A de novoNR2F1 c.330 C > A variant in Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome presenting with early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

The novel NR2F1 variant was classified as likely pathogenic according to ACMG guidelines, confirming the diagnosis of BBSOAS and the ARF3 variant, identified as a secondary finding of uncertain clinical significance, is unlikely to account for the patient's phenotype.

Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants in SLC13A3 Associated With ARLIAK: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

The molecular and phenotypic spectrum of SLC13A3‐related ARLIAK is expanded and the importance of combining sequencing with copy number analysis for accurate diagnosis is underscored, suggesting the need for copy number analysis as part of the diagnostic protocol for suspected ARLIAK cases.

The AP5B1 p.Leu785Pro variant is a frequent cause of late-onset macular dystrophy with variable extraocular manifestations

Findings further support AP5B1 as a cause of macular dystrophy, identify p.(Leu785Pro) as a relatively frequent pathogenic allele in individuals of European and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, and expand the associated phenotypic spectrum to include both isolated macular dystrophy and possible syndromic presentations.

Clinical and Genetic Findings in a Turkish Family With the Recurrent Homozygous EEFSEC p.Asp390Ala Variant.

The EEFSEC gene encodes eukaryotic elongation factor selenocysteine-tRNA-specific, an essential component of the selenoprotein biosynthesis machinery required for normal neurodevelopment. Biallelic EEFSEC variants have recently been associated with a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with variable neurological severity. Here, we describe a Turkish proband carrying the recurrent homozygous EEFSEC (NM_021937.5) variant c.1169A>C; p.Asp390Ala, together with his younger brother, who was identified with the same homozygous variant through familial testing. The proband presented with intellectual disability, delayed motor and expressive language development, mild hypotonia, subtle dysmorphic features, and self-limited early childhood febrile seizures. Compared with previously reported Turkish patients carrying the same variant, his absence of ocular motor involvement, normal neuroimaging, lack of persistent epileptiform abnormalities, and partial developmental gains suggest a relatively milder neurological presentation. The younger brother was initially identified before overt neurological manifestations and subsequently showed delayed expressive language development during early follow-up. This report provides comparative data on the recurrent EEFSEC p.Asp390Ala variant and highlights the value of familial testing, early molecular diagnosis, and longitudinal developmental monitoring in families with confirmed biallelic EEFSEC variants.

A NOTCH3 p.Gly1105Cys variant in CADASIL: clinical characterization and an updated overview of exon 20 variants

This case provides a detailed clinical and imaging description of CADASIL associated with NOTCH3 c.3313G > T (p.Gly1105Cys) and expands understanding of genotype–phenotype correlations among exon 20 variants and found marked phenotypic heterogeneity across variants and populations.
