    Abstract Proteus syndrome is a very rare disorder with progressive, asymmetrical, and disproportionate overgrowth of body parts with a highly variable phenotype. It is associated with mosaicism for the recurrent heterozygous somatic gain-of-function variant c.49G>A (p.Glu17Lys) in the protein kinase AKT1. We report on a girl with a progressive intraosseous lipoma of the frontal bone and additional, nonspecific features including mild developmental delay, strabism, and a limbal dermoid of the left eye. She did not fulfill the criteria for a clinical diagnosis of Proteus syndrome. However, mutation analysis of AKT1 in a lipoma biopsy revealed this specific activating variant. Several cases of progressive intraosseous lipoma of the frontal bone have been reported in the literature. Only in two of these observations, a tentative diagnosis of Proteus syndrome was made, based on additional clinical features, although without molecular-genetic verification. We conclude that oligosymptomatic Proteus syndrome should be considered in progressive intraosseous lipoma, as recognition of this diagnosis has relevant implications for genetic counseling and opens novel treatment options with AKT1 inhibitors rather than surgical procedures.

    Abstract The fibroblast growth factor receptors comprise a family of related but individually distinct tyrosine kinase receptors. Within this family, FGFR2 is a key regulator in many biological processes, e.g., cell proliferation, tumorigenesis, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Heterozygous activating non-mosaic germline variants in FGFR2 have been linked to numerous autosomal dominantly inherited disorders including several craniosynostoses and skeletal dysplasia syndromes. We report on a girl with cutaneous nevi, ocular malformations, macrocephaly, mild developmental delay, and the initial clinical diagnosis of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, a very rare mosaic neurocutaneous disorder caused by postzygotic missense variants in HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS. Exome sequencing of blood and affected skin tissue identified the mosaic variant c.1647=/T > G p.(Asn549=/Lys) in FGFR2, upstream of the RAS signaling pathway. The variant is located in the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR2 in a region that regulates the activity of the receptor and structural mapping and functional characterization revealed that it results in constitutive receptor activation. Overall, our findings indicate FGFR2-associated neurocutaneous syndrome as the accurate clinical-molecular diagnosis for the reported individual, and thereby expand the complex genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of FGFR-associated disorders. We conclude that molecular analysis of FGFR2 should be considered in the genetic workup of individuals with the clinical suspicion of a mosaic neurocutaneous condition, as the knowledge of the molecular cause might have relevant implications for genetic counseling, prognosis, tumor surveillance and potential treatment options.

    Abstract Background: Benefits and challenges resulting from advances in genetic diagnostics are two sides of the same coin. Facilitation of a correct and timely diagnosis is paralleled by challenges in interpretation of variants of unknown significance (VUS). Focusing on an individual VUS-re-classification pipeline, this study offers a diagnostic approach for clinically suspected hereditary muscular dystrophy by combining the expertise of an interdisciplinary team.
    Methods: In a multi-step approach, a thorough phenotype assessment including clinical examination, laboratory work, muscle MRI and histopathological evaluation of muscle was performed in combination with advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Different in-silico tools and prediction programs like Alamut, SIFT, Polyphen, MutationTaster and M-Cap as well as 3D- modeling of protein structure and RNA-sequencing were employed to determine clinical significance of the

    Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and a major public health concern. Currently, neither prevention nor treatment exists to cure or stop the fatal disease. Findings suggest that neurodegeneration begins decades before the first symptoms occur. A focus of AD research involves identifying asymptomatic adults at increased risk with the purpose of initiating treatment before the onset of irreversible neurological disease. According to the current state of knowledge AD is a complex disease due to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Sporadic late-onset...

    Abstract Cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) is a small Rho GTPase, which serves as a fundamental intracellular signal node regulating actin cytoskeletal dynamics and several other integral cellular processes. CDC42-associated disorders encompass a broad clinical spectrum including Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome, autoinflammatory syndromes and neurodevelopmental phenotypes mimicking RASopathies. Dysregulation of CDC42 signaling by genetic defects in either DOCK6 or ARHGAP31 is also considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). Here, we report a mother and her child carrying the previously reported pathogenic CDC42 variant c.511G>A (p.Glu171Lys). Both affected individuals presented with short stature, distinctive craniofacial features, pectus deformity as well as heart and eye anomalies, similar to the recently described Noonan syndrome-like phenotype associated with this variant. Remarkably, one of the patients additionally exhibited aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp. Multi-gene panel sequencing of the known AOS-causative genes and whole exome sequencing revealed no second pathogenic variant in any disease-associated gene explaining the aplasia cutis phenotype in our patient. This observation further expands the phenotypic spectrum of CDC42-associated disorders and underscores the role of CDC42 dysregulation in the pathogenesis of aplasia cutis congenita.
