Auditory Phenotype of a Novel Missense Variant in the CEACAM16 Gene in a Large Russian Family With Autosomal Dominant Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss.

Autosomal dominant hearing loss is represented by a large number of genetically determined forms. Over 50 genes associated with dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairments were described. Pathogenic variants in the CEACAM16 gene lead to the development of DFNA4B hearing loss.

[Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy produced by the ATP1A2 mutation].

A case of DEE98, a rare developmental and epileptic encephalopathy related to previously reported the missense mutation p.Arg908Gln in the gene, is described. A girl examined first time in 11 months had microcephaly, severe mental and motor delay, strabismus, spastic paraparesis and pachypolymicrogyria on brain MRI that is atypical for DEE98.

The first case of a point pathogenic variant in the RREB1 gene in Noonan-like Rasopathy.

The RREB1 is a zinc finger transcription factor that plays a role in regulating gene expression and inactivating MAPK signalling components. To date, no pathogenic variant in the RREB1 gene has been associated with any disease, but several cases of 6p terminal deletions affecting the RREB1 gene have been reported. In this study, we report the first case of RREB1-associated Noonan-like RASopathy caused by a pathogenic variant within this gene.

The molecular complexity of COL2A1 splicing variants and their significance in phenotype severity.

Pathogenic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) found in the COL2A1 gene are associated with a broad range of skeletal dysplasias due to their impact on the structure and function of the Col2a1 protein. However, the molecular mechanisms of some nucleotide variants detected during diagnostic testing remain unclear. The interpretation of missense and splicing variants caused by SNVs poses a significant challenge for clinicians.

Gene Splice Variant Linked to Seizures and Neurodevelopmental Delay: A Second Case Study.

In this study, we report a novel splice variant in the gene identified in a patient presenting with seizures and neurodevelopmental delay. This paper represents the second investigation of pathogenic variants in the gene in humans, reaffirming the conclusions of the initial study and underscoring the importance of this research. Comprehensive genetic testing, including whole genome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, and mRNA analysis, was performed on the proband and her parents.
