Pathogenic missense variants affecting p.Gly392 have variable functional implications and result in diverse clinical phenotypes.

-associated syndrome (SAS) is caused by pathogenic variants in , which encodes an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor. Despite the broad range of phenotypic manifestations and variable severity related to this syndrome, haploinsufficiency has been assumed to be the primary molecular explanation.In this study, we describe eight individuals with variants that affect p.

Growth in individuals with SATB2-associated syndrome.

SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder caused by alterations in the SATB2 gene. In addition to a predominant neurodevelopmental phenotype, individuals with SAS often present with feeding difficulties and growth retardation that persist past infancy. In this study, we present growth and measurement data from 211 individuals (53.

coding variants in the gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with intellectual disability.

Background: High-impact pathogenic variants in more than a thousand genes are involved in Mendelian forms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).

Methods: This study describes the molecular and clinical characterisation of 28 probands with NDD harbouring heterozygous coding variants, occurring de novo for all those whose transmission could have been verified (26/28).

Results: A total of 15 unique variants leading to amino acid changes or deletions were identified: 12 missense variants, two in-frame deletions of one codon, and one canonical splice variant leading to a deletion of two amino acid residues.

Case Report: -Associated Syndrome Overlapping With Clinical Mitochondrial Disease Presentation: Report of Two Cases.

-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant neurogenetic multisystemic disorder. We describe two individuals with global developmental delay and hypotonia who underwent an extensive evaluation to rule out an underlying mitochondrial disorder before their eventual diagnosis of SAS. Although the strict application of the clinical mitochondrial disease score only led to the designation of "possible" mitochondrial disorder for these two individuals, other documented abnormalities included nonspecific neuroimaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, decreased complex I activity on muscle biopsy for patient 2, and variation in the size and relative proportion of types of muscle fibers in the muscle biopsies that were aligned with mitochondrial diseases.

SATB2-associated syndrome in adolescents and adults.

The goal of this study was to investigate the medical, communication, activities of daily living (ADLs), and mental health concerns affecting adolescents and adults with SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS). A comprehensive questionnaire was administered to the caregivers of 49 individuals 12 years or older with SAS (mean age was 19.4 years, range 12-37 years).

Growth, development, and phenotypic spectrum of individuals with deletions of 2q33.1 involving SATB2.

SATB2-Associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant, multisystemic, neurodevelopmental disorder due to alterations in SATB2 at 2q33.1. A limited number of individuals with 2q33.

JARID2 haploinsufficiency is associated with a clinically distinct neurodevelopmental syndrome.

Purpose: JARID2, located on chromosome 6p22.3, is a regulator of histone methyltransferase complexes that is expressed in human neurons. So far, 13 individuals sharing clinical features including intellectual disability (ID) were reported with de novo heterozygous deletions in 6p22-p24 encompassing the full length JARID2 gene (OMIM 601594).

Epilepsy and Electroencephalographic Abnormalities in SATB2-Associated Syndrome.

Background: Seizures are an under-reported feature of the SATB2-associated syndrome phenotype. We describe the electroencephalographic findings and seizure semiology and treatment in a population of individuals with SATB2-associated syndrome.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 101 individuals with SATB2-associated syndrome who were reported to have had a previous electroencephalographic study to identify those who had at least one reported abnormal result.

Mutation update for the SATB2 gene.

SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by alterations in the SATB2 gene. Here we present a review of published pathogenic variants in the SATB2 gene to date and report 38 novel alterations found in 57 additional previously unreported individuals. Overall, we present a compilation of 120 unique variants identified in 155 unrelated families ranging from single nucleotide coding variants to genomic rearrangements distributed throughout the entire coding region of SATB2.

Phenotypic modifications of patients with full chromosome aneuploidies and concurrent suspected or confirmed second diagnoses.

The coexistence of two or more distinct genetic conditions is known to be a rare phenomenon. Full chromosome aneuploidies can be associated with a broad variety of cytogenetic abnormalities or single gene disorders resulting in phenotypic modifications that confuse the diagnostic process. We present six patients with primary aneuploidies and a suspected or confirmed secondary genetic diagnosis or unusual birth defect.

A newborn with complex skeletal abnormalities, joint contractures, and bilateral corneal clouding with sclerocornea.

A newborn presented to genetics with complex skeletal abnormalities, joint contractures, and bilateral corneal clouding with sclerocornea. The patient survived for 8 months before succumbing to respiratory failure. Exome sequencing revealed a compound heterozygous mutation in theB3GALT6gene.

Description of the first case of adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in an infant.

We report here the case of the youngest patient with adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in a female infant diagnosed at 4 months of age. This diagnosis was made based on characteristic ultrasonography findings in a patient that was undergoing routine surveillance for a suspected clinical diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. The patient remains asymptomatic and currently no surgical interventions have been needed.
