MMP13 mutation causes spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Missouri type (SEMD(MO).

ABSTRACT: MMPs, which degrade components of the ECM, have roles in embryonic development, tissue repair, cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. We show that a missense mutation of MMP13 causes the Missouri type of human spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD(MO)), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by defective growth and modeling of vertebrae and long bones. Genome-wide linkage analysis mapped SEMD(MO) to a 17-cM region on chromosome 11q14.3-23.2 that contains a cluster of 9 MMP genes. Among these, MMP13 represented the best candidate for SEMD(MO), since it preferentially degrades collagen type II, abnormalities of which cause skeletal dysplasias that include Strudwick type SEMD. DNA sequence analysis revealed a missense mutation, F56S, that substituted an evolutionarily conserved phenylalanine residue for a serine in the proregion domain of MMP13. We predicted, by modeling MMP13 structure, that this F56S mutation would result in a hydrophobic cavity with misfolding, autoactivation, and degradation of mutant protein intracellularly. Expression of wild-type and mutant MMP13s in human embryonic kidney cells confirmed abnormal intracellular autoactivation and autodegradation of F56S MMP13 such that only enzymatically inactive, small fragments were secreted. Thus, the F56S mutation results in deficiency of MMP13, which leads to the human skeletal developmental anomaly of SEMD(MO).

IPSC reprogramming of two patients with spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD, biglycan type).

Project description:Hemizygous missense variants in the X-linked BGN gene, encoding the extracellular matrix protein biglycan, cause spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD, biglycan type), which is clinically characterized by short stature, brachydactyly and osteoarthritis. Little is known about the pathomechanisms underlying SEMD, biglycan type. IPSC-derived chondrocyte disease models have been shown to exhibit several key aspects of known disease mechanisms of skeletal dysplasias and are therefore considered highly suitable human disease models to study SEMD, biglycan type. Prior to creating iPSC-chondrocytes, dermal fibroblasts of two male patients with SEMD, biglycan type, carrying the p.Gly259Val variant were successfully reprogrammed into iPSCs using the CytoTuneTM-iPS 2.0 Sendai Kit (Invitrogen).

Mutation of the type X collagen gene (COL10A1) causes spondylometaphyseal dysplasia.

Project description:Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMD) comprises a heterogeneous group of heritable skeletal dysplasias characterized by modifications of the vertebral bodies of the spine and metaphyses of the tubular bones. The genetic etiology of SMD is currently unknown; however, the type X collagen gene (COL10A1) is considered an excellent candidate, for two reasons: first, Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, a condition known to result from COL10A1 mutations, shows a significant phenotypic overlap with SMD; and, second, transgenic mice carrying deletions in type X collagen show SMD phenotypes. Hence, we examined the entire coding region of COL10A1 by direct sequencing of DNA from five unrelated patients with SMD and found a heterozygous missense mutation (Gly595Glu) cosegregating with the disease phenotype in one SMD family. This initial documented identification of a mutation in SMD expands our knowledge concerning the range of the pathological phenotypes that can be produced by aberrations of type X collagen (type X collagenopathy).

Two sisters with RSPRY1-related spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia.

Project description:Biallelic variants in RSPRY1 have been found to result in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia. Two siblings presenting with short stature, facial dysmorphism, progressive vertebral defects, small epiphysis, cupping and fraying of metaphyses, brachydactyly, and short metatarsals harbored a homozygous missense variant c.1652G>A;p.(Cys551Tyr) in the RSPRY1 gene. The phenotype in our patients resembles spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Faden-Alkuraya type. Thus, our study provides further evidence to support the association of RSPRY1 variants with spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia. We observed joint dislocation as a novel clinical feature of this condition.

BGN Mutations in X-Linked Spondyloepimetaphyseal Dysplasia.

Project description:Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasias (SEMDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive disorders. An apparent X-linked recessive (XLR) form of SEMD in a single Italian family was previously reported. We have been able to restudy this family together with a second family from Korea by segregating a severe SEMD in an X-linked pattern. Exome sequencing showed missense mutations in BGN c.439A>G (p.Lys147Glu) in the Korean family and c.776G>T (p.Gly259Val) in the Italian family; the c.439A>G (p.Lys147Glu) mutation was also identified in a further simplex SEMD case from India. Biglycan is an extracellular matrix proteoglycan that can bind transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and thus regulate its free concentration. In 3-dimensional simulation, both altered residues localized to the concave arc of leucine-rich repeat domains of biglycan that interact with TGF-β. The observation of recurrent BGN mutations in XLR SEMD individuals from different ethnic backgrounds allows us to define "XLR SEMD, BGN type" as a nosologic entity.

Variant of the catalytic cysteine of UFSP2 leads to spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia type Di Rocco.

Project description:Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) is characterized by vertebral, epiphyseal, and metaphyseal alterations. Patients become predominantly apparent with disproportionate short stature. The genetic background of SEMD is heterogeneous, with different modes of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked disorders). Amongst the genes in which variants are known to cause SEMD, UFM1-specific protease 2 (UFSP2) encodes a cysteine protease involved in the maturation of Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1). Heterozygous pathogenic variants affecting the C-terminal catalytic domain of UFSP2 are related to two entities of skeletal dysplasia, Beukes hip dysplasia (BHD) and SEMD type Di Rocco (SEMDDR). This is the first report of a de novo heterozygous variant affecting the catalytic Cys302 residue of UFSP2 (NM_018359.3:c.905G>C, p.(Cys302Ser)) causing SEMDDR. According to previously described patients with SEMDDR, our patient presented with disproportionate short stature, genu varum, gait instability, and radiologically detected epiphyseal and metaphyseal alterations. Additionally, a bell-shaped thorax, lumbar hyperlordosis, muscular hypotonia, and coxa vara were observed in the patient described in this study. Our findings underline the fundamental importance of an intact catalytic triad of the human UFSP2 for normal skeletal development and extend the phenotypical features of patients with UFSP2-related skeletal dysplasia.

A brain somatic RHEB doublet mutation causes focal cortical dysplasia type II.

Project description:Focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) is a cerebral cortex malformation characterized by local cortical structure disorganization, neuronal dysmorphology, and refractory epilepsy. Brain somatic mutations in several genes involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway are associated with FCDII, but they are only found in a proportion of patients with FCDII. The genetic causes underlying the development FCDII in other patients remain unclear. Here, we carried out whole exome sequencing and targeted sequencing in paired brain-blood DNA from patients with FCDII and identified a brain somatic doublet mutation c.(A104T, C105A) in the Ras homolog, mTORC1 binding (RHEB) gene, which led to the RHEB p.Y35L mutation in one patient with FCDII. This RHEB mutation carrier had a dramatic increase of ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylation, indicating mTOR activation in the region of the brain lesion. The RHEB p.Y35L mutant protein had increased GTPλS-binding activity compared with wild-type RHEB. Overexpression of the RHEB p.Y35L variant in cultured cells also resulted in elevated S6 phosphorylation compared to wild-type RHEB. Importantly, in utero electroporation of the RHEB p.Y35L variant in mice induced S6 phosphorylation, cytomegalic neurons, dysregulated neuron migration, abnormal electroencephalogram, and seizures, all of which are found in patients with FCDII. Rapamycin treatment rescued abnormal electroencephalograms and alleviated seizures in these mice. These results demonstrate that brain somatic mutations in RHEB are also responsible for the pathogenesis of FCDII, indicating that aberrant activation of mTOR signaling is a primary driver and potential drug target for FCDII.

Whole-exome sequencing identifies mutations of KIF22 in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, leptodactylic type.

Project description:Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity (SEMDJL), leptodactylic (lepto-SEMDJL) or Hall type, is an autosomal-dominant skeletal dysplasia manifesting with short stature, joint laxity with dislocation(s), limb malalignment, and spinal deformity. Its causative gene mutation has not yet been discovered. We captured and sequenced the exomes of eight affected individuals in six unrelated kindreds (three individuals in a family and five simplex individuals). Five novel sequence variants in KIF22, which encodes a member of the kinesin-like protein family, were identified in seven individuals. Sanger sequencing of KIF22 confirmed that c.443C>T (p.Pro148Ser) cosegregated with the phenotype in the affected individuals in the family; c.442C>T (p.Pro148Leu) or c.446G>A (p.Arg149Gln) was present in four of five simplex individuals, but was absent in unaffected individuals in their family and 505 normal cohorts. KIF22 mRNA was detected in human bone, cartilage, joint capsule, ligament, skin, and primary cultured chondrocytes. In silico analysis of KIF22 protein structure indicates that Pro148 and Arg149 are important in maintaining hydrogen bonds in the ATP binding and motor domains of KIF22. We conclude that these mutations in KIF22 cause lepto-SEMDJL.

MET Mutation Causes Muscular Dysplasia and Arthrogryposis

Project description:Arthrogryposis is a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by congenital contractures of two or more parts of the body; the pathogenesis and the causative genes of arthrogryposis remain undetermined. We examined a four-generation arthrogryposis pedigree characterized by camptodactyly, limited forearm supination, and loss of myofibers in the forearms and hands. By using whole-exome sequencing, we confirmed MET p.Y1234C mutation to be responsible for arthrogryposis in this pedigree. MET p.Y1234C mutation caused the failure of activation of MET tyrosine kinase. A Met p.Y1232C mutant mouse model was established. The phenotypes of homozygous mice included embryonic lethality and complete loss of muscles that originated from migratory precursors. Heterozygous mice were born alive and showed reduction of the number of myofibers in both appendicular and axial muscles. Defective migration of muscle progenitor cells and impaired proliferation of secondary myoblasts were proven to be responsible for the skeletal muscle dysplasia of mutant mice. Overall, our study shows MET to be a causative gene of arthrogryposis and MET mutation could cause skeletal muscle dysplasia in human beings.

Loss of DDRGK1 modulates SOX9 ubiquitination in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia.

Project description:Shohat-type spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) is a skeletal dysplasia that affects cartilage development. Similar skeletal disorders, such as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias, are linked to mutations in type II collagen (COL2A1), but the causative gene in SEMD is not known. Here, we have performed whole-exome sequencing to identify a recurrent homozygous c.408+1G>A donor splice site loss-of-function mutation in DDRGK domain containing 1 (DDRGK1) in 4 families affected by SEMD. In zebrafish, ddrgk1 deficiency disrupted craniofacial cartilage development and led to decreased levels of the chondrogenic master transcription factor sox9 and its downstream target, col2a1. Overexpression of sox9 rescued the zebrafish chondrogenic and craniofacial phenotype generated by ddrgk1 knockdown, thus identifying DDRGK1 as a regulator of SOX9. Consistent with these results, Ddrgk1-/- mice displayed delayed limb bud chondrogenic condensation, decreased SOX9 protein expression and Col2a1 transcript levels, and increased apoptosis. Furthermore, we determined that DDRGK1 can directly bind to SOX9 to inhibit its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Taken together, these data indicate that loss of DDRGK1 decreases SOX9 expression and causes a human skeletal dysplasia, identifying a mechanism that regulates chondrogenesis via modulation of SOX9 ubiquitination.

RPL13 Variants Cause Spondyloepimetaphyseal Dysplasia with Severe Short Stature.

Project description:Variants in genes encoding ribosomal proteins have thus far been associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a rare inherited bone marrow failure, and isolated congenital asplenia. Here, we report one de novo missense variant and three de novo splice variants in RPL13, which encodes ribosomal protein RPL13 (also called eL13), in four unrelated individuals with a rare bone dysplasia causing severe short stature. The three splice variants (c.477+1G>T, c.477+1G>A, and c.477+2 T>C) result in partial intron retention, which leads to an 18-amino acid insertion. In contrast to observations from Diamond-Blackfan anemia, we detected no evidence of significant pre-rRNA processing disturbance in cells derived from two affected individuals. Consistently, we showed that the insertion-containing protein is stably expressed and incorporated into 60S subunits similar to the wild-type protein. Erythroid proliferation in culture and ribosome profile on sucrose gradient are modified, suggesting a change in translation dynamics. We also provide evidence that RPL13 is present at high levels in chondrocytes and osteoblasts in mouse growth plates. Taken together, we show that the identified RPL13 variants cause a human ribosomopathy defined by a rare skeletal dysplasia, and we highlight the role of this ribosomal protein in bone development.
