Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid (AT/RT) is a rare and highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). It is most commonly found in children less than 5 years of age and is associated with inactivation of loss of function of SMARCB1/INI1. An experimental model for AT/RT is necessary to develop new and effective therapies. We established a patient-derived new cell line (MZ611ATRT), which showed loss of BAF-47. MZ611ATRT genetically features somatic heterozygous deletion of SMARCB1 and single nucleotide deletion of the residual allele, exon 5 ([c.541delC]), resulting in a stop codon at codon 954 by frameshift. We assessed the RNA-sequencing data of the other two AT/RT cell lines with forced expression of SMARCB1 available from public databases. We found SMARCB1 overexpression significantly down-regulates the expression of a group of enzymes related to cholesterol biosynthesis. Simvastatin was highly sensitive against MZ611ATRT cells and induced apoptosis (IC50 was 3.098 µM for MZ611ATRT, 41.88uM for U-87 MG, 23.34uM for IOMM-Lee, and 18.12uM for U-251 MG.). Pathways involved in cholesterol biosynthesis may be new targets for adjuvant therapy of AT/RT.

Newborn screening(NBS)is carried out at public expense for approximately 20 diseases in Japan; however, each prefecture independently conducts additional NBS including several more diseases. Miyazaki Prefecture has optionally included inborn errors of immunity(IEIs)and lysosomal storage diseases since April 2020. We herein report a baby who suffered from B-cell deficiency(BCD)that was identified by NBS conducted in Miyazaki Prefecture. The baby had low levels of kappa-deleting recombination excision circles(KRECs)and was referred to our hospital. Several measurements of CD19-positive B cells in the peripheral blood consistently showed values <2%, leading to the diagnosis of BCD. Periodic immunoglobulin replacement successfully led to a healthy outcome without serious infection developing over a period of more than 17 months. This is the first case of BCD identified by NBS and that underwent prophylactic gamma globulin replacement in Japan. Severe combined immunodeficiency disease and BCD are IEIs known to cause severe sequelae, and patients sometimes die without a correct diagnosis being made; therefore, their early diagnosis and early treatment are extremely important. The inclusion of IEIs in NBS has proven to be cost-effective all over the world. In the future, it is expected that IEIs will be covered by NBS public funds in Japan as well.

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) is a fatal hyperinflammation syndrome arising from the genetic defect of perforin-mediated cytolysis. Curative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is needed before development of central nervous system (CNS) disease. We studied treatment outcomes of 13 patients (FHLH2 n = 11, FHLH3 n = 2) consecutively diagnosed from 2011 to 2022 by flow cytometric screening for non-myeloablative HCT in a regional treatment network in Kyushu, Japan. One patient with a novel PRF1 variant escaped screening, but all patients with FHLH2 reached diagnosis and 8 of them received HCT until 3 and 9 months of age, respectively. The earliest HCT was conducted 65 days after birth. Three pretransplant deaths occurred in newborns with liver failure at diagnosis. Ten posttransplant patients have remained disease-free, 7 of whom had no neurological involvement. Time from first etoposide infusion to HCT was shorter in patients without CNS disease or bleeding than in patients with those factors (median [range] days: 62 [50–81] vs. 122 [89–209], p = 0.016). Six of 9 unrelated patients had a PRF1 c.1090_1091delCT variant. These results suggest that the critical times to start etoposide and HCT are within 3 months after birth and during etoposide control, respectively. Newborn screening may increase the percentage of disease-free survivors without complications.

Novel splice site variant of TMEM38B in osteogenesis imperfecta type XIV Reviewed

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones. In this case report, we describe a patient who suffered from OI type XIV with a novel splice site variant in the TMEM38B gene. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between the phenotype of OI type XIV and this variant.

The characteristics and prognosis of Japanese children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who fail to achieve complete remission after remission induction chemotherapy (i.e., experience induction failure) are poorly understood. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed data of patients enrolled in Japanese clinical trials for newly diagnosed ALL between 1996 and 2009. Among 4956 participants, 89 (1.8%) experienced induction failure. With a 6.0-year median follow-up, the 5-year overall survival rate of the entire cohort was 43.0% ± 5.5%. Survival rates did not differ between patients with B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) and T-cell ALL (T-ALL). In multivariate analysis, day 15 M3 marrow (bone marrow blast count ≥ 25%) was significantly correlated with poorer survival in the whole or BCP-ALL cohorts. In T-ALL, age < 6 years was significantly associated with poor survival. However, due to the small sample size, this correlation must be further investigated. Most T-ALL and BCR-ABL-positive BCP-ALL patients underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Survival rates did not differ between BCR-ABL-negative BCP-ALL patients who did and did not undergo allo-SCT, possibly due to the inclusion of lower-risk patients in the latter group. In conclusion, the induction failure rate and survival after diagnosis of induction failure in our study were comparable to previously reported figures.
