Abstract
BACKGROUND The sodium channel and clathrin linker 1 gene (SCLT1) has been involved in the pathogenesis of various ciliopathy disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome, orofaciodigital syndrome type IX, and Senior-Løken syndrome. Detailed exams are warranted to outline all clinical features. Here, we present a family with a milder phenotype of SCLT1-related disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS Comprehensive eye examination including fundus images, OCT, color vision, visual fields and electroretinography were performed. Affected individuals were assessed by a pediatrician and a medical geneticist for systemic features of ciliopathy. Investigations included echocardiography, abdominal ultrasonography, blood work-up for diabetes, liver and kidney function. Genetic testing included NGS retinal dystrophy panel, segregation analysis and transcriptome sequencing. RESULTS Two male children, age 10 and 8 years, were affected with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obesity and mild photophobia. The ophthalmic exam revealed reduced best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), strabismus, hyperopia, astigmatism and moderate red-green defects. Milder changes suggesting photoreceptors disease were found on retinal imaging. Electroretinogram confirmed cone photoreceptors dysfunction. Genetic testing revealed a homozygous likely pathogenic, splice-site variant in SCLT1 gene NM_144643.3: c.1439 + 1del in the proband and in the affected brother. The unaffected parents were heterozygous for the SCLT1 variant. Transcriptome sequencing showed retention of intron 16 in the proband. CONCLUSIONS In this report, we highlight the importance of further extensive diagnostics in patients with unexplained reduced vision, strabismus, refractive errors and ADHD spectrum disorders. SCLT1-related retinal degeneration is very rare and isolated reduced function of cone photoreceptors has not previously been observed.

Abstract
Oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFDS) gather rare genetic disorders characterised by facial, oral and digital abnormalities associated with a wide range of additional features (polycystic kidney disease, cerebral malformations and several others) to delineate a growing list of OFDS subtypes. The most frequent, OFD type I, is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the OFD1 gene encoding a centrosomal protein. The wide clinical heterogeneity of OFDS suggests the involvement of other ciliary genes. For 15 years, we have aimed to identify the molecular bases of OFDS. This effort has been greatly helped by the recent development of whole-exome sequencing (WES). Here, we present all our published and unpublished results for WES in 24 cases with OFDS. We identified causal variants in five new genes (C2CD3, TMEM107, INTU, KIAA0753 and IFT57) and related the clinical spectrum of four genes in other ciliopathies (C5orf42, TMEM138, TMEM231 and WDPCP) to OFDS. Mutations were also detected in two genes previously implicated in OFDS. Functional studies revealed the involvement of centriole elongation, transition zone and intraflagellar transport defects in OFDS, thus characterising three ciliary protein modules: the complex KIAA0753-FOPNL-OFD1, a regulator of centriole elongation; the Meckel-Gruber syndrome module, a major component of the transition zone; and the CPLANE complex necessary for IFT-A assembly. OFDS now appear to be a distinct subgroup of ciliopathies with wide heterogeneity, which makes the initial classification obsolete. A clinical classification restricted to the three frequent/well-delineated subtypes could be proposed, and for patients who do not fit one of these three main subtypes, a further classification could be based on the genotype.
