    Abstract Complex heart defects (CHD) are a common malformation associated with disruption of developmental pathways. The Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs) are multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligases in which Cullin 3 (CUL3) serves as a scaffolding subunit. Heterozygous CUL3 variants have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIE. We report a fetus with CHD and a de novo CUL3 variant (NM_003590.4:c.[1549_1552del];[=], p.(Ser517Profs*23)) and review CUL3 variants reported with CHD. We postulate that CUL3 variants predispose to CHD and hypothesize mechanisms of pathogenesis.

    Abstract Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) of the central nervous system arise sporadically or secondary to genomic variation. Established genetic etiologies include deleterious variants in KRIT1 (CCM1), malcavernin (CCM2), and PDCD10 (CCM3). KRIT1-related disease has not been described in conjunction with lymphatic defects, although lymphatic defects with abnormal endothelial cell junctions have been observed in mice deficient in HEG1-KRIT1 signaling. We report a proband with CCMs, multiple chylous mesenteric cysts, and chylous ascites with leaky lymphatic vasculature. Clinical short-read exome sequencing detected a disease-associated KRIT1 variant (NM_194456.1:c.[1927C>T];[=], p.(Gln643*)). We postulate an expansion of KRIT1-related disease to include lymphatic malformations and lymphatic endothelial dysfunction.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the etiology of cerebellar ataxia in an adult male patient.
    Methods: We performed standard neurologic assessment and genome sequencing of a 62-year-old man with rapidly progressive balance and gait abnormalities.
    Results: The propositus exhibited cognitive dysfunction, mild appendicular bradykinesia, prominent appendicular ataxia, dysarthria, and hypomimia with minimal dysautonomic symptoms. Nerve conduction studies showed mild peripheral sensory neuropathy and normal motor nerve conduction velocities. Brain imaging showed progressive cerebellar atrophy and gliosis of the olivopontocerebellar fibers, characterized by T2 hyperintensity within the pons. Genetic testing revealed a likely pathogenic germline variant in

    Abstract The Notch proteins play key roles in cell fate determination during development. Germline pathogenic variants in NOTCH1 predispose to a spectrum of cardiovascular malformations including Adams-Oliver syndrome and a wide variety of isolated complex and simple congenital heart defects. The intracellular C-terminus of the single-pass transmembrane receptor encoded by NOTCH1 contains a transcriptional activating domain (TAD) required for target gene activation and a PEST domain (a sequence rich in proline, glutamic acid, serine, and threonine), regulating protein stability and turnover. We present a patient with a novel variant encoding a truncated NOTCH1 protein without the TAD and PEST domain (NM_017617.4: c.[6626_6629del];[=], p.(Tyr2209CysfsTer38)) and extensive cardiovascular abnormalities consistent with a NOTCH1-mediated mechanism. This variant fails to promote transcription of target genes as assessed by luciferase reporter assay. Given the roles of the TAD and PEST domains in NOTCH1 function and regulation, we hypothesize that loss of both the TAD and the PEST domain results in a stable, loss-of-function protein that acts as an antimorph through competition with wild-type NOTCH1.

    Abstract Pathogenic PHF21A variation causes PHF21A-related neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Although amorphic alleles, including haploinsufficiency, have been established as a disease mechanism, increasing evidence suggests that missense variants as well as frameshift variants extending the BHC80 carboxyl terminus also cause disease. Expanding on these, we report a proposita with intellectual disability and overgrowth and a novel de novo heterozygous PHF21A splice variant (NM_001352027.3:c.[153+1G>C];[=]) causing skipping of exon 6, which encodes an in-frame BHC80 deletion (p.(Asn30_Gln51del)). This deletion disrupts a predicted leucine zipper domain and implicates this domain in BHC80 function and as a target of variation causing PHF21A-related NDDs. This extension of understanding emphasizes the application of RNA analysis in precision genomic medicine practice.

    Abstract Numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations cause functional changes in cell biology underlying cancer. These hallmark functional changes constitute potentially tissue-independent anticancer therapeutic targets. We hypothesized that RNA-Seq identifies gene expression changes that underly those hallmarks, and thereby defines relevant therapeutic targets. To test this hypothesis, we analysed the publicly available TCGA-TARGET-GTEx gene expression data set from the University of California Santa CruzToil recompute project using WGCNA to delineate co-correlated 'modules' from tumour gene expression profiles and functional enrichment of these modules to hierarchically cluster tumours. This stratified tumours according to T cell activation, NK-cell activation, complement cascade, ATM, Rb, angiogenic, MAPK, ECM receptor and histone modification signalling. These correspond to the cancer hallmarks of avoiding immune destruction, tumour-promoting inflammation, evading growth suppressors, inducing angiogenesis, sustained proliferative signalling, activating invasion and metastasis, and genome instability and mutation. This approach did not detect pathways corresponding to the cancer enabling replicative immortality, resisting cell death or deregulating cellular energetics hallmarks. We conclude that RNA-Seq stratifies tumours along some, but not all, hallmarks of cancer and, therefore, could be used in conjunction with other analyses collectively to inform precision therapy.

    Abstract To date, PACS1-neurodevelopmental disorder (PACS1-NDD) has been associated with recurrent variation of Arg203 and is considered diagnostic of PACS1-NDD, an autosomal dominant syndromic intellectual disability disorder. Although incompletely defined, the proposed disease mechanism for this variant is altered PACS1 affinity for its client proteins. Given this proposed mechanism, we hypothesized that PACS1 variants that interfere with binding of adaptor proteins might also give rise to syndromic intellectual disability. Herein, we report a proposita and her mother with phenotypic features overlapping PACS1-NDD and a novel PACS1 variant (NM_018026.3:c.[755C > T];[=], p.(Ser252Phe)) that impedes binding of the adaptor protein GGA3 (Golgi-associated, gamma-adaptin ear-containing, ARF-binding protein 3). We hypothesize that attenuating PACS1 binding of GGA3 also gives rise to a disorder with features overlapping those of PACS1-NDD. This observation better delineates the mechanism by which PACS1 variation predisposes to syndromic intellectual disability.

    Abstract This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of nuclear bodies in regulating gene expression. The compartmentalization of cellular processes, such as ribosome biogenesis, RNA processing, cellular response to stress, transcription, modification and assembly of spliceosomal snRNPs, histone gene synthesis and nuclear RNA retention, has significant implications for gene regulation. These functional nuclear domains include the nucleolus, nuclear speckle, nuclear stress body, transcription factory, Cajal body, Gemini of Cajal body, histone locus body and paraspeckle. We herein review the roles of nuclear bodies in regulating gene expression and their relation to human health and disease.
