Mutation analysis of NANOS3 in 80 Chinese and 88 Caucasian women with premature ovarian failure.

ABSTRACT: NANOS3 encodes an RNA-binding protein and has a conserved function in germ cell development. Our objective was to investigate whether mutations in NANOS3 were present in Chinese and Caucasian women with premature ovarian failure. A known synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs 2016163) in exon 1 was identified through sequencing 80 Chinese and 88 Caucasian women with premature ovarian failure. No additional single-nucleotide polymorphisms or mutations were found in exons encoding for NANOS3. Our findings suggest that mutations in NANOS3 exons are rare in both Chinese and Caucasian women with premature ovarian failure.

Mutation analysis of NANOS3 in Brazilian women with primary ovarian failure.

Project description:Primary ovarian failure is a rare disorder, and approximately 90% of cases are of unknown etiology. The aim of this study was to search for mutations in NANOS3, a gene that was recently related to the etiology of primary ovarian failure, in a group of Brazilian women.We screened for NANOS3 DNA variants in 30 consecutive women who were previously diagnosed with primary ovarian failure, of unknown etiology and compared the results with those from 185 women with normal fertility. The NANOS3 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction using pairs of specific primers and then sequenced. The resulting sequences were compared with control sequences available in the National Center for Biotechnology and Information database.No mutations in NANOS3 were found in primary ovarian failure patients, but four previously described polymorphisms were identified at a similar frequency in the control and primary ovarian failure groups.Mutations in NANOS3 were not associated with primary ovarian failure in the present cohort.

A NANOS3 mutation linked to protein degradation causes premature ovarian insufficiency.

Project description:Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), or premature ovarian failure, is defined as the cessation of ovarian function before the age of 40. An insufficient ovarian follicle pool derived from primordial germ cells (PGCs) is an important cause of POI. Although the Nanos gene family is known to be required for PGC development and maintenance in diverse model organisms, the relevance of this information to human biology is not yet clear. In this study, we screened the coding regions of the NANOS1, NANOS2 and NANOS3 genes in 100 Chinese POI patients and identified four variants in the coding regions of these three genes, including one synonymous variant in NANOS3, one missense variant in each of NANOS1 and NANOS2 and one potentially relevant mutation (c.457C>T; p.Arg153Trp, heterozygous) in NANOS3. We demonstrated that the p.Arg153Trp substitution decreases the stability of NANOS3, potentially resulting in a hypomorph. Furthermore, an investigation of the relationship between the number of PGCs and the dosage of NANOS3 in mouse models showed that the population of PGCs is controlled by the level of NANOS3 protein. Taken together, our results provide new insight into the properties of the NANOS3 protein and establish that NANOS3 mutation is one possible cause of POI.

Novel WT1 Missense Mutations in Han Chinese Women with Premature Ovarian Failure.

Project description:Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous disease. Though dozens of candidate genes have been identified for the genetic etiology of POF, it is largely unexplained in majority of patients. Recently, Wt1(+/R394W) mice was found to present POF-like phenotype, which indicates that WT1 might be a plausible candidate gene for non-syndromic POF. The coding region of WT1 gene was screened in 384 patients with POF and 6 novel variations were identified, including two missense mutations (p. Pro126Ser in exon1 and p. Arg370His in exon7) and four intronic variants (c.647-27C > T, c.647-13G > C, c.647-13G > A in intron1 and c.950 + 14T > C in intron 4). In vitro experiments showed that both mutant p. Pro126Ser and p. Arg370His repressed the expression of Amh and Cdh1, and induced the expression of Fshr and Cyp19 in mRNA level (P < 0.05). The expression changes of AMH, FSHR, CYP19 and CDH1 were confirmed by western blot. These genes (AMH, FSHR, CYP19 and CDH1) are required for granular cells (GCs) proliferation, differentiation and oocyte-GCs interaction. The novel mutant p. P126S and p. R370H in the WT1 gene potentially impaired GCs differentiation and oocyte-GCs interaction, which might result in loss of follicles prematurely. Therefore, WT1 is a plausible causal gene for POF.

NOBOX homeobox mutation causes premature ovarian failure.

Project description:NOBOX (newborn ovary homeobox gene) is an oocyte-specific homeobox gene that plays a critical role in early folliculogenesis and represents a candidate gene for nonsyndromic ovarian failure. We investigated whether mutations in the NOBOX gene cause premature ovarian failure (POF). We sequenced the NOBOX gene in 96 white women with POF and discovered seven known single-nucleotide polymorphisms and four novel variations, two of which, p.Arg355His and p.Arg360Gln, cause missense mutations in the homeobox domain. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) confirmed that the missense mutation, p.Arg355His, disrupted NOBOX homeodomain binding to NOBOX DNA-binding element (NBE) and had a dominant negative effect on the binding of wild-type NOBOX to DNA. Our findings demonstrate that NOBOX mutations can cause POF.

Mutation of MDM2 gene in Chinese Han women with idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Recent animal studies have demonstrated that the deletion of mouse double minute 2 (Mdm2) in mice leads to premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether mutations in the MDM2 gene contribute to POI in Chinese Han women. METHODS:The coding region of the MDM2 gene was examined in 54 Chinese Han women with idiopathic POI and 54 Han healthy controls. Two known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs937283 in 5'-UTR and rs2870820 in intron 1, were compared between both POI and control groups. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the genotype distributions or allelic frequencies between the POI and control groups. No plausible causative mutations were identified. CONCLUSION:Our findings suggest that mutations in the coding region of the MDM2 gene may not represent a risk factor in the pathogenesis of idiopathic POI among Chinese Han women. Although we fail to confirm that MDM2 is a disease-causing gene, our study is the first to investigate the role of MDM2 in POI patients. Further studies with larger sample size from different ethnic populations are warranted.

Analysis of LHX8 mutation in premature ovarian failure.

Project description:The LHX8 (LIM homeobox 8) gene encodes a LIM homeodomain transcriptional regulator that is preferentially expressed in germ cells and critical for mammalian oogenesis. The authors investigated whether nucleotide changes were present in the LHX8 gene of Caucasian women with premature ovarian failure (POF), as compared with control women. When the authors sequenced 95 Caucasian women with POF, they discovered two novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in intron 3 (c.769+10G>T) and 3' untranslated region (c.1787A>G) of the LHX8 gene. These polymorphisms also were found in controls (n = 94), at frequencies that were not statistically different from those in POF women. Mutations in the LHX8 exons are uncommon in Caucasian women with POF.

Premature ovarian failure.

Project description:Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a primary ovarian defect characterized by absent menarche (primary amenorrhea) or premature depletion of ovarian follicles before the age of 40 years (secondary amenorrhea). It is a heterogeneous disorder affecting approximately 1% of women <40 years, 1:10,000 women by age 20 and 1:1,000 women by age 30. The most severe forms present with absent pubertal development and primary amenorrhea (50% of these cases due to ovarian dysgenesis), whereas forms with post-pubertal onset are characterized by disappearance of menstrual cycles (secondary amenorrhea) associated with premature follicular depletion. As in the case of physiological menopause, POF presents by typical manifestations of climacterium: infertility associated with palpitations, heat intolerance, flushes, anxiety, depression, fatigue. POF is biochemically characterized by low levels of gonadal hormones (estrogens and inhibins) and high levels of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) (hypergonadotropic amenorrhea). Beyond infertility, hormone defects may cause severe neurological, metabolic or cardiovascular consequences and lead to the early onset of osteoporosis. Heterogeneity of POF is also reflected by the variety of possible causes, including autoimmunity, toxics, drugs, as well as genetic defects. POF has a strong genetic component. X chromosome abnormalities (e.g. Turner syndrome) represent the major cause of primary amenorrhea associated with ovarian dysgenesis. Despite the description of several candidate genes, the cause of POF remains undetermined in the vast majority of the cases. Management includes substitution of the hormone defect by estrogen/progestin preparations. The only solution presently available for the fertility defect in women with absent follicular reserve is ovum donation.

Premature ovarian failure.

Project description:Premature ovarian failure (POF) is the term usually used to describe women aged younger than 40 years, who present with amenorrhoea, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, and infertility. POF is a devastating diagnosis for reproductive-aged women. The clinical presentation is diverse, and several different disorders can lead to premature ovarian failure. POF has serious health consequences, including psychological distress, infertility, osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders, ischaemic heart disease, and increased risk of mortality. Hashimoto's disease is the most frequent autoimmune disorder associated with premature ovarian failure. Management should be initiated immediately to prevent long-term consequences. Oestrogen therapy is the mainstay of management. Hormone therapy should be provided to eliminate symptoms of oestrogen deficiency.

Truncated DAZL mutation reduces NANOS3 expression in primordial germ cells and leads to premature ovarian insufficiency

Project description:Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a complex disorder that affects many genes and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, a homozygous point mutation, c.808C>T, in the DAZL gene of a POI patient was identified. This homozygous variant causes a C-terminal truncation of DAZL and down-regulation of germ-line gene NANOS3 expression, among other dysregulated genes, in human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) in vitro. Mechanistically, we discovered that the truncated DAZL had defects in regulating mRNA translation for NANOS3, VASA, and SYCP3 - all essential for gametogenesis. Additionally, the truncated DAZL showed impaired interaction with Poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPs), a crucial component of the translation initiation complex. At the cellular level, the truncated mutation resulted in increased apoptosis of in vitro hPGCs. Our findings reveal that the c.808C>T mutation in DAZL causes dysregulated expressions of many genes, increases germ cell apoptosis and ultimately leads to POI.

Novel NR5A1 missense mutation in premature ovarian failure: detection in han chinese indicates causation in different ethnic groups.

Project description:BackgroundThe etiology of most premature ovarian failure (POF) cases is usually elusive. Although genetic causes clearly exist and a likely susceptible region of 8q22.3 has been discovered, no predominant explanation exists for POF. More recently, evidences have indicated that mutations in NR5A1 gene could be causative for POF. We therefore screened for mutations in the NR5A1 gene in a large cohort of Chinese women with non-syndromic POF.MethodsMutation screening of NR5A1 gene was performed in 400 Han Chinese women with well-defined 46,XX idiopathic non-syndromic POF and 400 controls. Subsequently, functional characterization of the novel mutation identified was evaluated in vitro.ResultsA novel heterozygous missense mutation [c.13T>G (p.Tyr5Asp)] in NR5A1 was identified in 1 of 384 patients (0.26%). This mutation impaired transcriptional activation on Amh, Inhibin-a, Cyp11a1 and Cyp19a1 gene, as shown by transactivation assays. However, no dominant negative effect was observed, nor was there impact on protein expression and nuclear localization.ConclusionsThis novel mutation p.Tyr5Asp, in a novel non-domain region, is presumed to result in haploinsufficiency. Irrespectively, perturbation in NR5A1 is not a common explanation for POF in Chinese.
