A Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia.

ABSTRACT: Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which started in early childhood. We analyzed CLCN1 sequence in this patient and other members of his family. We found a new missense mutation in CLCN1 gene (c.1886T>C, p.Leu629Pro). Co-segregation of this mutation with the disease was demonstrated by direct sequencing of the fragment in affected as well as unaffected members of this family. In addition, in silico analyses predicted that this nucleotide change would impair the protein function. Thus, this new nucleotide variation can be used for prenatal diagnosis in this family.

Myotonia congenita: novel mutations in CLCN1 gene.

Project description:Myotonia congenita belongs to the group of non-dystrophic myotonia caused by mutations of CLCN1gene, which encodes human skeletal muscle chloride channel 1. It can be inherited either in autosomal dominant (Thomsen disease) or recessive (Becker disease) forms. Here we have sequenced all 23 exons and exon-intron boundaries of the CLCN1 gene, in a panel of 5 unrelated Chinese patients with myotonia congenita (2 with dominant and 3 with recessive form). In addition, detailed clinical analysis was performed in these patients to summarize their clinical characteristics in relation to their genotypes. Mutational analyses revealed 7 different point mutations. Of these, we have found 3 novel mutations including 2 missense (R47W, V229M), one splicing (IVS19+2T>C), and 4 known mutations (Y261C,G523D, M560T, G859D). Our data expand the spectrum of CLCN1 mutations and provide insights for genotype-phenotype correlations of myotonia congenita in the Chinese population.

A novel mutation in CLCN1 associated with feline myotonia congenita.

Project description:Myotonia congenita (MC) is a skeletal muscle channelopathy characterized by inability of the muscle to relax following voluntary contraction. Worldwide population prevalence in humans is 1:100,000. Studies in mice, dogs, humans and goats confirmed myotonia associated with functional defects in chloride channels and mutations in a skeletal muscle chloride channel (CLCN1). CLCN1 encodes for the most abundant chloride channel in the skeletal muscle cell membrane. Five random bred cats from Winnipeg, Canada with MC were examined. All cats had a protruding tongue, limited range of jaw motion and drooling with prominent neck and proximal limb musculature. All cats had blepharospasm upon palpebral reflex testing and a short-strided gait. Electromyograms demonstrated myotonic discharges at a mean frequency of 300 Hz resembling the sound of a 'swarm of bees'. Muscle histopathology showed hypertrophy of all fiber types. Direct sequencing of CLCN1 revealed a mutation disrupting a donor splice site downstream of exon 16 in only the affected cats. In vitro translation of the mutated protein predicted a premature truncation and partial lack of the highly conserved CBS1 (cystathionine β-synthase) domain critical for ion transport activity and one dimerization domain pivotal in channel formation. Genetic screening of the Winnipeg random bred population of the cats' origin identified carriers of the mutation. A genetic test for population screening is now available and carrier cats from the feral population can be identified.

A novel HSF4 gene mutation (p.R405X) causing autosomal recessive congenital cataracts in a large consanguineous family from Pakistan.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Hereditary cataracts are most frequently inherited as autosomal dominant traits, but can also be inherited in an autosomal recessive or X-linked fashion. To date, 12 loci for autosomal recessive cataracts have been mapped including a locus on chromosome 16q22 containing the disease-causing gene HSF4 (Genbank accession number NM_001040667). Here, we describe a family from Pakistan with the first nonsense mutation in HSF4 thus expanding the mutational spectrum of this heat shock transcription factor gene. METHODS: A large consanguineous Pakistani family with autosomal recessive cataracts was collected from Quetta. Genetic linkage analysis was performed for the common known autosomal recessive cataracts loci and linkage to a locus containing HSF4 (OMIM 602438) was found. All exons and adjacent splice sites of the heat shock transcription factor 4 gene (HSF4) were sequenced. A mutation-specific restriction enzyme digest (HphI) was performed for all family members and unrelated controls. RESULTS: The disease phenotype perfectly co-segregated with markers flanking the known cataract gene HSF4, whereas other autosomal recessive loci were excluded. A maximum two-point LOD score with a Zmax=5.6 at theta=0 was obtained for D16S421. Direct sequencing of HSF4 revealed the nucleotide exchange c.1213C>T in this family predicting an arginine to stop codon exchange (p.R405X). CONCLUSION: We identified the first nonsense mutation (p.R405X) in exon 11 of HSF4 in a large consanguineous Pakistani family with autosomal recessive cataract.

Targeted gene sequencing of FYCO1 identified a novel mutation in a Pakistani family for autosomal recessive congenital cataract.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital cataract is causing one-third of blindness worldwide. Congenital cataract is heterogeneous in its inheritance patterns. The current study is aimed to explore the unknown genetic causes underlying congenital cataracts.MethodsBlood samples from affected and normal individuals of n = 25 Pakistani families identified with congenital cataracts were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted and Sanger sequencing was performed to identify novel pathogenic variants in the FYCO1 (MIM#607182) gene. Later structural bioinformatics tools and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to analyze the impact of these variants on protein structure and function.ResultsSanger sequencing resulted in the identification of a novel splice site mutation (NM_024513.3: c.3151-29_3151-7del) segregating in an autosomal recessive manner. This novel variant was confirmed to be absent in the n = 300 population controls. Further, bioinformatics tools revealed the formation of a mutant protein with a loss of the Znf domain. In addition, we also found a previously known (c.4127 T > C; p.Leu1376Pro) mutation in four families. We also report a novel heterozygous variant (c.3419G > A; p.Arg1140Gln) in another family.ConclusionsIn conclusion, we report a novel deletion (NM_024513.3: c.3151-29_3151-7del) in one family and a frequent homozygous missense mutation (c.4127 T > C; p.Leu1376Pro) in four Pakistani families. The current research highlights the importance of autophagy in lens development and maintaining its transparency.

A novel autosomal recessive GJA1 missense mutation linked to Craniometaphyseal dysplasia.

Project description:Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a rare sclerosing skeletal disorder with progressive hyperostosis of craniofacial bones. CMD can be inherited in an autosomal dominant (AD) trait or occur after de novo mutations in the pyrophosphate transporter ANKH. Although the autosomal recessive (AR) form of CMD had been mapped to 6q21-22 the mutation has been elusive. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing for one subject with AR CMD and identified a novel missense mutation (c.716G>A, p.Arg239Gln) in the C-terminus of the gap junction protein alpha-1 (GJA1) coding for connexin 43 (Cx43). We confirmed this mutation in 6 individuals from 3 additional families. The homozygous mutation cosegregated only with affected family members. Connexin 43 is a major component of gap junctions in osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. Gap junctions are responsible for the diffusion of low molecular weight molecules between cells. Mutations in Cx43 cause several dominant and recessive disorders involving developmental abnormalities of bone such as dominant and recessive oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD; MIM #164200, 257850) and isolated syndactyly type III (MIM #186100), the characteristic digital anomaly in ODDD. However, characteristic ocular and dental features of ODDD as well as syndactyly are absent in patients with the recessive Arg239Gln Cx43 mutation. Bone remodeling mechanisms disrupted by this novel Cx43 mutation remain to be elucidated.

A novel missense mutation in the ACTG1 gene in a family with congenital autosomal dominant deafness: A case report.

Project description:The ACTG1 gene encodes the cytoskeletal protein ?-actin, which functions in non?muscle cells and is abundant in the auditory hair cells of the cochlea. Autosomal dominant missense mutations in ACTG1 are associated with DFNA20/26, a disorder that is typically characterized by post?lingual progressive hearing loss. To date, 17 missense mutations in ACTG1 have been reported in 20 families with DFNA20/26. The present study described a small family with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss. A novel heterozygous missense mutation, c.94C>T (p.Pro32Ser), in ACTG1 was identified using the TruSight One sequencing panel. Notably, congenital hearing loss in our proband was identified by newborn hearing screening at birth. In silico predictions of protein structure and function indicate that the p.Pro32Ser mutation may result in conformational changes in ??actin. The present study expands the understanding of the phenotypic effects of heterozygous missense mutations in the ACTG1 gene. In specific, the present results emphasize that mutations in ACTG1 result in a diverse spectrum of onset ages, including congenital in addition to post?lingual onset.

A disease-causing novel missense mutation in the ST14 gene underlies autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome in a consanguineous family.

Project description:Autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis (ARIH; MIM 602400) syndrome is characterized by diffused congenital ichthyosis and generalized non-scarring hypotrichosis. The underlying genetic cause of ARIH syndrome has been associated with sequence variants of the gene ST14, encoding type II transmembrane serine protease matriptase, which maps to chromosome 11q24.3. The current report aimed to investigate the clinical features and genetic cause of ARIH syndrome in a large consanguineous family of Pakistani origin. The technique of homozygosity mapping with highly polymorphic microsatellite markers was employed to establish linkage within the family. Sanger sequencing of exons and intron-exon boundaries of ST14 was performed to identify the potential pathogenic sequence variants, followed by structural analysis of the mutated protein. Linkage was established to chromosome 11q24.3, comprising the gene ST14. Sequence analysis led to the identification of a novel homozygous missense variant (c.1315G>A, p.Gly439Ser) in the ST14 gene that co-segregated with the disease phenotype in all affected members. Homology modelling and molecular docking analysis of ST14 with wild-type TMEFF1 protein was performed which revealed that glycine at position 439 is crucial for maintaining normal structural confirmation and interaction with the EGF domain of TMEFF1 protein. Taken together, the data strongly advocate this ST14 variant as the underlying genetic cause of ARIH syndrome in this first reported affected family from Pakistan. Moreover, the present study adds to the spectrum of mutations in the ST14 gene, implicating them in the pathogenesis of ARIH syndrome.

A novel mutation in the transglutaminase-1 gene in an autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis patient.

Project description:Structure-function implication on a novel homozygous Trp250/Gly mutation of transglutaminase-1 (TGM1) observed in a patient of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis is invoked from a bioinformatics analysis. Structural consequences of this mutation are hypothesized in comparison to homologous enzyme human factor XIIIA accepted as valid in similar structural analysis and are projected as guidelines for future studies at an experimental level on TGM1 thus mutated.
