OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child featuring Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS). METHODS: Clinical manifestations and results of auxiliary examination of the proband were analyzed. The proband was subjected to whole exome sequencing, and the results were verified by Sanger sequencing. Correlation between the genotype and clinical phenotype was analyzed. RESULTS: The proband showed partial skin albinism, recurrent respiratory infection and other immune deficiencies. Genetic testing showed that he has harbored c.2437C>T (p.Arg813*) and c.6077dupA (p.Tyr2026fs) (NM_000081) compound heterozygous variants of the LYST gene, for which his parents were both carriers. Neither variant was reported previously. HEAT repeats domain was frequently associated with more severe phenotype of CHS (81.6%), whilst no variant has been found in the PH_BEACH domain. CONCLUSION This study has enriched the spectrum of LYST gene variants associated with CHS and enabled clinical diagnosis, prenatal diagnosis and prognostic evaluation for the child.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the spectrum of pathological genetic variants among 405 Chinese pedigrees affected with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). METHODS: A total of 405 OCA patients were collected. High-throughput sequencing (The panel included TYR, OCA2, TYRP1 and SLC45A2 genes), Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were used to analyze the genetic variants and patterns of each subtype. RESULTS: The overall detection rate of genetic variants was 79.9% (647/810), and the variants included missense variants (57.3%, 371/647), frameshift variants (22.9%, 148/647), nonsense variants (13.9%, 90/647), splicing variants (5.6%, 36/647), and microdeletions (0.3%, 2/647). Thirty-six novel variants were detected. Of the 405 patients, 306 have carried 2 variant alleles (75.6%, 306/405), 35 carried 1 variant alleles (8.6%, 35/405), while no variant was detected in 64 patients. Among the 306 genetically diagnosed OCA patients, OCA1 was the most common form (74.5%, 228/306), compared with OCA2 (15.0%, 46/306), OCA3 (0.7%, 2/306) and OCA4 (9.8%, 30/306), respectively. One patient was found to harbor homozygous c.1262-4_c.1262-3insTAGA variant of the TYRP1 gene. Another patient was found to carry compound heterozygous variants of c.1214C>A (p.T405N) and c.1338delinsCG(p.V447Gfs*19) of the TYRP1 gene. CONCLUSION High-throughput sequencing in combination with Sanger sequencing and MLPA can effectively detect genetic variants associated with OCA. Above finding has expanded variant spectrum of OCA, which can facilitate genetic and prenatal diagnosis of this disease in China.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the dynamic variant and clinical subtype of a pedigree affected with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) by using fluorescent-labeled primer combined with capillary electrophoresis. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from 8 members including 6 patients and 2 healthy individuals from the pedigree. Six pairs of fluorescent-labeled primers were designed to screen pathological variants in association with common subtypes of SCA including SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA12 and SCA17.The PCR products were detected by capillary electrophoresis. RESULTS: The number of CAG repeats in the SCA3 gene of the proband were determined as 8 and 70, exceeded the normal range(12 to 40), which suggested a diagnosis of SCA3. The other five patients were all detected with abnormal CAG repeats in the SCA3 gene, while the two healthy individuals were determined to be within the normal range. CONCLUSION The abnormal expansion of CAG repeats in the SCA3 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of the disease in this pedigree. Combined fluorescent-labeled primers PCR and capillary electrophoresis can detect dynamic variants among SCA patients with efficiency and accuracy.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a Chinese pedigree affected with infantile hepatitis syndrome. METHODS: Genes associated with liver diseases subjected to high-throughput sequencing. Candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing of the proband and his parents. The pathogenicity of the variants was analyzed through bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS: High-throughput sequencing revealed that the proband has harbored c.182T>C (p.F61S) and c.293C>T (p.P98L) variants of the MPV17 gene, which were verified by Sanger sequencing to be inherited from his parents. The variant c.182T>C (p.F61S) was unreported previously and predicted to be likely pathogenic by bioinformatic analysis. CONCLUSION The proband was caused by the compound heterozygous variations of MPV17 gene including c.182T>C (p.F61S) and c.293C>T (p.P98L). Discovery of the novel variant has enriched the spectrum of pathogenic variants of the MPV17 gene.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology for a Chinese pedigree affected with Meckel syndrome. METHODS: A pedigree with a history of three consecutive adverse pregnancies which presented at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on August 31, 2017 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the pedigree were collected. High-throughput sequencing was carried out to screen for variants of ciliopathy-related genes in the third fetus following induced abortion, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The first pregnancy of the couple had ended as spontaneous abortion, whilst the fetus of the second pregnancy was suspected for having ciliopathy, though no genetic testing was carried out following elected abortion. The fetus of the third pregnancy was suspected for having ciliopathy, and high-throughput sequencing and Sanger sequencing had shown that the fetus had harbored compound heterozygous variants of the TMEM67 gene, including c.978+1G>A from the father and c.1288G>C (p.D430H) from the mother. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the c.978+1G>A was classified as a pathogenic variant (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP5), whilst the newly discovered c.1288G>C (p.D430H) was classified as a likely pathogenic variant (PM2_Supporting+PM3+PM5+PP3). CONCLUSION The c.978+1G>A and c.1288G>C (p.D430H) compound heterozygous variants of the TMEM67 gene probably underlay the three consecutive adverse pregnancies suspected for ciliopathy in this pedigree. The discovery of c.1288G>C (p.D430H) has also expanded the mutational spectrum of the TMEM67 gene.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPSII). METHODS: The IDS gene of the proband and his mother was detected by Sanger sequencing, agarose gel electrophoresis, real-time PCR and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Prenatal diagnosis was performed on amniotic fluid sample. RESULTS: Agarose gel electrophoresis, real-time PCR, and MLPA all showed that exon 2 of IDS gene of the proband was deleted, for which his mother was normal. Prenatal diagnosis showed that the fetus was a normal male. CONCLUSION The de novo deletion of exon 2 of the IDS gene probably underlay the MPSII in this patient. Above finding has broadened the mutation spectrum of the IDS gene. The combined methods for the detection of IDS gene mutations could make accurate prenatal diagnosis for MPSII.
