    Abstract Patients carrying 22q13.33 duplication present variable neurodevelopmental phenotype. Among these, patients with genetic alteration disrupting SHANK3 gene are very rare and they also present neurodevelopmental disorder such as autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. The real incidence is unknown because mild and variable phenotype could cause reduction in diagnosed cases. We describe the first case of 22q13.33 microduplication disrupting SHANK3 gene, inherited from mother to son, that presents a "persistent" language and speech sound disorder as main symptom without intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. More clinical reports with accurate phenotype description are needed to better define the profile of carriers of this genetic alteration.

    Abstract Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is one of the most common mitochondrial illness, causing retinal ganglion cell degeneration and central vision loss. It stems from point mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), with key mutations being m.3460G > A, m.11778G > A, and m.14484 T > C. Fibroblasts from identical twins, sharing m.14484 T > C and m.10680G > A variants each with 70 % heteroplasmy, were used to generate iPSC lines. Remarkably, one twin, a LHON patient, displayed symptoms, while the other, a carrier, remained asymptomatic. These iPSCs offer a valuable tool for studying factors influencing disease penetrance and unravelling the role of m.10680G > A, which is still debated.

    Abstract DNA deletions involving 6q22.1 region result in developmental encephalopathy (DE), often associated with movement disorders and epilepsy. The phenotype is attributed to the loss of the NUS1 gene included in the deleted region. Here we report three patients with 6q22.1 deletions of variable length all showing developmental delay, and rhythmic cortical myoclonus. Two patients had generalized seizures beginning in infancy. Myoclonic jerks had polygraphic features consistent with a cortical origin, also supported by cortico-muscular coherence analysis displaying a significant peak around 20 Hz contralateral to activated segment. Deletions in 6q22.1 region, similarly to NUS1 loss-of-function mutations, give rise to DE and cortical myoclonus via a haploinsufficiency mechanism. A phenotype of progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) may also occur.

    Abstract Pearson marrow pancreas syndrome (PMPS) is a sporadic mitochondrial disease, resulting from the clonal expansion of a mutated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule bearing a macro-deletion, and therefore missing essential genetic information. PMPS is characterized by the presence of deleted (Δ) mtDNA that co-exist with the presence of a variable amount of wild-type mtDNA, a condition termed heteroplasmy. All tissues of the affected individual, including the haemopoietic system and the post-mitotic, highly specialized tissues (brain, skeletal muscle, and heart) contain the large-scale mtDNA deletion in variable amount. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from two PMPS patients, carrying different type of large-scale deletion.

    Abstract Potocki-Lupski syndrome is a condition mainly characterized by infantile hypotonia, developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID), and congenital anomalies, caused by duplications of the 17p11.2 region, encompassing RAI1 gene. Its clinical presentation is extremely variable, especially for what concerns the cognitive level and the behavioral phenotype. Such aspects, as well as the dysmorphic/malformative ones, have been covered by previous studies; otherwise neurological features have never been systematically described. In order to delineate the neurological phenotype of Potocki-Lupski Syndrome, we collect an 8-patients cohort. Developmental milestones are delayed and a mild to moderate cognitive impairment is present in all patients, variably associated with features of autism spectrum disorder, behavioral disturb, and sleep disturb. Hypotonia appears a less frequent finding than what previously reported, while motor clumsiness/coordination impairment is frequent. EGG registration demonstrated a common pattern with excess of diffuse rhythmic activity in sleep phases or while the patient is falling asleep. Brain MRI did not reveal common anomalies, although unspecific white matter changes may be present. We discuss such findings and compare them to literature data, offering an overview on the neurological and cognitive-behavioral presentation of the syndrome.

    Abstract Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited disorder caused by homoplasmic mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). LHON is characterized by the selective degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Almost all LHON maternal lineages are homoplasmic mutant (100% mtDNA copies are mutant) for one of three frequent mtDNA mutations now found in over 90% of patients worldwide (m.11778G > A/MT-ND4, m.3460G > A/MT-ND1, m.14484 T > C/MT-ND6). Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were generated from a patient carrying the homoplasmic m.3460G > A/MT-ND1 mutation using the Sendai virus non-integrating virus.

    Abstract The generation of inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a revolutionary technique allowing production of pluripotent patient-specific cell lines used for disease modeling, drug screening, and cell therapy. Integrity of nuclear DNA (nDNA) is mandatory to allow iPSCs utilization, while quality control of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is rarely included in the iPSCs validation process. In this study, we performed mtDNA deep sequencing during the transition from parental fibroblasts to reprogrammed iPSC and to differentiated neuronal precursor cells (NPCs) obtained from controls and patients affected by mitochondrial disorders. At each step, mtDNA variants, including those potentially pathogenic, fluctuate between emerging and disappearing, and some having functional implications. We strongly recommend including mtDNA analysis as an unavoidable assay to obtain fully certified usable iPSCs and NPCs.
