    Abstract A 21-year-old patient presented with a previous medical history of pallor, mild icterus, increased fatigue, low hemoglobin, and abnormal hemoglobin variant analysis with more than 70 transfusions. He was referred for genetic analysis to identify the pathogenic variations in the β-globin gene. Sanger's sequencing of the proband and his family revealed the presence of a novel frame shift variant

    Abstract Abstract Background The phenotype of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients is determined by the type of DMD gene variation, its location, effect on reading frame, and its size. The primary objective of this investigation was to determine the frequency and distribution of DMD gene variants (deletions/duplications) in Sri Lanka through the utilization of a combined approach involving multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) followed by Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) and compare to the international literature. The current consensus is that MLPA is a labor efficient yet expensive technique for identifying deletions and duplications in the DMD gene. Methodology Genetic analysis was performed in a cohort of 236 clinically suspected pediatric and adult myopathy patients in Sri Lanka, using mPCR and MLPA. A comparative analysis was conducted between our findings and literature data. Results In the entire patient cohort (n = 236), mPCR solely was able to identify deletions in the DMD gene in 131/236 patients (DMD-120, BMD-11). In the same cohort, MLPA confirmed deletions in 149/236 patients [DMD-138, BMD -11]. These findings suggest that mPCR has a detection rate of 95% (131/138) among all patients who received a diagnosis. The distal and proximal deletion hotspots for DMD were exons 45–55 and 6–15. Exon 45–60 identified as a novel in-frame variation hotspot. Exon 45–59 was a hotspot for BMD deletions. Comparisons with the international literature show significant variations observed in deletion and duplication frequencies in DMD gene across different populations. Conclusion DMD gene deletions and duplications are concentrated in exons 45–55 and 2–20 respectively, which match global variation hotspots. Disparities in deletion and duplication frequencies were observed when comparing our data to other Asian and Western populations. Identified a 95% deletion detection rate for mPCR, making it a viable initial molecular diagnostic approach for low-resource ...

    Abstract Overgrowth syndromes are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by focal or generalized overgrowth. Many of the syndromes have overlapping clinical features and it is difficult to diagnose the condition based on clinical features alone. In the present study we report on a patient with overgrowth syndrome where extensive investigation did not reveal the cause of disease. Finally exome sequencing revealed a novel hemizygous single base pair deletion in exon 8 of GPC3 gene (chrX:132670203delA) resulting in a frameshift and creating a new stop codon at 62 amino acids downstream to codon 564 (c.1692delT; p.Leu565SerfsTer63) of the protein. The mutation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The mother was found to be heterozygous for the mutation. This variation is not reported in the 1000 Genomes, Exome Variant Server (EVS), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) and dbSNP databases and the region is conserved across primates. Exome sequencing was helpful in establishing diagnosis of Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome type 1 (SGBS1) in a patient with unknown overgrowth syndrome.

    Abstract Sialidosis, an autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by progressive lysosomal storage of sialylated glycopeptides and oligosaccharides. It occurs as a result of biallelic mutations in the NEU1 gene. Sialidosis is traditionally classified as a milder, late-onset type I and a severe early-onset type II disease. The presence of a cherry-red spot is a well-established ophthalmological clue to the disorder. We present a clinical-radiological report of seven unrelated patients with molecularly confirmed sialidosis type II. To the best of our knowledge, This is the largest reported series of patients with Sialidosis type II. A novel, previously unreported ophthalmic phenotype of bulls-eye maculopathy, is described. All seven phenotypically heterogeneous patients had the same pathogenic variant (c.679G > A; p.Gly227Arg) at a homozygous level in the NEU1 gene. We propose that this is a common mutation in north Indians for this rare disorder. We also observed an overlap of symptoms and a continuum of phenotypes in type I and II Sialidosis. Keywords: Common mutation, Bull's eye maculopathy, Sialidosis type II, NEU1, Polypheny, North India
