Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection
Gene: ALDH18A1
AD (606603)/AR (219150) cutis laxa; rarely associated with aortic insufficiency or thin aortic valve. Dislocations; joint laxity; spinal curvature; thin translucent lax skin are all features which overlap some of the MFS/EDS spectrum of syndromes.Created: 25 Mar 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Publications support role for this gene in a cutis laxa phenotype, e.g. Fischer-Zernsak et al (Am J Hum Genet 2015 97:483 PMID:26320891) which shows 3 different de novo variants affecting the same nucleotide in 8 families with a progeroid presentation of AD cutis laxa. No aortic involvement so insufficient to justify inclusion on panel unless overlapping features with relevant diseases is considered.Created: 25 Mar 2019, 4:27 p.m.
Mode of inheritance
BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Not on the Inherited Cardiac Condition Genes panel for Familial aortic anuerysm reported in: Development of a Comprehensive Sequencing Assay for Inherited Cardiac Condition Genes, Pua et al, Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, online Feb 2016 (doi:10.1007/s12265-016-9673-5). The panel contains disease-causing, putatively pathogenic, research and phenocopy genes.Created: 19 Feb 2016, 10:52 a.m.
No association with aneurysm formation. From GeneReviews: ALDH18A1-related cutis laxa (ARCL3A) (OMIM 219150). A syndrome of IUGR, cataracts, postnatal growth failure and developmental delay with cutis laxa has been described in two pedigrees. Joint hyperlaxity is apparently a common feature. This syndrome falls within de Barsy syndrome spectrum. It is associated with pathogenic variants in ALDH18A1, previously known as P5CS, encoding delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) [Baumgartner et al 2000, Baumgartner et al 2005, Bicknell et al 2008].Created: 11 Feb 2016, 1:10 p.m.
