Abstract
Oral-facial-digital type 1 syndrome (OFD1; OMIM 311200) belongs to the expanding group of disorders ascribed to ciliary dysfunction. With the aim of contributing to the understanding of the role of primary cilia in the central nervous system (CNS), we performed a thorough characterization of CNS involvement observed in this disorder.
A cohort of 117 molecularly diagnosed OFD type I patients was screened for the presence of neurological symptoms and/or cognitive/behavioral abnormalities on the basis of the available information supplied by the collaborating clinicians. Seventy-one cases showing CNS involvement were further investigated through neuroimaging studies and neuropsychological testing.
Seventeen patients were molecularly diagnosed in the course of this study and five of these represent new mutations never reported before. Among patients displaying neurological symptoms and/or cognitive/behavioral abnormalities, we identified brain structural anomalies in 88.7%, cognitive impairment in 68%, and associated neurological disorders and signs in 53% of cases. The most frequently observed brain structural anomalies included agenesis of the corpus callosum and neuronal migration/organisation disorders as well as intracerebral cysts, porencephaly and cerebellar malformations.
Our results support recent published findings indicating that CNS involvement in this condition is found in more than 60% of cases. Our findings correlate well with the kind of brain developmental anomalies described in other ciliopathies. Interestingly, we also described specific neuropsychological aspects such as reduced ability in processing verbal information, slow thought process, difficulties in attention and concentration, and notably, long-term memory deficits which may indicate a specific role of OFD1 and/or primary cilia in higher brain functions.

Seventy-one cases showing CNS involvement were further investigated through neuroimaging studies and neuropsychological testing.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Seventeen patients were molecularly diagnosed in the course of this study and five of these represent new mutations never reported before. Among patients displaying neurological symptoms and/or cognitive/behavioral abnormalities, we identified brain structural anomalies in 88.7%, cognitive impairment in 68%, and associated neurological disorders and signs in 53% of cases. The most frequently observed brain structural anomalies included agenesis of the corpus callosum and neuronal migration/organisation disorders as well as intracerebral cysts, porencephaly and cerebellar malformations.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Our results support recent published findings indicating that CNS involvement in this condition is found in more than 60% of cases. Our findings correlate well with the kind of brain developmental anomalies described in other ciliopathies. Interestingly, we also described specific neuropsychological aspects such as reduced ability in processing verbal information, slow thought process, difficulties in attention and concentration, and notably, long-term memory deficits which may indicate a specific role of OFD1 and/or primary cilia in higher brain functions.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>OFD1</kwd><kwd>Ciliopathies</kwd><kwd>Neuroimaging</kwd><kwd>Neurodevelopmental phenotype</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>Background</title><p>Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles protruding from the surface of most mammalian cells, including neuronal cells, which exert mainly sensory functions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>]. Human disorders associated with ciliary dysfunction are called “ciliopathies” and present phenotypes that vary from renal and hepatic cystic disease to neurologic phenotypes, disorders of laterality, obesity, and skeletal disorders. In particular, central nervous system (CNS) involvement includes intellectual disability and a wide range of brain structural abnormalities [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>].</p><p>To date various ciliopathies have been identified, including pleiotropic disorders such as the OFD type 1 (OFD1), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRDs), Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>].</p><p>OFD type 1 syndrome (OFD1; OMIM 311200) is a rare X-linked-dominant male-lethal developmental disorder which was first described by Papillon-Leage and Psaume in 1954 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]. The disease belongs to the heterogeneous group of disorders known as oral–facial–digital syndromes (OFDs) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>]. OFD1 is characterized by malformations of the face, oral cavity, and digits with a high degree of intrafamilial and interfamilial phenotypic variability possibly due to X chromosome inactivation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. CNS involvement is reported in 60% of cases and includes brain structural abnormalities, intellectual disability and/or selective cognitive impairment. Renal cystic disease is reported in the majority of cases occurring in patients older than 18 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]. OFD type 1 syndrome is caused by mutations in the <italic>Cxorf5</italic> transcript, subsequently named <italic>OFD1</italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>]. To date, 130 different mutations (9 genomic deletions and 121 point mutations, mostly represented by frameshifts resulting in truncating forms of the protein) have been identified in OFD type 1 cases. Over 70% of patients represent sporadic cases, and no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has been established (reviewed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>] and [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]). Interestingly OFD1 has also been found mutated in a X-linked recessive intellectual disability syndrome comprising macrocephaly and ciliary dysfunction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>], in X-linked Joubert syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>], and more recently in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>]. Retinitis pigmentosa is not commonly found in OFD type 1 as often as the recurrent respiratory tract infections described in Budny et al. On the contrary there are significant similarities between the CNS phenotype described in JSRDs and OFD type 1 (see discussion). To date no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established concerning the involvement of OFD1 in these different genetic conditions.</p><p>The <italic>OFD1</italic> gene encodes a centrosomal/basal body protein localized at the base of primary cilia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. Characterization of <italic>in vitro</italic> (<italic>Ofd1</italic>-silenced cells and ES cells depleted for the <italic>Ofd1</italic> transcript) and <italic>in vivo</italic> (null mutants) models demonstrated that, similar to what is described for other ciliary proteins, inactivation of the <italic>Ofd1</italic> transcript is associated with defective Sonic hedgehog (Shh) and canonical Wnt signaling pathways [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>]. Both pathways are critical for the proper development of the CNS. Functional studies have demonstrated that OFD1 has a crucial role in the formation of primary cilia, thus ascribing this pleiotropic disease to the growing number of disorders associated with dysfunction of primary cilia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>].</p><p>Previous studies aimed at defining the neuropathological aspects of OFD1 syndrome were based on a collection of cases in which a molecular diagnosis was not available [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>]. Recent data reported both evaluation of brain MRIs from seven molecularly diagnosed OFD1 patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>] and a role for Ofd1 in dorso-ventral patterning and axoneme elongation during embryonic brain development in the mouse [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>]. Our larger cohort case study adds additional information towards a detailed characterization of the different types of CNS involvement observed in OFD1 patients.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec><title>Collection of patients</title><p>A cohort of 117 female cases with a clinical and molecular diagnosis of OFD type 1 syndrome was assembled through an international effort. Most patients come from Europe (>65%) and North America (>19%), and the remaining from Australia, the Middle East and Asia. The majority of cases were Caucasians. Patients were assessed by clinicians at genetics centers worldwide and referred to the participating laboratories for mutation analysis of the <italic>OFD1</italic> gene. DNA or peripheral blood samples were accompanied by clinical data. The inclusion criteria were the presence of the Oral-facial-digital attributes characteristics of the OFD type 1 syndrome and, for the familial cases, the X-linked dominant-male lethal pattern of inheritance that is typical for OFD1.</p><p>The caring physicians evaluated this cohort of patients. On the basis of the available information supplied by the collaborating clinicians, we identified a selected cohort of seventy-one cases showing CNS involvement defined as any impairment of brain function (neurological symptoms, and/or cognitive/behavioral abnormalities) and/or structure (malformation/structural abnormalities) as evidenced on one hand by neurological examination, neuropsychological assessment, neurophysiological tests such as EEG and on the other by neuroimaging studies.</p><p>This selected cohort was further investigated through detailed neuroimaging studies as well as neurological examination.

The anterior fontanel was used as a window for standard coronal and sagittal planes, and in addition the whole brain was scanned to obtain a global view of the peri- and intraventricular areas and of the more superficial structures.</p><p>Post-mortem brain CT was performed with multislice spiral acquisition, while PM MRI included axial 3D ciss T2-w, 3D Flash T1-w, and Diffusion weighted (DW) sequences that were subsequently reconstructed on sagittal and coronal planes.</p><p>All supra- and infratentorial brain structures were evaluated on a qualitative basis, also for the lack of normal reference values in the paediatric age group.</p><p>Of note, it should be emphasized that the definition of CT is quite limited compared to MRI, particularly for the structures of the posterior fossa.</p></sec><sec><title>Neurological and neuropsychological assessment</title><p>For each patient an accurate neurological examination protocol that included all the standard procedures was carried out.</p><p>The protocol proposed for developmental and neuropsychological assessment consisted of a battery of tests tailored to the patients’ age, cognitive level and degree of cooperation. Developmental assessment was carried out by means of the Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS) for children aged 0–8 years, including six sub-scales: locomotor, personal-social, language, eye and hand coordination, performance and practical reasoning. Level of cognitive ability was tested with the Wechsler scales, namely the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC) or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), according to the [patient] child’s chronological age. In addition to the traditional Verbal IQ (VIQ), Performance IQ (PIQ), and Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) scores, four new indexes were introduced to study cognitive functions in further detail: the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), the Perceptual Organization Index (POI), the Freedom from Distractibility Index (FDI), and the Processing Speed Index (PSI) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>].</p><p>Intellectual disability was classified on the basis of the FSIQ score according to the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR): mild (50–69), moderate (35–49), severe (20–34), profound (below 20); a FSIQ between 70 and 84 indicated borderline intellectual functioning [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>].</p><p>Motor and visual coordination was tested with the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>].</p><p>Visual/verbal learning and memory were tested with the Test of Memory and Learning (TOMAL) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>].

OFD type 1</title><p>Based on available clinical information we selected all molecularly diagnosed OFD1 cases showing neurological symptoms and/or signs or cognitive/behavioral abnormalities (our selected cohort of seventy-one out of 117, 60,68%). The age ranged from 3 to 61 years, with the majority of patients being <18 years of age. Two cases were represented by aborted foetuses, and in these only neuropathological findings were available. The remaining patients were further investigated through a neuroimaging, neurological and neuropsychological protocol that was sent to all centers participating in the study. Assessment of younger children less than 4 years of age was performed using appropriate developmental scales such as the GMDS (see methods). These studies allowed for the identification of a wide spectrum of CNS involvement including structural abnormalities, neurological symptoms and signs and cognitive impairment.

Eight patients among those subjected to CT scans had normal findings. Sixty-three cases (88.73%), including 42 patients subjected to MRI and 21 subjected to CT scans, showed one or more structural anomalies, namely: 45 cases displayed corpus callosum defects (agenesis or hypoplasia, ACC); arachnoid cysts were observed in 25 cases; 23 cases presented malformations of cortical development (MCD) (neuronal migration/organisation disorders, pachygyria, gray matter heterotopias, cortical dysplasia, polymicrogyria and schizencephaly); cerebellar developmental anomalies (CDAs) (cerebellar hypoplasia, isolated or associated with Dandy-Walker Malformation [DWM], or dysplasia) were described in 20 cases (DWM, in particular, was observed in 5 patients); cerebral atrophy and/or hypoplasia were detected in 9 cases; hydrocephalus or ventriculomegaly was observed in 8 cases; porencephaly was recognized in 3 cases, brain stem anomalies (hypoplastic and/or dysmorphic pons and/or medulla) in 2 cases, and hypothalamic hamartoma was found in one case. Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref> summarizes these findings. Some patients displayed a more complex pattern of malformations (including agenesis of the corpus callosum, polymicrogyria, intracranial cysts, ponto-cerebellar hypoplasia and subependymal and subcortical heterotopia), while only mild anomalies could be detected in other cases, thus indicating a great degree of variability in the CNS involvement observed in these cases (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>).</p><table-wrap position="float" id="T2"><label>Table 2</label><caption><p>Central Nervous System (CNS) structural abnormalities in our cohort of patients</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups" border="1"><colgroup><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col></colgroup><thead valign="top"><tr><th align="left"><bold><italic>CNS structural abnormalities: type</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>MRI/p.m.*</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>eco/CT</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>Tot.

Neurological impairment in patients with CNS structural abnormalities included motor delay (mild, moderate or severe) present in 15 cases, epilepsy - both generalized and focal seizures (infantile spasms, absences, tonic-clonic fits, drop attacks, focal motor seizures) – reported in 9 cases, hypotonia present in 5 cases (truncal in two cases and both truncal and limb in three cases), cranial nerve disorders in 5 cases (affecting, oculomotor and/or swallowing nerves), sensorineural hearing loss in 4 cases, spasticity of bilateral lower extremities in 3 cases, motor coordination deficits - both postural static and dynamic (gait ataxia ) – in 2 patients, hemiparesis in 2 cases and nystagmus in 2 cases. Patients without CNS structural abnormalities only showed either mild neurologic signs, such as motor coordination disorders (1 case) and/or mild motor delay (2 cases), or cognitive deficits (intellectual disability or selective disorders, see below). Epilepsy in one patient of the latter group may have the characteristics of a functional, not structural, disorder.</p><table-wrap position="float" id="T3"><label>Table 3</label><caption><p>Neurological disorders in our cohort of patients</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups" border="1"><colgroup><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col></colgroup><thead valign="top"><tr><th align="left"><bold><italic>Neurological disorders: type</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>Patients with CNS structural abnormalities </italic></bold><bold><italic>% (n°)</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>Patients without CNS structural abnormalities </italic></bold><bold><italic>% (n°)</italic></bold></th><th align="left"><bold><italic>Total number of patients </italic></bold><bold><italic>% (n°)</italic></bold></th></tr></thead><tbody valign="top"><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Motor delay</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">24.6 (15/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">25 (2/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">24.64 (17/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Epilepsy</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">14.75 (9/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">12.5 (1/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">14.49 (10/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Hypotonia</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">8.2 (5/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">7.25 (5/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Cranial nerve disorders</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">8.2 (5/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">7.25 (5/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Sensorineural hearing loss</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">6.56 (4/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">5.8 (4/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Spasticity</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">4.92 (3/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">4.35 (3/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Motor coordination deficits</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">3.28 (2/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">12.5 (1/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">4.35 (3/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Hemiparesis</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">3.28 (2/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">2.9 (2/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><italic>Nystagmus</italic><hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">3.28 (2/61)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">0 (0/8)<hr></hr></td><td align="left" valign="bottom">2.9 (2/69)<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left"><bold><italic>Total</italic></bold></td><td align="left"><bold>55.74 (34/61)</bold></td><td align="left"><bold>37.5 (3/8)</bold></td><td align="left"><bold>53.62 (37/69)</bold></td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></sec><sec><title>Neuropsychological assessment</title><p>A protocol for developmental and neuropsychological assessments of the 69 patients showing signs of CNS involvement (see above) was proposed to the participating centers. Twenty-two cases were reported to have normal cognitive levels on the basis of normal academic performances and/or normal adaptive functioning. Two cases were reported to have normal cognitive levels on the basis of specific neuropsychological testing. Forty-seven cases were referred as mentally impaired; for twenty-four of these cases, the assessment was based only on clinical observation, while for the other twenty-three patients, specific neurodevelopmental and/or neuropsychological testing was applied. In particular, four cases (ID50, ID13, ID39 and ID6) underwent a complete protocol assessing cognitive levels, and selective cognitive abilities (memory, learning and language). A complete description of three of these cases is reported below. The neuropsychological data collected revealed that, 40/69 cases (58%) showed a global intellectual disability (which were mostly mild, but moderate-severe deficits were also identified), and 7/69 cases (10%) demonstrated with selective cognitive impairment (defined on the basis of a normal full scale IQ) such as language disorders, learning difficulties or memory problems. Our results indicate that >68% of OFD1 cases from our selected cohort present some form of cognitive impairment. If we consider the entire cohort our data indicate that 40.8% of patients present some form of intellectual disability (47/115). Purely psychiatric disorders were quite rare: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was found in two patients (one with and one without CNS anomalies) and Bipolar Disorder was observed in only one patient displaying CNS abnormalities.</p><p>Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T4">4</xref> summarizes the cognitive/psychiatric defects observed both in patients displaying CNS structural anomalies and in those with normal neuroimaging findings. Isolated selective disorders were observed in 3/61 patients (4.92%) of the first group and in 4/8 (50%) patients of the second group. As expected moderate/severe intellectual disability was detected only in patients with CNS structural abnormalities (7/61, 11%).</p><table-wrap position="float" id="T4"><label>Table

This percentage rises up to 88.7% in our selected cohort of 71 cases subjected to neuroimaging studies and could further increase if modern brain neuroimaging techniques would be carried out also in asymptomatic/mildly-affected patients.

In particular ACC, MCDs, CDAs, and intracerebral cysts were the most frequently observed malformations. However, it is important to underscore that given the quite limited definition of CT compared to MRI, particularly for the structures of the posterior fossa, a percentage of missed structural brain anomalies (related to the cases who did not undergo MRI studies) should be taken into account.</p><p>Taken together, all the above mentioned malformations might be related to disorders of cellular migration and proliferation in the developing brain.</p><p>We questioned whether the presence of structural brain anomalies could be significantly associated with cognitive and/or neurological impairment. Only intellectual disability as a whole (mild, moderate or severe) appeared to be more frequently associated with brain structural anomalies, while selective neuropsychological defects (language disorders, learning disorders, memory deficits) behaved independently. As expected, a higher prevalence of neurologic signs was found in patients with brain malformations. MCDs and CDAs could represent a possible neurobiological basis for the cognitive impairment observed in OFD type 1 syndrome. This observation is based on data demonstrating that neuronal migration defects result in neurological impairment, including in intractable epilepsy and intellectual disability [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">42</xref>], and also on the accumulated evidence on the role of the cerebellum in the context of child development and learning processes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">43</xref>].</p><p>Mutations in the OFD1 gene have also been reported in an X-linked recessive intellectual disability syndrome comprising macrocephaly and ciliary dysfunction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>], Joubert (JBTS10) syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>] and in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>].</p><p>Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD) spectrum is primarily defined by the presence of a specific neuroimaging hallmark- the “molar tooth sign” (MTS)-resulting from a specific midbrain-hindbrain malformation (thickened, elongated and horizontally located superior cerebellar peduncles together with an abnormally deep interpeduncular fossa and vermian hypo-dysplasia) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">44</xref>]. Additional infratentorial and supratentorial neuroimaging findings reported in JSRDs include, for the first set enlargement of the posterior fossa and fourth ventricle, reduced or enlarged size of the cerebellar hemispheres and abnormal brain stem morphology. Supratentorial findings include migration disorders, callosal dysgenesis, ventriculomegaly and hippocampal malrotation. Encephaloceles, most often located in the occipital regions, have also been described. The cognitive phenotype is characterized by delayed language and motor skills. Mild to severe intellectual disability is often described, but exceptional cases may have borderline or even normal intelligence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">45</xref>].</p><p>MTS should also be considered the main diagnostic criterion for OFDVI [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">46</xref>]. Interestingly, two OFDVI patients were reported to have a homozygous mutation in <italic>TMEM216</italic>, a gene implicated in JSRD and Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">47</xref>], and a mutation in the <italic>OFD1</italic> transcript has been reported in an OFDVI case [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">48</xref>]. More recently a high frequency of mutations in C5ORF42 has been reported in OFDVI patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">49</xref>]. One out of the 71 OFD1 cases that we have analyzed displayed a typical MTS. The neurological features observed in OFD type 1 and JSRDs suggest that OFD1 can be considered an extension of the JSRD spectrum. OFD1, OFDVI and JSRDs could represent different levels of expression of the ciliary dysfunction in the brain.</p><p>The spectrum of CNS malformations in MKS ranges from total craniorachischisis to a partial agenesis of the corpus callosum. Neuropathological studies have shown prosencephalic dysgenesis, defects in midline formation, polymicrogyria, heterotopias, and neuroepithelial rosettes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>]. Neurodevelopmental defects in the form of more subtle brain tissue- and region-specific abnormalities are frequently reported in Bardet-Biedl (BBS) patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>]. As for the cognitive phenotype, a characteristic profile including low IQ, impaired fine motor skills, and decreased olfaction has been identified in BBS patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">52</xref>].</p><p>Our findings well correlate with the brain developmental anomalies described in ciliopathies. In addition, we describe the presence of characteristic features that have not been previously reported in OFD1 proven cases. We documented cerebellar developmental anomalies including rotation of the vermis, as well as segmental anomalies such as hypoplasia of the declive lobule or enlargement of the right biventer lobule and abnormal orientation of hemispheric folia and sulci. More interestingly, for the first time we report a peculiar dysplastic feature of the brainstem, characterized by the presence of abnormal protuberances. Jurich-Sekhar et al. recently described excess tissue in the brainstem of two JSRDs cases bearing mutations in <italic>OFD1</italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>]. However, the two patients did not display the obligatory hallmark of JSRDs, the MTS. This dysplastic abnormality may also reflect disturbances of patterning and cell migration related to neurodevelopmental functions of primary cilia.</p><p>Consistent with various neurological symptoms detected in ciliopathic patients, most cells in the brain (including neural progenitors and mature neurons, glial cells/astrocytes and ependymal cells) have primary cilia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">53</xref>]. These organelles have a definite role in brain development: brain patterning is controlled by morphogens such as Shh, Wnt and Fgf, which require primary cilia to effectively transduce their signals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">54</xref>]. Defective ciliary function resulting in impaired signal transduction might explain the severe malformations occurring in the early stages of brain development. In addition, ciliary proteins have been implicated in control of centrosome/centriole positioning possibly leading to abnormal neuronal migration early in development [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>]. Interestingly cilia have also been shown to orchestrate the coordinated migration and placement of postmitotic interneurons in the developing cerebral cortex [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">56</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>], Moreover OFD1 has been shown to play a role in the neuronal differentiation of embryonic stem cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">58</xref>].</p><p>Cognitive impairment in OFD1 syndrome also questions the role of primary cilia in more advanced brain function. Cilia are critical regulators of Shh signaling on postnatal precursor cells and participate in orchestrating postnatal forebrain development and stem/precursor cell maintenance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">59</xref>]. Impaired Shh signaling due to cilia dysfuction leads to defective hippocampal morphogenesis and dysregulation of mitotic activity in the mice’s postnatal brain [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">59</xref>], stressing the hippocampus as a target organ for CNS-related ciliopathic manifestations.</p><p>Interestingly, as far as neuropsychological aspects are concerned, some common traits can be isolated, namely a reduced ability in processing verbal information, a slow thought process, difficulties in attention and concentration, and notably, long-term memory deficits. Similar neuropsychological features associated with high percentage of hippocampal dysgenesis were reported in a cohort of patients with BBS syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">60</xref>]. Moreover, in Joubert syndrome, Poretti et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>] reports on difficulties in some executive functions as we found in our patient ID13. In the subset of patients for whom a detailed neuropsychological assessment was available no significant hippocampal abnormalities have been detected. Recent data obtained in mouse models show that hippocampal neurogenesis, in particular in the adult mouse, requires intact primary cilia. It has been reported that the neuronal primary cilia of the hippocampal dentate gyrus are the drivers of neurogenesis and memory formation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">62</xref>]. It would be beneficial to evaluate how deficient ciliary function affects learning and memory in patients, as adult hippocampal neurogenesis has a crucial role in memory, and newborn neurons of the dentate gyrus might be involved in pattern integration and pattern separation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>]. Evidence for involvement of cilia in higher brain functions is now available. Loss-of-function of the somatostatin receptor 3 (SSTR3), localized to cilia in the neocortex and hippocampus leads to impaired object recognition in mice, whereas the loss of other SSTRs, not found on cilia, does not [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">64</xref>]. This only happens in mature neurons inasmuch as SSTR3 is only evident in the brain post-natally [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusions</title><p>In conclusion our data support the finding that over 60% of OFD1 patients show neurodevelopmental defects including brain structural anomalies, cognitive impairment (borderline intelligence, mild to severe intellectual disability and selective cognitive defects), and associated neurological disorders and signs. Our data also revealed that cognitive impairment is observed in over 40% of cases and this percentage increases up to 88% in our selected cohort. On the basis of our results a full neurological, neuroimaging and neuropsychological evaluation is recommended to allow a better management of OFD type 1 patients. Our results expand our knowledge of CNS involvement in ciliopathies. Conditional inactivation of the <italic>Ofd1</italic> transcript in the murine hippocampus at different developmental stages and in adult brains will help in clarifying the role of Ofd1 and primary cilia in higher brain functions.</p></sec><sec><title>Abbreviations</title><p>ACC: Agenesis of the corpus callosum; ADHD: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; BBS: Bardet-Biedl syndrome; CBCL: Child behavior checklist; CDA: Cerebellar developmental anomalies; CNS: Central nervous system; CT: Computed tomography; DWM: Dandy-Walker Malformation; DSM-IV-TR: Diagnostic and statistic manual of mental disorders; FDI: Freedom from distractibility index; FSIQ: Full scale IQ; GMDS: Griffiths mental development scales; JBTS: Joubert syndrome; JSRD: Joubert syndrome related disorders; MCD: Malformation of cortical development; MKS: Meckel-Gruber syndrome; NMDs: Neuronal migration disorders; OFD: Oral-facial-digital; PIQ: Performance IQ; POI: Perceptual Organization Index; PSI: Processing Speed Index; QFMPSF: Semiquantitative fluorescent multiplex method; qPCR: Relative quantification by real-time PCR; VIQ: Verbal IQ; VCI: Verbal Comprehension Index; VMI: Visual-Motor-Integration; WPPSI: Wechsler Preschool and primary scale of intelligence; WISC: Wechsler intelligence scale for children-IV; WAIS: Wechsler adult intelligence scale.</p></sec><sec><title>Competing interest</title><p>The authors declare that they have no competing interests.</p></sec><sec><title>Authors’ contribution</title><p>EDG conceived the study, participated in its design and coordination and helped to draft the manuscript.
