Patient 2: NBAS c.5741G>A p.(Arg1914His); c.2032C>T p.(Gln678*) in a 5-year old boy with similar presenting features, bone fragility, mild developmental delay, abnormal liver function tests and immunodeficiency.
Neuroblastoma Amplified Sequence (NBAS) mutation in recurrent acute liver failure: Confirmatory report in a sibship with very early onset, osteoporosis and developmental delay.
Patient 1: NBAS c.5741G>A p.(Arg1914His); c.3010C>T p.(Arg1004*) in a 10-year old boy with significant short stature, bone fragility requiring treatment with bisphosphonates, developmental delay and immunodeficiency.
Fifteen children presenting with infantile seizures, acquired microcephaly, and developmental delay were found to have novel heterozygous mutations in the GLUT1 (SLC2A1).
The comparison of the clinical features between the 19 SLC2A1 mutated and the 226 non-mutated patients revealed that the onset of epilepsy within the first year of life (when associated with developmental delay or other neurological manifestations), the association of epilepsy with PD and acquired microcephaly are more common in mutated subjects.
Our results expand the genotype and phenotypes of SZT2-related DEEs, suggesting that SZT2 mutations play a role in developmental delay and epileptic encephalopathy, with high susceptibility to SE and relatively specific MRI findings.
COL4A1 mutations disrupt the integrity of vascular basement membranes, so predisposing to a broad spectrum of disorders including periventricular leucomalacia, haemorrhagic stroke, aneurysm formation, epilepsy and developmental delay.
Here we report small, intragenic deletions of IGF1R, identified by chromosome microarray analysis in two unrelated families affected primarily with neuropsychiatric phenotypes including developmental delay, intellectual disability and aggressive/autoaggressive behaviors.
Mutations in SZT2 have been reported in very few patients and features range from mild to moderate intellectual disability without seizures to severe intellectual disability with epileptic encephalopathies with severe developmental delay.
We report a six-year-old boy who presented with short stature, microcephaly, dysmorphic features, and developmental delay and who was identified with a terminal deletion of 15q26.2q26.3 containing the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) gene in addition to a terminal duplication of the 4q35.1q35.2 region.
Furthermore, intellectual disability/developmental delay seems to be fully penetrant amongst known individuals with de novo nonsense and frameshift variants of TCF20, whereas ASD is shown to be incompletely penetrant.
