Genome Sequencing in an Individual Presenting with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
Genes 2024 April 20
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by arthritis with poorly known causes, including monogenic disorders and multifactorial etiology. 22q11.2 proximal deletion syndrome is a multisystemic disease with over 180 manifestations already described. In this report, the authors describe a patient presenting with a short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, and dysmorphisms, who had an episode of polyarticular arthritis at the age of three years and eight months, resulting in severe joint limitations, and was later diagnosed with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Investigation through Whole Genome Sequencing revealed that he had no pathogenic or likely-pathogenic variants in both alleles of the MIF gene or in genes associated with monogenic arthritis ( LACC1 , LPIN2 , MAFB , NFIL3 , NOD2 , PRG4 , PRF1 , STX11 , TNFAIP3 , TRHR , UNC13DI ). However, the patient presented 41 risk polymorphisms for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Thus, in the present case, arthritis seems coincidental to 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, probably caused by a multifactorial etiology. The association of the MIF gene in individuals previously described with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and 22q11.2 deletion seems unlikely since it is located in the distal and less-frequently deleted region of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
