Limited genotype-phenotype correlation in FOXP3 gene within same family member

Sharaf Muna , Alaaraj Nada , Shurrab Shaymaa , Zangen David

Introduction: FOXP3 protein is crucial in enabling T-regulatory cells to maintain tolerance to self-antigens. Mutations in human Foxp3 gene are associated with immune diseases, such as multi-organ autoimmune disorder, immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy and X-linked syndrome (IPEX).Case Presentation: A 15 months old male, presented initially at 2 weeks of age with failure to thrive hyperglycemia and sev...

The N309K Pro-Protein Convertase Type 1 (PCSK1) Gene Mutation Causes Lack of Spontaneous Puberty and Primary Amenorrhea

Abdulhag Ulla Najwa , Sharaf Mona , Libdeh Abdulsalam Abu , Zangen David

Introduction: PCSK1/3 gene mutations are known as a cause for congenital diarrhea and various endocrinopathies. Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and aberrant pubertal development due to pro-convertase dysfunction was not characterized yet. This study aimed to characterize the pubertal development in a family carrying the novel N309K mutation in the PCSK1 gene.Methods and Results: We Identified 2 siblings who presented with severe congenital diarrhea follow...

The unique methylation pattern of a rare Bilateral para-overian Adrenal Rest Tumor in a girl with severe virilization and Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase mutation

Cahn Ranit , Berman Ben , Bauman Dvorah , Mendelson Espen , Abulibdeh Abdulsalam , Florsheim Natan , Zangen David

Background: Patients with NNT (Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase) gene mutations, a rare cause of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiency. Adrenal Rest Tumor (ART) in females, reported so far only in noncompliant patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and elevated ACTH levels, is very rare (<20 cases world-wide). This study characterizes the pathophysiology, the molecular ontogeny and methylation analysis of a unique ART in a female wit...

Primary Ovarian Failure as a Result of Homozygous Mutations in MCM10 Gene

Landau Zohar , Florsheim Natan , Simon Itamar , Kramer Joyce , Renbaum Pinchas , Levy-Lahad Efrat , Zangen David

Background: Primary ovarian failure is (POF) characterised by primary amenorrhoea or early menopause in females. Minichromosome maintenance 10 (MCM10) is a gene involved in DNA damage repair, DNA replication and chromatin formation has received attention as a potential genetic etiology for neoplastic disease. Drosophila with mutated MCM10 have subfertility and dysfunction in female germline development. In humans, biallelic mutations of the MCM10 causes NK cel...

A novel mutation in the BMP15 gene in a Palestinian family with primary amenorrhea revealing molecular genetics of premature ovarian insufficiency

Abu-Libdeh Abdulsalam , Floresheim Natan , Renbaum Pinchas , Levy-Lahad Ephrat , Zangen David

Background: Severe XX-DSD and ovarian dysgenesis (OD) are the extreme clinical phenotype of approximately 1% of women that are affected by primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). BMP15 and GDF9 are two members of transforming growth factor ß (TGF-β) superfamily; they share an oocyte-specific expression pattern and play a crucial role in early folliculogenesis. Only XX cases of mutations in BMP15 have been proved to cause human disease. Here we describe...

A Novel Genetic Aetiology for Familial Neonatal Central Diabetes Insipidus

lavi Eran , Sharaf Muna , Abu-Libdeh Abdulsalam , Renbaum Pinchas , Levy-Lahad Ephrat , Zangen David

Background: Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in the neonatal age is usually a result of intracranial insult, either congenital or acquired. Familial CDI is usually an autosomal dominant disorder, presenting later in childhood (1-6 y) with polyuria and mostly caused by mutations in the Neurophysin II moiety of the AVP-NPII prohormone gene; these interfere with prohormone processing leading to gradual destruction of AVP secreting cells and result in arginine vas...

The Founder Homozygous NR5A1 Gene Mutation p.R103Q Causes Asplenia and Severe XY-DSD and XX-DSD in a Palestinian Cohort

Abdulhadi-Atwan Maha , Hidesh Guy , Abulibdeh Abdulsalam , Hirsch Harry , Klopstock Tehila , Levy-Lahad Ephrat , Zangen David

Background: Mutations in Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1; also known as NR5A1), a transcription factor involved in sexual differentiation, steroidogenesis and reproduction, have been associated with mild to severe XY and XX DSDs and adrenal failure. Asplenia and complete XY sex reversal were recently reported in a Palestinian patient homozygous for p.R103Q NR5A1 mutation.Clinical Cases: Five Pales...

The Novel R211Q POP1 Homozygous Mutation Causes Severe Short Stature But Uniquely Only Subtle Skeletal Dysplasia

Abdulhadi-Atwan Maha , Klopshtock Tehila , Sharaf Muna , Weinberg-Shokrun Ariella , Levy-Lahad Ephrat , Zangen David

Background: Processing of Precursor 1 (POP1) is a core protein component of the Ribonuclease-Mitochondrial RNA Processing (RNase-MRP) enzymatic complex, an essential complex in all eukaryotes. Mutations in RMRP, encoding the RNA moiety of the complex cause cartilage-hair hypoplasia – anauxetic dysplasia (CHH-AD) spectrum disorders, characterized by severe disproportionate short stature. Recently, five patients harboring mutations in POP1 have been report...

Neonatal Diabetes due to NKX2.2 Mutation – Genotype, Clinical Phenotype and Therapeutic Challenges in a Very Low Birth Weight Diabetic Neonate

Auerbach Adi , Shlomai Noa Ofek , Shokrun Ariella Weinberg , Levy-Lahad Ephrat , Zangen David

Background: Insulin treatment in a very low birth weight neonate having persistent hyperglycemia is challenging. The very recently reported novel human genetic cause of neonatal diabetes due to NKX2.2 pancreatic transcription factor mutations is associated with very low birth weight deliveries.Objective and hypotheses: To study the diagnostic process, the molecular genetics, the clinical phenotype, and the significant therapeutic challenges in the manage...

Background: Classical and non-classical congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) are extremely rare condition caused by mutations in StAR. The degree of enzyme activity impairment determines the clinical phenotypes.Objective and hypotheses: To identify the genetic cause of primary adrenal insufficiency in a cohort of patients from 13 unrelated families with classical and non-classical CLAH, to correlate genotype to phenotype and to identify ...
