Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a collagen-related bone dysplasia. We identified an X-linked recessive form of OI caused by defects in MBTPS2, which encodes site-2 metalloprotease (S2P). MBTPS2 missense mutations in two independent kindreds with moderate/severe OI cause substitutions at highly conserved S2P residues. Mutant S2P has normal stability, but impaired functioning in regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) of OASIS, ATF6 and SREBP transcription factors, consistent with decreased proband secretion of type I collagen. Further, hydroxylation of the collagen lysine residue (K87) critical for crosslinking is reduced in proband bone tissue, consistent with decreased lysyl hydroxylase 1 in proband osteoblasts. Reduced collagen crosslinks presumptively undermine bone strength. Also, proband osteoblasts have broadly defective differentiation. These mutations provide evidence that RIP plays a fundamental role in normal bone development. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is genetically linked to autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive mutations. Here, Marini et al. describe two families with X-chromosome-linked OI with mutations in MBTPS2 that alter regulated intramembrane proteolysis and subsequent defects in collagen crosslinking and osteoblast function.

Abstract
Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a heterogeneous disorder associated with pre- and post-natal growth restriction and relative macrocephaly. Involvement of imprinted genes on both chromosome 7 and 11p15.5 has been reported. To further characterize the role of epimutations in RSS we evaluated the methylation status at both 11p15.5 imprinting control regions (ICRs): ICR1 associated with H19/IGF2 expression and ICR2 (KvDMR1) associated with CDKN1C expression in a series of 35 patients with RSS. We also evaluated methylation at the promoter regions of other imprinted genes involved in growth such as PLAGL1 (6q24), GCE (7q21), and PEG10 (7q21) in this series of 35 patients with RSS. Thirteen of the 35 patient samples, but none of 22 controls, showed methylation levels at ICR1 that were more than 2 SD below the mean for controls. Three RSS patients were highly methylated at the SCGE promoter, all of which were diagnosed with upd(7)mat. To identify further potential global methylation changes in RSS patients, a subset of 22 patients were evaluated at 1505 CpG sites by the Illumina GoldenGate methylation array. Among the few CpG sites displaying a significant difference between RSS patients and controls, was a CpG associated with the H19 promoter. No other sites associated with known imprinted genes were identified as abnormally methylated in RSS patients by this approach. While the association of hypomethylation of the H19/IGF2 ICR1 is clear, the continuous distribution of methylation values among the patients and controls complicates the establishment of clear cut-offs for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate hypotheses which explain phenotypic variability in sex determining region Y positive 46,XX males. We investigate two 46,XX males without gonadal ambiguities. METHODS Cytogenetic and molecular analyses were used to identify the presence of Y chromosome material and to map the translocation breakpoint. Finally, the pattern of X chromosome inactivation was studied using the methylation assay at the androgen receptor locus. RESULTS The presence of Y chromosome material, including the sex determining region Y gene, was demonstrated in both men. However, the amount of translocated Y chromosome material differed between the patients. Different X chromosome inactivation patterns were found in the patients; random in one patient and non-random in the other. CONCLUSIONS We found a lack of association between phenotype and X chromosome inactivation pattern. Our cytogenetic and molecular analyses show support for the position effect hypothesis explaining the phenotypic variability in XX males.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recent work has demonstrated enhanced X monosomy in women with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) as well as two other female-predominant autoimmune diseases, systemic sclerosis and autoimmune thyroid disease. To further our understanding of these events, we have investigated the mechanisms of X chromosome loss and X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in 166 women with PBC and 226 rigorously age-matched healthy and liver disease controls. X chromosome analysis and determination of loss pattern was performed by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) with 4 X-linked short tandem repeats. Further definition of the XCI was based on analysis of methylation-sensitive restriction sites. Importantly, in PBC the X chromosome loss occurs not only more frequently but also in a preferential fashion. This observation supports our thesis that the enhanced X monosomy involves only one parentally derived chromosome and is not secondary to a constitutive non random pattern of XCI. In fact, in the presence of monosomy, the lost X chromosome is necessarily the inactive homologue. CONCLUSION The finding that the X chromosome loss is preferential suggests the critical involvement of X chromosome gene products in the female predisposition to PBC and also emphasizes the need to determine the parental origin of the maintained chromosome to investigate the role of imprinting.

Abstract
Most X-linked diseases show a recessive pattern of inheritance in which female carriers are unaffected. In X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP), however, both recessive and semi-dominant inheritance patterns have been reported. We identified an Israeli family with semi-dominant XLRP due to a missense mutation (p.G275S) in the RPGR gene. The mutation was previously reported in two Danish families with recessive XLRP. Obligate carriers from the two Danish families had no visual complaints and normal to slightly reduced retinal function, while those from the Israeli family suffered from high myopia, low visual acuity, constricted visual fields, and severely reduced electroretinogram (ERG) amplitudes. The disease-related RPGR haplotype of the Israeli family was found to be different from the one found in the two Danish families, indicating that the mutation arose twice independently on different X-chromosome backgrounds. A series of genetic analyses excluded skewed X-inactivation pattern, chromosomal abnormalities, distorted RPGR expression level, and mutations in candidate genes as the cause for the differences in disease severity of female carriers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed analysis of an identical mutation causing either a recessive or a semi-dominant X-linked pattern of disease in different families. Our results indicate that an additional gene (or genes), linked to RPGR, modulate disease expression in severely affected carriers. These may be related to the high myopia concomitantly found in affected carriers from the Israeli family.
