Progeroid disorders make up a heterogeneous group of very rare hereditary diseases characterized by clinical signs that often mimic physiological aging in a premature manner. Apart from Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, one of the bestinvestigated progeroid disorders, a wide spectrum of other premature aging phenotypes exist, which differ significantly in their clinical presentation and molecular pathogenesis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based approaches have made it feasible to determine the molecular diagnosis in the early stages of a disease. Nevertheless, a broad clinical knowledge on these disorders and their associated symptoms is still fundamental for a comprehensive patient management and for the interpretation of variants of unknown significance from NGS data sets. This review provides a detailed overview on characteristic clinical features and underlying molecular genetics of well-known as well as only recently identified premature aging disorders and also highlights novel findings towards future therapeutic options. K E Y W O R D S characteristic clinical features, hereditary, premature aging, progeroid disorders 1 | INTRODUCTION Aging is a general biological phenomenon that affects all human beings and results in a functional decline of physiological systems accompanied by an increased risk for chronic ailments with advancing chronological age. 1,2 At the molecular level, aging is for example associated with genomic instability, loss of heterochromatin, and the accumulation of macromolecular damage leading to reduced (stem) cell function and tissue regeneration. 3 Progeroid disorders show many clinical features of aging-associated pathologies and signs similar to physiological aging; however, they occur at earlier ages and often progress rapidly. In many aspects progeria therefore represents a timelapse form of aging. Premature aging processes are mostly segmental in that they involve one or more organs, but do not exhibit all aspects associated with physiological aging. Premature aging signs include, among others, alopecia, hair graying, lipodystrophy, osteoporosis, joint contractures, cataract, hearing loss, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and malignancies at an early age. In addition to these typical aging phenotypes, progeria patients may also present with growth retardation, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. A more modular view of segmental premature aging syndromes hypothesizes that a cluster of symptoms appearing in several disorders might be due to a common underlying cause-for example, alopecia, osteoporosis and nail atrophy have been proposed to be related to telomere shortening. 4 Research into premature aging disorders aims at understanding the pathogenesis and to develop novel treatment strategies, but also intends to unshadow physiological aging processes since premature aging phenotypes mirror many of the clinical aspects of physiological aging. 3 One of the best-known premature aging disorders is the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndr...

A biallelic ANTXR1 variant expands the anthrax toxin receptor associated phenotype to tooth agenesis

Tooth development is regulated by multiple genetic pathways, which ultimately drive the complex interactions between the oral epithelium and mesenchyme. Disruptions at any time point during this process may lead to failure of tooth development, also known as tooth agenesis (TA). TA is a common craniofacial abnormality in humans and represents the failure to develop one or more permanent teeth. Many genes and potentially subtle variants in these genes contribute to the TA phenotype. We report the clinical and genetic impact of a rare homozygous ANTXR1 variant (c.1312C>T), identified by whole exome sequencing (WES), in a consanguineous Turkish family with TA. Mutations in ANTXR1 have been associated with GAPO (growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy) syndrome and infantile hemangioma, however no clinical characteristics associated with these conditions were observed in our study family. We detected the expression of Antxr1 in oral and dental tissues of developing mouse embryos, further supporting a role for this gene in tooth development. Our findings implicate ANTXR1 as a candidate gene for isolated TA, suggest the involvement of specific hypomorphic alleles, and expand the previously known ANTXR1-associated phenotypes.

GAPO syndrome is a very rare disorder characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia and progressive optic atrophy. It is caused by biallelic mutations in the ANTXR1 gene. Herein, we describe the clinical and molecular findings of seven new patients with GAPO syndrome. Our patients presented with the characteristic clinical features of the syndrome except for one patient who did not display total alopecia till the age of two years. Strikingly, optic atrophy and glaucoma were observed in all patients and one patient showed keratopathy in addition. Moreover, craniosynstosis was an unusual associated finding in one patient. Mutational analysis of ANTXR1 gene identified five novel homozygous mutations including two frameshift, two splice site and a large intragenic deletion of exon 3. Our results reinforce the clinical characteristics of the syndrome, expand the mutational spectrum and provide more insights into the role of the ANTXR1 protein in the regulation of extracellular matrix.
