Résumé
ARID1A/ARID1B haploinsufficiency leads to Coffin-Siris syndrome, duplications of ARID1A lead to a distinct clinical syndrome, whilst ARID1B duplications have not yet been linked to a phenotype. We collected patients with duplications encompassing ARID1A and ARID1B duplications. 16 ARID1A and 13 ARID1B duplication cases were included with duplication sizes ranging from 0.1-1.2 Mb(1-44 genes) for ARID1A and 0.9-10.3 Mb(2-101 genes) for ARID1B. Both groups shared features, with ARID1A patients having more severe intellectual disability, growth delay and congenital anomalies. DNA methylation analysis showed that ARID1A patients had a specific methylation pattern in blood, which differed from controls and from patients with ARID1A or ARID1B loss-of-function variants. ARID1B patients appeared to have a distinct methylation pattern, similar to ARID1A duplication patients, but further research is needed to validate these results. Five cases with duplications including ARID1A or ARID1B initially annotated as duplications of uncertain significance were evaluated using PhenoScore and DNA methylation re-analysis, resulting in the reclassification of two ARID1A and two ARID1B duplications as pathogenic. Our findings reveal that ARID1B duplications manifest a clinical phenotype and ARID1A duplications have a distinct episignature that overlaps with that of ARID1B duplications, providing further evidence for a distinct and emerging BAFopathy caused by whole gene duplication rather than haploinsufficiency.

CONCLUSIONS
Our findings reveal that ARID1B duplications manifest a clinical phenotype and ARID1A duplications have a distinct episignature that overlaps with that of ARID1B duplications, providing further evidence for a distinct and emerging BAFopathy caused by whole gene duplication rather than haploinsufficiency.
