Williams-Beuren syndrome: typical deletions versus atypical deletions of the 7q11.23 region

ABSTRACT: We have performed comparative transcriptome profile from lymphoblastoid cell lines from four Williams-Beuren syndrome patients and two patients with partial deletions of the region. The goal was to find deregulated genes specifically in WBS versus atypical deletions, and to determine the biological pathways affected in WBS patients. 6 samples were hybridized twice each: once labeled with Cy5 and once labeled with Cy3 (dye-swap). Each sample was hybridized against a pool of five controls of the same gender.

Williams-Beuren syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder mainly characterized by dysmorphic features, vascular stenoses, abnormalities of calcium and glucose metabolism, and mental retardation with visuospatial deficits, caused by de novo deletion of 26-28 genes at 7q11.23. Clinical-molecular correlations have defined critically deleted genes as likely responsible for several aspects of the phenotype, but the precise biological pathways affected are mostly unknown. We performed comparative tran ...[more]

The deletion of the Williams-Beuren Syndrome critical region dysregulate the expression of miR379-410 miRNA members in human isogenic iNeurons

Project description:While psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are typically associated with a deficit in social behavior, the opposite trait of hypersociability is exhibited by individuals with specific neurodevelopmental disorders, e.g., Angelman Syndrome (AS) and Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS). We have recently reported that the deletion of the miR379-410 cluster in mice led to hypersocial behavior. To study the roles of this miRNA cluster in the context of WBS, we sent for smallRNA sequencing RNA isolated from isogenic human iPSC-derived neurons harboring a deletion present in Williams-Beuren-Syndrome patients (7q11.23). Specifically, we found that members of the miR379-410 cluster were strikingly overrepresented among downregulated miRNAs in iNeurons harboring a deletion of the WBS critical region. Thus, we obtained the first evidence for the pathophysiological significance of the miR379-410 miRNA cluster in the context of WBS. We conclude that targeting this novel pathway could have therapeutic potential for WBS and other neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by social impairments.

Expression profiling in Williams-Beuren Syndrome patient fibroblast cell lines

Project description:Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by aa 1.5 Mb microdeletion on human chromosome 7. Although the molecular cause of the disorder is well-established, little is known about the global impact of the deletion on gene expression. Here we profiled the transcriptomes of fibroblast cell lines from 8 young girls with WBS, and 9 sex- and age-matched control individuals Keywords: disease state analysis, gene expression profiling Skin fibroblast of 8 WBS and 9 control individuals were obtained from the cell culture collections of the “Centre de Biotechnologie Cellulaire, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Hôpital Debrousse”, Lyon, France. Appropriate informed consent was obtained for each sample by the physicians in charge. Human skin fibroblasts were grown in HAM F-10, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics (Invitrogen). Total RNA was prepared using TriZOL Reagent (Invitrogen) and RNeasy Mini Columns (Qiagen) according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived neurons as a model for Williams-Beuren syndrome

Project description:Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is caused by the microdeletion of approximately 25 genes on chromosome 7q11.23, and is characterized by a spectrum of cognitive and behavioural features. We generated cortical neurons from a WBS individual and unaffected (WT) control by directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Single cell mRNA analyses and immunostaining demonstrated very efficient production of differentiated cells expressing markers of mature neurons of mixed subtypes and from multiple cortical layers. We found that passive membrane properties were comparable in these WBS and WT neurons, but there was a profound alteration in action potentials, with significantly prolonged WBS repolarization times and a WBS deficit in voltage-activated K+ currents. Miniature excitatory synaptic currents were normal, indicating that unitary excitatory synaptic transmission was not altered. Gene expression profiling identified 136 negatively enriched gene sets in WBS compared to WT neurons. These genes are involved in synaptic transmission and assembly, cation transport, axon guidance and elastic fibre pathways, and some encode ion channels. Our findings provide insight into gene dysregulation and electrophysiological defects in WBS patient neurons.

Detection of deletions at 7q11.23 in Williams-Beuren syndrome by polymorphic markers.

Project description:IntroductionWilliams-Beuren syndrome (WBS; OMIM 194050) is caused by a hemizygous contiguous gene microdeletion at 7q11.23. Supravalvular aortic stenosis, mental retardation, overfriendliness, and ocular and renal abnormalities comprise typical symptoms in WBS. Although fluorescence in situ hybridization is widely used for diagnostic confirmation, microsatellite DNA markers are considered highly informative and easily manageable.ObjectivesThis study aimed to test the microsatellite markers for the diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome, to determine the size and parental origin of microdeletion, compare the clinical characteristics between patients with different sizes of the deletion and parental origin.MethodsWe studied 97 patients with clinical diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome using five microsatellite markers: D7S1870, D7S489, D7S613, D7S2476 and D7S489_A.Results and discussionUsing five markers together, the result was informative in all patients. The most informative marker was D7S1870 (78.4%), followed by D7S613 (75.3%), D7S489 (70.1%) and D7S2476 (62.9%). The microdeletion was present in 84 (86.6%) patients and absent in 13 (13.4%) patients. Maternal deletions were found in 52.4% of patients and paternal deletions in 47.6% of patients. The observed size of deletions was 1.55 Mb in 76/ 84 patients (90.5%) and 1.84 Mb in 8/84 patients (9.5%). SVAS as well as ocular and urinary abnormalities were more frequent in the patients with a deletion. There were no clinical differences in relation to either the size or parental origin of the deletion.ConclusionUsing these five selected microsatellite markers was informative in all patients, thus can be considered an alternative method for molecular diagnosis in Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Mutational mechanisms of Williams-Beuren syndrome deletions.

Project description:Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a segmental aneusomy syndrome that results from a heterozygous deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. Three large region-specific low-copy repeat elements (LCRs), composed of different blocks (A, B, and C), flank the WBS deletion interval and are thought to predispose to misalignment and unequal crossing-over, causing the deletions. In this study, we have determined the exact deletion size and LCR copy number in 74 patients with WBS, as well as precisely defined deletion breakpoints in 30 of them, using LCR-specific nucleotide differences. Most patients (95%) exhibit a 1.55-Mb deletion caused by recombination between centromeric and medial block B copies, which share approximately 99.6% sequence identity along 105-143 kb. In these cases, deletion breakpoints were mapped at several sites within the recombinant block B, with a cluster (>27%) occurring at a 12 kb region within the GTF2I/GTF2IP1 gene. Almost one-third (28%) of the transmitting progenitors were found to be heterozygous for an inversion between centromeric and telomeric LCRs. All deletion breakpoints in the patients with the inversion occurred in the distal 38-kb block B region only present in the telomeric and medial copies. Finally, only four patients (5%) displayed a larger deletion ( approximately 1.84 Mb) caused by recombination between centromeric and medial block A copies. We propose models for the specific pairing and precise aberrant recombination leading to each of the different germline rearrangements that occur in this region, including inversions and deletions associated with WBS. Chromosomal instability at 7q11.23 is directly related to the genomic structure of the region.

Proteomics investigation of alterations driven by 7q11.23 CNVs in neurons

Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) at 7q11.23 cause Williams-Beuren (WBS) and 7q microduplication syndromes (7Dup), two neurodevelopmental disorders with both shared and symmetrically opposite cognitive-behavioral phenotypes. Here, we profiled the proteomes of isogenic Ngn2-driven neurons that recapitulate the three dosages of 7q11.23 (hemiduplicated, control and hemideleted).

An atypical 7q11.23 deletion in a normal IQ Williams-Beuren syndrome patient.

Project description:Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS; OMIM no. 194050) is a multisystemic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a hemizygous deletion of 1.55 Mb on chromosome 7q11.23 spanning 28 genes. Haploinsufficiency of the ELN gene was shown to be responsible for supravalvular aortic stenosis and generalized arteriopathy, whereas LIMK1, CLIP2, GTF2IRD1 and GTF2I genes were suggested to be linked to the specific cognitive profile and craniofacial features. These insights for genotype-phenotype correlations came from the molecular and clinical analysis of patients with atypical deletions and mice models. Here we report a patient showing mild WBS physical phenotype and normal IQ, who carries a shorter 1 Mb atypical deletion. This rearrangement does not include the GTF2IRD1 and GTF2I genes and only partially the BAZ1B gene. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that hemizygosity of the GTF2IRD1 and GTF2I genes might be involved in the facial dysmorphisms and in the specific motor and cognitive deficits observed in WBS patients.

RNA-seq of human iPSCs derived neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) upon knock-down of BAZ1B (WSTF), including 3 williams beuren syndrome lines, 1 atypical deletion line, and 3 individuals with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome. Each line has been infected with a scramble, or at least one of two short-hairpins (as described in the coupled paper).

Project description:In order to dissect the role of BAZ1B in the paradigmatic craniofacial dysmorphisms that characterize Williams Beuren Syndrome and the simmetrical genetically opposite 7q11.23 duplication syndrome(7dupASD), we selected a large cohort of NCSCs lines (4 from WBS patients, 3 from 7dupASD patients and 4 from control individuals) to perform transcriptomic profiling. These lines show a clear cranial identity signatures which is crucial to pinpoint the disease pathogenesis, We then knocked-down (KD) BAZ1B via RNA interference in all lines across the three genetic conditions, including also NCSCs derived from a particularly informative atypical WBS patient (atWBS) bearing a partial deletion of the region that spares BAZ1B and six additional genes (see paper). In order to establish a high-resolution gradient of BAZ1B dosages, we selected two distinct shRNA against BAZ1B (i.e., sh1 and sh2) along with a scrambled shRNA sequence (hereafter scr) as negative control, for a total of 32 NCSC lines. KD efficiency was evaluated both at the RNA level by quantitative PCR (qPCR), confirming the attainment of the desired gradient with an overall reduction of about 40% for sh1 and 70% for sh2, as well as reduction at the protein level, as detected by Western blot (see the coupled paper).
