Article Abstract

Cohen syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. CS includes a range of clinical symptoms including retinal dystrophy and myopia. The new VPS13B mutation could cause CS-induced neutropenia and petechiae in patients with CS.

Background: Cohen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by facial anomalies with or without microcephaly, non-progressive intellectual disability, hypotonia, ocular abnormalities, and neutropenia. Due to its low prevalence and diverse presentations, much information about the disease, including ocular manifestations, is not yet fully understood. To date, there is a paucity of literature on Cohen syndrome, which is characterized by predominantly ocular manifestations and typical manifestations in multiple systems throughout the body.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental impairment that occurs due to mutations related to the formation of the nervous system, combined with the impact of various epigenetic and environmental factors. This necessitates the identification of the genetic variations involved in ASD pathogenesis. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) in a cohort of 22 Bulgarian male and female individuals showing ASD features alongside segregation analyses of their families.

Backgrounds: To reveal rare genetic factors that cause susceptibility to idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM).

Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 30 patients with histopathologically diagnosed idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. WES analysis mainly focused on 317 genes linked to autoimmunity, autoinflammation, and immune dysregulation.

Article Synopsis
  • VPS13 proteins are involved in transferring lipids between cell membranes, with VPS13B linked specifically to Golgi membranes.
  • Mutations in VPS13B are responsible for a genetic condition known as Cohen syndrome.
  • Recent studies by Ugur et al. and Du et al. have identified new proteins that interact with VPS13B and outlined their roles in maintaining Golgi structure and movement within the cell.*
