Non-Syndromic Intellectual Disability and Its Pathways: A Long Noncoding RNA Perspective.

ABSTRACT: Non-syndromic intellectual disability (NS-ID or idiopathic) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that represents a global health issue. Although many efforts have been made to characterize it and distinguish it from syndromic intellectual disability (S-ID), the highly heterogeneous aspect of this disorder makes it difficult to understand its etiology. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) comprise a large group of transcripts that can act through various mechanisms and be involved in important neurodevelopmental processes. In this sense, comprehending the roles they play in this intricate context is a valuable way of getting new insights about how NS-ID can arise and develop. In this review, we attempt to bring together knowledge available in the literature about lncRNAs involved with molecular and cellular pathways already described in intellectual disability and neural function, to better understand their relevance in NS-ID and the regulatory complexity of this disorder.

A non-coding mutation implicates HCFC1 in non-syndromic intellectual disability

Project description:Human disease mutation discovery has so far been biased towards protein coding regions. Having excluded all annotated coding regions, we performed targeted massively parallel re-sequencing of the non-repetitive genomic linkage interval of the MRX3 family at Xq28. We identified a regulatory mutation in the YY1 transcription factor binding site, which leads to overexpression of the chromatin-associated transcriptional regulator, HCFC1. When tested on embryonic murine neural stem cells (NSCs) and embryonic hippocampal neurons, HCFC1 overexpression led to a significant increase of the production of astrocytes and considerable reduction in neurite growth. Two other non-synonymous, potentially deleterious changes have been identified by X-exome sequencing in individuals with intellectual disability, implicating HCFC1 in normal brain function.

The genetic basis of non-syndromic intellectual disability: a review.

Project description:Intellectual disability (ID), also referred to as mental retardation (MR), is frequently the result of genetic mutation. Where ID is present together with additional clinical symptoms or physical anomalies, there is often sufficient information available for the diagnosing physician to identify a known syndrome, which may then educe the identification of the causative defect. However, where co-morbid features are absent, narrowing down a specific gene can only be done by 'brute force' using the latest molecular genetic techniques. Here we attempt to provide a systematic review of genetic causes of cases of ID where no other symptoms or co-morbid features are present, or non-syndromic ID. We attempt to summarize commonalities between the genes and the molecular pathways of their encoded proteins. Since ID is a common feature of autism, and conversely autistic features are frequently present in individuals with ID, we also look at possible overlaps in genetic etiology with non-syndromic ID.

WDR13: A Novel Gene Implicated in Non-Syndromic Intellectual Disability.

Project description:Investigating novel genetic variants involved in intellectual disability (ID) development is essential. X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) accounts for over 10% of all cases of ID in males. XLID genes are involved in many cellular pathways and processes. Some of them are not specific to the development and functioning of the neural system. The implementation of exome sequencing simplifies the search for novel variants, especially those less expected. Here, we describe a nonsense variant of the XLID gene, WDR13. The mutation c.757C>T (p.Arg253Ter) was uncovered by X-chromosome exome sequencing in males with a familial form of intellectual disability. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis showed that variant c.757C>T caused a significant decrease in WDR13 expression in the patient's fibroblast. Moreover, it dysregulated other genes linked to intellectual disability, such as FMR1, SYN1, CAMK2A, and THOC2. The obtained results indicate the pathogenic nature of the detected variant and suggest that the WDR13 gene interacts with other genes essential for the functioning of the nervous system, especially the synaptic plasticity process.

POGZ truncating alleles cause syndromic intellectual disability.

Project description:Large-scale cohort-based whole exome sequencing of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has identified numerous novel candidate disease genes; however, detailed phenotypic information is often lacking in such studies. De novo mutations in pogo transposable element with zinc finger domain (POGZ) have been identified in six independent and diverse cohorts of individuals with NDDs ranging from autism spectrum disorder to developmental delay.Whole exome sequencing was performed on five unrelated individuals. Sanger sequencing was used to validate variants and segregate mutations with the phenotype in available family members.We identified heterozygous truncating mutations in POGZ in five unrelated individuals, which were confirmed to be de novo or not present in available parental samples. Careful review of the phenotypes revealed shared features that included developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, behavioral abnormalities, and similar facial characteristics. Variable features included short stature, microcephaly, strabismus and hearing loss.While POGZ has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in large cohort studies, our data suggest that loss of function variants in POGZ lead to an identifiable syndrome of NDD with specific phenotypic traits. This study exemplifies the era of human reverse clinical genomics ushered in by large disease-directed cohort studies; first defining a new syndrome molecularly and, only subsequently, phenotypically.

NONO mutations cause syndromic intellectual disability and inhibitory synaptic defects

Project description:Identifying causes of sporadic intellectual disability remains a considerable medical challenge. Here, we demonstrate that null mutations in the NONO gene, a member of the Drosophila Behavior Human Splicing (DBHS) protein family, are a novel cause of X-linked syndromic intellectual disability. Comparing humans to Nono-deficient mice revealed related behavioral and craniofacial anomalies, as well as global transcriptional dysregulation. Nono-deficient mice also showed deregulation of a large number of synaptic transcripts, causing a disorganization of inhibitory synapses, with impaired postsynaptic scaffolding of gephyrin. Alteration of gephyrin clustering could be rescued by over-expression of Gabra2 in NONO-compromised neurons. These findings link NONO to intellectual disability and first highlight the key role of DBHS proteins in functional organization of GABAergic synapses.

Phosphodiesterase activity is regulated by CC2D1A that is implicated in non-syndromic intellectual disability.

Project description:BackgroundCyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) is a key regulator of many cellular processes, including in the neuronal system, and its activity is tuned by Phosphodiesterase (PDE) activation. Further, the CC2D1A protein, consisting of N-Terminal containing four DM14 domains and C-terminal containing C2 domain, was shown to regulate the cAMP-PKA pathway. A human deletion mutation lacking the fourth DM14 and the adjacent C2 domain results in Non Syndromic Intellectual Disability (NSID) also referred to as Non Syndromic Mental Retardation (NSMR).FindingsHere we demonstrate that in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) CC2D1A co-localizes with PDE4D in the cytosol before cAMP stimulation and on the periphery after stimulation, and that the movement to the periphery requires the full-length CC2D1A. In CC2D1A mouse mutant cells, the absence of three of the four DM14 domains abolishes migration of the complex to the periphery and causes constitutive phosphorylation of PDE4D Serine 126 (S126) via the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) resulting in PDE4D hyperactivity. Suppressing PDE4D activity with Rolipram in turn restores the down-stream phosphorylation of the "cAMP response element-binding protein" (CREB) that is defective in mouse mutant cells.ConclusionOur findings suggest that CC2D1A is a novel regulator of PDE4D. CC2D1A interacts directly with PDE4D regulating its activity and thereby fine-tuning cAMP-dependent downstream signaling. Based on our in vitro evidence we propose a model which links CC2D1A structure and function to cAMP homeostasis thereby affecting CREB phosphorylation. We speculate that CC2D1A and/or PDE4D may be promising targets for therapeutic interventions in many disorders with impaired PDE4D function such as NSID.

Targeting Long Noncoding RNA in Glioma: A Pathway Perspective.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate extensively in biological processes of various cancers. The majority of these transcripts are uniquely expressed in differentiated tissues or specific cancer types. lncRNAs are aberrantly expressed in gliomas and exert diverse functions. In this article, we provided an overview of how lncRNAs regulate cellular processes in glioma, enumerated the lncRNAs that may act as glioma biomarkers, and showed their potential clinical implications.
