A Rare Variant of ANK3 Is Associated With Intracranial Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a cerebrovascular disorder in which abnormal dilation of a blood vessel results from weakening of the blood vessel wall. The aneurysm may rupture, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage with severe outcomes. This study was conducted to identify the genetic factors involved in the etiology of IA. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in three IA-aggregate families to identify candidate variants. Further association studies of candidate variants were performed among sporadic cases and controls. Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the functions of candidate genes and variants. Twenty variants were identified after whole-exome sequencing, among which eight were selected for replicative association studies. ANK3 c.4403G>A (p.R1468H) was significantly associated with IA (odds ratio 4.77; 95% confidence interval 1.94-11.67; p-value = 0.00019). Amino acid R1468 in ANK3 was predicted to be located in the spectrin-binding domain of ankyrin-G and may regulate the migration of vascular endothelial cells and affect cell-cell junctions. Therefore, the variation p.R1468H may cause weakening of the artery walls, thereby accelerating the formation of IA. Thus, ANK3 is a candidate gene highly related to IA.

Rare Coding Variants in ANGPTL6 Are Associated with Familial Forms of Intracranial Aneurysm.

Project description:Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are acquired cerebrovascular abnormalities characterized by localized dilation and wall thinning in intracranial arteries, possibly leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe outcome in case of rupture. Here, we identified one rare nonsense variant (c.1378A>T) in the last exon of ANGPTL6 (Angiopoietin-Like 6)-which encodes a circulating pro-angiogenic factor mainly secreted from the liver-shared by the four tested affected members of a large pedigree with multiple IA-affected case subjects. We showed a 50% reduction of ANGPTL6 serum concentration in individuals heterozygous for the c.1378A>T allele (p.Lys460Ter) compared to relatives homozygous for the normal allele, probably due to the non-secretion of the truncated protein produced by the c.1378A>T transcripts. Sequencing ANGPTL6 in a series of 94 additional index case subjects with familial IA identified three other rare coding variants in five case subjects. Overall, we detected a significant enrichment (p = 0.023) in rare coding variants within this gene among the 95 index case subjects with familial IA, compared to a reference population of 404 individuals with French ancestry. Among the 6 recruited families, 12 out of 13 (92%) individuals carrying IA also carry such variants in ANGPTL6, versus 15 out of 41 (37%) unaffected ones. We observed a higher rate of individuals with a history of high blood pressure among affected versus healthy individuals carrying ANGPTL6 variants, suggesting that ANGPTL6 could trigger cerebrovascular lesions when combined with other risk factors such as hypertension. Altogether, our results indicate that rare coding variants in ANGPTL6 are causally related to familial forms of IA.

Clinical data on rare case of spontaneous disappearance of intracranial Aneurysm.

Project description:The data contained within this paper are related to another paper entitled "Rare Spontaneous disappearance of intracranial aneurysm" (Yokoya et al., 2020). Spontaneous disappearance of an unruptured non-giant aneurysm of the anterior circulation is very rare. We identified a saccular cerebral aneurysm, which disappeared spontaneously and was followed up for 12 years. The present article describes the relevant clinical data of the patient, including her medical history and imaging findings.

Common variant near the endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA) gene is associated with intracranial aneurysm risk.

Project description:The pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation and rupture is complex, with significant contribution from genetic factors. We previously reported genome-wide association studies based on European discovery and Japanese replication cohorts of 5,891 cases and 14,181 controls that identified five disease-related loci. These studies were based on testing replication of genomic regions that contained SNPs with posterior probability of association (PPA) greater than 0.5 in the discovery cohort. To identify additional IA risk loci, we pursued 14 loci with PPAs in the discovery cohort between 0.1 and 0.5. Twenty-five SNPs from these loci were genotyped using two independent Japanese cohorts, and the results from discovery and replication cohorts were combined by meta-analysis. The results demonstrated significant association of IA with rs6841581 on chromosome 4q31.23, immediately 5' of the endothelin receptor type A with P = 2.2 × 10(-8) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, PPA = 0.986]. We also observed substantially increased evidence of association for two other regions on chromosomes 12q22 (OR = 1.16, P = 1.1 × 10(-7), PPA = 0.934) and 20p12.1 (OR = 1.20, P = 6.9 × 10(-7), PPA = 0.728). Although endothelin signaling has been hypothesized to play a role in various cardiovascular disorders for over two decades, our results are unique in providing genetic evidence for a significant association with IA and suggest that manipulation of the endothelin pathway may have important implications for the prevention and treatment of IA.

Transcription profiling of peripheral blood from patients with intracranial aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage

Project description:As the EU IP @neurIST Project aims at integrating biomedical informatics technologies in the assessment of rupture risks and treatments of cerebral aneurysms in humans. Genetic involvement in the disease is known, mRNA biomarkers will be searched as possible risk factors in easy to assess PBMCs (peripheral blood cells). The aim of this pilot study is specifically to check the clinical samples going from the patientï¾s bed side to the genomic analysis platform. Briefly, we hybridized biotin labelled cRNA from 2 controls (C1, C2), 1 patient bearing an intracranial aneurysm (I) and 1 patients bearing an intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage (S). For each sample, one technical replicate was performed. Thus a total of 8 arrays was used.

Proteomic analysis of intracranial aneurysm

Project description:Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a pathological dilation of the cerebral artery which has a potential to rupture leading to sub arachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). One third of the patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) develop symptomatic narrowing of the blood vessels called cerebral vasospasm. The outcomes in the above clinical scenarios are variable and devastating. The study was designed to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of intracranial aneurysm formation, its rupture and subsequent development of vasospasm at the proteomic level. The study was done in two phases – discovery phase and validation phase. We performed iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of brain vessel tissue and serum samples in three subgroups of patients with IA and compared them with those of control group (subjects with no cerebrovascular disorder) during the discovery phase. In validation phase, dysregulated proteins of biological significance i.e. ORM1 as a biomarker for unruptured aneurysm and MMP9 as a biomarker for cerebral vasospasm were validated in larger cohort of patients.
