Anderson-Fabry (or Fabry) disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by a functional deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The partial or total defect of this lysosomal enzyme, which is caused by variants in the gene, leads to the accumulation of glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide in the lysosomes of different cell types. The clinical presentation of Fabry disease is multisystemic and can vary depending on the specific genetic variants associated with the disease.

Background: An estimated 10-15% of all genetic diseases are attributable to variants in noncanonical splice sites, auxiliary splice sites and deep-intronic variants. Most of these unstudied variants are classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), which are not clinically actionable. This study investigated two novel splice-altering variants, NM_000390.

The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the analysis of genetic data, enabling rapid identification of pathogenic variants in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Sometimes, the use of NGS-based technologies is associated with challenges in the evaluation of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants. In silico prediction tools, such as SpliceAI neural network, are often used as a first-tier approach for the primary examination of genetic variants of uncertain clinical significance.

Objective: To analyze gene mutation found in a pedigree with clinical features and inheritable pattern consistent with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in China, and to study the relationship between its genotype and phenotype.
Methods: Clinical and radiological features were recorded for the affected individuals. Peripheral venous blood samples of the patient and family members were collected for further study, and the genomic DNA was extracted to identify the pathogenic gene.

In this study, patients with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) who visited Ningxia Eye Hospital from January 2015 to September 2023 were analyzed. Through Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and Sanger verification, 17 probands carrying homozygous variants were detected. The association between the genotype and clinical phenotype of patients with homozygous variants was analyzed.
