TL;DR

The patient had developed unsteady gait 6 months before without clear cause, manifesting as a feeling of heaviness in the head and lightness in the feet, a sensation of walking on cotton wool when standing or walking, and the detection of the novel variant has enriched the mutational spectrum of the JAM2 gene.

A novel MYH9 variant in a Chinese patient with MYH9 related disease

To investigate the novel genetic mutations and clinical characteristics in a patient with MYH9 related disease in order to enhance understanding of the disease. Clinical information was obtained, including medical history, pertinent laboratory tests, and family history. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was conducted on the patient and her parents. A 19-year-old female presented with a history of epistaxis and chronic thrombocytopenia. Her aunt and brother also have a history of thrombocytopenia. Sequencing analysis revealed mutations of MYH9 gene (c.5765 + 2T > G) and HBB gene (c.126_129del) in the patient, with the c.5765 + 2T > G mutation being previously unreported. The splice site mutation of MYH9 was predicted to be pathogenic by Mutation Taster and Polyphen software programs. As a result of identifying this splicing site mutation in this particular case, we have added c.5765 + 2T > G to the broad spectrum of potential MYH9 mutations.

Clinical significance of SQSTM1 variants in ALS: report of p.Arg119Cys and literature review

It is shown that SQSTM1-associated ALS predominantly presents with limb onset, with a subset of patients exhibiting frontotemporal dementia or Paget’s disease, and its pathogenicity remains uncertain and requires further functional validation and pedigree confirmation.
