    Novel, homozygous RAB3GAP1 c.2606 + 1G>A, p.Glu830ValfsTer9 variant and chromosome 3q29 duplication in a Turkish individual with Warburg micro syndrome
    (2023-04-01) ALAVANDA, CEREN; SÖYLEMEZ, MEHMET ALİ; ARMAN, AHMET; Geckinli B., TÜRKYILMAZ A., ALAVANDA C., Sager G., Arslan Ates E., SÖYLEMEZ M. A., ARMAN A.
    Warburg micro syndrome (WARBM) is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by microcephaly, cortical dysplasia, corpus callosum hypoplasia, congenital hypotonia leading to subsequent spastic quadriplegia, severe developmental delay and hypogenitalism. Ophthalmologic findings that may affect any ocular segment including characteristic, small, atonic pupils. WARBM is known to be caused by biallelic, pathogenic variants in at least five genes although additional genetic loci may exist. The RAB3GAP1 c.748 + 1G>A, p.Asp250CysfsTer24 founder variant has been described in families of Turkish ancestry. We report the clinical and molecular findings in three, unrelated, Turkish families with WARBM. A novel c.974-2A>G variant causing WARBM in three siblings of Turkish descent was found. Functional studies of the novel, c.2606 + 1G>A variant in patients\" mRNA revealed skipping of exon 22 which results in a premature stop codon in exon 23. However, the clinical consequences of this variant are blended given that the individual also had a maternally inherited chromosome 3q29 microduplication.

    First patient diagnosed as feingold syndrome type 2 with alport syndrome and review of the current literature
    (2022-12-01) ARMAN, AHMET; ATA, PINAR; SÖYLEMEZ, MEHMET ALİ; Demir S., SÖYLEMEZ M. A., ARMAN A., ATA P.
    Introduction: Feingold syndrome type 2 (FGLDS2) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, microcephaly, digital abnormalities, and intellectual disability. Until now, 22 patients have been reported in the literature. FGLDS2 is caused by a germline heterozygous deletion of 13q resulting in haploinsufficiency of the MIR17HG gene. Case report: In the present study, we evaluated clinical, radiological, and genetic analyses of a 10-year-old Turkish-origin girl with short stature, brachydactyly, intellectual disability, hematuria, and proteinuria. Conclusion/Discussion: In the array-CGH analysis, a 15.7-Mb deletion, arr[hg19] 13q22q31.3(78,241,132_93,967,288)x1, was detected, and this alteration was evaluated to be pathogenic. The deletion of this region covering the MIR17HG gene is a potential cause of FGLDS2. Also, at her clinical exome sequencing study, a heterozygous c.2023G>A p.(Gly675Ser) variation was detected in the COL4A5 gene (NM_000495.4) that was likely pathogenic in up-to-date databases. As a result, we report on a patient who has FGLDS2 and Alport syndrome. This is the first report of a Turkish-origin FGLDS2 patient. Reporting new cases expands the range of phenotypes, plays a crucial role in understanding the FGLDS2 pathogenesis, and is important in terms of screening at-risk family members for giving appropriate genetic counseling and preimplantation genetic diagnosis opportunities.
