    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable and chronically debilitating skeletal dysplasia. Patients with OI typically present with reduced bone mass, tendency for recurrent fractures, short stature and bowing deformities of the long bones. Mutations causative of OI have been identified in over 20 genes involved in collagen folding, posttranslational modification and processing, and in bone mineralization and osteoblast development. In 2016, we described the first X-linked recessive form of OI caused by

    Abstract Background: Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) of childhood is a rare and devastating infection-associated acute encephalopathy. While there are no consensus treatments for ANE, recent case reports suggest a beneficial role for the use of tocilizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor. The correlation of the timing of add-on tocilizumab in relation to long-term outcome has not been reported.
    Methods: We report on the timing of administration of tocilizumab in two patients classified as high-risk using the ANE severity score (ANE-SS) with respect to the long-term outcome at 2 years.
    Results: Case 1 was a 19-month-old previously well boy who presented to a tertiary children's hospital with seizures, evolving status dystonicus and shock. Case 2 was a three-year-old boy who presented to a peripheral hospital with fever, sepsis and encephalopathy. The patients were transferred to the tertiary intensive care unit and MRI confirmed ANE with extensive brainstem involvement. Case 1 received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), methylprednisolone and tocilizumab at 21, 39 and 53 h respectively. His modified Rankin scale (mRS) at discharge and two years was unchanged at 5. The functional independence measure - for children (WeeFIM) at two years was very low (19/126). Case 2 received dexamethasone at 1 h, methylprednisolone at 21 h and IVIg and tocilizumab at 22 h. The mRS at discharge and two years was 4 and 3 respectively. The WeeFIM score at two years showed substantial improvement (96/126).
    Conclusion: The very early use of interleukin-6 blockade as 'add-on' immunotherapy in the first 24 h demonstrates potential for improving the long-term outcome in patients classified as high-risk using the ANE-SS.

    Abstract Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a complex genetic disorder associated with heterozygous variation in ZEB2. It is mainly characterized by moderate-to-severe intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, epilepsy, and various malformations including Hirschsprung disease, corpus callosum anomalies, and congenital heart defects. It is rarely diagnosed prenatally and there is limited information available on the prenatal phenotype associated with MWS. Here we report the detection of a heterozygous de novo nonsense variant in ZEB2 by whole exome sequencing in a fetus with microphthalmia in addition to cardiac defects and typical MWS facial dysmorphism. As the prenatal phenotypic spectrum of MWS expands, the routine addition of fetal genomic testing particularly in the presence of multiple malformations will increase both the sensitivity and specificity of prenatal diagnostics.

    Abstract In scaling up an ultra-rapid genomics program, we used implementation science principles to design and investigate influences on implementation and identify strategies required for sustainable "real-world" services. Interviews with key professionals revealed the importance of networks and relationship building, leadership, culture, and the relative advantage afforded by ultra-rapid genomics in the care of critically ill children. Although clinical geneticists focused on intervention characteristics and the fit with patient-centered care, intensivists emphasized the importance of access to knowledge, in particular from clinical geneticists. The relative advantage of ultra-rapid genomics and trust in consistent and transparent delivery were significant in creating engagement at initial implementation, with appropriate resourcing highlighted as important for longer term sustainability of implementation. Our findings demonstrate where common approaches can be used and, significantly, where there is a need to tailor support by professional role and implementation phase, to maximize the potential of ultra-rapid genomic testing to improve patient care.

    Abstract Heterozygous ARID1B variants result in Coffin-Siris syndrome. Features may include hypoplastic nails, slow growth, characteristic facial features, hypotonia, hypertrichosis, and sparse scalp hair. Most reported cases are due to ARID1B loss of function variants. We report a boy with developmental delay, feeding difficulties, aspiration, recurrent respiratory infections, slow growth, and hypotonia without a clinical diagnosis, where a previously unreported ARID1B missense variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance. The pathogenicity of this variant was refined through combined methodologies including genome-wide methylation signature analysis (EpiSign), Machine Learning (ML) facial phenotyping, and LIRICAL. Trio exome sequencing and EpiSign were performed. ML facial phenotyping compared facial images using FaceMatch and GestaltMatcher to syndrome-specific libraries to prioritize the trio exome bioinformatic pipeline gene list output. Phenotype-driven variant prioritization was performed with LIRICAL. A de novo heterozygous missense variant, ARID1B p.(Tyr1268His), was reported as a variant of uncertain significance. The ACMG classification was refined to likely pathogenic by a supportive methylation signature, ML facial phenotyping, and prioritization through LIRICAL. The ARID1B genotype-phenotype has been expanded through an extended analysis of missense variation through genome-wide methylation signatures, ML facial phenotyping, and likelihood-ratio gene prioritization.

    Abstract Objective: WWOX is an autosomal recessive cause of early infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (WWOX-DEE), also known as WOREE (WWOX-related epileptic encephalopathy). We analyzed the epileptology and imaging features of WWOX-DEE, and investigated genotype-phenotype correlations, particularly with regard to survival.
    Methods: We studied 13 patients from 12 families with WWOX-DEE. Information regarding seizure semiology, comorbidities, facial dysmorphisms, and disease outcome were collected. Electroencephalographic (EEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were analyzed. Pathogenic WWOX variants from our cohort and the literature were coded as either null or missense, allowing individuals to be classified into one of three genotype classes: (1) null/null, (2) null/missense, (3) missense/missense. Differences in survival outcome were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
    Results: All patients experienced multiple seizure types (median onset = 5 weeks, range = 1 day-10 months), the most frequent being focal (85%), epileptic spasms (77%), and tonic seizures (69%). Ictal EEG recordings in six of 13 patients showed tonic (n = 5), myoclonic (n = 2), epileptic spasms (n = 2), focal (n = 1), and migrating focal (n = 1) seizures. Interictal EEGs demonstrated slow background activity with multifocal discharges, predominantly over frontal or temporo-occipital regions. Eleven of 13 patients had a movement disorder, most frequently dystonia. Brain MRIs revealed severe frontotemporal, hippocampal, and optic atrophy, thin corpus callosum, and white matter signal abnormalities. Pathogenic variants were located throughout WWOX and comprised both missense and null changes including five copy number variants (four deletions, one duplication). Survival analyses showed that patients with two null variants are at higher mortality risk (p-value = .0085, log-rank test).
    Significance: Biallelic WWOX pathogenic variants cause an early infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy syndrome. The most common seizure types are focal seizures and epileptic spasms. Mortality risk is associated with mutation type; patients with biallelic null WWOX pathogenic variants have significantly lower survival probability compared to those carrying at least one presumed hypomorphic missense pathogenic variant.
