for ultra‐rare genetic conditions (75% within top‐3 matches and 83% within top‐10 matches). Expert geneticists maybe do not need computer support to recognize common syndromes, but our results prove that the tool can be useful not only for general pediatricians but also in dysmorphological clinics for ultra‐rare genetic conditions.

Here we describe three patients with neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, mildly dysmorphic features, and hirsutism, all of which carry de novo sequence variants in the WW domain-containing adaptor of the coiled-coil (WAC) gene; two of these-c.167delA, p.(Asn56I1efs*136) and c.1746G>C, p.(Gln582His)-are novel pathogenic variants, and the third-c.1837C>T, p(Arg613*)-has been previously described. Diseases associated with WAC include DeSanto-Shinawi syndrome; to date, de novo heterozygous constitutional pathogenic WAC variants have caused a syndromic form of intellectual disability and mild dysmorphic features in 33 patients, yet potential associations with other clinical manifestations, such as oligomenorrhea and hyperandrogenism, remain unknown, because the phenotypic spectrum of the condition has not yet been delineated. The patient bearing the novel c.167delA WAC gene variant presented a normal psychomotor development, oligomenorrhea, hyperandrogenism, and hirsutism, and hirsutism was also observed in the patient with the c.1746G>C WAC gene variant. Hypertrichosis and hirsutism have been described in nine DeSanto-Shinawi patients, only in 17 of the 33 aforementioned patients thus far reported this aspect, and no hormonal-pattern data are available. In conclusion, we note that the pathogenic c.167delA WAC variant may be associated with a mild phenotype; and in addition to the neurodevelopmental problems nearly all DeSanto-Shinawi patients experience (i.e., intellectual disability and/or developmental delay), we recommend the addition of mild dysmorphic features, hirsutism, and hypertrichosis to this clinical presentation.

Abstract

The amount of Insulin Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) controls the rate of embryonal and postnatal growth. The IGF2 and adjacent H19 are the imprinted genes of the telomeric cluster in the 11p15 chromosomal region regulated by differentially methylated regions (DMRs) or imprinting centers (ICs): H19/IGF2:IG-DMR (IC1). Dysregulation due to IC1 Loss-of-Methylation (LoM) or Gain-of-Methyaltion (GoM) causes Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) or Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) disorders associated with growth retardation or overgrowth, respectively. Specific features define each of the two syndromes, but isolated asymmetry is a common cardinal feature, which is considered sufficient for a diagnosis in the BWS spectrum. Here, we report the case of a girl with right body asymmetry, which suggested BWS spectrum. Later, BWS/SRS molecular analysis identified IC1_LoM revealing the discrepant diagnosis of SRS. A clinical re-evaluation identified a relative macrocephaly and previously unidentified growth rate at lower limits of normal at birth, feeding difficulties, and asymmetry. Interestingly, and never previously described in IC1_LoMSRS patients, since the age of 16, she has developed hand-writer's cramps, depression, and bipolar disorder. Trio-WES identified a VPS16 heterozygous variant [NM_022575.4:c.2185C>G:p.Leu729Val] inherited from her healthy mother. VPS16 is involved in the endolysosomal system, and its dysregulation is linked to autosomal dominant dystonia with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. IGF2 involvement in the lysosomal pathway led us to speculate that the neurological phenotype of the proband might be triggered by the concurrent IGF2 deficit and VPS16 alteration.

Abstract

Background: The recent guidelines suggest the use of genome‐wide analyses, such as whole exome sequencing (WES), at the beginning of the diagnostic approach for cases with suspected genetic conditions. However, in many realities it still provides for the execution of a multi‐step pathway, thus requiring several genetic tests to end the so‐called 'diagnostic odyssey'. Methods: We reported the results of GENE Project (Genomic analysis Evaluation NEtwork): a multicentre prospective cohort study on 125 paediatric outpatients with a suspected genetic disease in which we performed first‐tier trio‐WES, including exome‐based copy number variation analysis, in parallel to a 'traditional approach' of two/three sequential genetic tests. Results: First‐tier trio‐WES detected a conclusive diagnosis in 41.6% of patients, way above what was found with routine genetic testing (25%), with a time‐to‐result of about 50 days. Notably, the study showed that 44% of WES‐reached diagnoses would be missed with the traditional approach. The diagnostic rate (DR) of the two approaches varied in relation to the phenotypic class of referral and to the proportion of cases with a defined diagnostic suspect, proving the major difference for neurodevelopmental disorders. Moreover, trio‐WES analysis detected variants in candidate genes of unknown significance (EPHA4, DTNA, SYNCRIP, NCOR1, TFDP1, SPRED3, EDA2R, PHF12, PPP1R12A, WDR91, CDC42BPG, CSNK1D, EIF3H, TMEM63B, RIPPLY3) in 19.4% of undiagnosed cases. Conclusion: Our findings represent real‐practice evidence of how first‐tier genome‐wide sequencing tests significantly improve the DR for paediatric outpatients with a suspected underlying genetic aetiology, thereby allowing a time‐saving setting of the correct management, follow‐up and family planning.
