Cornelia de Lange syndrome with NIPBL mutation and mosaic Turner syndrome in the same individual.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a dominantly inherited disorder characterized by facial dysmorphism, growth and cognitive impairment, limb malformations and multiple organ involvement. Mutations in NIPBL gene account for about 60% of patients with CdLS. This gene encodes a key regulator of the Cohesin complex, which controls sister chromatid segregation during both mitosis and meiosis. Turner syndrome (TS) results from the partial or complete absence of one of the X chromosomes, usually associated with congenital lymphedema, short stature, and gonadal dysgenesis. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a four-year-old female with CdLS due to a frameshift mutation in the NIPBL gene (c.1445_1448delGAGA), who also had a tissue-specific mosaic 45,X/46,XX karyotype. The patient showed a severe form of CdLS with craniofacial dysmorphism, pre- and post-natal growth delay, cardiovascular abnormalities, hirsutism and severe psychomotor retardation with behavioural problems. She also presented with minor clinical features consistent with TS, including peripheral lymphedema and webbed neck. The NIPBL mutation was present in the two tissues analysed from different embryonic origins (peripheral blood lymphocytes and oral mucosa epithelial cells). However, the percentage of cells with monosomy X was low and variable in tissues. These findings indicate that, ontogenically, the NIPBL mutation may have appeared before the mosaic monosomy X. CONCLUSIONS: The coexistence in several patients of these two rare disorders raises the issue of whether there is indeed a cause-effect association. The detailed clinical descriptions indicate predominant CdLS phenotype, although additional TS manifestations may appear in adolescence.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome due to mosaic NIPBL mutation: antenatal presentation with sacrococcygeal teratoma.

Project description:A male infant at 36 weeks gestation was born by section. At 20 weeks of gestation, congenital diaphragmatic hernia and sacrococcygeal teratoma had been seen on ultrasound. At birth, the infant had features suggestive of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). He remained hypoxic despite aggressive ventilatory manoeuvres and was palliated. At postmortem, the lungs were hypoplastic. In CdLS, mutations in NIPBL are found in around 50% of cases. Mutation analysis, including multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification of the NIPBL gene from the DNA extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes was negative, but microarray comparative genomic hybridisation on DNA from skin fibroblast showed a 0.13Mb deletion on chromosome 5p13. The deleted region includes exons 42-47 of the NIPBL gene. It is important to perform NIBPL mutation analysis on DNA from more than one tissue when testing for CdLS.

De novo NIPBL Mutations in Vietnamese Patients with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a rare congenital genetic disease causing abnormal unique facial phenotypes, several defects in organs and body parts, and mental disorder or intellectual disorder traits. Main causes of CdLS have been reported as variants in cohesin complex genes, in which mutations in the NIPBL gene have been estimated to account for up to 80%. Our study included three Vietnamese patients with typical CdLS phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing revealed two known heterozygous mutations c.6697G>A (p.Val2233Met) and c.2602C>T (p.Arg868X), and a novel heterozygous mutation c.4504delG (p.Val1502fsX87) in the NIPBL gene of the three patients. In silico analyses of the identified mutations predicted possible damaging and truncating effects on the NIPBL protein. Inherited analyses in the patients' families showed that all of the mutations are de novo. Our results lead a definitive diagnosis of patients with CdLS and expand the spectrum of mutations in the NIPBL gene. These findings also confirm whole exome sequencing is an efficient tool for genetic screening of CdLS.

[NIPBL gene mutations in two children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome].

Project description:Both children (one boy and one girl) experienced disease onset in infancy and visited the hospital due to growth retardation. They had unusual facies including thick hair, arched and confluent eyebrows, long and curly eyelashes, short nose, and micrognathia. Patient 1 had congenital heart disease (atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) and special dermatoglyph (a single palmar crease). Patient 2 had cleft palate and moderate-to-severe deafness. Clinical features suggested Cornelia de Lange syndrome in both children. High-throughput sequencing was used to detect the seven known pathogenic genes of Cornelia de Lange syndrome, i.e., the NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, HDAC8, RAD21, EP300, and ANKRD11 genes. Sanger sequencing was used to analyze and verify gene mutations. Both patients were found to have novel mutations in the NIPBL gene. One patient had a frameshift mutation in exon 45, c.7834dupA, which caused early termination of translation and produced truncated protein p.R2612fsX20. The other patient had a nonsense mutation, c.505C>T, which caused a premature stop codon and produced truncated protein Q169X. Such mutations were not found in their parents or 50 unrelated healthy individuals.

Spectrum of NIPBL gene mutations in Polish patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare multi-system genetic disorder characterised by growth and developmental delay, distinctive facial dysmorphism, limb malformations and multiple organ defects. The disease is caused by mutations in genes responsible for the formation and regulation of cohesin complex. About half of the cases result from mutations in the NIPBL gene coding delangin, a protein regulating the initialisation of cohesion. To date, approximately 250 point mutations have been identified in more than 300 CdLS patients worldwide. In the present study, conducted on a group of 64 unrelated Polish CdLS patients, 25 various NIPBL sequence variants, including 22 novel point mutations, were detected. Additionally, large genomic deletions on chromosome 5p13 encompassing the NIPBL gene locus were detected in two patients with the most severe CdLS phenotype. Taken together, 42 % of patients were found to have a deleterious alteration affecting the NIPBL gene, by and large private ones (89 %). The review of the types of mutations found so far in Polish patients, their frequency and correlation with the severity of the observed phenotype shows that Polish CdLS cases do not significantly differ from other populations.

Mosaic Intronic <i>NIPBL</i> Variant in a Family With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a well described multiple malformation syndrome caused by alterations in genes encoding subunits or regulators of the cohesin complex. In approximately 70% of CdLS patients, pathogenic NIPBL variants are detected and 15% of them are predicted to affect splicing. Moreover, a large portion of genetic variants in NIPBL was shown to be somatic mosaicism. Here we report two family members with different expression of the CdLS phenotype. In both individuals, a c.869-2A>G (r.869_1495del) substitution was detected, affecting a conserved splice-acceptor site. Deep sequencing revealed the presence of somatic mosaicism in the mother. The substitution was detected in 23% of the sequencing reads using DNA derived from blood samples and 51% in DNA from buccal swabs. The analysis of blood DNA of the son excluded the presence of somatic mosaicism. Correlation of molecular and clinical data revealed that various distribution of genetic alteration in different cell types had an impact on the expression of observed clinical features in both individuals.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome mutations in NIPBL can impair cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a developmental multisystem disorder frequently associated with mutations in NIPBL. CdLS is thought to arise from developmental gene regulation defects, but how NIPBL mutations cause these is unknown. Here we show that several NIPBL mutations impair the DNA loop extrusion activity of cohesin. Because this activity is required for the formation of chromatin loops and topologically associating domains, which have important roles in gene regulation, our results suggest that defects in cohesin-mediated loop extrusion contribute to the etiology of CdLS by altering interactions between developmental genes and their enhancers.

NIPBL rearrangements in Cornelia de Lange syndrome: evidence for replicative mechanism and genotype-phenotype correlation.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multisystem congenital anomaly disorder characterized by mental retardation, limb abnormalities, distinctive facial features, and hirsutism. Mutations in three genes involved in sister chromatid cohesion, NIPBL, SMC1A, and SMC3, account for ~55% of CdLS cases. The molecular etiology of a significant fraction of CdLS cases remains unknown. We hypothesized that large genomic rearrangements of cohesin complex subunit genes may play a role in the molecular etiology of this disorder.Custom high-resolution oligonucleotide array comparative genomic hybridization analyses interrogating candidate cohesin genes and breakpoint junction sequencing of identified genomic variants were performed.Of the 162 patients with CdLS, for whom mutations in known CdLS genes were previously negative by sequencing, deletions containing NIPBL exons were observed in 7 subjects (~5%). Breakpoint sequences in five patients implicated microhomology-mediated replicative mechanisms-such as serial replication slippage and fork stalling and template switching/microhomology-mediated break-induced replication-as a potential predominant contributor to these copy number variations. Most deletions are predicted to result in haploinsufficiency due to heterozygous loss-of-function mutations; such mutations may result in a more severe CdLS phenotype.Our findings suggest a potential clinical utility to testing for copy number variations involving NIPBL when clinically diagnosed CdLS cases are mutation-negative by DNA-sequencing studies.

BRD4 interacts with NIPBL and BRD4 is mutated in a Cornelia de Lange-like syndrome.

Project description:We found that the clinical phenotype associated with BRD4 haploinsufficiency overlapped with that of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), which is most often caused by mutation of NIPBL. More typical CdLS was observed with a de novo BRD4 missense variant, which retained the ability to coimmunoprecipitate with NIPBL, but bound poorly to acetylated histones. BRD4 and NIPBL displayed correlated binding at super-enhancers and appeared to co-regulate developmental gene expression.

Case Report: Novel <i>NIPBL</i> Variants Cause Cornelia de Lange Syndrome in Chinese Patients.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a genetic disorder characterized by multisystemic malformations. Mutation in the NIPBL gene accounts for nearly 60% of the cases. This study reports the clinical and genetic findings of three cases of CdLS from unrelated Chinese families. Clinically, all the three cases were classified as classic CdLS based on the cardinal (distinctive facial features and limb malformations) and suggestive (developmental delay, growth retardation, microcephaly, hirsutism, etc.) manifestations. SNP array detected a novel de novo heterozygous microdeletion of 0.2 Mb [arr[GRCh37]5p13.2(36848530_37052821) × 1] that spans the first 43 exons of NIPBL in the fetus with nuchal translucency thickening in case 1. Whole-exome sequencing in family trios plus Sanger sequencing validation identified a de novo heterozygous NIPBL c.5566G>A (p.R1856G) mutation in the fetus with intrauterine growth retardation in case 2 and a novel de novo heterozygous NIPBL c.448dupA (p.S150Kfs*23) mutation in the proband (an 8-month-old girl) in case 3. The cases presented in this study may serve as references for increasing our understanding of the mutation spectrum of NIPBL in association with CdLS.
