Novel Factor XIII variant identified through whole-genome sequencing in a child with intracranial hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Pediatric stroke can be either hemorrhagic or ischemic, with ?5% of hemorrhagic strokes being caused by genetic coagulopathies. We report an 8 mo old presenting with a hemorrhagic stroke caused by severe Factor XIII deficiency (OMIM # 613225) in whom rapid whole-genome sequencing identified a novel variant in the F13A1 gene c.1352_1353delAT (p.His451ArgfsTer29).

Protective variant for hippocampal atrophy identified by whole exome sequencing.

Project description:We used whole-exome sequencing to identify variants other than APOE associated with the rate of hippocampal atrophy in amnestic mild cognitive impairment. An in-silico predicted missense variant in REST (rs3796529) was found exclusively in subjects with slow hippocampal volume loss and validated using unbiased whole-brain analysis and meta-analysis across 5 independent cohorts. REST is a master regulator of neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation that has not been previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease. These findings nominate REST and its functional pathways as protective and illustrate the potential of combining next-generation sequencing with neuroimaging to discover novel disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

Molecular characterization of PRKN structural variations identified through whole-genome sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundEarly-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common inherited form of parkinsonism, with the PRKN gene being the most frequently identified mutated. Exon rearrangements, identified in about 43.2% of the reported PD patients and with higher frequency in specific ethnicities, are the most prevalent PRKN mutations reported to date in PD patients.MethodsIn this study, three consanguineous families with early-onset PD were subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses that were followed by Sanger sequencing and droplet digital PCR to validate and confirm the disease segregation of the identified genomic variations and to determine their parental origin.ResultsFive different PRKN structural variations (SVs) were identified. Because the genomic sequences surrounding the break points of the identified SVs might hold important information about their genesis, these were also characterized for the presence of homology and repeated sequences.ConclusionWe concluded that all identified PRKN SVs might originate through retrotransposition events.

Whole exome sequencing identified a homozygous novel variant in CEP290 gene causes Meckel syndrome.

Project description:Meckel syndrome (MKS) is a pre- or perinatal multisystemic ciliopathic lethal disorder with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Meckel syndrome is usually manifested with meningo-occipital encephalocele, polycystic kidney dysplasia, postaxial polydactyly and hepatobiliary ductal plate malformation. Germline variants in CEP290 cause MKS4. In this study, we investigated a 35-years-old Chinese female who was 17+1 weeks pregnant. She had a history of adverse pregnancy of having foetus with multiple malformations. We performed ultrasonography and identified the foetus with occipital meningoencephalocele and enlarged cystic dysplastic kidneys. So, she decided to terminate her pregnancy and further genetic molecular analysis was performed. We identified the aborted foetus without postaxial polydactyly. Histological examination of foetal kidney showed cysts in kidney and thinning of the renal cortex with glomerular atrophy. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous variant (c.2144T>G; p.L715* ) in exon 21 of the CEP290 in the foetus. Sanger sequencing confirmed that both the parents of the foetus were carrying this variant in a heterozygous state. This variant was not identified in two elder sisters of the foetus as well as in the 100 healthy individuals. Western blot analysis showed that this variant leads to the formation of truncated CEP290 protein with the molecular weight of 84 KD compared with the wild-type CEP290 protein of 290 KD. Hence, it is a loss-of-function variant. We also found that the mutant cilium appears longer in length than the wild-type cilium. Our present study reported the first variant of CEP290 associated with MKS4 in Chinese population.

Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel variant in an Iranian patient affected by pycnodysostosis.

Project description:BackgroundWhole-exome sequencing (WES) has emerged as a successful diagnostic tool in molecular genetics laboratories worldwide. In this study, we aimed to find the potential genetic cause of skeletal disease, a heterogeneous disease, revealing the obvious short stature phenotype. In an Iranian family, we used solo-WES in a suspected patient to decipher the potential genetic cause(s).MethodsA comprehensive clinical and genotyping examination was applied to suspect the disease of the patient. The solo clinical WES was exploited, and the derived data were filtered according to the standard pipelines. In order to validate the WES finding, the region harboring the candidate variant in the CTSK gene was amplified from genomic DNA and sequenced directly by Sanger sequencing.ResultsSequence analysis revealed a rare novel nonsense variant, p.(Trp320*); c.905G>A, in the CTSK gene (NM_000396.3). In silico analysis shed light on the contribution of the variant to the pathogenicity of pycnodysostosis. This variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and further clinical examinations of the patient confirmed the disease.ConclusionThe present study shows a rare variant of the CTSK gene, which inherited as autosomal recessive, in an Iranian male patient with pycnodysostosis. Taken together, the novel nonsense CTSK variant meets the criteria of being likely pathogenic according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics-the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG-AMP) variant interpretation guidelines.

Germline Variants Associated with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Predisposition Identified through Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Project description:The current understanding of genetic susceptibility factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still incomplete. To identify novel germline variants associated with NPC predisposition, we analysed whole-exome sequencing data from 119 NPC patients from Singapore with a family history of NPC and/or with early-onset NPC, together with 1337 Singaporean participants without NPC. Variants were prioritised and filtered by selecting variants with minor allele frequencies of <1% in both local control (n = 1337) and gnomAD non-cancer (EAS) (n = 9626) cohorts and a high pathogenicity prediction (CADD score > 20). Using single-variant testing, we identified 17 rare pathogenic variants in 17 genes that were associated with NPC. Consistent evidence of enrichment in NPC patients was observed for five of these variants (in JAK2, PRDM16, LRP1B, NIN, and NKX2-1) from an independent case-control comparison of 156 NPC patients and 9770 unaffected individuals. In a family with five siblings, a FANCE variant (p. P445S) was detected in two affected members, but not in three unaffected members. Gene-based burden testing recapitulated variants in NKX2-1 and FANCE as being associated with NPC risk. Using pathway analysis, endocytosis and immune-modulating pathways were found to be enriched for mutation burden. This study has identified NPC-predisposing variants and genes which could shed new insights into the genetic predisposition of NPC.

Intracranial hemorrhage.

Project description:Intracranial hemorrhage is a life-threatening condition, the outcome of which can be improved by intensive care. Intracranial hemorrhage may be spontaneous, precipitated by an underlying vascular malformation, induced by trauma, or related to therapeutic anticoagulation. The goals of critical care are to assess the proximate cause, minimize the risks of hemorrhage expansion through blood pressure control and correction of coagulopathy, and obliterate vascular lesions with a high risk of acute rebleeding. Simple bedside scales and interpretation of computed tomography scans assess the severity of neurological injury. Myocardial stunning and pulmonary edema related to neurological injury should be anticipated, and can usually be managed. Fever (often not from infection) is common and can be effectively treated, although therapeutic cooling has not been shown to improve outcomes after intracranial hemorrhage. Most functional and cognitive recovery takes place weeks to months after discharge; expected levels of functional independence (no disability, disability but independence with a device, dependence) may guide conversations with patient representatives. Goals of care impact mortality, with do-not-resuscitate status increasing the predicted mortality for any level of severity of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Future directions include refining the use of bedside neuro-monitoring (electroencephalogram, invasive monitors), novel approaches to reduce intracranial hemorrhage expansion, minimizing vasospasm, and refining the assessment of quality of life to guide rehabilitation and therapy.

Exome sequencing in 38 patients with intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Project description:ObjectiveGenetic risk factors for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are poorly understood. We aimed to verify recently reported risk genes and to identify novel sequence variants involved in the etiology of UIA/aSAH.MethodsWe performed exome sequencing (ES) in 35 unrelated individuals and 3 family members, each with a history of UIA and/or aSAH. We searched for sequence variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≤ 5% in the reported risk genes ADAMTS15, ANGPTL6, ARHGEF17, LOXL2, PCNT, RNF213, THSD1 and TMEM132B. To identify novel putative risk genes we looked for unknown (MAF = 0) variants shared by the three relatives.ResultsWe identified 20 variants with MAF ≤ 5% in 18 individuals: 9 variants in PCNT (9 patients), 4 in RNF213 (3 patients), 3 in THSD1 (6 patients), 2 in ANGPTL6 (3 patients), 1 in ADAMTS15 (1 patient) and 1 in TMEM132B (1 patient). In the affected family, prioritization of shared sequence variants yielded five novel putative risk genes. Based on predicted pathogenicity of identified variants, population genetics data and a high functional relevance for vascular biology, EDIL3 was selected as top candidate and screened in additional 37 individuals with UIA and/or aSAH: a further very rare EDIL3 sequence variant in two unrelated sporadic patients was identified.ConclusionsOur data support a role of sequence variants in PCNT, RNF213 and THSD1 as susceptibility factors for cerebrovascular disease. The documented function in vascular wall integrity, the crucial localization of affected amino acids and gene/variant association tests suggest EDIL3 as a further valid candidate disease gene for UIA/aSAH.
