Abstract

Advances in genomics have facilitated the discovery of monogenic disorders in patients with unique gastro-intestinal phenotypes. Syndromic diarrhea, also called tricho-hepato-enteric (THE) syndrome, results from deleterious mutations in SKIV2L or TTC37 genes. The main features of this disorder are intractable diarrhea, abnormal hair, facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency and liver disease. To report on a patient with THE syndrome and present the genetic analysis that facilitated diagnosis. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a 4-month-old female with history of congenital diarrhea and severe failure to thrive but without hair anomalies or dysmorphism. Since the parents were first-degree cousins, the analysis focused on an autosomal recessive model. Sanger sequencing was used to validate suspected variants. Mutated protein structure was modeled to assess the effect of the mutation on protein function. We identified an autosomal recessive C.1891G > A missense mutation (NM_006929) in SKIV2L gene that was previously described only in a compound heterozygous state as causing THE syndrome. The mutation was determined to be deleterious in multiple prediction models. Protein modeling suggested that the mutation has the potenti...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Body dysmorphic disorder is an intense preoccupation with an imagined defect in ones physical appearance. It can be a severely impairing disorder and is common among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Discover the latest research on body dysmorphic disorder here.
