    Abstract Aging is a physiological process that is in part genetically determined. Some of the signs and symptoms of aging also occur prematurely in Mendelian disorders. Such disorders are excellent sources of information of underlying mechanisms for these components of aging, and studying these may allow detection of pathways that have not yet considered in detail in physiological aging. Here I define the clinical characteristics that constitute aging and propose that at least 40% of aging signs and symptoms should be present before an entity should be tagged as progeroid. A literature search using these characteristics yields 17 entities that fulfill this definition: Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, mandibulo-acral dysplasia, Nestor-Guillermo progeria, Werner syndrome, Cockayne syndrome, cutis laxa progeroid, Penttinen progeroid syndrome, Mandibular underdevelopment, Deafness, Progeroid features, Lipodystrophy, Fontaine progeroid syndrome, SHORT syndrome, Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome, Mulvihill-Smith syndrome, dyskeratosis congenita, Marfan syndrome lipodystrophy type, Warburg-Cinotti syndrome, Lessel syndrome and Bloom syndrome. The presenting and main characteristics of these entities are indicated briefly. Their pathophysiology is not complete pathophysiology is reviewed but only the pathophysiology of the premature aging characteristics of this series of entities is compared to the known mechanisms ("Hallmarks") of physiological aging as summarized in the review paper by Lopez-Otin and colleagues. Although many causative genes have not been studied fully for all known aging mechanisms the comparison demonstrates that additional mechanisms must play a role to explain the aging characteristic in some of the progeroid entities of the progeroid entities, and possibly also in physiological aging.

    Abstract Aging is widely studied as a physiological process. Segmental aging can also occur prematurely in Mendelian disorders, and these can act this way as excellent sources of information, specifically for the underlying mechanisms. Adequate recognition of such aging characteristics in Mendelian disorders needs a well-defined phenotype of aging. Here the external phenotype of aging is described that can be recognized in the consulting room without major additional studies. Existing definitions of the signs and symptoms in Elements of Morphology or Human Phenotype Ontology are added or a new definition is suggested if none is available.

    Abstract One of the questions that arises frequently when caring for an individual with a malformation syndrome, is whether some form of tumor surveillance is indicated. In some syndromes there is a highly variable increased risk to develop tumors, while in others this is not the case. The risks can be hard to predict and difficult to explain to affected individuals and their families, and often also to caregivers. The queries arise especially if syndrome causing mutations are also known to occur in tumors. It needs insight in the mechanisms to understand and explain differences of tumor occurrence, and to offer optimal care to individuals with syndromes. Here we provide a short overview of the major mechanisms of the control for tumor occurrences in malformation syndromes.

    Abstract The 5p13 microduplication syndrome is a contiguous gene syndrome characterized by developmental delay intellectual disability, hypotonia, unusual facies with marked variability, mild limb anomalies, and in some cases brain malformations. The duplication ranges in size from 0.25 to 1.08 Mb and encompasses five genes (NIPBL, SLC1A3, CPLANE1, NUP155, and WDR70), of which NIPBL has been suggested to be the main dose sensitive gene. All patients with duplication of the complete NIPBL gene reported thus far have been de novo. Here, we report a 25-week-old male fetus with hypertelorism, wide and depressed nasal bridge, depressed nasal tip, low-set ears, clenched hands, flexion contracture of elbows, knees, and left wrist, and bilateral clubfeet, bowing and shortening of long bones and brain malformation of dorsal part of callosal body. The fetus had a 667 kb gain at 5p13.2 encompassing SLC1A3, NIPBL and exons 22-52 of CPLANE1. The microduplication was inherited from the healthy father, in whom no indication for mosaicism was detected. The family demonstrates that incomplete penetrance of 5p13 microduplication syndrome may occur which is important in genetic counseling of families with this entity.

    Abstract Humans with the mutation Y509C in transducin beta like 1 X-linked (TBL1X HGNC ID HGNC:11585) have been reported to present with the combination of central congenital hypothyroidism and impaired hearing. TBL1X belongs to the WD40 repeat-containing protein family, is part of NCoR and SMRT corepressor complexes, and thereby involved in thyroid hormone signaling. In order to investigate the effects of the Y509C mutation in TBL1X on cellular thyroid hormone action, we aimed to generate a hemizygous male mouse cohort carrying the Tbl1x Y459C mutation which is equivalent to the human TBL1X Y509C mutation using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Hemizygous male mice were small at birth and inactive. Their life span (median life span 93 days) was very short compared with heterozygous female mice (survived to >200 days with no welfare issues). About 52% of mice did not survive to weaning (133 mice). Of the remaining 118 mice, only 8 were hemizygous males who were unable to mate whereby it was impossible to generate homozygous female mice. In conclusion, the Tbl1x Y459C mutation in male mice has a marked negative effect on birth weight, survival, and fertility of male mice. The present findings are unexpected as they are in contrast to the mild phenotype in human males carrying the equivalent TBL1X Y509C mutation.

    Abstract Ocular pterygium–digital keloid dysplasia (OPDKD) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by corneal ingrowth of vascularized conjunctival tissue early in life. Later, patients develop keloids on fingers and toes but are otherwise healthy. In a recently described family with OPDKD, we report the presence of a de novo c.770C > T, p.(Thr257Ile) variant in PELI2 in the affected individual. PELI2 encodes for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino‐2. In transgenic U87MG cells overexpressing Pellino‐2 with the p.(Thr257Ile) amino acid substitution, constitutive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome was observed. However, the Thr257Ile variant did not affect Pellino‐2 intracellular localization, its binding to known interaction partners, nor its stability. Our findings indicate that constitutive autoactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the development of PELI2‐associated OPDKD.
