Unlabelled: We present a case report of a child with features of hyperphosphatasia with neurologic deficit (HPMRS) or Mabry syndrome (MIM 239300) with variants of unknown significance in two post-GPI attachments to proteins genes, and , that underlie HPMRS 3 and 4.
Background: In addition to HPMRS 3 and 4, disruption of four phosphatidylinositol glycan (PIG) biosynthesis genes, , , and , result in HPMRS 1, 2, 5 and 6, respectively.
Methods: Targeted exome panel sequencing identified homozygous variants of unknown significance (VUS) in c:284A>G and c:259G>A. To assay the pathogenicity of these variants, we conducted a rescue assay in and deficient CHO cell lines.
Results: Using a strong (pME) promoter, the variant did not rescue activity in CHO cells and the protein was not detected. Flow cytometric analysis showed that CD59 and CD55 expression on the PGAP2 deficient cell line was not restored by variant . By contrast, activity of the variant was similar to wild-type.
Conclusions: For this patient with Mabry syndrome, the phenotype is likely to be predominantly HPMRS3: resulting from autosomal recessive inheritance of NM_001256240.2 c:284A>G, p.Tyr95Cys. We discuss strategies for establishing evidence for putative digenic inheritance in GPI deficiency disorders.

Background: Extremity tourniquets have proven to be lifesaving in both civilian and military settings and should continue to be used by first responders for trauma patients with life-threatening extremity bleeding. This is especially true in combat scenarios in which both the casualty and the first responder may be confronted by the imminent threat of death from hostile fire as the extremity hemorrhage is being treated. Not every extremity wound, however, needs a tourniquet.

The case report by Mabry et al. (1970) of a family with four children with elevated tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase, seizures and profound developmental disability, became the basis for phenotyping children with the features that became known as Mabry syndrome. Aside from improvements in the services available to patients and families, however, the diagnosis and treatment of this, and many other developmental disabilities, did not change significantly until the advent of massively parallel sequencing.

Background: As patients with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) transition from pediatric to adult health care systems, they often have difficulty finding physicians to address their NDD-related needs. In response to this care gap, we established a new consultation clinic within a behavioral neurology clinic in an adult neurology department to address the neurodevelopmental concerns of these adult patients.
Objective: To characterize the population of adult patients with NDDs seen in the adult NDD clinic in its first year.

Background: Gestational sleep apnea is a hypoxic sleep disorder that affects 8-26% of pregnancies and increases the risk for central nervous system dysfunction in offspring. Specifically, there are sex differences in the sensitivity of the fetal hippocampus to hypoxic insults, and hippocampal impairments are associated with social dysfunction, repetitive behaviors, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. Yet, it is unclear whether gestational sleep apnea impacts these hippocampal-associated functions and if sex and age modify these effects.

The phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class O protein (PIGO) enzyme is an important step in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), which is essential for the membrane anchoring of several proteins. Bi-allelic pathogenic variants in lead to a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) characterized by global developmental delay, an increase in serum alkaline phosphatase levels, congenital anomalies including anorectal, genitourinary, and limb malformations in most patients; this phenotype has been alternately called "Mabry syndrome" or "hyperphosphatasia with impaired intellectual development syndrome 2." We report a 22-month-old female with PIGO deficiency caused by novel variants.
