Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of COLEC10-Related 3MC syndrome: A glimpse into COLEC10-Related 3MC syndrome in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Am J Med Genet A 2022; 188:3110-3117. [PMID: 35943032 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.62943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Bi-allelic variants in COLEC11 and MASP1 have been associated with 3MC syndrome, a clinical entity made of up four rare autosomal recessive disorders: Carnevale, Mingarelli, Malpuech, and Michels syndromes, characterized by variable expression of facial dysmorphia, cleft lip/palate, postnatal growth deficiency, hearing loss, cognitive impairment, craniosynostosis, radioulnar synostosis, and genital and vesicorenal anomalies. More recently, bi-allelic variants in COLEC10 have been described to be associated with 3MC syndrome. Syndromic features seen in 3MC syndrome are thought to be due to disruption of the chemoattractant properties that influence neural crest cell migration. We identified nine individuals from five families of Ashkenazi Jewish descent with homozygosity of the c.311G > T (p.Gly104Val) variant in COLEC10 and phenotype consistent with 3MC syndrome. Carrier frequency was calculated among 52,278 individuals of Jewish descent. Testing revealed 400 carriers out of 39,750 individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, giving a carrier frequency of 1 in 99 or 1.01%. Molecular protein modeling suggested that the p.Gly104Val substitution alters local conformation. The c.311G > T (p.Gly104Val) variant likely represents a founder variant, and homozygosity is associated with features of 3MC syndrome. 3MC syndrome should be in the differential diagnosis for individuals with short stature, radioulnar synostosis, cleft lip and cleft palate.

Abstract
Background Oro-facial clefts (OFCs) are formed due to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors. Treatment is usually extensive and lasts till adult age. The treatment also includes a large portion of dental rehabilitation. Objective This study aims to look at the different dental anomalies associated with OFCs. Methods A total of 100 participants with OFCs were randomly selected from Clap centre Lahore. They were categorized into cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and both. Dental anomalies were recorded clinically and family history for OFCs was also recorded. Results Out of the 100 participants, 15 had CL only, 37 had a CP, and 48 had both CL and CP. Missing teeth and hypodontia were significantly associated with all OFCs (p-value > 0.05). Supernumerary teeth were only significantly associated with CP (p-value: 0.04). Other dental anomalies were not significant for OFCs. Conclusion OFCs in all its three forms are associated with dental irregularities. They can either be missing teeth or extra teeth. There is a strong need for dentists to be a part of the treatment planning of OFCs and to treat dental anomalies alongside the clefts.

Abstract
Background Cleft lip and palate deformities are considered one of the most common birth defects of the head and neck that pose significant medical, psychosocial and financial burdens on the affected individuals and families, especially in low income communities. The etiology and pathogenesis of cleft lip and palate is complex and is known to involve genetic and/or environmental factors. Objective To assess the patterns of anatomical cleft lip and palate deformities among neonates in Mekelle and Ayder Comprehensive Specialized hospitals, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based retrospective study was conducted from May 2017 to June 2017 at Mekelle and Ayder Comprehensive Specialized hospitals, both in Mekelle city. Data was collected from all medical charts of neonates registered from 2011 to 2016 and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 and OpenEpi software. Results were presented using tables and graphs; Chi-square test was used to look for an association between variables, odds ratio to determine the strength of association of selected variables using multinomial logistic regression model, while Fisher Exact (Clopper-Pearson) was used to compare yearly prevalence. Results Of 37,152 neonatal charts analyzed, 119 (0.32%) cases were identified as having cleft deformities. 38.7, 17.6, and 43.7% of this figure had cleft lips, cleft palates and both cleft lip and palate respectively. 46 (38.7%) neonates had lateral patterns of cleft lip deformities with 56.5% located unilaterally on the right and 43.5% unilaterally on the left. Of 52 (43.7%) neonates with cleft lip and palate deformities, 40.4% were located bilaterally while 38.5 and 21.2% were located unilaterally on the left and right, respectively. Associated malformations were: cardiac (3.4%), central nervous system (1.7%) and limb deformities (5.9%). The overall prevalence of cleft deformities was found to be 3.11 per 1000 live births. Conclusion The study showed a higher prevalence of cleft deformities than that reported in Addis Ababa and some other African countries. A higher occurrence of left unilateral pattern of cleft lip and palate was observed whereas a higher right unilateral pattern of cleft lip was identified. The higher prevalence of cleft lip and palate recorded in this region of Ethiopia may reflect an environmental impact.

Abstract
Patients who undergo corrective surgery for cleft lip are known to be at risk for subsequently developing secondary nasal deformity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Y-shaped conchal cartilage transplantation on the correction of nasal deformity secondary to cleft lip and its influence on mental health. Sixteen patients with nasal deformity secondary to cleft lip admitted to The First People's Hospital Xuzhou (Xuzhou, China) from February 2014 to February 2015 were selected for the study. Conchal cartilage was taken from the patients and made into a Y-shaped stent, which was then transplanted into the nasal columella. The surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction were evaluated and HADS was used to compare the preoperative and postoperative mental health. After the affected side of the nose was corrected, the nasal profiles of 12 patients were significantly improved, the height of nasal columella and nostril was significantly increased, the nasal base and breadth were significantly shorter than those before operation and the nose wing-nasal breadth index on the affected side was significantly increased compared to that before operation and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The satisfaction of each index after the operation was more than 90%. The mental health of patients after operation was notably improved compared to before operation and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the correction of secondary nasal deformity to cleft lip through Y-shaped conchal cartilage transplantation, the shape of the nasal tip was stable without the recurrence of deformities or distortion on the donor site of the auricle. Y-shaped conchal cartilage transplantation is an ideal treatment method for the moderate and severe secondary nasal deformity to cleft lip and effective perioperative mental intervention can improve the patient's mental health status, an outcome that is worth popularizing in clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the influence of genetic variation of the transforming growth-factor alpha (TGFA) locus on the relationship between smoking and oral clefts. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study 105 Iranian infants with non-syndromic cleft lip/palate and 218 controls with non-cleft birth defects were examined to test for associations among maternal exposures, genetic markers, and oral clefts. Maternal and parental smoking histories during pregnancy were obtained through questionnaire. DNA was extracted from newborn screening blood samples, and genotyping of the BamHI polymorphism in the TGFA gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods. A number of factors including gender of the newborns, type of oral cleft, consanguinity of the parents, as well as the mother's age and education were evaluated as potential confounders and effect modifiers. RESULTS Maternal smoking, in the absence of paternal smoking, was associated with an increased risk for CL/P (OR = 19.2, 95% CI = [(6.2-59.5)]) and cleft palate only (OR =48.7, 95% CI = [(8-29.3)]). If both parents smoked, risks were generally greater (OR = 55.6, 95% CI = [12-20.25]). Analyses for the risk of clefting from maternal smoking, stratified by the presence or absence of the TGFA/BamH1variant, revealed that the risk of clefting among the infants with the TGFA/BamH1 variant when their mothers smoked cigarettes was much greater than the infants who had non-smoker mothers (P=0.001, OR=10.4,95% CI=[3.2,33.6]). CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that first-trimester maternal smoking and infant TGFA locus mutations are both associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of liver diseases. We investigated the efficacy and safety of telbivudine in preventing transmission of HBV from hepatitis B e antigen-positive pregnant women with high viral loads to their infants in an open-label study. METHODS We performed a prospective study of 450 hepatitis B e antigen-positive pregnant women with HBV DNA levels greater than 10(6) IU/mL; 279 women received telbivudine (600 mg/d) during weeks 24 to 32 of gestation, and 171 women who were unwilling to take antiviral drugs participated as controls. All newborns were vaccinated with a recombinant HBV vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin, according to a standard immunoprophylaxis procedure. Mother-to-child transmission of HBV was determined by detection of hepatitis B surface antigen and HBV DNA in the infant 6 months after birth. RESULTS None of the infants whose mothers were given telbivudine tested positive for of hepatitis B surface antigen at 6 months, compared with 14.7% of infants in the control group (P = 5.317 × 10(-8)). Levels of HBV DNA also decreased among women given telbivudine; 40 of 172 (23.2%) women given telbivudine had undetectable HBV DNA levels before delivery, compared with none of the controls. A significantly higher proportion of women given telbivudine had undetectable levels of HBV DNA in cord blood (99.1%) than controls (61.5%; P = 1.195 × 10(-22)). No severe adverse events or complications were observed in women or infants. CONCLUSIONS Telbivudine significantly reduces vertical transmission of HBV from pregnant women to their infants; it is safe and well tolerated by women and infants.
