Abstract

Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal-recessive ciliopathy representing one of the most frequent causes of kidney failure in childhood characterized by a broad clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Applied to one of the worldwide largest cohorts of patients with NPH, genetic analysis encompassing targeted and whole exome sequencing identified disease-causing variants in 600 patients from 496 families with a detection rate of 71%. Of 788 pathogenic variants, 40 known ciliopathy genes were identified. However, the majority of patients (53%) bore biallelic pathogenic variants in NPHP1. NPH-causing gene alterations affected all ciliary modules defined by structural and/or functional subdomains. Seventy six percent of these patients had progressed to kidney failure, of which 18% had an infantile form (under five years) and harbored variants affecting the Inversin compartment or intraflagellar transport complex A. Forty eight percent of patients showed a juvenile (5-15 years) and 34% a late-onset disease (over 15 years), the latter mostly carrying variants belonging to the Transition Zone module. Furthermore, while more than 85% of patients with an infantile form presented with extra-kidney manifestations, it only concerned half of juvenile and late onset cases. Eye involvement represented a predominant feature, followed by cerebellar hypoplasia and other brain abnormalities, liver and skeletal defects. The phenotypic variability was in a large part associated with mutation types, genes and corresponding ciliary modules with hypomorphic variants in ciliary genes playing a role in early steps of ciliogenesis associated with juvenile-to-late onset NPH forms. Thus, our data confirm a considerable proportion of late-onset NPH suggesting an underdiagnosis in adult chronic kidney disease.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 206572.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) We delineate a KMT2E-related neurodevelopmental disorder on the basis of 38 individuals in 36 families. This study includes 31 distinct heterozygous variants in KMT2E (28 ascertained from Matchmaker Exchange and three previously reported), and four individuals with chromosome 7q22.2-22.23 microdeletions encompassing KMT2E (one previously reported). Almost all variants occurred de novo, and most were truncating. Most affected individuals with protein-truncating variants presented with mild intellectual disability. One-quarter of individuals met criteria for autism. Additional common features include macrocephaly, hypotonia, functional gastrointestinal abnormalities, and a subtle facial gestalt. Epilepsy was present in about one-fifth of individuals with truncating variants and was responsive to treatment with anti-epileptic medications in almost all. More than 70% of the individuals were male, and expressivity was variable by sex; epilepsy was more common in females and autism more common in males. The four individuals with microdeletions encompassing KMT2E generally presented similarly to those with truncating variants, but the degree of developmental delay was greater. The group of four individuals with missense variants in KMT2E presented with the most severe developmental delays. Epilepsy was present in all individuals with missense variants, often manifesting as treatment-resistant infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Microcephaly was also common in this group. Haploinsufficiency versus gain-of-function or dominant-negative effects specific to these missense variants in KMT2E might explain this divergence in phenotype, but requires independent validation. Disruptive variants in KMT2E are an under-recognized cause of neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

Abstract

© 2019 American Society of Human Genetics The occurrence of non-epileptic hyperkinetic movements in the context of developmental epileptic encephalopathies is an increasingly recognized phenomenon. Identification of causative mutations provides an important insight into common pathogenic mechanisms that cause both seizures and abnormal motor control. We report bi-allelic loss-of-function CACNA1B variants in six children from three unrelated families whose affected members present with a complex and progressive neurological syndrome. All affected individuals presented with epileptic encephalopathy, severe neurodevelopmental delay (often with regression), and a hyperkinetic movement disorder. Additional neurological features included postnatal microcephaly and hypotonia. Five children died in childhood or adolescence (mean age of death: 9 years), mainly as a result of secondary respiratory complications. CACNA1B encodes the pore-forming subunit of the pre-synaptic neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel Cav2.2/N-type, crucial for SNARE-mediated neurotransmission, particularly in the early postnatal period. Bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in CACNA1B are predicted to cause disruption of Ca2+ influx, leading to impaired synaptic neurotransmission. The resultant effect on neuronal function is likely to be important in the development of involuntary movements and epilepsy. Overall, our findings provide further evidence for the key role of Cav2.2 in normal human neurodevelopment.

Abstract

Histone lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and demethylases (KDMs) underpin gene regulation. Here we demonstrate that variants causing haploinsufficiency of KMTs and KDMs are frequently encountered in individuals with developmental disorders. Using a combination of human variation databases and existing animal models, we determine 22 KMTs and KDMs as additional candidates for dominantly inherited developmental disorders. We show that KMTs and KDMs that are associated with, or are candidates for, dominant developmental disorders tend to have a higher level of transcription, longer canonical transcripts, more interactors, and a higher number and more types of post-translational modifications than other KMT and KDMs. We provide evidence to firmly associate KMT2C, ASH1L, and KMT5B haploinsufficiency with dominant developmental disorders. Whereas KMT2C or ASH1L haploinsufficiency results in a predominantly neurodevelopmental phenotype with occasional physical anomalies, KMT5B mutations cause an overgrowth syndrome with intellectual disability. We further expand the phenotypic spectrum of KMT2B-related disorders and show that some individuals can have severe developmental delay without dystonia at least until mid-childhood. Additionally, we describe a recessive histone lysine-methylation defect caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous KDM5B variants and resulting in a recognizable syndrome with developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, and camptodactyly. Collectively, these results emphasize the significance of histone lysine methylation in normal human development and the importance of this process in human developmental disorders. Our results demonstrate that systematic clinically oriented pathway-based analysis of genomic data can accelerate the discovery of rare genetic disorders.

Abstract

Familial hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) was first described in 1956; both autosomal dominant and recessive forms of inheritance have been reported. The chapter discusses three pieces of evidence which suggested that complement genes apart from the gene for factor H were involved in the pathogenesis of atypical HUS. Structurally, membrane cofactor protein (MCP) consists of four alternatively spliced isoforms that coexist on most cells. The extracellular domain is composed of four control protein modules (CCPs). Western blot, flow cytometry, cell surface labeling, and pulse-chase analysis all showed that the mutant protein was retained intracellularly. Noris et al. described a family in which two siblings were affected by HUS. Mutation screening in both revealed a heterozygous 2-bp deletion in MCP exon 7, which encodes CCP4. The functional effect of this mutation is similar to the deletion mutation and results in half of the normal level of cell surface expression of MCP. The two techniques most frequently used for mutation scanning are denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). DHPLC is based on heteroduplex analysis in which mutant and wild-type sequences present in a PCR product are heated and allowed to reanneal slowly. This results in the formation of two heteroduplexes and two homoduplexes. MLPA (multiplex ligationdependent probe amplification) is a relatively new method for detecting deletions and duplications in a simple two-stage procedure and gives dosage information for up to 45 exons in one test.

Abstract

Seckel syndrome (SCKL) is a rare disease with wide phenotypic heterogeneity. A locus (SCKL1) has been identified at 3q and another (SCKL2) at 18p, both in single kindreds afflicted with the syndrome. We report here a novel locus (SCKL3) at 14q by linkage analysis in 13 Turkish families. In total, 18 affected and 10 unaffected sibs were included in the study. Of the 10 informative families, nine with parental consanguinity and one reportedly nonconsanguineous but with two affected sibs, five were indicative of linkage to the novel locus. One of those families also linked to the SCKL1 locus. A consanguineous family with one affected sib was indicative of linkage to SCKL2. The novel gene locus SCKL3 is 1.18 cM and harbors ménage a trois 1, a gene with a role in DNA repair.

Abstract

Motivation : During the past 4 years, whole-exome sequencing has become a standard tool for finding rare variants causing Mendelian disorders. In that time, there has also been a proliferation of both sequencing platforms and approaches to analyse their output. This requires approaches to assess the performance of different methods. Traditionally, criteria such as comparison with microarray data or a number of known polymorphic sites have been used. Here we expand such approaches, developing a maximum likelihood framework and using it to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of whole-exome sequencing data. Results : Using whole-exome sequencing data for a panel of 19 individuals, we show that estimated sensitivity and specificity are similar to those calculated using microarray data as a reference. We explore the effect of frequency misspecification arising from using an inappropriately selected population and find that, although the estimates are affected, the rankings across procedures remain the same.

Abstract

Congenital cardiac defects represent the most common group of birth defects, affecting an estimated six per 1000 births. Genetic characterization of patients and families with cardiac defects has identified a number of genes required for heart development. Yet, despite the rapid pace of these advances, mutations affecting known genes still account for only a small fraction of congenital heart defects suggesting that many more genes and developmental mechanisms remain to be identified.In this study, we reviewed 1694 described cases of patients with cardiac defects who were determined to have a significant chromosomal imbalance (a deletion or duplication). The cases were collected from publicly available databases (DECIPHER, ISCA, and CHDWiki) and from recent publications. An additional 68 nonredundant cases were included from the University of Michigan. Cases with multiple chromosomal or whole chromosome defects (trisomy 13, 18, 21) were excluded, and cases with overlapping deletions and/or insertions were grouped to identify regions potentially involved in heart development.Seventy-nine chromosomal regions were identified in which 5 or more patients had overlapping imbalances. Regions of overlap were used to determine minimal critical domains most likely to contain genes or regulatory elements involved in heart development. This approach was used to refine the critical regions responsible for cardiac defects associated with chromosomal imbalances involving 1q24.2, 2q31.1, 15q26.3, and 22q11.2.The pattern of chromosomal imbalances in patients with congenital cardiac defects suggests that many loci may be involved in normal heart development, some with very strong and direct effects and others with less direct effects. Chromosomal duplication/deletion mapping will provide an important roadmap for genome-wide sequencing and genetic mapping strategies to identify novel genes critical for heart development.

Abstract

The velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) and DiGeorge sequence (DGS) have many similar phenotypic characteristics, suggesting that in some cases they share a common cause. DGS is known to be associated with monosomy for a region of chromosome 22q11, and DNA probes have been shown to detect these deletions even in patients with apparently normal chromosomes. Twelve patients with VCFS were examined and monosomy for a region of 22q11 was found in all patients. The DNA probes used in this study could not distinguish the VCFS locus and the DGS locus, indicating that the genes involved in these haploinsufficiencies are closely linked, and may be identical. The phenotypic variation of expression in VCFS and DGS may indicate that patients without the full spectrum of VCFS abnormalities but with some manifestations of the disorder may also have 22q11 deletions.

Abstract

Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a disorder of complement dysregulation. Because complement factor B (fB) carries the catalytic site of the alternative pathway convertase we examined it as both a potential candidate gene and modifier in the pathogenesis of aHUS. No factor B gene (BF) mutations were found in 20 patients with aHUS. There was no statistical difference between controls and aHUS patients in either BF allele or haplotype frequency. In conclusion, in this small series of aHUS patients we found no evidence that fB has a major role in the pathogenesis of aHUS.

Abstract

DiGeorge (DGS, MIM 188400) and velocardiofacial (VCFS, MIM 192430) syndromes may present many clinical problems including cardiac defects, hypoparathyroidism, T-cell immunodeficiency and facial dysmorphism1. They are frequently associated with deletions within 22q11.2, but a number of cases have no detectable molecular defect of this region2,3. A number of single case reports with deletions of 10p suggest genetic heterogeneity of DGS. Here we compare the regions of hemi-zygosity in four patients with terminal deletions of 10p (one patient diagnosed as having hypoparathyroidism and three as DGS) and one patient with a large interstitial deletion (diagnosed as VCFS). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis demonstrates that these patients have overlapping deletions at the 10p13/10p14 boundary. A YAC contig spanning the shortest region of deletion overlap (SRO) has been assembled, and allows the size of SRO to be approximated to 2 Mb. As with deletions of 22q11, phenotypes vary considerably between affected patients. These results strongly support the hypothesis that haploinsufficiency of a gene or genes within 10p (the DGSII locus) can cause the DGS/VCFS spectrum of malformation.

Abstract

Deletions within 22q11 have been associated with a wide variety of birth defects embraced by the acronym CATCH22 and including the DiGeorge syndrome, Shprintzen syndrome (velocardiofacial syndrome) and congenital heart disease. It is not known how many genes contribute to this phenotype. Previous studies have shown that a balanced translocation disrupts sequences within the shortest region of deletion overlap for DiGeorge syndrome. A P1 clone was isolated which spans this breakpoint and used to isolate a cDNA encoding a transmembrane protein expressed in a wide variety of tissues. This gene (called IDD) is not disrupted by the translocation, but maps within 10 kb of the breakpoint. Mutation analysis of five affected cases with no previously identified chromosome 22 deletion was negative, but a potential protein polymorphism was discovered. No deletions or rearrangements were detected in these patients following analysis with markers closely flanking the breakpoint, data which emphasize that large (i.e. over 1 Mb) interstitial deletions are the rule in DiGeorge syndrome. The proximity of IDD to the balanced translocation breakpoint and its position within the shortest region of deletion overlap indicate that this gene may have a role, along with other genes, in the CATCH22 haploinsufficiency syndromes.

Abstract

DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is one of several syndromes associated with deletions within the proximal long-arm of chromosome 22. The region of chromosome 22q11 responsible for the haploinsufficiency syndromes (the DiGeorge Critical Region or DGCR) has been mapped using RFLPs, quantitative Southern blotting and FISH. Similar deletions are seen in the velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) and familial congenital heart defects. It is not known whether the phenotypic spectrum is the result of the hemizygosity of one gene or whether it is a consequence of contiguous genes being deleted. However, the majority of patients have a large (> = 2Mb deletion). In this paper we report the isolation of a gene, lab name T10, encoding a serine/threonine rich protein of unknown function which maps to the commonly deleted region of chromosome 22q11. Studies in the mouse indicate that it maps to MMU16 and is expressed during early embryogenesis. Although not mapping within the shortest region of overlap for DGS/VCFS, and therefore not the major gene involved in DGS, the expression pattern suggests that this gene may be involved in modifying the haploinsufficient phenotype of hemizygous patients.
