Abstract

International audience; The aim of this study was to provide an efficient tool: reliable, able to increase the molecular diagnosis performance, to facilitate the detection of copy number variants (CNV), to assess genetic risk scores (wGRS) and to offer the opportunity to explore candidate genes. Custom SeqCap EZ libraries, NextSeq500 sequencing and a homemade pipeline enable the analysis of 311 dyslipidemia-related genes. In the training group (48 DNA from patients with a well-established molecular diagnosis), this next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow showed an analytical sensitivity >99% (n = 532 variants) without any false negative including a partial deletion of one exon. In the prospective group, from 25 DNA from patients without prior molecular analyses, 18 rare variants were identified in the first intention panel genes, allowing the diagnosis of monogenic dyslipidemia in 11 patients. In six other patients, the analysis of minor genes and wGRS determination provided a hypothesis to explain the dyslipidemia. Remaining data from the whole NGS workflow identified four patients with potentially deleterious variants. This NGS process gives a major opportunity to accede to an enhanced understanding of the genetic of dyslipidemia by simultaneous assessment of multiple genetic determinants.

Abstract

International audience; Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), characterized by triglycerides (TG) permanently over 10 mmol/L, may correspond to familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), a rare disorder. However, hypertriglyceridemic patients more often present multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS), characterized by highly variable TG. A few nonsense variants of LMF1 gene were reported in literature in FCS patients. In this study, we described a woman with an intermittent severe HTG. NGS analysis and the sequencing of a long range PCR product revealed a homozygous deletion of 6507 base pairs in LMF1 gene, c.730-1528\₈98-3417del, removing exon 6, predicted to create an in-frame deletion of 56 amino acids, p.(Thr244_Gln299del). Despite an exon 6 homozygous deletion of LMF1, the patient's highly variable lipid phenotype was suggestive of MCS diagnosis.

Abstract

International audience; Optimal molecular diagnosis of primary dyslipidemia is challenging to confirm the diagnosis, test and identify at risk relatives. The aim of this study was to test the application of a single targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel for hypercholesterolemia, hypocholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia molecular diagnosis. NGS workflow based on a custom AmpliSeq panel was designed for sequencing the most prevalent dyslipidemia-causing genes (ANGPTL3, APOA5, APOC2, APOB, GPIHBP1, LDLR, LMF1, LPL, PCSK9) on the Ion PGM Sequencer. One hundred and forty patients without molecular diagnosis were studied. In silico analyses were performed using the NextGENe software and homemade tools for detection of copy number variations (CNV). All mutations were confirmed using appropriate tools. Eighty seven variations and 4 CNV were identified, allowing a molecular diagnosis for 40/116 hypercholesterolemic patients, 5/13 hypocholesterolemic patients, and 2/11, hypertriglyceridemic patients respectively. This workflow allowed the detection of CNV contrary to our previous strategy. Some variations were found in previously unexplored regions providing an added value for genotype-phenotype correlation and familial screening. In conclusion, this new NGS process is an effective mutation detection method and allows better understanding of phenotype. Consequently this assay meets the medical need for individualized diagnosis of dyslipidemia.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Abetalipoproteinemia, a recessive disease resulting from deleterious variants in MTTP (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein), is characterized by undetectable concentrations of apolipoprotein B, extremely low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the plasma, and a total inability to export apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins from both the intestine and the liver. OBJECTIVE: To study lipid absorption after a fat load and liver function in 7 heterozygous relatives from 2 abetalipoproteinemic families, 1 previously unreported. RESULTS: Both patients are compound heterozygotes for p.(Arg540His) and either c.708\₇09del p.(His236Glnfs*11) or c.1344+3\₁344+6del on the MTTP gene. The previously undescribed patient has been followed for 22 years with ultrastructure analyses of both the intestine and the liver. In these 2 families, 5 relatives were heterozygous for p.(Arg540His), 1 for p.(His236Glnfs*11) and 1 for c.1344+3\₁344+6del. In 4 heterozygous relatives, the lipid absorption was normal independent of the MTTP variant. In contrast, in 3 of them, the increase in triglyceride levels after fat load was abnormal. These subjects were additionally heterozygous carriers of Asp2213 APOB in-frame deletion, near the cytidine mRNA editing site, which is essential for intestinal apoB48 production. Liver function appeared to be normal in all the heterozygotes except for one who exhibited liver steatosis for unexplained reasons. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that a single copy of the MTTP gene may be sufficient for human normal lipid absorption, except when associated with an additional APOB gene alteration. The hepatic steatosis reported in 1 patient emphasizes the need for liver function tests in all heterozygotes until the level of risk is established.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare recessive monogenic disease due to MTTP (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein) mutations leading to the absence of plasma apoB-containing lipoproteins. Here we characterize a new ABL case with usual clinical phenotype, hypocholesterolemia, hypotriglyceridemia but normal serum apolipoprotein B48 (apoB48) and red blood cell vitamin E concentrations. METHODS: Histology and MTP activity measurements were performed on intestinal biopsies. Mutations in MTTP were identified by Sanger sequencing, quantitative digital droplet and long-range PCR. Functional consequences of the variants were studied in vitro using a minigene splicing assay, measurement of MTP activity and apoB48 secretion. RESULTS: Intestinal steatosis and the absence of measurable lipid transfer activity in intestinal protein extract supported the diagnosis of ABL. A novel MTTP c.1868G\textgreaterT variant inherited from the patient's father was identified. This variant gives rise to three mRNA transcripts: one normally spliced, found at a low frequency in intestinal biopsy, carrying the p.(Arg623Leu) missense variant, producing in vitro 65% of normal MTP activity and apoB48 secretion, and two abnormally spliced transcripts resulting in a non-functional MTP protein. Digital droplet PCR and long-range sequencing revealed a previously described c.1067+1217\₁141del allele inherited from the mother, removing exon 10. Thus, the patient is compound heterozygous for two dysfunctional MTTP alleles. The p.(Arg623Leu) variant may maintain residual secretion of apoB48. CONCLUSIONS: Complex cases of primary dyslipidemia require the use of a cascade of different methodologies to establish the diagnosis in patients with non-classical biological phenotypes and provide better knowledge on the regulation of lipid metabolism.
