AI Article Synopsis
- * Over nine years, some patients experienced vision deterioration, while others maintained their eyesight, and the research followed three individuals closely to track their visual changes.
- * Understanding these variations can help develop specific treatments and therapies tailored to individuals with the same genetic variants in this condition.
Article Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to describe the intrafamilial phenotypic variability and natural history of a -related retinal dystrophy. Methods We performed a retrospective chart review of seven patients from the same family, five of whom had the c.828+3A>T pathogenic variant, characterizing the natural history and intrafamilial phenotypic variation. Results Over the course of nine years, two patients had a deterioration of vision, one had unchanged visual acuity, and four were lost to follow-up after diagnosis. Two patients developed choroidal neovascular membranes. Five family members completed genetic testing. Conclusions In the current case series, we described the various phenotypes associated with the pathogenic variants in related individuals of the same family. We tracked the changes in visual acuity and phenotype in three related patients over five to nine years. Translational relevance Studying the natural history and phenotypic variations of the gene can lead to targeted therapeutic interventions and personalized treatment strategies for affected individuals.

Background: Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome is a monogenic type 1 interferonopathy with infantile onset, characterized by a variable degree of neurological damage. Approximately 7% of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome cases are caused by pathogenic variants in the ADAR gene and are classified as Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome type 6. Here, we present a new homozygous pathogenic variant in the ADAR gene.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), an autosomal recessive ciliopathy with pleiotropic effects, manifests as a spectrum of anomalies involving multiple genes and affects fewer than 3,000 individuals in the USA. Due to its rarity and phenotypic variability, early diagnosis of BBS poses a significant challenge. Therefore, we aim to shed light on the intrafamilial phenotypic variation of BBS resulting from a variant by delineating the clinical presentation in two siblings.

Article Synopsis
- Turner-type X-linked syndromic intellectual developmental disorder (MRXST) is linked to variants in the HUWE1 gene and manifests through global developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and unique facial features.
- This study examined two families with MRXST, identifying genetic variations in HUWE1 through whole-exome sequencing and noting different inheritance patterns.
- The research highlights consistent clinical features across cases, emphasizing the role of the HUWE1 gene in development, and proposes a monitoring protocol to improve diagnosis and management for affected individuals.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a novel variant of the AIFM1 gene linked to early-onset hearing loss and progressive cerebellar ataxia in two siblings.
- Clinical evaluations included brain MRI scans, electromyography (EMG) studies, and whole genome sequencing (WGS), revealing various neurological symptoms and a unique genetic mutation.
- The findings suggest that AIFM1 variants should be considered in hereditary cases of cerebellar ataxia and auditory issues, contributing new insights into the genetic spectrum of related diseases.
