Association of De Novo RNF213 Variants With Childhood Onset Moyamoya Disease and Diffuse Occlusive Vasculopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test the hypothesis that de novo genetic variants are responsible for moyamoya disease (MMD) in children with unaffected relatives, we performed exome sequencing of 28 affected children and their unaffected parents.

Methods

Exome sequencing was performed on 28 trios of affected patients with MMD and unaffected parents.

Results

We identified 3 novel rare de novo RNF213 variants, 1 in the RING domain and 2 in a highly conserved region distal to the RING domain (4,114-4,120). These de novo cases of MMD present at a young age with aggressive MMD and uniquely have additional occlusive vascular lesions, including renal artery stenosis. Two previously reported cases had de novo variants in the same limited region and presented young with aggressive MMD, and 1 case had narrowing of the inferior abdominal aorta.

Conclusions

These results indicate a novel syndrome associated with RNF213 rare variants defined by de novo mutations disrupting highly conserved amino acids in the RING domain and a discrete region distal to the RING domain delimited by amino acids 4,114 to 4,120 leading to onset of severe MMD before 3 years of age and occlusion of other arteries, including the abdominal aorta, renal, iliac, and femoral arteries.

RNF213 variants in a child with PHACE syndrome and moyamoya vasculopathy.

Project description:Segmental infantile hemangiomas (IH) can be associated with congenital anomalies in a regional distribution. PHACE refers to large cervicofacial segmental IH in association with congenital anomalies of the aortic arch and medium-sized arteries of the head and neck, as well as structural anomalies of the posterior fossa and eye. A subset of PHACE patients have arterial anomalies that progress to moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV). MMV is defined as stenosis of the supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid arteries and/or their major branches, with subsequent development of a compensatory collateral vessel network. We describe a patient with MMV and segmental IH on the back and lower body who meets diagnostic criteria for PHACE based on a posterior segment eye anomaly and cerebral arterial anomalies. Whole exome sequencing demonstrated two inherited heterozygous variants in RNF213. Variants in RNF213 are associated with increased susceptibility to MMV. Our findings suggest that RNF213 variants may play a role in the development of MMV in patients with hemangioma syndromes associated with congenital cerebral arterial anomalies.

Atypical presentation of moyamoya disease in an infant with a de novo RNF213 variant.

Project description:Variants in RNF213 lead to susceptibility to moyamoya disease, a rare cerebral angiopathy characterized by bilateral stenosis of the internal carotid arteries and development of a compensatory collateral network. We describe a 3-month-old female with seizures, arterial narrowing involving the internal carotid and intracranial arteries and inferior abdominal aorta, and persistently elevated transaminases. Whole exome sequencing demonstrated a novel de novo variant in RNF213, securing a molecular diagnosis and directing appropriate intervention. This report underscores the role of whole exome sequencing in cases for which a complex and atypical presentation may mask diagnosis. Furthermore, the early and severe presentation in our patient, in conjunction with a novel de novo RNF213 variant, suggests that specific variants in RNF213 may lead to a Mendelian form of disease rather than simply conferring susceptibility to multifactorial disease.

De novo variants in sporadic cases of childhood onset schizophrenia.

Project description:Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS), defined by the onset of illness before age 13 years, is a rare severe neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown etiology. Recently, sequencing studies have identified rare, potentially causative de novo variants in sporadic cases of adult-onset schizophrenia and autism. In this study, we performed exome sequencing of 17 COS trios in order to test whether de novo variants could contribute to this disease. We identified 20 de novo variants in 17 COS probands, which is consistent with the de novo mutation rate reported in the adult form of the disease. Interestingly, the missense de novo variants in COS have a high likelihood for pathogenicity and were enriched for genes that are less tolerant to variants. Among the genes found disrupted in our study, SEZ6, RYR2, GPR153, GTF2IRD1, TTBK1 and ITGA6 have been previously linked to neuronal function or to psychiatric disorders, and thus may be considered as COS candidate genes.

A new syndrome of moyamoya disease, kidney dysplasia, aminotransferase elevation, and skin disease associated with de novo variants in RNF213.

Project description:Ring-finger protein 213 (RNF213) encodes a protein of unknown function believed to play a role in cellular metabolism and angiogenesis. Gene variants are associated with susceptibility to moyamoya disease. Here, we describe two children with moyamoya disease who also demonstrated kidney disease, elevated aminotransferases, and recurrent skin lesions found by exome sequencing to have de novo missense variants in RNF213. These cases highlight the ability of RNF213 to cause Mendelian moyamoya disease in addition to acting as a genetic susceptibility locus. The cases also suggest a new, multi-organ RNF213-spectrum disease characterized by liver, skin, and kidney pathology in addition to severe moyamoya disease caused by heterozygous, de novo C-terminal RNF213 missense variants.

RNF213 Rare Variants in Slovakian and Czech Moyamoya Disease Patients.

Project description:RNF213/Mysterin has been identified as a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease, a cerebrovascular disease characterized by occlusive lesions in the circle of Willis. The p.R4810K (rs112735431) variant is a founder polymorphism that is strongly associated with moyamoya disease in East Asia. Many non-p.R4810K rare variants of RNF213 have been identified in white moyamoya disease patients, although the ethnic mutations have not been investigated in this population. In the present study, we screened for RNF213 variants in 19 Slovakian and Czech moyamoya disease patients. A total of 69 RNF213 coding exons were directly sequenced in 18 probands and one relative who suffered from moyamoya disease in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. We previously reported one proband harboring RNF213 p.D4013N. Results from the present study identified four rare variants other than p.D4013N (p.R4019C, p.E4042K, p.V4146A, and p.W4677L) in four of the patients. P.V4146A was determined to be a novel de novo mutation, and p.R4019C and p.E4042K were identified as double mutations inherited on the same allele. P.W4677L, found in two moyamoya disease patients and an unaffected subject in the same pedigree, was a rare single nucleotide polymorphism. Functional analysis showed that RNF213 p.D4013N, p.R4019C and p.V4146A-transfected human umbilical vein endothelial cells displayed significant lowered migration, and RNF213 p.V4146A significantly reduced tube formation, indicating that these are disease-causing mutations. Results from the present study identified RNF213 rare variants in 22.2% (4/18 probands) of Slovakian and Czech moyamoya disease patients, confirming that RNF213 may also be a major causative gene in a relative large population of white patients.

Novel and recurrent RNF213 variants in Japanese pediatric patients with moyamoya disease.

Project description:Moyamoya disease is a progressive steno-occlusive condition of the main intracranial arteries that results in the compensatory formation of fragile moyamoya vessels at the base of the brain. RNF213 is the most significant susceptibility gene and is often found with the p.Arg4810Lys founder variant in East Asian patients. We identified three putatively deleterious variants of this gene from three pediatric patients: two were novel, and one was a recurrent missense variant previously reported in other pediatric patients.

Systematic Validation of RNF213 Coding Variants in Japanese Patients With Moyamoya Disease.

Project description:A founder variant of RNF213, p.R4810K (c.14429G>A, rs112735431), was recently identified as a major genetic risk factor for moyamoya disease (MMD) in Japan. Although the association of p.R4810K was reported to be highly significant and reproducible, the disease susceptibility of other RNF213 variants remains largely unknown. In the present study, we systematically evaluated the coding variants detected in Japanese patients and controls for associations with MMD.To detect variants of RNF213, all coding exons were sequenced in 27 Japanese MMD patients without p.R4810K. We also validated all previously reported variants in our case-control samples and tested for associations in combination with previous Japanese study cohorts, including the 1000 Genomes Project data set, as population-based controls. Forty-six missense variants other than p.R4810K were identified among 370 combined patients and 279 combined controls in Japan. Sixteen of 46 variants were polymorphisms with minor allele frequency >1%, and, after conditioning on the p.R4810K genotype, were not associated with MMD. We conducted a variable threshold test using Combined Annotation-Dependent Depletion on the remaining 30 rare variants (minor allele frequency <1%), and the results showed that the frequency of potentially functional variants was significantly higher in patients than in controls (permutation, minimum P=0.045).Not only p.4810K but also other functional missense variants of RNF213 conferred susceptibility to MMD. Our analysis also revealed that ?20% of Japanese MMD patients did not harbor susceptibility variants of RNF213, indicating the presence of other susceptibility genes for MMD.

A novel de novo mutation in ATP1A3 and childhood-onset schizophrenia.

Project description:We describe a child with onset of command auditory hallucinations and behavioral regression at 6 yr of age in the context of longer standing selective mutism, aggression, and mild motor delays. His genetic evaluation included chromosomal microarray analysis and whole-exome sequencing. Sequencing revealed a previously unreported heterozygous de novo mutation c.385G>A in ATP1A3, predicted to result in a p.V129M amino acid change. This gene codes for a neuron-specific isoform of the catalytic α-subunit of the ATP-dependent transmembrane sodium-potassium pump. Heterozygous mutations in this gene have been reported as causing both sporadic and inherited forms of alternating hemiplegia of childhood and rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism. We discuss the literature on phenotypes associated with known variants in ATP1A3, examine past functional studies of the role of ATP1A3 in neuronal function, and describe a novel clinical presentation associated with mutation of this gene.

Frequency and significance of rare RNF213 variants in patients with adult moyamoya disease.

Project description:Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis of the internal carotid arteries with compensatory development of collateral vessels. Although a founder variant of RNF213, p.Arg4810Lys (c.14429G>A, rs112735431), is a major genetic risk factor for MMD in East Asians, the frequency and disease susceptibility of other variants in this gene remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the association of RNF213 variants with MMD in Korean patients and population controls.For all RNF213 variants listed in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) as disease-causing or likely disease-causing mutations for MMD, genotyping was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Genetic data from 264 adult patients with MMD were analyzed and compared with two control populations comprised of 622 and 1,100 Korean individuals, respectively.Among the 30 RNF213 variants that were listed in the HGMD, p.Arg4810Lys was identified in 67.4% (178/264) of patients with MMD and showed a significantly higher allele frequency than in the controls, giving an odds ratio of 63.29 (95% confidence interval, 33.11-120.98) for the 622 controls and 48.55 (95% confidence interval, 31.00-76.03) for the 1100 controls. One additional variant, p.Ala5021Val (c.15062C>T, rs138130613), was identified in 0.8% (2/264) of patients; however, the allele frequencies were not significantly different from those in the controls.These results suggest that, in our cohort of Korean patients, the p.Arg4810Lys is the only variant that is strongly associated with MMD among the 30 RNF213 variants listed in the HGMD.

De Novo and Inherited SETD1A Variants in Early-onset Epilepsy.

Project description:Early-onset epilepsy is a neurological abnormality in childhood, and it is especially common in the first 2 years after birth. Seizures in early life mostly result from structural or metabolic disorders in the brain, and the genetic causes of idiopathic seizures have been extensively investigated. In this study, we identified four missense mutations in the SETD1A gene (SET domain-containing 1A, histone lysine methyltransferase): three de novo mutations in three individuals and one inherited mutation in a four-generation family. Whole-exome sequencing indicated that all four of these mutations were responsible for the seizures. Mutations of SETD1A have been implicated in schizophrenia and developmental disorders, so we examined the role of the four mutations (R913C, Q269R, G1369R, and R1392H) in neural development. We found that their expression in mouse primary cortical neurons affected excitatory synapse development. Moreover, expression of the R913C mutation also affected the migration of cortical neurons in the mouse brain. We further identified two common genes (Neurl4 and Usp39) affected by mutations of SETD1A. These results suggested that the mutations of SETD1A play a fundamental role in abnormal synaptic function and the development of neurons, so they may be pathogenic factors for neurodevelopmental disorders.
