BMPR1B mutation causes Pierre Robin sequence.

ABSTRACT: We investigated a large family with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS).This study aims to determine the genetic cause of PRS.The reciprocal translocation t(4;6)(q22;p21) was identified to be segregated with PRS in a three-generation family. Whole-genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing successfully detected breakpoints in the intragenic regions of BMRP1B and GRM4. We hypothesized that PRS in this family was caused by (i) haploinsufficiency for BMPR1B or (ii) a gain of function mechanism mediated by the BMPR1B-GRM4 fusion gene. In an unrelated family, we identified another BMPR1B-splicing mutation that co-segregated with PRS.We detected two BMPR1B mutations in two unrelated PRS families, suggesting that BMPR1B disruption is probably a cause of human PRS.GTG banding, comparative genomic hybridization, whole-genome sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the gene causing PRS.

Genetic Mutations Associated with Pierre Robin Syndrome/Sequence: A Systematic Review.

Project description:Pierre Robin syndrome/sequence (PRS) is associated with a triad of symptoms that includes micrognathia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis that may lead to respiratory obstruction. The syndrome occurs in 2 forms: nonsyndromic PRS (nsPRS), and PRS associated with other syndromes (sPRS). Studies have shown varying genetic mutations associated with both nsPRS and sPRS. The present systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive collection of published literature reporting genetic mutations in PRS. Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus were searched using the keywords: "Pierre Robin syndrome/sequence AND gene mutation." The search resulted in 208 articles, of which 93 were excluded as they were duplicates/irrelevant. The full-text assessment led to the further exclusion of 76 articles. From the remaining 39 articles included in the review, details of 324 cases were extracted. 56% of the cases were sPRS, and 22% of the cases were associated with other malformations and the remaining were nsPRS. Genetic mutations were noted in 30.9% of the 300 cases. Based on the review, SOX9 was found to be the most common gene associated with both nsPRS and sPRS. The gene mutation in sPRS was specific to the associated syndrome. Due to the lack of original studies, a quantitative analysis was not possible. Thus, future studies must focus on conducting large-scale cohort studies. Along with generating data on genetic mutation, future studies must also conduct pedigree analysis to assess potential familial inheritance, which in turn could provide valuable insights into the etiopathogenesis of PRS.

Disruption of SATB2 or its long-range cis-regulation by SOX9 causes a syndromic form of Pierre Robin sequence.

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in the gene encoding the DNA-binding protein, SATB2, result in micrognathia and cleft palate in both humans and mice. In three unrelated individuals, we show that translocation breakpoints (BPs) up to 896 kb 3' of SATB2 polyadenylation site cause a phenotype which is indistinguishable from that caused by SATB2 LOF mutations. This syndrome comprises long nose, small mouth, micrognathia, cleft palate, arachnodactyly and intellectual disability. These BPs map to a gene desert between PLCL1 and SATB2. We identified three putative cis-regulatory elements (CRE1-3) using a comparative genomic approach each of which would be placed in trans relative to SATB2 by all three BPs. CRE1-3 each bind p300 and mono-methylated H3K4 consistent with enhancer function. In silico analysis suggested that CRE1-3 contain one or more conserved SOX9-binding sites, and this binding was confirmed using chromatin immunoprecipitation on cells derived from mouse embryonic pharyngeal arch. Interphase bacterial artificial chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization measurements in embryonic craniofacial tissues showed that the orthologous region in mice exhibits Satb2 expression-dependent chromatin decondensation consistent with Satb2 being a target gene of CRE1-3. To assess their in vivo function, we made multiple stable reporter transgenic lines for each enhancer in zebrafish. CRE2 was shown to drive SATB2-like expression in the embryonic craniofacial region. This expression could be eliminated by mutating the SOX9-binding site of CRE2. These observations suggest that SATB2 and SOX9 may be acting together via complex cis-regulation to coordinate the growth of the developing jaw.

16p13.3 duplication associated with non-syndromic pierre robin sequence with incomplete penetrance.

Project description:BackgroundPierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a condition present at birth. It is characterized by micrognathia, cleft palate, upper airway obstruction, and feeding problems. Multiple etiologies including genetic defects have been documented in patients with syndromic, non-syndromic, and isolated PRS.Case presentationWe report a 4-year-old boy with a complex small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) who had non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). The complex marker chromosome, der(14)t(14;16)(q11.2;p13.13), was initially identified by routine chromosomal analysis and subsequently characterized by array-comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) and confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Clinical manifestations included micrognathia, U-type cleft palate, bilateral congenital ptosis, upslanted and small eyes, bilateral inguinal hernias, umbilical hernia, bilateral clubfoot, and short fingers and toes. To our best knowledge, this was the first case diagnosed with non-syndromic PRS associated with a complex sSMC, which involved a 3.8 Mb gain in the 14q11.2 region and an 11.8 Mb gain in the 16p13.13-pter region.ConclusionsWe suggest that the duplicated chromosome segment 16p13.3 possibly may be responsible for the phenotypes of our case and also may be a candidate locus of non-syndromic PRS. The duplicated CREBBP gene within chromosome 16p13.3 is associated with incomplete penetrance regarding the mandible development anomalies. Further studies of similar cases are needed to support our findings.

Pierre Robin sequence may be caused by dysregulation of SOX9 and KCNJ2.

Project description:BackgroundThe Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), consisting of cleft palate, micrognathia and glossoptosis, can be seen as part of the phenotype in other Mendelian syndromes--for instance, campomelic dysplasia (CD) which is caused by SOX9 mutations--but the aetiology of non-syndromic PRS has not yet been unravelled.ObjectiveTo gain more insight into the aetiology of PRS by studying patients with PRS using genetic and cytogenetic methods.Methods10 unrelated patients with PRS were investigated by chromosome analyses and bacterial artificial chromosome arrays. A balanced translocation was found in one patient, and the breakpoints were mapped with fluorescence in situ hybridisation and Southern blot analysis. All patients were screened for SOX9 and KCNJ2 mutations, and in five of the patients expression analysis of SOX9 and KCNJ2 was carried out by quantitative real-time PCR.ResultsAn abnormal balanced karyotype 46,XX, t(2;17)(q23.3;q24.3) was identified in one patient with PRS and the 17q breakpoint was mapped to 1.13 Mb upstream of the transcription factor SOX9 and 800 kb downstream of the gene KCNJ2. Furthermore, a significantly reduced SOX9 and KCNJ2 mRNA expression was observed in patients with PRS.ConclusionOur findings suggest that non-syndromic PRS may be caused by both SOX9 and KCNJ2 dysregulation.

Clinical and Molecular Characterisation of Children with Pierre Robin Sequence and Additional Anomalies.

Project description:Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is usually classified into syndromic and nonsyndromic groups, with a further subclassification of the nonsyndromic group into isolated PRS and PRS with additional anomalies (PRS-Plus). The aim of this research is to provide an accurate phenotypic characterisation of nonsyndromic PRS, specifically the PRS-Plus subgroup. We sought to examine the frequency of sequence variants in previously defined conserved noncoding elements (CNEs) in the putative enhancer region upstream of SOX9, the regulation of which has been associated with PRS phenotypes. We identified 141 children with nonsyndromic PRS at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne from 1985 to 2012 using 2 databases. Clinical and demographic data were extracted by file review and children categorized as 'isolated PRS' or 'PRS-Plus'. A subset of children with PRS-Plus was selected for detailed phenotyping and DNA sequencing of the upstream SOX9 CNEs. We found 83 children with isolated PRS and 58 with PRS-Plus. The most common PRS-Plus malformations involved the musculoskeletal and ocular systems. The most common coexisting craniofacial malformation was choanal stenosis/atresia. We identified 10 children with a family history of PRS or cleft palate. We found a single nucleotide substitution in a putative GATA1-binding site in one patient, but it was inherited from his phenotypically unaffected mother. PRS-Plus represents a broad phenotypic spectrum with uncertain pathogenesis. Dysmorphology assessment by a clinical geneticist is recommended. SOX9 CNE sequence variants are rare in our cohort and are unlikely to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PRS-Plus.

A hypomorphic BMPR1B mutation causes du Pan acromesomelic dysplasia.

Project description:BackgroundGrebe dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson dysplasia, and du Pan dysplasia constitute a spectrum of skeletal dysplasias inherited as an autosomal recessive trait characterized by short stature, severe acromesomelic shortening of the limbs, and normal axial skeleton. The majority of patients with these disorders have biallelic loss-of-function mutations of GDF5. In single instances, Grebe dysplasia and a Grebe dysplasia-like phenotype with genital anomalies have been shown to be caused by mutations in BMPR1B, encoding a GDF5 receptor.MethodsWe clinically and radiologically characterised an acromesomelic chondrodysplasia in an adult woman born to consanguineous parents. We sequenced GDF5 and BMPR1B on DNA of the proposita. We performed 3D structural analysis and luciferase reporter assays to functionally investigate the identified BMPR1B mutation.ResultsWe extend the genotype-phenotype correlation in the acromesomelic chondrodysplasias by showing that the milder du Pan dysplasia can be caused by a hypomorphic BMPR1B mutation. We show that the homozygous c.91C>T, p.(Arg31Cys) mutation causing du Pan dysplasia leads to a significant loss of BMPR1B function, but to a lesser extent than the previously reported p.Cys53Arg mutation that results in the more severe Grebe dysplasia.ConclusionsThe phenotypic severity gradient of the clinically and radiologically related acromesomelic chondrodysplasia spectrum of skeletal disorders may be due to the extent of functional impairment of the ligand-receptor pair GDF5-BMPR1B.

A comprehensive scoring system in correlation with perioperative airway management for neonatal Pierre Robin Sequence.

Project description:To evaluate a comprehensive scoring system which combines clinical manifestations of Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) including severity of breathing difficulties, body weight and preoperative Cormack-Lehane grade, for its correlation with perioperative PRS airway management decision.Forty PRS children were retrospectively recruited after surgery. Specialists examined all subjects and scored for clinical manifestations (1´ - 4´), weight gain (1´- 4´), dyspnea scores (1´- 4´), and Cormack-Lehane grade (1´- 4´). The correlation of the integrated scores and the necessity of endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask application were analyzed. In addition, the score correlation with postoperative dyspnea and/or low pulse oxygen saturation (SPO2) levels after extubation was determined.In our study every individual patient had a score from 0´ to 16´, while the higher in the numbers represented higher risk of breathing difficulty. All patients with comprehensive scores <10 points underwent endotracheal intubation successfully. Patients scoring 10-12 points had an intubation success rate of 47%, whereas all patients scored >13 points required a laryngeal mask assisted airway management and were considered to have difficult airways. Dyspnea after extubation and postoperative low SPO2 occurred among patients who scored over 10 points.In PRS patients, preoperative weight gaining status and severity of dyspnea in combination with Cormack-Lehane classification provide a scoring system that could help to optimize airway management decisions such as endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway placement and has the potential to predict postoperative dyspnea or low SPO2 levels.

Conditional deletion of Bmp2 in cranial neural crest cells recapitulates Pierre Robin sequence in mice.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling plays a crucial role in the development of craniofacial organs. Mutations in numerous members of the BMP signaling pathway lead to several severe human syndromes, including Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) caused by heterozygous loss of BMP2. In this study, we generate mice carrying Bmp2-specific deletion in cranial neural crest cells using floxed Bmp2 and Wnt1-Cre alleles to mimic PRS in humans. Mutant mice exhibit severe PRS with a significantly reduced size of craniofacial bones, cleft palate, malformed tongue and micrognathia. Palate clefting is caused by the undescended tongue that prevents palatal shelf elevation. However, the tongue in Wnt1-Cre;Bmp2f/f mice does not exhibit altered rates of cell proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting contribution of extrinsic defects to the failure of tongue descent. Further studies revealed obvious reduction in cell proliferation and differentiation of osteogenic progenitors in the mandible of the mutants, attributing to the micrognathia phenotype. Our study illustrates the pathogenesis of PRS caused by Bmp2 mutation, highlights the crucial role of BMP2 in the development of craniofacial bones and emphasizes precise coordination in the morphogenesis of palate, tongue and mandible during embryonic development.
