Abstract
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies. The study presents an overview of molecular characteristics of a large cohort of LGMD patients who are representative of the Czech LGMD population. We present 226 LGMD probands in which 433 mutant alleles carrying 157 different variants with a supposed pathogenic effect were identified. Fifty-four variants have been described only in the Czech LGMD population so far. LGMD R1 caplain3-related is the most frequent subtype of LGMD involving 53.1% of patients with genetically confirmed LGMD, followed by LGMD R9 FKRP-related (11.1%), and LGMD R12 anoctamin5-related (7.1%). If we consider identified variants, then all but five were small-scale variants. One large gene deletion was identified in the LAMA2 gene and two deletions in each of CAPN3 and SGCG. We performed comparison our result with other published studies. The results obtained in the Czech LGMD population clearly differ from the outcome of other LGMD populations in two aspects-we have a more significant proportion of patients with LGMD R1 calpain3-related and a smaller proportion of LGMD R2 dysferlin-related.

Abstract
Nuclear deubiquitinase BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1) is a core component of multiprotein complexes that promote transcription by reversing the ubiquitination of histone 2A (H2A). BAP1 is a tumor suppressor whose germline loss-of-function variants predispose to cancer. To our knowledge, there are very rare examples of different germline variants in the same gene causing either a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) or a tumor predisposition syndrome. Here, we report a series of 11 de novo germline heterozygous missense BAP1 variants associated with a rare syndromic NDD. Functional analysis showed that most of the variants cannot rescue the consequences of BAP1 inactivation, suggesting a loss-of-function mechanism. In T cells isolated from two affected children, H2A deubiquitination was impaired. In matching peripheral blood mononuclear cells, histone H3 K27 acetylation ChIP-seq indicated that these BAP1 variants induced genome-wide chromatin state alterations, with enrichment for regulatory regions surrounding genes of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Altogether, these results define a clinical syndrome caused by rare germline missense BAP1 variants that alter chromatin remodeling through abnormal histone ubiquitination and lead to transcriptional dysregulation of developmental genes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neurodegenerative diseases of childhood present with progressive decline in cognitive, social, and motor function and are frequently associated with seizures in different stages of the disease. Here we report a patient with severe progressive neurodegeneration with drug-resistant epilepsy of unknown etiology from the age of 2 years. METHODS AND RESULTS Using whole exome sequencing, we found heterozygous missense de novo variant c.628G > A (p.Glu210Lys) in the UBTF gene. This variant was recently described as de novo in 11 patients with similar neurodegeneration characterized by developmental decline initially confined to motor development followed by language regression, appearance of an extrapyramidal movement disorder, and leading to severe intellectual disability. In 3 of the 11 patients described so far, seizures were also present. CONCLUSIONS Our report expands the complex phenotype of neurodegeneration associated with the c.628G > A variant in the UBTF gene and helps to clarify the relation between this one single recurrent pathogenic variant described in this gene to date and its phenotype. The UBTF gene should be considered a novel candidate gene in neurodegeneration with or without epilepsy.

Abstract
Purpose Variants in IQSEC2, escaping X inactivation, cause X-linked intellectual disability with frequent epilepsy in males and females. We aimed to investigate sex-specific differences. Methods We collected the data of 37 unpublished patients (18 males and 19 females) with IQSEC2 pathogenic variants and 5 individuals with variants of unknown significance and reviewed published variants. We compared variant types and phenotypes in males and females and performed an analysis of IQSEC2 isoforms. Results IQSEC2 pathogenic variants mainly led to premature truncation and were scattered throughout the longest brain-specific isoform, encoding the synaptic IQSEC2/BRAG1 protein. Variants occurred de novo in females but were either de novo (2/3) or inherited (1/3) in males, with missense variants being predominantly inherited. Developmental delay and intellectual disability were overall more severe in males than in females. Likewise, seizures were more frequently observed and intractable, and started earlier in males than in females. No correlation was observed between the age at seizure onset and severity of intellectual disability or resistance to antiepileptic treatments. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive overview of IQSEC2-related encephalopathy in males and females, and suggests that an accurate dosage of IQSEC2 at the synapse is crucial during normal brain development.

Abstract
Mutations in the ganglioside-induced differentiation associated protein-1 gene (GDAP1) cause autosomal recessive (AR) demyelinating or axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT). In order to establish the spectrum and frequency of GDAP1 mutations in Czech population, we sequenced GDAP1 in 74 Czech patients from 69 unrelated families with early-onset demyelinating or axonal CMT compatible with AR inheritance. We identified three isolated patients with GDAP1 mutations in both alleles. In one additional sporadic and one familial case, the second pathogenic mutation remained unknown. Overall, we detected two different mutations, a novel R191X nonsense and a L239F missense mutation. L239F previously described in a German-Italian family is a prevalent mutation in Czech population and we give evidence for its common ancestral origin. All Czech GDAP1 patients developed involvement of all four limbs evident by the end of second decade, except for one isolated patient showing very slow disease progression. All patients displayed axonal type of neuropathy.
