Trio-next generation sequencing is useful to identify undiagnosed inherited diseases. We have attended a patient with trigenic // pathogenic variants, which caused two distinct diseases, myelodysplastic syndrome and Usher syndrome. Whole genome sequencing of peripheral blood from the patient and his parents were applied to identify disease-causing genes. Sanger sequencing was performed to validate the identified // variants. Our results identified disease-associated variants in (disease inheritance autosomal recessive) and in (disease inheritance also autosomal recessive) and a variant in (disease inheritance autosomal dominant). Although the variants identified in and have been reported, their co-existence in association with disease-causing variation in a third gene has not. They broaden the spectrum of in Usher syndrome. Findings on next generation sequencing guided rapid and accurate diagnosis, resulting in patient-tailored therapeutic intervention.

This study aimed to improve our understanding of sleep problems as a comorbidity of hereditary deaf-blindness due to Usher syndrome type 2a. Fifteen patients with Usher syndrome type 2a with a conclusive genetic diagnosis and 15 unaffected controls participated in comprehensive sleep and activity assessments for 2 weeks, using the MotionWatch 8 actigraph and consensus sleep diary. Various sleep parameters including sleep opportunity window, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, and self-reported sleep quality were analysed.

Syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive inherited retinal dystrophy, characterized by the degeneration of photoreceptors, presenting as a rod-cone dystrophy. Approximately 20-30% of patients with RP also exhibit extra-ocular manifestations in the context of a syndrome. This manuscript discusses the broad spectrum of syndromes associated with RP, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, differential diagnoses, clinical management approaches, and future perspectives.

The AGBL5 gene encodes for the Cytoplasmic Carboxypeptidase 5 (CCP5), an α-tubulin deglutamylase that cleaves the γ-carboxyl-linked branching point of glutamylated tubulin. To date, pathogenic variants in AGBL5 have been associated only with isolated retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Hearing loss has not been reported in AGBL5-caused retinal disease.

Aim: To extend the findings of a previous clinical trial suggesting combined abacavir (ABC), lamivudine (3TC), and zidovudine (AZT) reduces type I interferon (IFN) signalling in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS).

Method: This was an open label, non-placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial (NCT04731103) in patients less than 16 years with any of five AGS genotypes. The effect of ABC or 3TC individually, or of combined ABC + 3TC + AZT, on IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression (primary outcome) and IFN-alpha protein (secondary outcome) in blood was assessed.

Exploring non-coding regions is increasingly gaining importance in the diagnosis of inherited retinal dystrophies. Deep-intronic variants causing aberrant splicing have been identified, prompting the development of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to modulate splicing. We performed a screening of five previously described deep-intronic variants among monoallelic patients with Usher syndrome (USH) or isolated retinitis pigmentosa.
