Abstract | The "22q11.2 duplication" is a variably penetrant copy number variant (CNV) associated with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and epilepsy. Here, we report on pathogenic "HUWE1" and "KIF1A" mutations in two severely affected ASD/ID participants carrying a 22q11.2 duplication. Based on previous studies, this CNV was originally considered as disease-causing. Yet, owing to their clinical severity, the participants were further investigated by next generation sequencing and eventually found to carry pathogenic mutations in "HUWE1" and "KIF1A" respectively. We suggest giving consideration to additive effect of 22q11.2 duplication and pathogenic mutations when clinical presentation is either unusually severe or associated with atypical features. Caution should be exercised when delivering genetic counseling for variably penetrant CNVs, as uncertain penetrance of this CNV may lead to ignore additive pathogenic mutations. Systematic panel or exome sequencing of known ASD genes should be recommended when counseling families of patients carrying variably penetrant CNV. (As Provided). |
