Adult-onset renal failure in a family with Alagille syndrome with proteinuria and a novel JAG1 mutation.

ABSTRACT: Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal-dominant multi-organ disorder involving the liver, heart, eyes, face and skeleton. In addition, various renal abnormalities have also been reported in several cases. We describe a patient with a novel frameshift mutation in exon 12 of the JAG1 gene who presented with chronic renal failure. In this family, five members of three generations had clinical features implicated in AGS. Three members had adult-onset renal dysfunction with proteinuria, and two of them required haemodialysis therapy. AGS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of proteinuric renal disease, even in adult patients.

[Identification of a novel JAG1 mutation in a family affected by Alagille syndrome].

Project description:Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder which is mainly caused by JAG1 gene mutation and can affect multiple systems including the liver, heart, eyes, skeleton and face. This paper reports the clinical and genetic features of an ALGS patient. A 2-year-and-9-month-old boy was referred to the hospital with the complaint of abnormal liver function and heart murmur discovered over two years. Jaundice of the skin and sclera was not observed. The child had a prominent forehead, left esotropia, depressed nasal bridge and micromandible. The two lungs were clear on auscultation, but a systolic cardiac murmur of grade 2/6 could be heard between the 2nd and 3rd intercostal space at the left sternal border. Neither abdominal distension nor enlarged liver or spleen was discovered. X-ray radiography uncovered butterfly malformation of the 6th and 8th thoracic vertebrae. Serum biochemistry analysis revealed elevation of total bile acids, bilirubin and transaminases. Based on the clinical characteristics and the consultation opinion of the ophthalmologist, the child was diagnosed to have ALGS with Duane retraction syndrome. DNA direct sequencing detected a novel JAG1 mutation c.2419delG(p.Glu807AsnfsX819) in the child. Symptomatic and supportive therapy was performed thereafter and clinical follow-up was conducted until he was 4 years and 2 months. In the follow-up visits, his general condition remained stable, but the facial malformations, left esotropia, cardiac murmur and abnormal liver function persistend. The long-term outcome needed to be observed.

A Novel c.91dupG JAG1 Gene Mutation Is Associated with Early Onset and Severe Alagille Syndrome.

Project description:Alagille syndrome (MIM 118450) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, chronic cholestasis, pulmonary stenosis, butterfly-like vertebrae, posterior embryotoxon, and dysmorphic facial features. Most cases are caused by JAG1 gene mutations. We report the case of a 2-year-old Mexican mestizo patient with Alagille syndrome, having exhibited jaundice and cholestatic syndrome as of three weeks of age. Sequencing analysis of the JAG1 gene revealed the novel heterozygous mutation c.91dupG that originates a truncated protein and therefore a possibly diminished activation of the Notch signaling pathway. The latter may explain the severe phenotype of the patient. Since the mutation was not identified in the parents, it was considered a de novo event, highlighting the importance of molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling. In conclusion, this report widens the spectrum of JAG1 gene mutations associated with Alagille syndrome.

Alagille Syndrome: A Novel Mutation in <i>JAG1</i> Gene.

Project description:Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder with variable phenotypic penetrance, caused by heterozygous mutations in JAG1 or NOTCH2, encoding for the components of the Notch signaling pathway. In this paper, we described a novel mutation not yet reported in literature. This 3-years old male child was referred to our Clinical Genetics Unit because of delayed psychomotor development, systolic murmur, dysmorphic facial features, and hypertransaminasemia. The novel JAG1 heterozygous c.2026delT variant in exon 16 was found. JAG1 mutations are classified as protein truncating and non-protein truncating, without any genotype-phenotype correlation. The detected mutation determines a stop codon (p.Cys676AlafsTer67) in the gene sequence, encoding a truncated protein. Our report broadens the spectrum of JAG1 gene mutations.

JAG1 Mutation Spectrum and Origin in Chinese Children with Clinical Features of Alagille Syndrome.

Project description:Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from defects in the Notch signaling pathway, which is most frequently due to JAG1 mutations. This study investigated the rate, spectrum, and origin of JAG1 mutations in 91 Chinese children presenting with at least two clinical features of Alagille syndrome (cholestasis, heart murmur, skeletal abnormalities, ocular abnormalities, characteristic facial features, and renal abnormalities). Direct sequencing and/or multiplex-ligation-dependent probe amplification were performed in these patients, and segregation analysis was performed using samples available from the parents. JAG1 disease-causing mutations were detected in 70/91 (76.9%) patients, including 29/70 (41.4%) small deletions, 6/70 (8.6%) small insertions, 16/70 (22.9%) nonsense mutations, 8/70 (11.4%) splice-site mutations, 6/70 (9.4%) missense mutations, and 5/70 (7.1%) gross deletions. Of the mutations detected, 45/62 (72.6%) were novel, and almost all were unique, with the exception of c.439C>T, c.439+1G>A, c.703C>T, c.1382_1383delAC, c.2698C>T, and c.2990C>A, which were detected in two cases each; three cases exhibited entire gene deletions. A majority (69.2%) of the point and frameshift mutations could be detected by the sequencing of eleven exons (exons 3, 5, 6, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, and 23-25). The mutation detection rate was 50.0% (10/20) in atypical cases that only presented with two or three clinical features of Alagille syndrome. Segregation analysis revealed that 81.1% (30/37) of these mutations were de novo. In conclusion, JAG1 mutations are present in the majority of Chinese pediatric patients with clinical features of Alagille syndrome, and the mutations concentrate on different exons from other reports. Genetic study is important for the diagnosis of atypical Alagille syndrome in Chinese patients.

Alagille syndrome mutation update: Comprehensive overview of JAG1 and NOTCH2 mutation frequencies and insight into missense variant classification.

Project description:Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with a known molecular etiology of dysfunctional Notch signaling caused primarily by pathogenic variants in JAGGED1 (JAG1), but also by variants in NOTCH2. The majority of JAG1 variants result in loss of function, however disease has also been attributed to lesser understood missense variants. Conversely, the majority of NOTCH2 variants are missense, though fewer of these variants have been described. In addition, there is a small group of patients with a clear clinical phenotype in the absence of a pathogenic variant. Here, we catalog our single-center study, which includes 401 probands and 111 affected family members amassed over a 27-year period, to provide updated mutation frequencies in JAG1 and NOTCH2 as well as functional validation of nine missense variants. Combining our cohort of 86 novel JAG1 and three novel NOTCH2 variants with previously published data (totaling 713 variants), we present the most comprehensive pathogenic variant overview for Alagille syndrome. Using this data set, we developed new guidance to help with the classification of JAG1 missense variants. Finally, we report clinically consistent cases for which a molecular etiology has not been identified and discuss the potential for next generation sequencing methodologies in novel variant discovery.

Novel JAG1 Deletion Variant in Patient with Atypical Alagille Syndrome.

Project description:Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by various degrees of abnormalities in the liver, heart, eyes, vertebrae, kidneys, face, vasculature, skeleton, and pancreas. This case report describes a newborn child exhibiting a congenital neural tube defect and peculiar craniofacial appearance characterized by a prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, bulbous nasal tip, and subtle upper lip. Just a few hours after birth, congenital heart disease was suspected for cyanosis and confirmed by heart evaluation. In particular, echocardiography indicated pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect with severe hypoplasia of the pulmonary branches (1.5 mm), large patent ductus arteriosus and several major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Due to the association of peculiar craniofacial appearance and congenital heart disease, a form of Alagille syndrome was suspected. In addition, on the fifth day after birth, the patient developed jaundice, had acholic stools, and high levels of conjugated bilirubin and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) were detected in the blood. Genetic testing revealed the novel variant c.802del in a single copy of the JAG1 gene. No variants in the NOTCH2 gene were detected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first clinical description of a congenital neural tube defect in a molecularly confirmed Alagille patient. This work demonstrates a novel pathogenic heterozygous JAG1 mutation is associated with an atypical form of Alagille syndrome, suggesting an increased risk for neural tube defects compared to other Alagille patients.

Spectrum of JAG1 gene mutations in Polish patients with Alagille syndrome.

Project description:Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities in several organs including the liver, heart, eyes, vertebrae, kidneys, and face. The majority (90-94%) of ALGS cases are caused by mutations in the JAG1 (JAGGED1) gene, and in a small percent of patients (∼1%) mutations in the NOTCH2 gene have been described. Both genes are involved in the Notch signaling pathway. To date, over 440 different JAG1 gene mutations and ten NOTCH2 mutations have been identified in ALGS patients. The present study was conducted on a group of 35 Polish ALGS patients and revealed JAG1 gene mutations in 26 of them. Twenty-three different mutations were detected including 13 novel point mutations and six large deletions affecting the JAG1 gene. Review of all mutations identified to date in individuals from Poland allowed us to propose an effective diagnostic strategy based on the mutations identified in the reported patients of Polish descent. However, the distribution of mutations seen in this cohort was not substantively different than the mutation distribution in other reported populations.

Novel JAG1 variants leading to Alagille syndrome in two Chinese cases.

Project description:Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by cholestasis, congenital cardiac anomalies, and butterfly vertebrae. The variable phenotypic expression of ALGS can lead to challenges in accurately diagnosing affected infants, potentially resulting in misdiagnoses or underdiagnoses. This study highlights novel JAG1 gene mutations in two cases of ALGS. The first case with a novel p.Pro325Leufs*87 variant was diagnosed at 2 months of age and exhibited a favorable prognosis and an unexpected manifestation of congenital hypothyroidism. Before the age of 2, the second patient was incorrectly diagnosed with liver structural abnormalities, necessitating extensive treatment. In addition, he exhibited delays in language acquisition that may have been a result of SNAP25 haploinsufficiency. The identification of ALGS remains challenging, highlighting the importance of early detection and genetic testing for effective patient management. The variant p.Pro325Leufs*87 is distinct from reported variants linked to congenital hypothyroidism in ALGS patients, thereby further confirming the clinical and genetic complexity of ALGS. This emphasizes the critical need for individualized and innovative approaches to diagnosis and medical interventions, uniquely intended to address the complexity of this syndrome.

Polymorphism analysis and new JAG1 gene mutations of Alagille syndrome in Mexican population.

Project description:Alagille syndrome is a multisystem disorder with an autosomic dominant pattern of inheritance that affects the liver, heart, eyes, kidneys, skeletal system and presents characteristic facial features. Mutations of the JAG1 gene have been identified in 20-89% of the patients with Alagille syndrome, this gene encodes for a ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway. In the present study we analyzed 9 Mexican patients with Alagille syndrome who presented the clinical criteria for the classical presentation of the disease. By using the denaturing high performance liquid chromatography mutation analysis we were able to identify different mutations in 7 of the patients (77.77%), importantly, we found 5 novel mutations in JAG1 gene. The allelic frequency distribution of 13 polymorphisms in Mexican population is also reported. The overall results demonstrated an expanding mutational spectrum of JAG1 gene in the Mexican population.

Targeted Sequencing and RNA Assay Reveal a Noncanonical JAG1 Splicing Variant Causing Alagille Syndrome.

Project description:Alagille syndrome (ALGS), as known as congenital arteriohepatic dysplasia, is a rare autosomal dominant multi-systemic disorder. Mutations in JAG1 or more rarely NOTCH2 have been reported as the cause of ALGS. In this study, a 5-year old girl with typical ALGS feature and her pregnant mother came to our reproductive genetics clinic for counseling. We aimed to clarify the genetic diagnosis and provide prenatal genetic diagnosis for the pregnant. Next generation sequencing (NGS)-based multigene panel was used to identify pathogenic variant of the proband. Then the candidate variant was verified by using Sanger sequencing. RNA assay was performed to clarify splicing effect of the candidate variant. Amniocentesis, karyotyping, and Sanger sequencing were performed for prenatal testing. We found a novel de novo noncanonical JAG1 splicing variant (c.2917-8C > A) in the proband. Peripheral blood RNA assay suggested that the mutant transcript might escape nonsense-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) decay (NMD) and encode a C-terminal truncated protein. Information of the variant has resulted in a successful prenatal diagnosis of the fetus. Our results clarified the genetic diagnosis of an ALGS patient and ensured utility of prenatal genetic testing.
