Unlike other congenital fatty acid oxidation defects, short-chain L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (SCHAD, HADH) deficiency is characterised by hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinism in the neonatal or infancy periods. The long-term and detailed clinical progression of the disease is largely unknown with almost 40 patients reported and only a few patients described clinically. We present clinical and laboratory findings together with the long-term clinical course of a case with a deep intronic HADH splicing mutation (c.636+471G>T) causing neonatal-onset hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with mild progression.

Trifunctional protein deficiency (TFP) is a disorder of fatty acid beta-oxidation associated with metabolic, cardiac, and liver dysfunction in severe forms. We present two siblings diagnosed by newborn screening and confirmed by biochemical testing at birth. Their clinical course was complicated by recurrent rhabdomyolysis, retinopathy, and hypoparathyroidism.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disease, hallmarked by bone fragility, multiple fractures, and deformities, and is commonly caused by pathogenic variants in the genes encoding type I collagen. Type II OI is the most severe form and is lethal in the perinatal period. Here, we report recurrence of perinatal lethal OI in two fetuses due to parental mosaicism for a deep intronic pathogenic variant at c.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), the most common form of hereditary rickets, is characterized by renal phosphate wasting and abnormal vitamin D metabolism due to elevated circulating levels of the phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Dominant inactivating variants of the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (), gene are present in patients with XLH, and more than half of affected patients carry de novo variants. We report on 3 families in whom affected members had highly unusual pathogenic variants.

Background: Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders affecting millions worldwide. Despite the widespread adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels, there remains a critical gap in the genetically diverse and understudied African populations.
Methods: One hundred and thirty-five South African patients affected by various IRDs underwent NGS using a custom-targeted panel sequencing over 100 known genes.
