Identification of a novel p.Q1772X ANK1 mutation in a Korean family with hereditary spherocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS), a common form of inherited hemolytic anemia, is a heterogeneous group of disorders with regard to clinical severity, protein defects, and mode of inheritance. Causal mutations in at least five genes have been reported so far. Because multiple genes have been associated with HS, clinical genetic testing that relies on direct sequencing will be a challenge. In this study, we used whole exome sequencing to identify a novel nonsense mutation in ANK1 (p.Q1772X, NM_020476) that resulted in a truncated protein in a Korean patient with HS. Sanger sequencing confirmed the two affected individuals in the patient's family were heterozygous for the mutation. This is the first report of a Korean family that carries an ANK1 mutation responsible for HS. Our results demonstrate that next generation sequencing is a powerful approach for rapidly determining the genetic etiology of HS.

Identification of a novel ANK1 mutation in hereditary spherocytosis co-existing with BWS.

Project description:BackgroundBeckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an inherited disorder affecting 1 in 10,500 to 13,700 newborns worldwide. The disease is caused in a vast majority of patients by a molecular defect in the imprinted chromosome 11p15.5. Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a form of hemolytic anemia associated with a variety of mutations leading to congenital red blood cell (RBC) membrane defects. The prevalence of HS varies by geographic regions around the world, ranging from 1.2 in 100,000 in Asia to 1 in 2000 in Northern Europe.Methods and resultsHerein, we report for the first time a rare case diagnosed with co-existing BWS and HS. Based on the classical presentations, including macroglossia, hepatosplenomegaly, and macrosomia, the patient was first suspected with BWS. MS-MLPA confirmed the BWS diagnosis based on hypomethylation of maternal 11p15.5 (KCNQ1OT1), but no copy number variations in chromosome 11 was detected by CNV-seq. Nevertheless, to scrutinize molecular causes of other symptoms of the patient, including anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and jaundice, a whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed. We identified a novel and de novo mutation in ANK1 gene (c.520delC). This frameshift mutation of ANK1 gene results in a truncated protein without important functional domains and impaired membrane stability and structure of the resultant red blood cells (RBCs), leading to a definitive diagnosis of HS.ConclusionThe present case demonstrated that multiple genetic and epigenetic aberrations might co-exist in the complex genetic diseases. For such kind of complicated cases, the different types of molecular tests, such as WES and MS-MLPA, should be utilized in combination to reveal independent causal molecular events. The identifications from this study added new insights into the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the co-existing HS and BWS.

Identification of a novel <i>de novo</i> ANK1 R1426* nonsense mutation in a Chinese family with hereditary spherocytosis by NGS.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited heterogeneous hemolytic anemia, characterized by the presence of spherical-shaped erythrocytes on the peripheral blood smear, and the clinical manifestation ranges from asymptomatic to severely anemic, and transfusion-dependent patients. Mutations in at least five genes (ANK1, EPB42, SLC4A1, SPTA1, and SPTB) have been identified so far, and mutations of ANK1 gene are responsible for the majority of all HS cases. In this study, targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) was applied to identify a novel de novo ANK1 c.4276C>T (p.R1426*) nonsense mutation in a Chinese family with a patient of HS who was diagnosed clinically with only 10% spherical-shaped erythrocytes in the peripheral blood and received splenectomy. Sanger sequencing further confirmed that only the patient carried heterozygous ANK1 c.4276C>T nonsense mutation, while none of his parents or his young brother carried this mutation. Moreover, consistent with the genetic findings, the anemia was ameliorated after splenectomy. RBCs increased from 2.74 × 1012/L pre-surgery to 4.76 × 1012/L one month post-surgery, and hemoglobin increased from 66g/L to 126g/L respectively. This is the first report of ANK1 c.4276C>T (p.R1426*) heterozygous nonsense mutation responsible for HS. Our results also demonstrate that targeted NGS may provide a powerful approach for rapid genetic test of HS.

A de novo ANK1 mutation associated to hereditary spherocytosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundHereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a type of hemolytic anemia caused by abnormal red cell membrane skeletal proteins with few unique clinical manifestations in the neonate and infant. An ANK1 gene mutation is the most common cause of HS.Case presentationThe patient was a 11-month-old boy who suffered from anemia and needed a regular transfusion therapy at an interval of 2-3 months. Hematological investigations showed moderate anemia (Hb80 g/L). Red cells displayed microcytosis (MCV76.4 fl, MCH25.6 pg, MCHC335 g/L). The reticulocytes were elevated (4.8%) and the spherocytes were increased (10%). Direct antiglobulin test was negative. Biochemical test indicated a slight elevation of bilirubin, mainly indirect reacting (TBIL32.5 μmol/L, IBIL24 μmol/L). The neonatal HS ratio is 4.38, obviously up the threshold. Meanwhile, a de novo ANK1 mutation (exon 25:c.2693dupC:p.A899Sfs*11) was identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Thus, hereditary spherocytosis was finally diagnosed.ConclusionsGene detection should be considered in some hemolytic anemia which is difficult to diagnose by routine means. We identified a novel de novo ANK1 heterozygous frameshift mutation in a Yi nationality patient while neither of his parents carried this mutation.

Novel nonsense mutation p. Gln264Ter in the ANK1 confirms causative role for hereditary spherocytosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundHereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common haemolytic anaemia caused by congenital membrane defects of red blood cells. The name derives from the presence of spherical red blood cells in the peripheral blood. Clinical manifestations of HS are anaemia, haemolytic jaundice, and large spleen, and infection can worsen the condition, often with cholelithiasis. HS is mainly caused by abnormal functions of the products of six genes. Splenectomy is the main treatment for HS.Case presentationHalf a day after birth, the proband exhibited HS-related symptoms, with progressive aggravation. Routine examination in the outpatient department showed an increase in white blood cells and a decrease in red blood cells. His mother had HS and a partial splenectomy. We suspected that the infant might also have HS. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from the three members of the HS trio pedigree, and genomic whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed. The three DNA samples were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by Sanger sequencing to identify mutation sites. A novel nonsense heterozygous mutation, c.790C > T (p. Gln264Ter), in the ANK1 gene, which causes premature termination of translation, was found in this Chinese family with autosomal dominant HS.ConclusionsThis de novo nonsense mutation can cause the onset of HS in early childhood, with severe symptoms. Expanding the ANK1 genotype mutation spectrum will lay a foundation for the further application of mutation screening in genetic counselling.

Two novel ANK1 loss-of-function mutations in Chinese families with hereditary spherocytosis.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common inherited haemolytic anaemia disorder. ANK1 mutations account for most HS cases, but pathogenicity analysis and functional research have not been widely performed for these mutations. In this study, in order to confirm diagnosis, gene mutation was screened in two unrelated Chinese families with HS by a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel and then confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Two novel heterozygous mutations (c.C841T, p.R281X and c.T290G, p.L97R) of the ANK1 gene were identified in the two families respectively. Then, the pathogenicity of the two new mutations and two previously reported ANK1 mutations (c.C648G, p.Y216X and c.G424T, p.E142X) were studied by in vitro experiments. The four mutations increased the osmotic fragility of cells, reduced the stabilities of ANK1 proteins and prevented the protein from localizing to the plasma membrane and interacting with SPTB and SLC4A1. We classified these four mutations into disease-causing mutations for HS. Thus, conducting the same mutation test and providing genetic counselling for the two families were meaningful and significant. Moreover, the identification of two novel mutations enriches the ANK1 mutation database, especially in China.

Targeted next-generation sequencing identifies a novel nonsense mutation in SPTB for hereditary spherocytosis: A case report of a Korean family.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited disorder characterized by the presence of spherical-shaped red blood cells (RBCs) on the peripheral blood (PB) smear. To date, a number of mutations in 5 genes have been identified and the mutations in SPTB gene account for about 20% patients.A 65-year-old female had been diagnosed as hemolytic anemia 30 years ago, based on a history of persistent anemia and hyperbilirubinemia for several years. She received RBC transfusion several times and a cholecystectomy roughly 20 years ago before. Round, densely staining spherical-shaped erythrocytes (spherocytes) were frequently found on the PB smear. Numerous spherocytes were frequently found in the PB smears of symptomatic family members, her 3rd son and his 2 grandchildren.One heterozygous mutation of SPTB was identified by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). The nonsense mutation, c.1956G>A (p.Trp652*), in exon 13 was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and thus the proband was diagnosed with HS.The proband underwent a splenectomy due to transfusion-refractory anemia and splenomegaly.After the splenectomy, her hemoglobin level improved to normal range (14.1?g/dL) and her bilirubin levels decreased dramatically (total bilirubin 1.9?mg/dL; direct bilirubin 0.6?mg/dL).We suggest that NGS of causative genes could be a useful diagnostic tool for the genetically heterogeneous RBC membrane disorders, especially in cases with a mild or atypical clinical manifestation.

A novel ENU-generated truncation mutation lacking the spectrin-binding and C-terminal regulatory domains of Ank1 models severe hemolytic hereditary spherocytosis.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a heterogeneous group of spontaneously arising and inherited red blood cell disorders ranging from very mild subclinical cases to severe and life-threatening cases, with symptoms linked directly to the severity of the mutation at the molecular level. We investigated a novel mouse model in which the heterozygotes present with the diagnostic hallmarks of mild HS and surviving homozygotes phenocopy severe hemolytic HS.We used N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis to generate random point mutations in the mouse genome and a dominant screen to identify mouse models of human hematopoietic disease. Gene mapping of the HS strain revealed a unique in-frame nonsense mutation arising from a single base transversion in exon 27 of Ank1 (strain designation: Ank1(E924X)). Employing conventional hematopoietic, pathological, biochemical, and cell biology assays, we characterized heterozygous and homozygous Ank1(E924X) mice at the biochemical, cellular, and pathophysiological levels.Although Ank1(E924X/E924X) red blood cell ghosts lack abundant full-length ankyrin-1 isoforms, N-terminal epitope ankyrin-1 antibodies reveal a band consistent with the theoretical size of a truncated mutant ankyrin-1. Using domain-specific antibodies, we further show that this protein lacks both a spectrin-binding domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain. Finally, using antisera that detect C-terminal residues of the products of alternative Ank1 transcripts, we find unique immunoreactive bands not observed in red blood cell ghosts from wild-type or Ank1(E924X) heterozygous mice, including a band similar in size to full-length ankyrin-1.The Ank1(E924X) strain provides a novel tool to study Ank1 and model HS.

Identification of a De Novoc.1000delA ANK1 mutation associated to hereditary spherocytosis in a neonate with Coombs-negative hemolytic jaundice-case reports and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundTo strengthen the understanding of Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS) and determine the disease-causing mutation present with neonatal jaundice. HS is a hemolytic condition resulting from various erythrocyte membrane defects. Many different mutations result in HS, including mutations in ANK1.Case presentationA term neonate presented at ten hours with severe jaundice requiring exchange transfusion. At two months he was hospitalized due to repeated pallor and anemia requiring blood transfusions. Using next-generation sequencing, we discovered the responsible mutation in the proband but not in his parents; a heterozygous nucleotide variation of c.1000delA (p.1334Sfs*6) in ANK1. Thus hereditary spherocytosis was diagnosed.ConclusionsGenetic detection is an important means of discovering the cause of hemolytic anemia in neonates and infants where routine diagnostic tests are unrevealing. We found a novel de novo mutation, c.1000delA (p.1334Sfs*6) in ANK1 that might account for other cases of HS in the Chinese population.
