Diffuse interstitial lung disease in a male fetus with periventricular nodular heterotopia and filamin A mosaic variant.

Background: Most periventricular nodular heterotopias (PNHs) are associated with a mutation in the filamin A (FLNA) gene in Xq28. This condition is associated with cardiovascular malformations, connective tissue abnormalities, epilepsy, and intellectual deficiency of varying severity.

Materials And Methods: We report a new FLNA gene mutation in a male patient associated with PNH and diffuse interstitial lung disease.

Novel partial loss-of-function variants in the tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (YARS1) gene involved in multisystem disease.

Cytoplasmic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are emerging as a cause of numerous rare inherited diseases. Recently, biallelic variants in tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (YARS1) have been described in ten patients of three families with multi-systemic disease (failure to thrive, developmental delay, liver dysfunction, and lung cysts). Here, we report an additional subject with overlapping clinical findings, heterozygous for two novel variants in tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (NM_003680.
