Abstract
The GPAT4 gene is considered as a potential functional candidate for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies in dairy cattle breeding due to its association with dairy performance in cattle by encoding an enzyme responsible for the presence of diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols in milk. Using the example of the GPAT4 gene, we applied the minigene splicing assay to analyze the functional consequences of its variant that was predicted to affect normal splicing. The results of functional analysis revealed the sequence variations (rs442541537), transfection experiments in a wild type and mutant cell line model system demonstrated that the investigated mutation in the second intron of the GPAT4 gene was responsible for the presence of a second exon in mature messenger RNA (mRNA). The cases of its absence in the spliced mature mRNA transcript resulted in a truncated dysfunctional protein due to the appearance of a stop codon. Thus, the discovered SNP led to alternative splicing in pre-mRNA by the 'cassette exon' ('exon skipping') mechanism. The studied mutation can potentially be a molecular genetic marker for alternative splicing for the GPAT4 gene and, therefore contributes to economic benefits in cattle breeding programs.

Abstract
De novo heterozygous missense mutations in EEF1A2, encoding neuromuscular translation-elongation factor eEF1A2, are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. We used CRISPR/Cas9 to recapitulate the most common mutation, E122K, in mice. Although E122K heterozygotes were not observed to have convulsive seizures, they exhibited frequent electrographic seizures and EEG abnormalities, transient early motor deficits and growth defects. Both E122K homozygotes and Eef1a2-null mice developed progressive motor abnormalities, with E122K homozygotes reaching humane endpoints by P31. The null phenotype is driven by progressive spinal neurodegeneration; however, no signs of neurodegeneration were observed in E122K homozygotes. The E122K protein was relatively stable in neurons yet highly unstable in skeletal myocytes, suggesting that the E122K/E122K phenotype is instead driven by loss of function in muscle. Nevertheless, motor abnormalities emerged far earlier in E122K homozygotes than in nulls, suggesting a toxic gain of function and/or a possible dominant-negative effect. This mouse model represents the first animal model of an EEF1A2 missense mutation with face-valid phenotypes and has provided mechanistic insights needed to inform rational treatment design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impaired neurological functions, cachectic dwarfism, microcephaly and photosensitivity. Complementation assays identify two groups of this disorder, CS type I (CSA) and CS type II (CSB), caused by mutations in ERCC8 and ERCC6, respectively. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of a consanguineous Pakistani family with three affected individuals presenting with typical clinical symptoms of CS. METHODS We employed whole exome sequencing of the proband and then Sanger sequenced all the family members to confirm its segregation in the family. Different bioinformatics tools were used to predict pathogenicity of this variant. RESULTS Variants were filtered according to the pedigree structure. We identified a novel homozygous variant (c.202A>T; p.Ile68Phe) in ERCC8 gene in the proband. The variant was found to segregate in the family. CONCLUSIONS These findings add to the genetic heterogeneity of ERCC8 and expands the mutation spectrum. Also, identification of this variant can facilitate prenatal diagnosis/genetic counselling set ups in Pakistan where this disease largely remains undiagnosed.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel couples beta cell electrical activity to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Loss-of-function mutations in either the pore-forming (inwardly rectifying potassium channel 6.2 [Kir6.2], encoded by KCNJ11) or regulatory (sulfonylurea receptor 1, encoded by ABCC8) subunits result in congenital hyperinsulinism, whereas gain-of-function mutations cause neonatal diabetes. Here, we report a novel loss-of-function mutation (Ser118Leu) in the pore helix of Kir6.2 paradoxically associated with sulfonylurea-sensitive diabetes that presents in early adult life. METHODS A 31-year-old woman was diagnosed with mild hyperglycaemia during an employee screen. After three pregnancies, during which she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, the patient continued to show elevated blood glucose and was treated with glibenclamide (known as glyburide in the USA and Canada) and metformin. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous mutation (S118L) in the KCNJ11 gene. Neither parent was known to have diabetes. We investigated the functional properties and membrane trafficking of mutant and wild-type KATP channels in Xenopus oocytes and in HEK-293T cells, using patch-clamp, two-electrode voltage-clamp and surface expression assays. RESULTS Functional analysis showed no changes in the ATP sensitivity or metabolic regulation of the mutant channel. However, the Kir6.2-S118L mutation impaired surface expression of the KATP channel by 40%, categorising this as a loss-of-function mutation. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our data support the increasing evidence that individuals with mild loss-of-function KATP channel mutations may develop insulin deficiency in early adulthood and even frank diabetes in middle age. In this case, the patient may have had hyperinsulinism that escaped detection in early life. Our results support the importance of functional analysis of KATP channel mutations in cases of atypical diabetes.

Abstract
Mg2+ is a vital ion involved in diverse cellular functions by forming complexes with ATP. Intracellular Mg2+ levels are tightly regulated by the coordinated actions of multiple Mg2+ transporters, such as the Mg2+ efflux transporter, cyclin M (CNNM). Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worms with mutations in both cnnm-1 and cnnm-3 exhibit excessive Mg2+ accumulation in intestinal cells, leading to various phenotypic abnormalities. In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the reduction in body size in cnnm-1; cnnm-3 mutant worms. RNA interference (RNAi) of gtl-1, which encodes a Mg2+-intake channel in intestinal cells, restored the worm body size, confirming that this phenotype is due to excessive Mg2+ accumulation. Moreover, RNAi experiments targeting body size-related genes and analyses of mutant worms revealed that the suppression of the target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2) signaling pathway was involved in body size reduction, resulting in downregulated DAF-7 expression in head ASI neurons. As the DAF-7 signaling pathway suppresses dauer formation under stress, cnnm-1; cnnm-3 mutant worms exhibited a greater tendency to form dauer upon induction. Collectively, our results revealed that excessive accumulation of Mg2+ repressed the TORC2 signaling pathway in C. elegans worms and suggest the novel role of the DAF-7 signaling pathway in the regulation of their body size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variants in Filamin-C (FLNC) have been associated with various hereditary cardiomyopathies. Recent literature reports a prevalence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) of 13-25% among carriers of truncating-variants, with mean age of 42±15 years for first SCD event. This study reports two familial cases of SCD and the results of cascade screening of their large family. METHODS Molecular-autopsy of the SCD victims revealed a novel truncating-variant in the FLNC gene (chr 7:128496880 [hg19]; NM_001458.5; c.7467_7474del; p.(Ser2490fs)). We screened thirty-two family members following genetic counseling, and variant carriers underwent a comprehensive workup followed by consultation with a cardiologist with expertise in the genetics of cardiac diseases. RESULTS Seventeen variant carriers were identified: ages between 9 and 85 (mean 47±26). Fifteen underwent clinical evaluation. To date, none of the identified carriers has had major adverse events. In evaluated patients, ECG showed right-axis deviation in 60% (n = 9). Holter recorded frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) (991±2030 per 24 h) in 33% (n = 5) with 4 patients having polymorphic PVC morphology. Three carriers had echocardiographic evidence of mild left-ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and another with mild LV dilatation. Cardiac magnetic-resonance (CMR) exhibited late‑gadolinium-enhancement in 10 out of 11 exams, mainly in the mid-myocardium and sub-epicardium, frequently involving the septum and the inferior-lateral wall. CONCLUSION This large FLNC truncating variant carrier family exhibits high cardiomyopathy penetrance, best diagnosed by CMR, with variable clinical expressions. These findings present a challenge in SCD prevention management and underscoring the imperative for better risk stratification measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Germline truncating variants in the DRP2 gene (encoding dystrophin-related protein 2) cause the disruption of the periaxin-DRP2-dystroglycan complex and have been linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. However, the causality and the underlying phenotype of the genetic alterations are not clearly defined. METHODS This cross-sectional retrospective observational study includes 9 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) with DRP2 germline variants evaluated at 6 centers throughout Spain. RESULTS We identified 7 Spanish families with 4 different DRP2 likely pathogenic germline variants. In agreement with an X-linked inheritance, men harboring hemizygous DRP2 variants presented with an intermediate form of CMT, whereas heterozygous women were asymptomatic. Symptom onset was variable (36.6 ± 16 years), with lower limb weakness and multimodal sensory loss producing a mild-to-moderate functional impairment. Nerve echography revealed an increase in the cross-sectional area of nerve roots and proximal nerves. Lower limb muscle magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a length-dependent fatty infiltration. Immunostaining in intradermal nerve fibers demonstrated the absence of DRP2 and electron microscopy revealed abnormal myelin thickness that was also detectable in the sural nerve sections. DISCUSSION Our findings support the causality of DRP2 pathogenic germline variants in CMT and further define the phenotype as a late-onset sensory and motor length-dependent neuropathy, with intermediate velocities and thickening of proximal nerve segments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIMS Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) calpain 3-related usually presents as a recessively transmitted weakness of proximal limb-girdle muscles due to pathogenic variants in the CAPN3 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have also been found in patients with an autosomal dominantly inherited transmission pattern (LGMDD4). The mechanism underlying this difference in transmission patterns has not yet been elucidated. Camptocormia, progressive limb weakness, myalgia, back pain, and increased CK levels are common clinical features associated with dominant forms. The p.Lys254del pathogenic variant was associated with camptocormia in two LGMDD4 families. This study aimed to present carriers found in recessively transmitted LGMDR1 families bearing the p.Lys254del variant that do not show muscle weakness. METHODS DNA sequencing was performed on exon 5 of CAPN3 in family members to establish the carrier status of the pathogenic variant. They were evaluated clinically and MRI was performed when available. RESULTS Two families presented with the p.Lys254del pathogenic variant in a homozygous or compound heterozygous state. Family members carrying only the pathogenic variant in the heterozygous state did not demonstrate the myopathic characteristics described in dominant patients. Camptocormia and other severe clinical symptoms were not observed. DISCUSSION We conclude that the p.Lys254del pathogenic variant per se cannot be solely responsible for camptocormia in dominant patients. Other undisclosed factors may regulate the phenotype associated with the dominant inheritance pattern in CAPN3 pathogenic variant carriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies for humans. The treatment options for advanced-stage liver cancer remain limited. A new treatment is urgently needed to reduce the mortality of the disease. METHODS In this report, we developed a technology for mutation site insertion of a suicide gene (herpes simplex virus type 1- thymidine kinase) based on type II CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9-mediated genome editing to treat liver cancers. RESULTS We applied the strategy to 3 different mutations: S45P mutation of catenin beta 1, chromosome breakpoint of solute carrier family 45 member 2-alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase gene fusion, and V235G mutation of SAFB-like transcription modulator. The results showed that the herpes simplex virus type 1-thymidine kinase insertion rate at the S45P mutation site of catenin beta 1 reached 77.8%, while the insertion rates at the breakpoint of solute carrier family 45 member 2 - alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase gene fusion were 95.1%-98.7%, and the insertion at V235G of SAFB-like transcription modulator was 51.4%. When these targeting reagents were applied to treat mouse spontaneous liver cancer induced by catenin beta 1S45P or solute carrier family 45 member 2-alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase, the mice experienced reduced tumor burden and increased survival rate. Similar results were also obtained for the xenografted liver cancer model: Significant reduction of tumor volume, reduction of metastasis rate, and improved survival were found in mice treated with the targeting reagent, in comparison with the control-treated groups. CONCLUSIONS Our studies suggested that mutation targeting may hold promise as a versatile and effective approach to treating liver cancers.

Abstract
Argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) is a rare inherited metabolic disease caused by argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency. Patients with ASA present with hyperammonaemia due to an impaired urea cycle pathway in the liver, and systemic disease with epileptic encephalopathy, chronic liver disease, and arterial hypertension. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the fibroblasts of a patient with ASA with homozygous pathogenic c.437G > A mutation of hASL was generated. Characterization of the cell line demonstrated pluripotency, differentiation potential and normal karyotype. This cell line, called UCLi024-A, can be utilized for in vitro disease modelling of ASA, and design of novel therapeutics.

Abstract
NAD(P)HX dehydratase (NAXD) gene is one of the key enzymes encoding the nicotinamide nucleotide repair system, reportedly associated with Encephalopathy, progressive, early-onset, with brain edema and/or leukoencephalopathy, 2 (PEBEL2). Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) of a PEBEL2 patient who carried biallelic mutations, c.101_102delTA(p.Thr35Phefs*63) and c.318C > G (p.Ile160Met) in NAXD. These iPSCs showed stable amplification in vitro, expressed pluripotent markers, and differentiated spontaneously into three germ layers, as well as NAXD mutations with normal karyotype.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder with or without hyperkinetic movements and seizures (NDHMSD) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by neurodevelopmental disorder and hyperkinetic movement, with or without seizures. Heterozygous mutation in the GRIN1 encoding the subunit 1 of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor caused this disorder. We first established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a male patient with c.389A > G mutation in the GRIN1, via reprogramming with KLF4, SOX2, OCT3/4, and c-MYC. Through identification examination, the iPSCs (GWCMCi006-A) stably expressed pluripotency-associated stem cell markers, maintained a normal karyotype, and showed proliferative potential for three-germ layers differentiation.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma is a pediatric intraocular cancer caused by biallelic inactivation of RB1 gene in retinal progenitor cells. Here, we report the generation of a patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (LVPEIi002-A) from a patient diagnosed with retinoblastoma and showing familial inheritance of a nonsense mutation (c.1735C > T) within exon 18 of one of the two alleles. This RB1+/- iPSC line, LVPEIi002-A was generated by reprogramming the peri-orbital fat tissue derived mesenchymal cells and was stably expanded and characterized. It maintains the stemness, pluripotency, normal karyotype, and forms embryoid bodies comprising of all three lineage committed progenitor cells.

Abstract
Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscular dystrophy that is often associated with cardiac disease. This disease is caused by mutations in several genes, among them DES (encoding desmin) is the most frequently affected. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 5 different MFM patients with different DES mutations were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) using non-integrative vectors. For each patient, one IPSC clone was selected and demonstrated pluripotency hallmarks without genomic abnormalities. SNP profiles were identical to the cells of origin and all the clones have the capacity to differentiate into all three germ layers.

Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorder with spastic diplegia and visual defects (NEDSDV, #615075), a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by heterozygous mutation in the CTNNB1 gene, is characterized by global developmental delay, impaired intellectual development, axial hypotonia, and dysmorphic craniofacial features with microcephaly. Here, we established an iPSC line (SDQLCHi055-A) from a patient with NEDSDV carrying a heterozygote mutation (c.854 T > A, p.L285*) in the CTNNB1 gene. The iPSC line has typical iPSCs characteristics, including pluripotency and trilineage differentiation hallmarks.

Abstract
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, which affects cardiac systolic function. We successfully established human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 24-year-old male with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). The patient-derived hiPSCs carried heterozygous mutation of CRYAB gene (c.326A > G, p.D109G), which was consistent with clinical whole exon sequencing results. We confirmed the pluripotency, multipotential differentiation and karyotype of hiPSCs. The hiPSCs will be useful for studying the pathogenesis of RCM caused by CRYAB (c.326A > G) mutation.

Abstract
Epilepsy affects ∼ 65 million people worldwide. Status epilepticus can lead to life-threatening if untreated. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from a young patient patient bearing a Nitrogen Perntease Regulator Like 2 Protein (NPRL2) mutation and suffering from Epilepsy verified by clinical and genetic diagnosis. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were established by a non-integrative method, using plasmids carrying OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, BCL-XL and C-MYC. The established iPSCs presented typical pluripotent cells morphology, normal karyotype, and potential to differentiate into three germ layers. Our approach offers a useful model to explore pathogenesis and therapy of Epilepsy.

Abstract
Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) gene mutation is common in colorectal cancer (CRC) and is often predictive of treatment failure and poor prognosis. To understand the mechanism, we compared the transcriptome of CRC patients with wild-type and mutant KRAS and found that KRAS mutation is associated with the overexpression of a secreted serine protease, kallikrein-related peptidase 10 (KLK10). Moreover, using in vitro and in vivo models, we found that KLK10 overexpression favors the rapid growth and liver metastasis of KRAS mutant CRC and can also impair the efficacy of KRAS inhibitors, leading to drug resistance and poor survival. Further functional assays revealed that the oncogenic role of KLK10 is mediated by protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1). KLK10 cleaves and activates PAR1, which further activates 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1)-AKT oncogenic pathway. Notably, suppressing PAR1-PDK1-AKT cascade via KLK10 knockdown can effectively inhibit CRC progression and improve the sensitivity to KRAS inhibitor, providing a promising therapeutic strategy. Taken together, our study showed that KLK10 promotes the progression of KRAS mutant CRC via activating PAR1-PDK1-AKT signaling pathway. These findings expanded our knowledge of CRC development, especially in the setting of KRAS mutation, and also provided novel targets for clinical intervention.

Abstract
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular disease that affects the central nervous system, which familial form is due to autosomal dominant mutations in the genes KRIT1(CCM1), MGC4607(CCM2), and PDCD10(CCM3). Patients affected by the PDCD10 mutations usually have the onset of symptoms at an early age and a more aggressive phenotype. The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular mechanism involved with CCM3 disease pathogenesis. Herein, we report two typical cases of CCM3 phenotype and compare the clinical and neuroradiological findings with five patients with a familial form of KRIT1 or CCM2 mutations and six patients with a sporadic form. In addition, we evaluated the PDCD10 gene expression by qPCR and developed a bioinformatic pipeline to understand the structural changes of mutations. The two CCM3 patients had an early onset of symptoms and a high lesion burden. Furthermore, the sequencing showed that Patient 1 had a frameshift mutation in c.222delT; p.(Asn75Thrfs*14) that leads to lacking the last 124 C-terminal amino acids on its primary structure and Patient 2 had a variant on the splicing site region c.475-2A > G. The mRNA expression was fourfold lower in both patients with PDCD10 mutation. Using in silico analysis, we identify that the frameshift mutation transcript lacks the C-terminal FAT-homology domain compared to the wild-type PDCD10 and preserves the N-terminal dimerization domain. The two patients studied here allow estimating the potential impact of mutations in clinical interpretation as well as support to better understand the mechanism and pathogenesis of CCM3.

Abstract
This study investigates genetic mutations and immune cell dynamics in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), focusing on identifying prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Analysis of TCGA-STAD samples revealed C > A as the most common single nucleotide variant (SNV) in both high and low-risk groups. Key mutated driver genes included TTN, TP53 and MUC16, with frame-shift mutations more prevalent in the low-risk group and missense mutations in the high-risk group. Interaction analysis of hub genes such as C1QA and CD68 showed significant correlations, impacting immune cell infiltration patterns. Using ssGSEA, we found higher immune cell infiltration (B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, DC cells, NK cells) in the high-risk group, correlated with increased risk scores. xCell algorithm results indicated distinct immune infiltration levels between the groups. The study's risk scoring model proved effective in prognosis prediction and immunotherapy efficacy assessment. Key molecules like CD28, CD27 and SLAMF7 correlated significantly with risk scores, suggesting potential targets for high-risk STAD patients. Drug sensitivity analysis showed a negative correlation between risk scores and sensitivity to certain treatments, indicating potential therapeutic options for high-risk STAD patients. We also validated the carcinogenic role of RPL14 in gastric cancer through phenotypic experiments, demonstrating its influence on cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Overall, this research provides crucial insights into the genetic and immune aspects of STAD, highlighting the importance of a risk scoring model for personalized treatment strategies and clinical decision-making in gastric cancer management.

Abstract
The identification of neurodevelopmental defects in a patient harboring a heterozygous de novo missense variant (NM_006561.4, c.1517G > A, p.Arg506His) within the CELF2 gene. Here, we describe the establishment of a patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, alongside an isogenic gene-corrected iPSC line, achieved through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. These lines exhibit the expression of pluripotency markers, demonstrate differentiation potential into all three germ layers, and maintain a normal karyotype. These iPSC lines serve as valuable tools for investigating the consequences of CELF2 related neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
Gordon Holmes Syndrome (GDHS) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease mainly associated with mutations of RNF216. We established a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line, FDHSi003-A, derived from PBMC of a patient baring a mutation of RNF216 c.1948G > T, who shows typical symptoms of GDHS. The generated FDHSi003-A expresses pluripotency markers, displays a normal karyotype, and has the potency to differentiate into all three germ layers. Thus, FDHSi003-A is an ideal model to investigate the mechanism of RNF216 in GDHS.

Abstract
Here we introduce the human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (hiPSCs), HIMRi004-A and HIMRi005-A from dermal fibroblasts of a 48-year-old female (HIMRi004-A) carrying missense mutation that translate to the first described filamin C isoform p.W2710X and from a 56-year-old female (HIMRi005-A) carrying a recently described mutation in the same domain p.Y2704X. Both lines are generated via lentiviral expression of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. The lines display a typical embryonic stem cell-like morphology, express pluripotency markers, retain a normal karyotype (46, XX) and have the differentiation capacity in all three germ layers. The two lines can be used to elucidate the pathomechanisms of FLNC myofibrillar myopathies and to develop novel therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), classically presenting as a triad of early-onset cerebellar ataxia, lower extremity spasticity and peripheral neuropathy, is caused by mutations in SACS gene which encodes the protein sacsin. OBJECTIVE To provide new insight into the occurrence of SACS mutations in South India. METHODS Patients with three cardinal features of ARSACS-peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, and pyramidal tract signs were included. Nine patients were clinically identified and genetically evaluated. Mutation screening of SACS by targeted sequencing of 40 recessive ataxia genes panel by next-generation sequencing was conducted. Additional investigations included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Functional disability was assessed by the Spinocerebellar Degeneration Functional Score. RESULTS Two hundred and fifteen cerebellar ataxia patients were screened, and 9 patients with cerebellar ataxia with spasticity, peripheral neuropathy and MRI brain characteristics, consistent with a clinical diagnosis of ARSACS were identified, of which 7 patients were identified to have mutation in the SACS gene and are detailed hereafter. Age of presentation ranged from 20 to 55 years (29.8 ± 11.9) with a mean disease duration of 12.7 years (SD-7.65, range 5-22 years). All except one had onset of symptoms in the form of an ataxic gait noticed before 20 years of age. Additional features were subnormal intelligence (4/7), slow and hypometric saccades (1/7), seizures (1/7), kyphoscoliosis (1/7) and dysmorphic facies (1/7). SDFS was 3 in 5/7 patients signifying moderate disability with independent ambulation. MRI showed cerebellar atrophy with predominant atrophy of the superior vermis (7/7), horizontal linear T2 hypointensities in the pons(7/7), hyperintensities where lateral pons merges with the middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) (7/7) well seen in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, thickening of MCP (3/7), symmetric lateral thalamic hyperintensities (6/7), posterior fossa arachnoid cyst (4/7),thinning of posterior mid-body of corpus callosum (7/7), marginal mineralisation of the basal ganglia (7/7), bilateral parietal atrophy (7/7) and thinning of corticospinal tract on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (7/7). We identified pathogenic homozygous frameshift mutations in the SACS gene in six patients (including two siblings), while one patient had a heterozygous pathogenic deletion. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest series of genetically confirmed ARSACS patients from India highlighting the clinical, ophthalmological, imaging and genetic features of this cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondrial leukodystrophies (MLs) are mainly caused by impairments of the mitochondrial respiratory chains. This study reports the mutation and phenotypic spectrum of a cohort of 41 pediatric patients from 39 distinct families with MLs among 320 patients with a molecular diagnosis of leukodystrophies. METHODS This study summarizes the clinical, imaging, and molecular data of these patients for five years. RESULTS The three most common symptoms were neurologic regression (58.5%), pyramidal signs (58.5%), and extrapyramidal signs (43.9%). Because nuclear DNA mutations are responsible for a high percentage of pediatric MLs, whole exome sequencing was performed on all patients. In total, 39 homozygous variants were detected. Additionally, two previously reported mtDNA variants were identified with different levels of heteroplasmy in two patients. Among 41 mutant alleles, 33 (80.4%) were missense, 4 (9.8%) were frameshift (including 3 deletions and one duplication), and 4 (9.8%) were splicing mutations. Oxidative phosphorylation in 27 cases (65.8%) and mtDNA maintenance pathways in 8 patients (19.5%) were the most commonly affected mitochondrial pathways. In total, 5 novel variants in PDSS1, NDUFB9, FXBL4, SURF1, and NDUSF1 were also detected. In silico analyses showed how each novel variant may contribute to ML pathogenesis. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest whole-exome sequencing as a strong diagnostic genetic tool to identify the causative variants in pediatric MLs. In comparison between oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and mtDNA maintenance groups, brain stem and periaqueductal gray matter (PAGM) involvement were more commonly seen in OXPHOS group (P value of 0.002 and 0.009, respectively), and thinning of corpus callosum was observed more frequently in mtDNA maintenance group (P value of 0.042).

Abstract
Canavan disease (CD, OMIM# 271900) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ASPA gene, which result in catalytic deficiency of the aspartoacylase enzyme and the accumulation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA). Clinical presentation varies according to the age of disease onset. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (hiPSCs) SDQLCHi064-A from a 5-month old boy with CD carrying two novel frame shift mutations c.556_559dupGTTC (p.L187Rfs*5) and c.919delA (p.S307Vfs*24) of the ASPA gene, in order for us to better understanding the disease.

Abstract
Subcortical band heterotopia (SHB) is a rare severe brain developmental malformation caused by deficient neuronal migration during the development of cerebral cortex. Here, a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) line was established from a 4-year-1-month-old girl with SHB carrying a heterozygous mutation (c.568A > G, p.K190E) in DCX. The generated iPSC line showed the ability to differentiate into three lineages in vitro and was confirmed by pluripotency markers and the original gene mutation.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked recessive disorder, which is caused mostly by frame-disrupting, out-of-frame variation in the dystrophin (DMD) gene. Loss-of- function mutations are the most common type of mutation in DMD, accounting for approximately 60-90% of all DMD variations. In this study, we used adenine base editing to generate a human embryonic stem cell line with splice-site mutations to mimic exon deletion variants in clinical Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. This cell line has differentiation potential and a normal karyotypic.

Abstract
Different pathogenic variants in the DNA polymerase-gamma2 (POLG2) gene cause a rare, clinically heterogeneous mitochondrial disease. We detected a novel POLG2 variant (c.1270 T > C, p.Ser424Pro) in a family with adult-onset cerebellar ataxia and progressive ophthalmoplegia. We demonstrated altered mitochondrial integrity in patients' fibroblast cultures but no changes of the mitochondrial DNA were found when compared to controls. We consider this novel, segregating POLG2 variant as disease-causing in this family. Moreover, we systematically screened the literature for POLG2-linked phenotypes and re-evaluated all mutations published to date for pathogenicity according to current knowledge. Thereby, we identified twelve published, likely disease-causing variants in 19 patients only. The core features included progressive ophthalmoplegia and cerebellar ataxia; parkinsonism, neuropathy, cognitive decline, and seizures were also repeatedly found in adult-onset heterozygous POLG2-related disease. A severe phenotype relates to biallelic pathogenic variants in POLG2, i.e., newborn-onset liver failure, referred to as mitochondrial depletion syndrome. Our work underlines the broad clinical spectrum of POLG2-related disease and highlights the importance of functional characterization of variants of uncertain significance to enable meaningful genetic counseling.

Abstract
Tumour suppressor genes play a cardinal role in the development of a large array of human cancers, including lung cancer, which is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. Therefore, extensive studies have been committed to deciphering the underlying mechanisms of alterations of tumour suppressor genes in governing tumourigenesis, as well as resistance to cancer therapies. In spite of the encouraging clinical outcomes demonstrated by lung cancer patients on initial treatment, the subsequent unresponsiveness to first-line treatments manifested by virtually all the patients is inherently a contentious issue. In light of the aforementioned concerns, this review compiles the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of some of the tumour suppressor genes implicated in lung cancer that are either frequently mutated and/or are located on the chromosomal arms having high LOH rates (1p, 3p, 9p, 10q, 13q, and 17p). Our study identifies specific genomic loci prone to LOH, revealing a recurrent pattern in lung cancer cases. These loci, including 3p14.2 (FHIT), 9p21.3 (p16INK4a), 10q23 (PTEN), 17p13 (TP53), exhibit a higher susceptibility to LOH due to environmental factors such as exposure to DNA-damaging agents (carcinogens in cigarette smoke) and genetic factors such as chromosomal instability, genetic mutations, DNA replication errors, and genetic predisposition. Furthermore, this review summarizes the current treatment landscape and advancements for lung cancers, including the challenges and endeavours to overcome it. This review envisages inspired researchers to embark on a journey of discovery to add to the list of what was known in hopes of prompting the development of effective therapeutic strategies for lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is a heterogeneous, progressive, multisystemic disease with a life-threatening course if left untreated. Given the current availability of effective therapies, close follow-up of presymptomatic TTR mutation carriers is essential to recognize disease onset at the earliest sign. In addition to routine techniques, in recent years several novel tools have been proposed, although a consensus on their use has not been reached yet. In this paper, we aimed to evaluate possible markers of neuropathic disease onset intended to discriminate clinically asymptomatic carriers from early symptomatic patients, thus allowing timely treatment initiation. METHODS Thirty-eight presymptomatic carriers were enrolled. Clinical and electrophysiological findings at first evaluation and follow-up were collected. All carriers underwent an extensive clinical and instrumental evaluation according to the standard clinical practice. One or more non-routine investigations, whose use in this field is not yet validated (henceforth "unconventional"), were additionally assessed in a subgroup of individuals. RESULTS Based on the exclusive use of routine investigations, it was possible to define disease onset in 4/38 carriers during the follow-up. Employing additionally one or more "unconventional" tests, abnormal findings, indicative of a possible "conversion" to symptomatic disease, were detected in further 12 cases. More than half of our study cohort showed findings suggestive of small nerve fiber (SF) involvement at either invasive or non-invasive tests. CONCLUSIONS A close, multidisciplinary monitoring of presymptomatic TTR mutation carriers is fundamental, and diagnostic workup should include both routine and "unconventional" tests. Assessment of SF involvement is important also in non-endemic countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ATP13A2 is a monogenic causative gene of Parkinson's disease, whose biallelic mutations can result in Kufor-Rakeb syndrome. Biallelic mutations in ATP13A2 have also been reported in pure or complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Here, we report clinical, neuroimaging, and genetic findings from a patient with a novel homozygous mutation in ATP13A2 presenting with HSP plus parkinsonism. METHODS Whole genome sequencing was performed on the patient, a 46-year-old Chinese woman from a consanguineous family, to identify the genetic cause. Furthermore, functional studies of the identified ATP13A2 mutation were conducted. RESULTS The patient initially presented with abnormal gait because of lower-limb spasticity and recurrent seizures. Parkinsonism (presenting as bradykinesia and rigidity) and peripheral neuropathy in lower limbs further evolved and resulted in her eventual use of a wheelchair. Symmetrically decreased dopamine transporter density was detected within the bilateral putamen and caudate nucleus in dopamine transporter-positron emission tomography. Genetic analysis revealed a novel homozygous missense mutation in ATP13A2 (c.2780 T > C, p.Leu927Pro), which was heterozygous in the patient's parents and son. Functional studies suggested that this mutation results in the reduced expression and altered subcellular localization of ATP13A2. CONCLUSIONS Our report broadens the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of ATP13A2-related HSP. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanism linking ATP13A2 variants to HSP.

Abstract
ZEB2 is a protein-coding gene belonging to a very restricted family of transcription factors. ZEB2 acts mainly as a transcription repressor, is expressed in various tissues and its role is fundamental for the correct development of the nervous system. The best-known clinical picture associated with ZEB2 mutations is Mowat-Wilson syndrome, caused mostly by haploinsufficiency and characterized by possible multi-organ malformations, dysmorphic features, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. In this study we report the generation of IGGi004-A and IGGi005-A, iPSC clones from two patients carrying different heterozygous mutations in ZEB2, which can be used for disease modelling, pathophysiological studies and therapeutics testing.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which results in a prominent reduction of striatal dopamine levels leading to motor alterations. The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in PD remain unknown. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell line from dermal fibroblasts of a Mexican patient diagnosed with sporadic PD (UNAMi002-A) and another cell line from dermal fibroblasts of a patient carrying the point mutation c.1423delC in PINK1 (UNAMi003-A). These patient-derived iPS cell lines offer the possibility of modeling PD and understanding the mechanisms that contribute to dopamine neuron loss.

Abstract
Type 1 familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to variation of the melanocortin-2-receptor (MC2R) gene. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line SDQLCHi029-A was successfully generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from a 5-day-old girl with MC2R mutations (c.428C > T and c.409C > T). The iPSC line showed genetically stable and matched the donor's PBMCs. displayed a normal karyotype, expressed high pluripotent markers, and exhibited differentiation potential of three germ layers in vitro. The iPSC line could be a good model to study the pathogenesis of FGD type 1 and screen new drugs for the disease.

Abstract
Oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT), characterized by abnormally low sperm count, poor sperm motility, and abnormally high number of deformed spermatozoa, is an important cause of male infertility. Its genetic basis in many affected individuals remains unknown. Here, we found that CCDC157 variants are associated with OAT. In two cohorts, a 21-bp (g.30768132_30768152del21) and/or 24-bp (g.30772543_30772566del24) deletion of CCDC157 were identified in five sporadic OAT patients, and 2 cases within one pedigree. In a mouse model, loss of Ccdc157 led to male sterility with OAT-like phenotypes. Electron microscopy revealed misstructured acrosome and abnormal head-tail coupling apparatus in the sperm of Ccdc157-null mice. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed that the Ccdc157 mutation alters the expressions of genes involved in cell migration/motility and Golgi components. Abnormal Golgi apparatus and decreased expressions of genes involved in acrosome formation and lipid metabolism were detected in Ccdc157-deprived mouse germ cells. Interestingly, we attempted to treat infertile patients and Ccdc157 mutant mice with a Chinese medicine, Huangjin Zanyu, which improved the fertility in one patient and most mice that carried the heterozygous mutation in CCDC157. Healthy offspring were produced. Our study reveals CCDC157 is essential for sperm maturation and may serve as a marker for diagnosis of OAT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long QT syndrome type 7 (Andersen-Tawil syndrome, ATS), which is caused by KCNJ2 gene mutation, often leads to ventricular arrhythmia, periodic paralysis and skeletal malformations. The development, differentiation and electrophysiological maturation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) changes promote the pathophysiology of Long QT syndrome type 7(LQT7). We aimed to specifically reproduce the ATS disease phenotype and study the pathogenic mechanism. METHODS AND RESULTS We established a cardiac cell model derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to the phenotypes and electrophysiological function, and the establishment of a human myocardial cell model that specifically reproduces the symptoms of ATS provides a reliable platform for exploring the mechanism of this disease or potential drugs. The spontaneous pulsation rate of myocardial cells in the mutation group was significantly lower than that in the repair CRISPR group, the action potential duration was prolonged, and the Kir2.1 current of the inward rectifier potassium ion channel was decreased, which is consistent with the clinical symptoms of ATS patients. Only ZNF528, a chromatin-accessible TF related to pathogenicity, was continuously regulated beginning from the cardiac mesodermal precursor cell stage (day 4), and continued to be expressed at low levels, which was identified by WGCNA method and verified with ATAC-seq data in the mutation group. Subsequently, it indicated that seven pathways were downregulated (all p < 0.05) by used single sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis to evaluate the overall regulation of potassium-related pathways enriched in the transcriptome and proteome of late mature CMs. Among them, the three pathways (GO: 0008076, GO: 1990573 and GO: 0030007) containing the mutated gene KCNJ2 is involved that are related to the whole process by which a potassium ion enters the cell via the inward rectifier potassium channel to exert its effect were inhibited. The other four pathways are related to regulation of the potassium transmembrane pathway and sodium:potassium exchange ATPase (p < 0.05). ZNF528 small interfering (si)-RNA was applied to hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes for CRISPR group to explore changes in potassium ion currents and growth and development related target protein levels that affect disease phenotype. Three consistently downregulated proteins (KCNJ2, CTTN and ATP1B1) associated with pathogenicity were verificated through correlation and intersection analysis. CONCLUSION This study uncovers TFs and target proteins related to electrophysiology and developmental pathogenicity in ATS myocardial cells, obtaining novel targets for potential therapeutic candidate development that does not rely on gene editing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small intestinal monomorphic-epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a rare aggressive T-cell lymphoma originating in the gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, and molecular genetic changes of MEITL. METHODS The clinicopathological data for three patients with surgically resected MEITL of the small intestine were collected. Next, immunohistochemical labeling, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in situ hybridization, assessment of clonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor (TCR) genes, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed. RESULTS Of the three patients, two were male and one was female, with ages of 61, 67, and 73 years, respectively. Clinical manifestations were predominantly abdominal pain and distension. Histopathology revealed infiltrative growth of small-to-medium-sized lymphocytes with a consistent morphology between the intestinal walls, accompanied by an obvious pro-epithelial phenomenon. The expression of CD3, CD8, CD43, CD56, TIA-1, CD103, H3K36me3, and Bcl-2 was detected, and the Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 50% to 80%. All three patients tested negative for EBER. However, monoclonal rearrangement of the TCR gene was detected in them. NGS testing showed a JAK3 mutation in all three cases. Further, STAT5B, SETD2, and TP53 mutations were each observed in two cases, and a BCOR mutation was found in one case. All patients were treated with chemotherapy after surgery. Two patients died 7 and 15 month post-operation, and one patient survived for 5 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that mutations in JAK3 and STAT5B of the JAK/STAT pathway and inactivation of the oncogene SETD2 markedly contribute to the lymphomagenesis of MEITL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the tropomyosin receptor kinase fused (TFG) gene are associated with various neurological disorders, including autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), autosomal dominant hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with proximal dominant involvement (HMSN-P) and autosomal dominant type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2. METHODS Whole genome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing were used, followed by Sanger sequencing for validation. Haplotype analysis was performed to confirm the inheritance mode of the novel TFG mutation in a large Chinese family with HSP. Additionally, another family diagnosed with HMSN-P and carrying the reported TFG mutation was studied. Clinical data and muscle pathology comparisons were drawn between patients with HSP and patients with HMSN-P. Furthermore, functional studies using skin fibroblasts derived from patients with HSP and patients with HMSN-P were conducted to investigate the pathomechanisms of TFG mutations. RESULTS A novel heterozygous TFG variant (NM_006070.6: c.125G>A (p.R42Q)) was identified and caused pure HSP. We further confirmed that the well-documented recessively inherited spastic paraplegia, caused by homozygous TFG mutations, exists in a dominantly inherited form. Although the clinical features and muscle pathology between patients with HSP and patients with HMSN-P were distinct, skin fibroblasts derived from both patient groups exhibited reduced levels of autophagy-related proteins and the presence of TFG-positive puncta. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that autophagy impairment may serve as a common pathomechanism among different clinical phenotypes caused by TFG mutations. Consequently, targeting autophagy may facilitate the development of a uniform treatment for TFG-related neurological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collagen XVII is most typically associated with human disease when biallelic COL17A1 variants (>230) cause junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), a rare, genetically heterogeneous, mucocutaneous blistering disease with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a developmental enamel defect. Despite recognition that heterozygous carriers in JEB families can have AI, and that heterozygous COL17A1 variants also cause dominant corneal epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy (ERED), the importance of heterozygous COL17A1 variants causing dominant non-syndromic AI is not widely recognised. METHODS Probands from an AI cohort were screened by single molecule molecular inversion probes or targeted hybridisation capture (both a custom panel and whole exome sequencing) for COL17A1 variants. Patient phenotypes were assessed by clinical examination and analyses of affected teeth. RESULTS Nineteen unrelated probands with isolated AI (no co-segregating features) had 17 heterozygous, potentially pathogenic COL17A1 variants, including missense, premature termination codons, frameshift and splice site variants in both the endo-domains and the ecto-domains of the protein. The AI phenotype was consistent with enamel of near normal thickness and variable focal hypoplasia with surface irregularities including pitting. CONCLUSION These results indicate that COL17A1 variants are a frequent cause of dominantly inherited non-syndromic AI. Comparison of variants implicated in AI and JEB identifies similarities in type and distribution, with five identified in both conditions, one of which may also cause ERED. Increased availability of genetic testing means that more individuals will receive reports of heterozygous COL17A1 variants. We propose that patients with isolated AI or ERED, due to COL17A1 variants, should be considered as potential carriers for JEB and counselled accordingly, reflecting the importance of multidisciplinary care.
