    Abstract Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) (epithelioid PEComa of the kidney), is a rare subtype of renal angiomyolipoma with the potential for aggressive behavior and a known diagnostically challenging entity. We present a renal EAML with unusual papillary architecture and tumor cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and cherry-red nucleoli with perinucleolar halos, strongly mimicking a fumarate hydratase (FH) deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We herein report our findings and discuss the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular pitfalls to consider in the differential of EAML, including with FH-deficient RCC and more recently described entities:

    Abstract Congenital nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) deficiency disorders are associated with pathogenic variants in the genes NADSYN1, HAAO, and KYNU. These disorders overlap with the anomalies present in vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, radial and renal, and limb anomalies (VATER/VACTERL) association and often result in premature death. Children who survive typically have developmental delays or intellectual disability. Here, we describe two patients with compound heterozygous variants in NADSYN1 who presented with cardiac and vertebral defects overlapping with the VATER/VACTERL association, although the patients did not satisfy criteria for the diagnosis of VATER/VACTERL due to their lack of limb anomalies and significant renal anomalies. One patient survived into childhood with developmental delays and may represent an expansion of the survival data for NADSYN1-associated NAD deficiency disorders. Interestingly, one patient had hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and one had an aortic coarctation and transverse hypoplasia of the aortic arch, suggesting that NADSYN1 sequencing should be performed in children presenting with congenital anomalies related to VATER/VACTERL association and with HLHS and aortic arch abnormalities.

    Abstract Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) and generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) are subtypes of complex lymphatic malformations (CLMs) with osseous involvement that cause significant complications, including pain and pathologic fractures. As with other vascular anomalies, somatic mosaic mutations in oncogenes are often present, and the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus alleviates symptoms in some, but not all, patients. We describe two patients, one with GSD and one with GLA, found to have EML4::ALK fusions. This report of a targetable, oncogenic fusion in vascular malformations expands our understanding of the genetic basis for CLMs and suggests additional targeted therapies could be effective.

    Abstract It has been suggested that diagnostic yield (DY) from Exome Sequencing (ES) may be lower among patients with non-European ancestries than those with European ancestry. We examined the association of DY with estimated continental/subcontinental genetic ancestry in a racially/ethnically diverse pediatric and prenatal clinical cohort. Cases (N = 845) with suspected genetic disorders underwent ES for diagnosis. Continental/subcontinental genetic ancestry proportions were estimated from the ES data. We compared the distribution of genetic ancestries in positive, negative, and inconclusive cases by Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests and linear associations of ancestry with DY by Cochran-Armitage trend tests. We observed no reduction in overall DY associated with any genetic ancestry (African, Native American, East Asian, European, Middle Eastern, South Asian). However, we observed a relative increase in proportion of autosomal recessive homozygous inheritance versus other inheritance patterns associated with Middle Eastern and South Asian ancestry, due to consanguinity. In this empirical study of ES for undiagnosed pediatric and prenatal genetic conditions, genetic ancestry was not associated with the likelihood of a positive diagnosis, supporting the equitable use of ES in diagnosis of previously undiagnosed but potentially Mendelian disorders across all ancestral populations.

    Abstract Objective: Exome sequencing (ES) offers the ability to assess for variants in thousands of genes and is particularly useful in the setting of fetal anomalies. However, the ES pipeline relies on a thorough understanding of an individual patient's phenotype, which may be limited in the prenatal setting. Additional pathology evaluations in the pre- and postnatal settings can add phenotypic details important for clearly establishing and characterizing a diagnosis.
    Methods: This is a case series of prenatal ES performed at our institution in which pathology evaluations, including autopsy, dysmorphology examination, histology, and peripheral blood smear, augmented the understanding of the fetal phenotype. ES was performed at our institution and a multidisciplinary panel reviewed and classified the variants for each case.
    Results: We present four cases wherein pathology evaluations were beneficial for supporting a perinatal diagnosis identified with ES. In each of these cases, pathology findings provided additional data to support a more complete understanding of the relationship between the perinatal phenotype and variants identified with ES.
    Conclusion: These cases highlight challenges of perinatal ES related to incomplete prenatal phenotyping, demonstrate the utility of pathology evaluations to support diagnoses identified with ES, and further characterize the disease manifestations of specific genetic variants.
