- Diagnostic yield of a multigene sequencing approach in children classified as idiopathic short stature(2022) ANDRADE, Nathalia Liberatoscioli Menezes; FUNARI, Mariana Ferreira de Assis; MALAQUIAS, Alexsandra Christianne; COLLETT-SOLBERG, Paulo Ferrez; GOMES, Nathalia L. R. A.; SCALCO, Renata; DANTAS, Naiara Castelo Branco; REZENDE, Raissa C.; TIBURCIO, Angelica M. F. P.; SOUZA, Micheline A. R.; FREIRE, Bruna L.; V, Ana C. Krepischi; LONGUI, Carlos Alberto; LERARIO, Antonio Marcondes; ARNHOLD, Ivo J. P.; JORGE, Alexander A. L.; VASQUES, Gabriela AndradeObjectiveMost children with short stature remain without an etiologic diagnosis after extensive clinical and laboratory evaluation and are classified as idiopathic short stature (ISS). This study aimed to determine the diagnostic yield of a multigene analysis in children classified as ISS. Design and methodsWe selected 102 children with ISS and performed the genetic analysis as part of the initial investigation. We developed customized targeted panel sequencing, including all genes already implicated in the isolated short-stature phenotype. Rare and deleterious single nucleotide or copy number variants were assessed by bioinformatic tools. ResultsWe identified 20 heterozygous pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) genetic variants in 17 of 102 patients (diagnostic yield = 16.7%). Three patients had more than one P/LP genetic alteration. Most of the findings were in genes associated with the growth plate differentiation: IHH (n = 4), SHOX (n = 3), FGFR3 (n = 2), NPR2 (n = 2), ACAN (n = 2), and COL2A1 (n = 1) or involved in the RAS/MAPK pathway: NF1 (n = 2), PTPN11 (n = 1), CBL (n = 1), and BRAF (n = 1). None of these patients had clinical findings to guide a candidate gene approach. The diagnostic yield was higher among children with severe short stature (35% vs 12.2% for height SDS <= or > -3; P = 0.034). The genetic diagnosis had an impact on clinical management for four children. ConclusionA multigene sequencing approach can determine the genetic etiology of short stature in up to one in six children with ISS, removing the term idiopathic from their clinical classification.

De Lima- Exome Sequencing Identifies Multiple Genetic Diagnoses in Children with Syndromic Growth Disorders(2024) REZENDE, Raissa Carneiro; ANDRADE, Nathalia Liberatoscioli Menezes de; DANTAS, Naiara Castelo Branco; CELLIN, Laurana de Polli; KREPISCHI, Ana Cristina Victorino; LERARIO, Antonio Marcondes; JORGE, Alexander Augusto de LimaObjective To evaluate the presence of multiple genetic diagnoses in syndromic growth disorders. Study design We carried out a cross-sectional study to evaluate 115 patients with syndromic tall (n = 24) or short stature (n = 91) of unknown cause from a tertiary referral center for growth disorders. Exome sequencing was performed to assess germline single nucleotide, InDel, and copy number variants. All variants were classified according to ACMG/AMP guidelines. The main outcome measured was the frequency of multiple genetic diagnoses in a cohort of children with syndromic growth disorders. Results The total diagnostic yield of the cohort was 54.8% (63/115). Six patients had multiple genetic diagnoses (tall stature group = 2; short stature group = 4). The proportion of multiple diagnoses within total cases was 5.2% (6/ 115), and within solved cases was 9.5% (6/63). No characteristics were significantly more frequent when compared with patients with single or multiple genetic findings. Among patients with multiple diagnoses, 3 had syndromes with overlapping clinical features, and the others had syndromes with distinct phenotypes. Conclusion Recognition of multiple genetic diagnoses as a possibility in complex cases of syndromic growth disorders opens a new perspective on treatment and genetic counseling for affected patients, defying the medical common sense of trying to fit all findings into one diagnosis.

S.; DANTAS, Naiara C. B.; ANDRADE, Nathalia L. M.; BERTOLA, Debora R.; MALAQUIAS, Alexsandra C.; JORGE, Alexander A. L.Introduction: Pubertal delay is described as one of the clinical features in Noonan syndrome (NS) and it may be one of the factors causing short adult height in those patients. The present study aimed at characterizing pubertal development in NS and identifying pubertal delay predictors. Methods: We analyzed 133 individuals with a molecular diagnosis of NS and clinical puberty evaluation. We characterized delayed puberty as pubertal onset after 12 years in girls and 13.5 years in boys, according to parameters of the Brazilian population. To investigate its predictors, we correlated the age at onset of puberty with several characteristics and genotype in a multilevel regression model. For comprehending pubertal development in NS, we assessed age and anthropometric measures at each Tanner stage and adult age. Results: The mean age at puberty onset for girls was 11.9 +/- 1.9 years and for boys, 12.5 +/- 1.7 years, significantly later than the Brazilian population (p = 0.025; p < 0.001). Girls (49.1%) presented delayed puberty more frequently than boys (27.9%, p = 0.031). Body mass index standard deviation scores (SDS) and insulin growth factor 1 SDS at puberty onset significantly predicted later puberty entry. Height gain from the onset of puberty to adult height was lower in children with pubertal delay. Conclusion: Pubertal delay is characteristically found in children with NS, more frequently in females. The low weight of patients with NS could modulate the age of puberty, just as the increase in overweight/obesity in the general population has shown an effect on reducing the age of onset of puberty.

B.; FUNARI, Mariana F. A.; LERARIO, Antonio M.; ANDRADE, Nathalia L. M.; REZENDE, Raissa C.; CELLIN, Laurana P.; ALVES, Cresio; CRISOSTOMO, Lindiane G.; ARNHOLD, Ivo J. P.; MENDONCA, Berenice; SCALCO, Renata C.; JORGE, Alexander A. L.Objective Our study aimed to assess the impact of genetic modifiers on the significant variation in phenotype that is observed in individuals with SHOX deficiency, which is the most prevalent monogenic cause of short stature.Design and methods We performed a genetic analysis in 98 individuals from 48 families with SHOX deficiency with a target panel designed to capture the entire SHOX genomic region and 114 other genes that modulate growth and/or SHOX action. We prioritized rare potentially deleterious variants.Results We did not identify potential deleterious variants in the promoter or intronic regions of the SHOX genomic locus. In contrast, we found eight heterozygous variants in 11 individuals from nine families in genes with a potential role as genetic modifiers. In addition to a previously described likely pathogenic (LP) variant in CYP26C1 observed in two families, we identified LP variants in PTHLH and ACAN, and variants of uncertain significance in NPR2, RUNX2, and TP53 in more affected individuals from families with SHOX deficiency. Families with a SHOX alteration restricted to the regulatory region had a higher prevalence of a second likely pathogenic variant (27%) than families with an alteration compromising the SHOX coding region (2.9%, P = .04).Conclusion In conclusion, variants in genes related to the growth plate have a potential role as genetic modifiers of the phenotype in individuals with SHOX deficiency. In individuals with SHOX alterations restricted to the regulatory region, a second alteration could be critical to determine the penetrance and expression of the phenotype.
