Autosomal dominant craniometaphyseal dysplasia (AD-CMD) is a rare condition defined by the occurrence of progressive diffuse hyperostosis of cranial bones and abnormal metaphyseal widening of the tubular bones. is known to be the only gene associated with AD-CMD. We present a case of a toddler boy with macrodolichocephaly, asymmetry of the skull, wide bulging forehead, gingival hypertrophy and irregular teeth. Physical examination, X-ray and DNA analysis were performed. All exons and flanking intron regions of were amplified by PCR and directly sequenced using the Sanger method. X-ray images showed diffuse osteosclerosis in the area of facial skeleton and skull base. Limbs exhibited club-shaped enlargement of the distal metaphysis of the femur and the proximal metaphysis of the tibia were described. The DNA analysis showed that the patient is a heterozygous carrier of the known pathogenic in-frame deletion (rs121908406; :c.1122-4delCTC, p.Ser375del), which has already been described in patients with AD-CMD.

Background: The few reported patients with pathogenic IRF8 variants have manifested 2 distinct phenotypes: (1) an autosomal recessive severe immunodeficiency with significant neutrophilia and absence of or significant decrease in monocytes and dendritic cells and (2) a dominant-negative form with only a decrease in conventional type 2 dendritic cells (cDC2s) and susceptibility to mycobacterial disease.
Objectives: Genetic testing of a child with persistent EBV viremia identified a novel IRF8 variant: c.1279dupT (p.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition condition characterized by a high lifetime risk for a wide spectrum of malignancies associated with germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. Secondary malignant neoplasms are particularly common. Early cancer detection through surveillance enables early intervention and leads to improved clinical outcomes with reduced tumor-related mortality and treatment-related morbidity.

Background: Fifth finger clinodactyly describes the conspicuous curvature of the fifth digit toward the other digits of the hand. Phenotypic expression can range from mild and almost imperceptible to severe, where function is impacted, and clinical intervention may be required. Although classically considered an autosomal dominant trait based on early family studies, no genes have been mapped for the trait.

Introduction: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by an inactivating mutation in the gene, while Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder resulting from a pathogenic mutation in the gene. Both genetic disorders are relatively rare. This report presents a patient with both FHH and GS, exhibiting unique clinical and genetic complexities.
