    Abstract Background: In this study, we used the novel DeepGestalt technology powered by Face2Gene (FDNA Inc., MA, USA) in suggesting a correct diagnosis based on the facial gestalt of well-known multiple anomaly syndromes. Only molecularly characterized pediatric patients were considered in the present research.
    Subjects and methods: A total of 19 two-dimensional (2D) images of patients affected by several molecularly confirmed craniofacial syndromes (14 monogenic disorders and 5 chromosome diseases) and evaluated at the main involved Institution were analyzed using the Face2Gene CLINIC application (vs.19.1.3). Patients were cataloged into two main analysis groups (A, B) according to the number of clinical evaluations. Specifically, group A contained the patients evaluated more than one time, while in group B were comprised the subjects with a single clinical assesment. The algorithm's reliability was measured based on its capacity to identify the correct diagnosis as top-1 match, within the top-10 match and top-30 matches, only based on the uploaded image and not any other clinical finding or HPO terms. Failure was represented by the top-0 match.
    Results: The correct diagnosis was suggested respectively in 100% (8/8) and 81% (9/11) of cases of group A and B, globally failing in 16% (3/19).
    Conclusion: The tested tool resulted to be useful in identifying the facial gestalt of a heterogeneous group of syndromic disorders. This study illustrates the first Italian experience with the next generation phenotyping technology, following previous works and providing additional observations.

    Abstract The involvement of the Histaminergic System (HS) in neuropsychiatric disease is not well-documented, and few studies have described patients affected by different neuropsychiatric conditions harbouring disruptions in genes involved in the HS. In humans, histamine is synthetised from histidine by the histidine decarboxylase enzyme encoded by the HDC gene (OMIM*142704). This is the sole enzyme in our organism able to synthetise histamine from histidine. Histamine is also contained in many different food types. We hereby describe a twenty-one-year-old female diagnosed with a borderline intellectual disability with autistic traits and other peculiar neuropsychological features carrying a 175-Kb interstitial deletion on chromosome 15q21.2. The deletion was inherited from the mother, who was affected by a severe anxiety disorder. The deleted region contains entirely the HDC and the SLC27A2 genes and partially the ATP8B4 gene. The HDC gene has been previously associated with Tourette Syndrome (TS). Based on the functional role of the HDC, we propose this gene as the best candidate to explain many traits associated with the clinical phenotype of our patient and of her mother.

    Abstract As a consequence of the implementation of NGS technologies, the diagnostic yield of neurodevelopmental disorders has dramatically increased during the past two decades. Among neurodevelopmental genes, transcription-related genes and chromatin remodeling genes are the most represented category of disease-causing genes. Indeed, the term “chromatinopathies” is now widely used to describe epigenetic disorders caused by mutations in these genes. We hereby describe a twenty-seven-year-old female patient diagnosed with moderate intellectual disability comorbid with other neuropsychiatric and behavioral issues carrying a de novo heterozygous stop variant in the KDM5C gene (NM_004187.5: c. 3847G>T, p.Glu1283*), encoding a histone demethylase that specifically acts on the H3K4 lysines. The gene is located on the X chromosome and has been associated with Claes–Jensen-type intellectual disability, an X-linked syndromic disorder. We discuss our case in relation to previously reported affected females harboring pathogenic mutations in the KDM5C gene with the objective of delineating genotype–phenotype correlations and further defining a common recognizable phenotype. We also highlight the importance of reverse phenotyping in relation to whole-exome sequencing results.

    Abstract We describe the second patient with the de novo p.Arg377Trp variant in ACTL6A (Actin-like 6A) (MIM#604958) and a phenotype reminiscent a disorder of the BRG1-associated factor (BAF) complex, including dysmorphic facies and acral malformations. So far, only three patients with ACTL6A variants and neurodevelopmental delay have been reported but the specific p.Arg377Trp mutation seems to correlate with a distinctive phenotype well-fitting a BAFopathy, which lacks in individuals carrying different mutations. This could suggest an emergent genotype-phenotype correlation among the ACTL6A-related phenotype.

    Abstract Objectives: With the availability of vaccines, commercial assays detecting anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies evolved toward quantitative assays directed to the spike glycoprotein or its receptor-binding domain (RBD). The objective was to perform a large-scale, longitudinal study involving health care workers (HCWs), with the aim of establishing the kinetics of immune response throughout the 9-month period after receipt of the second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine.
    Methods: Quantitative determination of immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies against the RBD of the S1 subunit of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 on the Alinity systems.
    Results: The highest levels of anti-RBD IgG were measured after 1 month from full vaccination (median: 1432 binding antibody units/ml [BAU/ml]); subsequently, a steep decrease (7.4-fold decrease) in IgG levels was observed at 6 months (median: 194.3 BAU/ml), with a further 2.5-fold decrease at 9 months (median: 79.3 BAU/ml). Furthermore, the same data, when analyzed for sex, showed significant differences between male and female participants at both 1 and 9 months from vaccination, but not at 6 months.
    Conclusion: Our results confirm the tendency of anti-RBD antibodies to decrease over time, also when extending the analysis up to 9 months, and highlight a better ability of the female sex to produce antibodies 1 month and 9 months after vaccination. Overall, these data, obtained in a wide population of HCWs, support the importance of having increased the vaccine doses.
