Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a patient with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and pathogenic NF1 gene variant c.1466 A>G BCRTi011-A as well as a first-degree healthy relative (BCRTi010-A).

We describe the generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using a non-integrative episomal reprogramming strategy. The first cell line was derived from a NF1 patient with the genetic variant c.1466A>G (BCRTi011-A) which leads to a cryptic splice site and aberrant splicing.

Putative founder effect of Arg338* AP4M1 (SPG50) variant causing severe intellectual disability, epilepsy and spastic paraplegia: Report of three families.

Bi-allelic variants affecting one of the four genes encoding the AP4 subunits are responsible for the "AP4 deficiency syndrome." Core features include hypotonia that progresses to hypertonia and spastic paraplegia, intellectual disability, postnatal microcephaly, epilepsy, and neuroimaging features. Namely, AP4M1 (SPG50) is involved in autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 50 (MIM#612936).

A single center experience in 90 cases with nonimmune hydrops fetalis: diagnostic categories ‒ mostly aneuploidy and still often idiopathic.

Objectives: The prognosis of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is still poor with a high mortality and morbidity rate despite progress in perinatal care. This study was designed to investigate etiology and outcome of NIHF.

Methods: A retrospective review of 90 NIHF cases from 2007 to 2019 was conducted at University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany.

Rapid detection by hydrops panel of Noonan syndrome with PTPN11 mutation (p.Thr73Ile) and persistent thrombocytopenia.

Background: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is still a challenging diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is extensive and the success of identifying a cause depends on the thoroughness of efforts to establish a diagnosis. For the early diagnosis of NIHF, a virtual gene panel diagnostic tool was developed.
