Cueto-Gonzalez, Amaia Lasa-Aranzasti, Javier Limeres, Jordi Leno-Colorado, Mar Costa-Roger, Alejandro Moles-Fernandez, Judith Balmana, Orland Diez, Ivon Cusco, Elena Garcia-Arumi, Eduardo Fidel Tizzano

Summary: This study investigated the acceptance rate of secondary findings (SFs) and factors associated with their acceptance in a cohort of patients with rare genetic disorders in a Spanish hospital. The results showed that the majority of families wanted to be informed of SFs, and the acceptance of SFs was associated with prenatal setting, consanguinity, gender, and being a minor. Disclosure of SFs increased the percentage of positive family histories and resulted in clinically meaningful changes in the medical management of individuals.

Summary: This study successfully provides a biomechanical reference for the circulation in adult zebrafish by establishing 3D models of the cardiovascular system. By providing reference values for biomechanical stimuli in wild-type animals and a pipeline for image-based animal-specific computational biomechanical models, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the role of altered biomechanics and hemodynamics in heritable cardiovascular pathologies.

Summary: Background: Consanguineous couples have an increased risk of severe diseases in offspring due to autosomal recessive disorders. Exome sequencing (ES) offers the possibility of extensive preconception carrier screening (PCS) in consanguineous couples who may be at risk of rare genetic disorders. Methods: We retrospectively analysed ES data from 65 probands affected with rare genetic disorders born from consanguineous couples, exploring diagnostic yield and carrier status for recessive disorders.

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line UGENTi001-A from a patient with Marfan syndrome carrying a heterozygous c.7754 T > C variant in FBN1 and the isogenic control UGENT001-A-1 using CRISPR/Cas9 editing

Jeffrey Aalders, Laurens Leger, Anthony Demolder, Laura Muino Mosquera, Paul Coucke, Bjorn Menten, Julie De Backer, Jolanda van Hengel

Summary: Marfan syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in the FBN1 gene, resulting in impaired fibrillin-1 protein and affecting multiple organ systems. We generated iPSCs with a heterozygous FBN1 variant from a Marfan syndrome patient, as well as an isogenic control with the variant repaired using CRISPR-Cas9. This isogenic pair provides a valuable resource for in vitro disease modeling.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the molecular basis of patients with RASopathies, with a focus on patients with pathogenic variants in genes other than PTPN11, and its potential impact on rGH treatment indication. The study found that the correct nosological classification of patients with RASopathies is critical for determining the use of rhGH treatment and emphasized the importance of genetic testing in guiding the diagnostic orientation in these patients.

Contribution of Dynamic and Genetic Tests for Short Stature Diagnosing: A Case Report

Betina Biagetti, Irene Valenzuela, Ariadna Campos-Martorell, Berta Campos, Sara Hernandez, Marina Giralt, Noelia Diaz-Troyano, Emilio Iniesta-Serrano, Diego Yeste, Rafael Simo

Summary: This report describes a case of short stature in an adult patient with homozygous variants in the ADAMTS17 and GHS-R genes. The patient exhibited severe short stature, small hands and feet, and eye disturbances. Genetic testing revealed compound homozygosity for ADAMTS17, responsible for Weill-Marchesani-like syndrome, as well as homozygous variants in the GHS-R gene. Dynamic stimulation tests showed a normal GH response to insulin tolerance test but a flattened response to macimorelin stimulus. The findings provide insights into the clinical spectrum, associated co-morbidities, implications in dynamic tests, genetic counseling, and treatment options for both the index case and her relatives.

Summary: By studying individuals with de novo missense variants in CERT1, it was found that CERT autoregulation plays a central role in the control of sphingolipid biosynthetic flux. Inhibiting CERT pharmacologically can correct the morphological and motor abnormalities in CerTra syndrome, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for patients.

Anatomical mapping of the membranous septum in tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves by cardiac computed tomography

Laurence Campens, Xi Wang, Nicholas J. Montarello, Jingjing He, Klaus Fuglsang Kofoed, Mao Chen, Lars Sondergaard, Ole De Backer

Summary: A study using cardiac computed tomography found that patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) have a higher incidence of conduction disturbances and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to those with tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs). The study revealed that BAVs have a significantly shorter sub-annular length of the membranous septum (MS) compared to TAVs, which could explain the higher PPI rate. The location of the MS in BAVs, closer to the right coronary cusp where TAVI is commonly performed, may also contribute to the increased PPI rate.

Summary: This study aimed to assess changes in risk stratification and outcomes of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients suffering from COVID-19. The study found that general risk factors were equally important for ACHD patients, in addition to cyanotic heart disease. Risk perception among ACHD experts decreased during the pandemic.
