Background: The chromosome 22q11.2 region microduplication has been described in patients with variable phenotypes. Here we present a 3-month-old girl with both 22q11.2 microduplication and 19p13.12-13.13 deletion. The presence of both genomic imbalances in one patient has not been previously reported in literature.

Methods: A routine G-banding karyotype analysis was performed using peripheral lymphocytes. Chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) was done using Affymetrix CytoScan™ HD array.

Results: The result of karyotyping showed that the patient is 46,XX,t(12;19)(q24.3;p13.1), but CMA detected a 2.8Mb microduplication within the region 22q11.2 (chr22: 18,648,866-21,465,659) and a 1.2Mb deletion on the chromosome 19at band p13.12-p13.13 (chr19: 13,107,938-14,337,347) in her genome, while no abnormalities were identified on 12q24.3. The 3-month-old girl presented with microcephaly, cleft palate, low set and retroverted ears, and facial dysmorphism which consisted of the following: a long narrow face, widely spaced eyes, downslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal base, short philtrum, thin upper lip, and micro/retrognathia. She also had a congenital right pulmonary artery sling and tracheal stenosis and suffered from significant hypotonia and partial bilateral mixed hearing loss.

Conclusions: We report a case of 22q11.2 duplication syndrome with 19p13.12-13.13 deletion. Synergistic effect from the two genomic imbalances is likely responsible for the complicated clinical features observed in this patient.

Background And Objectives: Breast cancers (BCs) of patients with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes and anti-Yo antibodies (Yo-PNS) overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and display genetic alterations and overexpression of the Yo-onconeural antigens. They are infiltrated by an unusual proportion of B cells. We investigated whether these features were also observed in patients with PNS and anti-Ri antibodies (Ri-PNS).

Hereditary angioedema is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by defects in C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), resulting in poorly controlled activation of the kallikrein-kinin system and bradykinin overproduction. C1-INH is a heavily glycosylated protein in the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) family, yet the role of these glycosylation sites remains unclear. To elucidate the functional impact of N-glycosylation in the SERPIN domain of C1-INH, we engineered four sets consisting of 26 variants at or near the N-linked sequon (NXS/T).

LEDGF/p75 promotes transcriptional pausing through preventing SPT5 phosphorylation.

SPT5 exhibits versatile functions in RNA Pol II promoter proximal pausing, pause release, and elongation in metazoans. However, the mechanism underlying the functional switch of SPT5 during early elongation has not been fully understood. Here, we report that the phosphorylation site-rich domain (PRD)/CTR1 and the prion-like domain (PLD)/CTR2, which are situated adjacent to each other within the C-terminal repeat (CTR) in SPT5, play pivotal roles in Pol II pausing and elongation, respectively.

Nutrient deprivation is a major trigger of autophagy, a conserved quality control and recycling process essential for cellular and tissue homeostasis. In a high-content image-based screen of the human ubiquitome, we here identify the E3 ligase Pellino 3 (PELI3) as a crucial regulator of starvation-induced autophagy. Mechanistically, PELI3 localizes to autophagic membranes, where it interacts with the ATG8 proteins through an LC3-interacting region (LIR).

Control of striatal circuit development by the chromatin regulator .

Sci Adv

January 2025

Department of Neuroscience, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.

The pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders involves vulnerable neural populations, including striatal circuitry, and convergent molecular nodes, including chromatin regulation and synapse function. Despite this, how epigenetic regulation regulates striatal development is understudied. Recurrent de novo mutations in are associated with intellectual disability and autism.
