Article Abstract

Dysfunctional inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) kinase regulatory subunit gamma () is known to trigger incontinentia pigmenti (IP), anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID), immunodeficiency (ID), and deleted exon 5 autoinflammatory syndrome (NDAS). The correlation between genotype and phenotype remains elusive because of the considerable variability in genes. This study aimed to systematically describe gene mutations and clinical characteristics. Cases with mutations and thorough clinical features were gathered using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases, with a publication deadline of February 12, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and its modified version were used to assess the quality of each study. Gene mutations and clinical manifestation data were analyzed and reviewed. 144 publications with 564 patients were included in the analysis. IP, EDA-ID, ID, and NDAS accounted for 78.0%, 15.8%, 5.0%, and 1.2% of mutations, respectively. Skin abnormalities (89.5%), dental abnormalities (68.5%), infection (100%), and non-infectious inflammation (100%) were the most common manifestations of IP, EDA-ID, ID, and NDAS, respectively. Mutations related to EDA-ID and ID are concentrated in the zinc finger region and characterized by the most severe clinical symptoms. E390RfsX5 can cause IP, EDA-ID, and ID. c.1182_1183delTT and H413R caused the most clinical manifestations. (22.7%) and (17.5%) were the most common pathogens. Almost all cases of hyper-IgM occurred in patients with EDA-ID. Different structural domains correspond to symptoms with varying degrees of severity. Certain mutations may correspond to unique manifestations, providing insight into disease progression.

Stabilizing the retromer complex rescues synaptic dysfunction and endosomal trafficking deficits in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model.

Disruptions in synaptic transmission and plasticity are early hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Endosomal trafficking, mediated by the retromer complex, is essential for intracellular protein sorting, including the regulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. The VPS35 subunit, a key cargo-recognition component of the retromer, has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, with mutations such as L625P linked to early-onset AD.

In-vivo evidence of synucleinopathy in parkinsonism due to VCP mutation.

Multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene typically presenting with inclusion body myopathy (IBM), Paget's disease of bone (PDB), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Parkinsonism is a rare feature of MSP1, occurring in 3-4% of cases, with limited post-mortem evidence suggesting neuronal synucleinopathy. We report a case of VCP-related parkinsonism providing the first in vivo demonstration of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein deposition in skin biopsy, a highly sensitive and specific in vivo biomarker of synucleinopathy.

Essential tremor (ET) is a common neurological disease that is characterized by 4-12 Hz kinetic tremors of the upper limbs and high genetic heterogeneity. Although numerous candidate genes and loci have been reported, the etiology of ET remains unclear. A novel ET-related gene was initially identified in a five-generation family via whole-exome sequencing, and other variants were identified in 772 familial ET probands and 640 sporadic individuals via whole-genome sequencing.

Rare variants in , the gene encoding the GluA3 subunit of amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs), are associated with defects in early brain development. Disease-causing variants are generally categorised as either loss of function (LoF) or gain of function (GoF) that appear to be linked to different symptoms. Here, we reported a de novo variant (N651D) that has mixed LoF and GoF in a female patient with a devastating developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, parkinsonism and cortical malformation.

Purpose: Polymorphous adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland is characterized by cellular uniformity associated with a variety of morphological growth patterns, a fact that makes its diagnosis challenging. Therefore, the identification of genetic alterations and signaling pathways emerges as a tool for elucidation of the pathogenesis of this tumor and accurate differential diagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess mutations in the PRKD1 gene and in protein components of the HH pathway (SHH, IHH, SMO, and GLI-1) in cases of polymorphous adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland.
