Background and Aims: Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a life-threatening condition. In Europe, the main causes are viral infections (12%–16%) inherited metabolic diseases (14%–28%). Yet, in up to 50% of cases underlying etiology remains elusive, challenging clinical management, including transplantation. We systematically studied indeterminate PALF referred for genetic evaluation by whole-exome sequencing (WES), analyzed phenotypic biochemical markers, diagnostic yield WES this...
Marfan syndrome (OMIM #154700) is an autosomal dominantly inherited connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene and marked significant clinical variability, including cardiovascular manifestations. The causes of this variability remain inadequately studied, relatively few genotype-phenotype correlations have been identified to date. In study, we examined 66 children with identify correlations. Biochemical, functional, genetic research methods were employed, confirming a...
Wilson's disease (WD) (synonyms: Wilson–Konovalov disease, hepatolenticular degeneration, hepatocerebral dystrophy) is a rare, severe, hereditary multisystem disorder that manifests itself primarily in liver, neurological, and psychiatric disorders due to excessive copper deposition organs tissues.

This study is aimed at investigating the clinical and genetic characteristics of 244 unrelated probands diagnosed with multiple osteochondromas (MO). The diagnosis MO typically involves identifying benign bone tumors known as (OCs) through imaging studies physical examinations. However, cases both OCs enchondromas (ECs) may indicate more rare condition metachondromatosis (MC), which assumed to be distinct disease. Previous cohort found heterozygous loss-of-function (LoF) variants only in...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by mutations in various genes, including the LDLR, APOB and PSCK9 genes; however, spectrum of these Russian individuals has not been fully investigated. In present study, mutation screening was performed on LDLR gene other FH-associated genes patients with definite or possible FH, using next-generation sequencing. total, 59 unrelated were recruited sorted into two separate groups depending their age: Adult (n=31; median age, 49; age range, 23-70)...
Intellectual development disorder (IDD) is characterized by a general deficit in intellectual and adaptive functioning. In recent years, there has been growing interest studying the genetic structure of IDD. Of particular difficulty are patients with non-specific IDD, for whom it impossible to establish clinical diagnosis without complex diagnostics. We examined 198 IDD from 171 families using whole-exome sequencing chromosome microarray analysis. Hereditary forms account at least 35.7%...
The congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIs (ATP6AP1-CDG; OMIM# 300972) is a rare X-linked recessive complex syndrome characterized by liver dysfunction, recurrent bacterial infections, hypogammaglobulinemia, and defective serum proteins. Here, we examine the case 1-year-old male patient Buryat origin, who presented with dysfunction. At age 3 months, he was hospitalized jaundice hepatosplenomegaly. Whole-exome sequencing identified ATP6AP1 gene missense variant NM_001183.6:c.938A>G...
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem condition characterized by cholestasis and bile duct paucity on liver biopsy variable involvement of the heart, skeleton, eyes, kidneys, face caused pathogenic variants in JAG1 or NOTCH2 gene. The expressivity clinical phenotype lack genotype-phenotype correlations lead to significant diagnostic difficulties. Here we present an analysis 18 patients with who were diagnosed ALGS. We used NGS panel targeting coding exons 52 genes, including genes....
Here, we report a novel truncating mutation in the ubiquitin-specific peptidase gene (USP53) causing low-γ-GT (GGT) cholestasis. Genetic testing was carried out, including clinical exome sequencing for proband and Sanger his parents. The harbored c.1017_1057del (p.(Cys339TrpfsTer7)) ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) domain of USP53; describe laboratory features patient with rare type low-GGT cholestasis caused by this variant. presentation found to be similar that phenotypes...
Abstract A young boy with multifocal epilepsy infantile spasms and hypsarrhythmia minimal organic lesions of brain structures underwent DNA diagnosis using whole‐exome sequencing. heterozygous amino‐acid substitution p.L519R in a PHACTR1 gene was identified. belongs to protein family G‐actin binding phosphatase 1 (PP1) cofactors not previously associated human disease. The missense single nucleotide variant the proband shown occur de novo paternal allele. mutation vitro reduce affinity for...
Background: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is one of the most common forms lipid metabolism disorders. The leading clinical manifestations are pancreatitis, atherosclerotic vascular lesions, and formation eruptive xanthomas. severe type HTG primary (or hereditary) hypertriglyceridemia, linked to pathogenic genetic variants in LPL, APOC2, LMF1, APOA5 genes. Case: We present a case hypertriglyceridemia (TG level > 55 mmol/L 4-year-old boy) consanguineous family. disease developed due previously...
One of the most common neurological symptoms in children first year life is seizures, etiology which manifold. Investigations recent years have shown that a significant number infantile seizures are hereditary nature. The review identifies main groups diseases and syndromes, whose symptom complex convulsions observed, outlines features their clinical manifestations methods diagnosis.
