Clinical features and genetic diagnosis of genomic imprinting disorders

Abstract

Aim: Genomic imprinting disorders are a group of disorders caused by a parental imprinting mechanism that disappears with various genetic alterations. The most common of these disorders are Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and Silver-Russell syndrome. The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze the clinical manifestations and genetic outcomes of patients with genomic imprinting disorders. Materials and Methods: Our study included 28 patients diagnosed with imprinting disorder between 2021 and 2024. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples obtained from the patients and methylation-specific MLPA was performed. Results: In the present study, 28 patients were included for analysis. Thirteen patients were diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), eight with Angelman syndrome, three with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, and four with Silver-Russell syndrome. The results of genetic tests were analyzed, revealing a deletion in the chromosome 15q11 region in six of the 13 patients with PWS and a PWS-specific methylation pattern in seven of them. In the cohort of patients diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, seven cases were found to have a deletion in the chromosome 15q11 region, while one patient exhibited an Angelman syndrome-specific methylation pattern. H19 hypomethylation was identified in all patients with Silver-Russell syndrome, and H19 hypermethylation and KCNQ1OT1 hypomethylation were observed in all patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. An evaluation of the clinical findings of the patients revealed the presence of selective IgA deficiency, retinal dystrophy, and hearing loss in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, which has not been previously reported. Furthermore, the prevalence of congenital cardiac anomalies and sleep apnea was found to be higher in this patient group compared to the literature. Conclusion: The intricate epigenetic mechanisms underlying genomic imprinting disorders, the variability in patient presentations, and the subtlety of the findings contribute to the complexity of the diagnostic process. We believe that our study will contribute to the literature in terms of rare clinical manifestations and genetic consequences of imprinting disorders.
