A Novel Homozygous TTC7A Missense Mutation Results in Familial Multiple Intestinal Atresia and Combined Immunodeficiency.

ABSTRACT: Rare autosomal-recessive variants in tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) gene have been shown to cause intestinal and immune disorders of variable severity. Missense mutations in TTC7A gene, usually retaining most of the functional motifs, is associated with relative milder clinical presentations. In this study, we reported a patient who was suffering from severe multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) with combined immunodeficiency (CID) that led to the pyloric diaphragm, ileum atresia, colon stenosis, and multiple episodes of sepsis. In spite of several surgeries and supportive treatment, the patient died of severe sepsis and multiple organ failure at age of 3 months. The whole exome sequencing (WES) of peripheral blood samples identified a novel homozygous TTC7A missense mutation (c. 206T>C, p. L69P), inherited from his parents with consanguineous marriage. In silico analysis revealed that a hydrogen bond present between Gly65 and Leu69 in the wild-type TTC7A was disrupted by the Leu69Pro mutation. Moreover, this homozygous missense mutation led to a reduced TTC7A expression in lymphocytes and intestinal tissues, accompanied by impeded lymphocyte development. Further studies demonstrated that the PI4K-FAM126A-EFR3A pathway was impaired in colon tissues. Our data strongly support the linkage of severe MIA-CID with the missense mutation in TTC7A gene. More knowledge of the TTC7A protein functions will have important therapeutic implications for patients with MIA-CID.

Meconium peritonitis in multiple intestinal atresia with combined immune deficiency caused by a TTC7A mutation: A case report.

Project description:Multiple intestinal atresia with combined immune deficiency is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) gene deficiency, which is characterized by extensive intestinal defects with immune deficiency. This report describes a fetus with TTC7A deficiency who developed meconium peritonitis in utero. Evidence suggests that patients with TTC7A deficiency present with intestinal defects as early as in utero. In this case, intestinal abnormalities were considered during the prenatal examination at week 28, and chromosome and genetic tests were performed. The results indicated that the fetus had a TTC7A complex heterozygous mutation. The male infant underwent surgical treatment after birth and developed severe infection and sepsis, which confirmed the presence of multiple intestinal atresia with combined immune deficiency. Our case suggests an association between meconium peritonitis and the TTC7A gene deficiency, indicating the possibility of severe intestinal defects and immune deficiencies after birth and guiding subsequent fetal treatment choices.

TTC7A Mutations for Combined Immunodeficiency with Intestinal Atresia

Project description:Combined Immunodeficiency with Multiple Intestinal Atresias (CID-MIA) is a rare genetic disorder with the cause previously unknown. Symptoms of CID-MIA include atresias in the small and/or large intestine, as well as immunodeficiency. In this study, we sequenced the whole exome of 5 unrelated CID-MIA patients as well as their healthy family members, and identified deleterious homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the gene TTC7A in all the 5 patients, as well as in 3 additional patients with Sanger sequencing. Our findings strongly indicate TTC7A dysfunction to be the cause for CID-MIA.

Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies TTC7A Mutations for Combined Immunodeficiency with Intestinal Atresia

Whole-exome sequencing identifies tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) mutations for combined immunodeficiency with intestinal atresias.

Project description:BackgroundCombined immunodeficiency with multiple intestinal atresias (CID-MIA) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by intestinal obstructions and profound immune defects.ObjectiveWe sought to determine the underlying genetic causes of CID-MIA by analyzing the exomic sequences of 5 patients and their healthy direct relatives from 5 unrelated families.MethodsWe performed whole-exome sequencing on 5 patients with CID-MIA and 10 healthy direct family members belonging to 5 unrelated families with CID-MIA. We also performed targeted Sanger sequencing for the candidate gene tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) on 3 additional patients with CID-MIA.ResultsThrough analysis and comparison of the exomic sequence of the subjects from these 5 families, we identified biallelic damaging mutations in the TTC7A gene, for a total of 7 distinct mutations. Targeted TTC7A gene sequencing in 3 additional unrelated patients with CID-MIA revealed biallelic deleterious mutations in 2 of them, as well as an aberrant splice product in the third patient. Staining of normal thymus showed that the TTC7A protein is expressed in thymic epithelial cells, as well as in thymocytes. Moreover, severe lymphoid depletion was observed in the thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues from 2 patients with CID-MIA.ConclusionsWe identified deleterious mutations of the TTC7A gene in 8 unrelated patients with CID-MIA and demonstrated that the TTC7A protein is expressed in the thymus. Our results strongly suggest that TTC7A gene defects cause CID-MIA.

A homozygous missense mutation in the ciliary gene TTC21B causes familial FSGS.

Project description:Several genes, mainly involved in podocyte cytoskeleton regulation, have been implicated in familial forms of primary FSGS. We identified a homozygous missense mutation (p.P209L) in the TTC21B gene in seven families with FSGS. Mutations in this ciliary gene were previously reported to cause nephronophthisis, a chronic tubulointerstitial nephropathy. Notably, tubular basement membrane thickening reminiscent of that observed in nephronophthisis was present in patients with FSGS and the p.P209L mutation. We demonstrated that the TTC21B gene product IFT139, an intraflagellar transport-A component, mainly localizes at the base of the primary cilium in developing podocytes from human fetal tissue and in undifferentiated cultured podocytes. In contrast, in nonciliated adult podocytes and differentiated cultured cells, IFT139 relocalized along the extended microtubule network. We further showed that knockdown of IFT139 in podocytes leads to primary cilia defects, abnormal cell migration, and cytoskeleton alterations, which can be partially rescued by p.P209L overexpression, indicating its hypomorphic effect. Our results demonstrate the involvement of a ciliary gene in a glomerular disorder and point to a critical function of IFT139 in podocytes. Altogether, these data suggest that this homozygous TTC21B p.P209L mutation leads to a novel hereditary kidney disorder with both glomerular and tubulointerstitial damages.

Combined immunodeficiency with autoimmunity caused by a homozygous missense mutation in inhibitor of nuclear factor 𝛋B kinase alpha (IKKα).

Project description:Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase alpha (IKKα) is critical for p100/NF-κB2 phosphorylation and processing into p52 and activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway. A patient with recurrent infections, skeletal abnormalities, absent secondary lymphoid structures, reduced B cell numbers, hypogammaglobulinemia, and lymphocytic infiltration of intestine and liver was found to have a homozygous p.Y580C mutation in the helix-loop-helix domain of IKKα. The mutation preserves IKKα kinase activity but abolishes the interaction of IKKα with its activator NF-κB–inducing kinase and impairs lymphotoxin-β–driven p100/NF-κB2 processing and VCAM1 expression. Homozygous IKKαY580C/Y580C mutant mice phenocopy the patient findings; lack marginal zone B cells, germinal centers, and antigen-specific T cell response to cutaneous immunization; have impaired Il17a expression; and are susceptible to cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus infection. In addition, these mice demonstrate a severe reduction in medullary thymic epithelial cells, impaired thymocyte negative selection, a restricted TCRVβ repertoire, a selective expansion of potentially autoreactive T cell clones, a decreased frequency of regulatory T cells, and infiltration of liver, pancreas, and lung by activated T cells coinciding with organ damage. Hence, this study identifies IKKα deficiency as a previously undescribed cause of primary immunodeficiency with associated autoimmunity.
