Mesomelic dysplasia Kantaputra type is associated with duplications of the HOXD locus on chromosome 2q.

ABSTRACT: Mesomelic dysplasia Kantaputra type (MDK) is characterized by marked mesomelic shortening of the upper and lower limbs originally described in a Thai family. To identify the cause of MDK, we performed array CGH and identified two microduplications on chromosome 2 (2q31.1-q31.2) encompassing ?481 and 507 kb, separated by a segment of normal copy number. The more centromeric duplication encompasses the entire HOXD cluster, as well as the neighboring genes EVX2 and MTX2. The breakpoints of the duplication localize to the same region as the previously identified inversion of the mouse mutant ulnaless (Ul), which has a similar phenotype as MDK. We propose that MDK is caused by duplications that modify the topography of the locus and as such result in deregulation of HOXD gene expression.

Mesomelic dysplasia Kantaputra type (MDK) is characterized by marked mesomelic shortening of the upper and lower limbs originally described in a Thai family. To identify the cause of MDK, we performed array CGH and identified two microduplications on chromosome 2 (2q31.1-q31.2) encompassing ∼481 and 507 kb, separated by a segment of normal copy number. The more centromeric duplication encompasses the entire HOXD cluster, as well as the neighboring genes EVX2 and MTX2. The breakpoints of the dupl ...[more]

Fryns type mesomelic dysplasia of the upper limbs caused by inverted duplications of the HOXD gene cluster.

Project description:The HoxD cluster is critical for vertebrate limb development. Enhancers located in both the telomeric and centromeric gene deserts flanking the cluster regulate the transcription of HoxD genes. In rare patients, duplications, balanced translocations or inversions misregulating HOXD genes are responsible for mesomelic dysplasia of the upper and lower limbs. By aCGH, whole-genome mate-pair sequencing, long-range PCR and fiber fluorescent in situ hybridization, we studied patients from two families displaying mesomelic dysplasia limited to the upper limbs. We identified microduplications including the HOXD cluster and showed that microduplications were in an inverted orientation and inserted between the HOXD cluster and the telomeric enhancers. Our results highlight the existence of an autosomal dominant condition consisting of isolated ulnar dysplasia caused by microduplications inserted between the HOXD cluster and the telomeric enhancers. The duplications likely disconnect the HOXD9 to HOXD11 genes from their regulatory sequences. This presumptive loss-of-function may have contributed to the phenotype. In both cases, however, these rearrangements brought HOXD13 closer to telomeric enhancers, suggesting that the alterations derive from the dominant-negative effect of this digit-specific protein when ectopically expressed during the early development of forearms, through the disruption of topologically associating domain structure at the HOXD locus.

Mesomelic dysplasias associated with the HOXD locus are caused by regulatory reallocations.

Project description:Human families with chromosomal rearrangements at 2q31, where the human HOXD locus maps, display mesomelic dysplasia, a severe shortening and bending of the limb. In mice, the dominant Ulnaless inversion of the HoxD cluster produces a similar phenotype suggesting the same origin for these malformations in humans and mice. Here we engineer 1 Mb inversion including the HoxD gene cluster, which positioned Hoxd13 close to proximal limb enhancers. Using this model, we show that these enhancers contact and activate Hoxd13 in proximal cells, inducing the formation of mesomelic dysplasia. We show that a secondary Hoxd13 null mutation in-cis with the inversion completely rescues the alterations, demonstrating that ectopic HOXD13 is directly responsible for this bone anomaly. Single-cell expression analysis and evaluation of HOXD13 binding sites suggests that the phenotype arises primarily by acting through genes normally controlled by HOXD13 in distal limb cells. Altogether, these results provide a conceptual and mechanistic framework to understand and unify the molecular origins of human mesomelic dysplasia associated with 2q31.

A Novel Dominant Mesomelic Dysplasia Associated with A 1.0-Mb Microduplication of HOXD Gene Cluster at 2q31.1

Project description:A three-generation family with four patients affected by a mesomelic dysplasia was investigated for genome-wide DNA copy number variation profiles. This revealed a microduplication of a 1.0-Mb chromosomal segment at 2q31.1 spanning nine Homeo box D (HOXD) genes that co-segregated with the phenotype. Quantitative PCR analysis of a gene within this duplicated region showed consistent results. A phenotypically similar condition, mesomelic dysplasia Kantaputra type (MDKa; MIM 156232)[1], has also been mapped to this chromosomal region[2], raising the possibility that MDKa and the condition observed in this family may be allelic. three-generation family including four affected individuals and two unaffected individuals

Mesomelic Dysplasias Associated With The HOXD Locus Are Caused By Regulatory Reallocations [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Some human families display severe shortening and bending of the radius and ulna, a condition referred to as mesomelic dysplasia. Many of these families contain chromosomal rearrangements at 2q31, where the human HOXD locus maps. In mice, the dominant X-ray-induced Ulnaless inversion of the HoxD gene cluster produces a similar phenotype suggesting that the same pathological mechanism is at work in humans and mice. A tentative hypothesis was proposed where the various alterations to the genomic structure of HOXD could translocate Hoxd13 near to proximal limb enhancers, leading to its deleterious gain-of-expression in the embryonic forelimb. We evaluated this hypothesis by engineering a ca. 1Mb large inversion including the HoxD gene cluster, in order to position Hoxd13 within a chromatin domain rich in proximal limb enhancers. We show that these enhancers contact and activate Hoxd13 in proximal cells, concomitant to the formation of a mesomelic dysplasia phenotype. A secondary mutation in the coding frame of the HOXD13 protein in-cis with the inversion completely rescued the limb alterations, demonstrating that ectopic HOXD13 is indeed the unique cause of this bone anomaly. Single cell expression analysis and evaluation of HOXD13 binding sites in cells from this ectopic expression domain suggests that the phenotype arises primarily by acting through genes normally controlled by HOXD13 in distal limb cells. Altogether, these results provide a conceptual and mechanistic framework to understand and unify the molecular origins of human mesomelic dysplasia associated with 2q31.
