    Abstract The cell-type-specific expression of ligand/receptor and cell-adhesion molecules is a fundamental mechanism through which neurons regulate connectivity. Here, we determine a functional relevance of the long-established mutually exclusive expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Kit and the trans-membrane protein Kit Ligand by discrete populations of neurons in the mammalian brain. Kit is enriched in molecular layer interneurons (MLIs) of the cerebellar cortex (i.e., stellate and basket cells), while cerebellar Kit Ligand is selectively expressed by a target of their inhibition, Purkinje cells (PCs). By in vivo genetic manipulation spanning embryonic development through adulthood, we demonstrate that PC Kit Ligand and MLI Kit are required for, and capable of driving changes in, the inhibition of PCs. Collectively, these works in mice demonstrate that the Kit Ligand/Kit receptor dyad sustains mammalian central synapse function and suggest a rationale for the affiliation of Kit mutation with neurodevelopmental disorders.

    Abstract Exciting new developments in biomedical and computational sciences provide an extraordinary and unparalleled opportunity to compile, connect, and analyze multiple types of "big data," driving the development of personalized medicine. These insights must begin in early life (ie, pregnancy, neonatal, and infancy) and focus on early prevention, diagnosis, and intervention-areas of medicine where pediatricians are poised to lead the way to a personalized medicine future. The rapid growth of genomics (including pharmacogenomics), transcriptomics, and related "omics" has revolutionized the diagnosis of rare monogenic disorders. It is now clarifying the pathogenesis of complex conditions ranging from autism spectrum disorder to asthma. Collaborations between clinicians and basic scientists integrating multiomics approaches in evaluating children with severe illness are transforming the fields of perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric critical care medicine. Improvements in rapid diagnostic and prognostic information suggest that pediatric personalized medicine is under way and has an exciting future.

    Abstract Background: Noonan Syndrome is caused by variants in a variety of genes found in the RAS/MAPK pathway. As more causative genes for Noonan Syndrome have been identified, more phenotype variability has been found, particularly congenital heart defects. Here, we report a case of dilated coronary arteries in a pediatric patient with a RIT1 variant to add to the body of literature around this rare presentation of Noonan Syndrome.  CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-month-old female was admitted due to increasing coronary artery dilation and elevated inflammatory markers. Rapid whole genome sequencing was performed and a likely pathogenic RIT1 variant was detected. This gene has been associated with a rare form of Noonan Syndrome and associated heart defects. Diagnosis of the RIT1 variant also gave reassurance about the patient's cardiac findings and allowed for more timely discharge as she was discharged to home the following day.  CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights the importance of the association between dilated coronary arteries and Noonan syndrome and that careful cardiac screening should be advised in patients diagnosed with Noonan syndrome. In addition, this case emphasizes the importance of involvement of other subspecialities to determine a diagnosis. Through multidisciplinary medicine, the patient was able to return home in a timely manner with a diagnosis and the reassurance that despite her dilated coronary arteries and elevated inflammatory markers there was no immediate concern to her health.

    Abstract Gene therapy holds promise as a life-changing option for individuals with genetic variants that give rise to disease. FDA-approved gene therapies for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, β-Thalassemia, hemophilia A/B, retinal dystrophy, and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy have generated buzz around the ability to change the course of genetic syndromes. However, this excitement risks over-expansion into areas of genetic disease that may not fit the current state of gene therapy. While in situ (targeted to an area) and ex vivo (removal of cells, delivery, and administration of cells) approaches show promise, they have a limited target ability. Broader in vivo gene therapy trials have shown various continued challenges, including immune response, use of immune suppressants correlating to secondary infections, unknown outcomes of overexpression, and challenges in driving tissue-specific corrections. Viral delivery systems can be associated with adverse outcomes such as hepatotoxicity and lethality if uncontrolled. In some cases, these risks are far outweighed by the potentially lethal syndromes for which these systems are being developed. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the field of genetic diseases to perform cost-benefit analyses for gene therapy. In this work, we present the current state while setting forth tools and resources to guide informed directions to avoid foreseeable issues in gene therapy that could prevent the field from continued success.

    Abstract In 2011, biallelic loss-of-function variants in the interleukin receptor 11 alpha gene IL11RA were found to be associated with a Crouzon-like craniosynostosis syndrome with associated dental anomalies (CRSDA). Since then, a total of 41 similar patients have been reported with IL11RA variants. We report two adult brothers diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome as children, in which the clinical diagnosis of CRSDA was made on reevaluation. Laboratory testing detected biallelic IL11RA variants, c.916_924dup (p.Thr306_Ser308dup) and c.781C > T (p.Arg261Cys), both of which have now been reported in other families. Protein modeling and conservation analysis show that these two mutation sites cluster together near a WSXWS motif that likely plays a significant role in regulating IL11RA protein function. Population analysis from gnomAD shows that Non-Finnish Europeans (similar to ethnicity of this family), have an allele frequency for p.Thr306_Ser308dup of 0.014% and p.Arg261Cys of 0.008%. We found other ethnicities have functional IL11RA missense variants at higher frequencies. With this report, we provide a summary of the clinical findings including details of middle ear anomalies associated with conductive hearing loss. We also provide data supporting the populations at risk for this condition to increase recognition and diagnosis of this rare autosomal recessive craniosynostosis syndrome.

    Abstract Dysfunction of the WW domain-containing adaptor with coiled-coil, WAC, gene underlies a rare autosomal dominant disorder, DeSanto–Shinawi syndrome (DESSH). DESSH is associated with facial dysmorphia, hypotonia, and cognitive alterations, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism. How the WAC protein localizes and functions in neural cells is critical to understanding its role during development. To understand the genotype–phenotype role of WAC, we developed a knowledgebase of WAC expression, evolution, human genomics, and structural/motif analysis combined with human protein domain deletions to assess how conserved domains guide cellular distribution. Then, we assessed localization in a cell type implicated in DESSH, cortical GABAergic neurons. WAC contains conserved charged amino acids, phosphorylation signals, and enriched nuclear motifs, suggesting a role in cellular signaling and gene transcription. Human DESSH variants are found within these regions. We also discovered and tested a nuclear localization domain that impacts the cellular distribution of the protein. These data provide new insights into the potential roles of this critical developmental gene, establishing a platform to assess further translational studies, including the screening of missense genetic variants in WAC. Moreover, these studies are essential for understanding the role of human WAC variants in more diverse neurological phenotypes, including autism spectrum disorder.
