GATA2 deficiency phenotype associated with tandem duplication of GATA2 and overexpression of GATA2-AS1.

ABSTRACT: A 3-year-old girl of nonconsanguineous healthy parents presented with cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathy due to Mycobacterium fortuitum infection. Routine blood analysis showed normal hemoglobin, neutrophils, and platelets but profound mononuclear cell deficiency (monocytes < 0.1 × 109/L; B cells 78/μL; NK cells 48/μL). A 548 902-bp region containing GATA2 was sequenced by targeted capture and deep sequencing. This revealed a de novo 187-kb duplication of the entire GATA2 locus, containing a maternally inherited copy number variation deletion of 25 kb (GRCh37: esv2725896 and nsv513733). Many GATA2-associated phenotypes have been attributed to amino acid substitution, frameshift/deletion, loss of intronic enhancer function, or aberrant splicing. Gene deletion has been described, but other structural variation has not been reported in the germline configuration. In this case, duplication of the GATA2 locus was paradoxically associated with skewed diminished expression of GATA2 messenger RNA and loss of GATA2 protein. Chimeric RNA fusion transcripts were not detected. A possible mechanism involves increased transcription of the anti-sense long noncoding RNA GATA2-AS1 (RP11-472.220), which was increased several fold. This case further highlights that evaluation of the allele count is essential in any case of suspected GATA2-related syndrome.

GATA2 deficiency phenotype associated with tandem duplication of the GATA2 locus linked to a common structural variant

Project description:Typical features of GATA2 deficiency were observed in a individual with wild-type GATA2 sequence. The patient had a de novo tandem duplication of 187Kb spanning GATA2 and RPN1 containing a deletion of 25Kb 5’ of RPN1, inherited from the mother. The deletion is a copy number variant present in about 4% of Europeans (GRCh37: esv2725896 and nsv513733; GRCh38: esv3597711) and removes an alternative 5’ start site of RPN1 at 128,400Kb, associated with CTCF and H3K27ac binding peaks. A second copy of GATA2 is translocated to this region by the tandem duplication. RNA-Seq was underatken in order to identify any gene fussion events resulting from the mutation and to inverstigate differences in gene expression between the patient and controls.

Somatic mutations in children with GATA2-associated myelodysplastic syndrome who lack other features of GATA2 deficiency.

Project description:Approximately 10% of children with primary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have germ line GATA2 mutations, leading to the proposal that all children with primary MDS and certain cytogenetic findings, including monosomy 7, be tested for germ line GATA2 mutations regardless of family history or other clinical features associated with GATA2 deficiency. In adults with familial GATA2-MDS, those with somatic mutations in ASXL1 experience rapid disease progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and poor prognosis after stem cell transplantation; however, the prevalence of somatic mutations in primary pediatric GATA2-MDS is unclear. Here, we studied a cohort of 8 pediatric patients with MDS and lacking additional GATA2-associated clinical features or significant family history and identified heterozygous germ line GATA2 mutations in 5 patients, including 1 with a normal karyotype. For those with GATA2-MDS, we screened for somatic mutations in genes with prognostic relevance in AML/MDS, using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel. Although no somatic mutations in ASXL1 were observed, somatic mutations were found in RUNX1, SETBP1, IKZF1, and CRLF2. One subject with deleterious mutations in RUNX1, SETBP1, and IKZF1 rapidly progressed to AML with disease that was refractory to treatment. Our findings confirm the importance of GATA2 testing in primary pediatric MDS, even in the absence of other clinical features of GATA2 deficiency. Further, similar to what has been observed in adults with GATA2-MDS, somatic mutations with potential prognostic effect occur in children with MDS associated with mutations in GATA2.

Gata2 deficiency delays leukemogenesis while contributing to aggressive leukemia phenotype in Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice.

Project description:Inversion of chromosome 16 (inv(16)) generates a fusion gene CBFB-MYH11, which is a driver mutation for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Gene expression profiling suggests that Gata2, a hematopoietic transcription factor, is a top upregulated gene in preleukemic Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice and is expressed in human inv(16) AML. On the other hand, we have also identified recurrent monoallelic deletions of GATA2 in relapsed human CBF-AML patients. To clarify the role of Gata2 in leukemogenesis by Cbfb-MYH11, we generated conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice with Gata2 heterozygous knockout. Gata2 heterozygous knockout reduced abnormal myeloid progenitors, which are capable of inducing leukemia in the Cbfb-MYH11 mice. Consequently, Cbfb-MYH11 mice with Gata2 heterozygous knockout developed leukemia with longer latencies than those with intact Gata2. Interestingly, leukemic cells with Gata2 heterozygous knockout gained higher number of mutations and showed more aggressive phenotype in both primary and transplanted mice. Moreover, leukemic cells with Gata2 heterozygous knockout showed higher repopulating capacity in competitive transplantation experiments. In summary, reduction of Gata2 activity affects mutational dynamics of leukemia with delayed leukemia onset in Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice, but paradoxically results in a more aggressive leukemia phenotype, which may be correlated with leukemia relapse or poor prognosis in human patients.

Spectrum of myeloid neoplasms and immune deficiency associated with germline GATA2 mutations.

Project description:Guanine-adenine-thymine-adenine 2 (GATA2) mutated disorders include the recently described MonoMAC syndrome (Monocytopenia and Mycobacterium avium complex infections), DCML (dendritic cell, monocyte, and lymphocyte deficiency), familial MDS/AML (myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia) (myeloid neoplasms), congenital neutropenia, congenital lymphedema (Emberger's syndrome), sensorineural deafness, viral warts, and a spectrum of aggressive infections seen across all age groups. While considerable efforts have been made to identify the mutations that characterize this disorder, pathogenesis remains a work in progress with less than 100 patients described in current literature. Varying clinical presentations offer diagnostic challenges. Allogeneic stem cell transplant remains the treatment of choice. Morbidity, mortality, and social costs due to the familial nature of the disease are considerable. We describe our experience with the disorder in three affected families and a comprehensive review of current literature.

GATA2 deficiency and related myeloid neoplasms.

Project description:The GATA2 gene codes for a hematopoietic transcription factor that through its two zinc fingers (ZF) can occupy GATA-DNA motifs in a countless number of genes. It is crucial for the proliferation and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells. During the past 5 years, germline heterozygous mutations in GATA2 were reported in several hundred patients with various phenotypes ranging from mild cytopenia to severe immunodeficiency involving B cells, natural killer cells, CD4+ cells, monocytes and dendritic cells (MonoMAC/DCML), and myeloid neoplasia. Some patients additionally show syndromic features such as congenital deafness and lymphedema (originally defining the Emberger syndrome) or pulmonary disease and vascular problems. The common clinical denominator in all reported cohorts is the propensity for myeloid neoplasia (myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS], myeloproliferative neoplasms [MPN], chronic myelomonocytic leukemia [CMML], acute myeloid leukemia [AML]) with an overall prevalence of approximately 75% and a median age of onset of roughly 20 years. Three major mutational types are encountered in GATA2-deficient patients: truncating mutations prior to ZF2, missense mutations within ZF2, and noncoding variants in the +9.5kb regulatory region of GATA2. Recurrent somatic lesions comprise monosomy 7 and trisomy 8 karyotypes and mutations in SETBP1 and ASXL1 genes. The high risk for progression to advanced myeloid neoplasia and life-threatening infectious complications guide decision-making towards timely stem cell transplantation.

GATA2 deficiency syndrome: A decade of discovery.

Project description:GATA2 deficiency syndrome (G2DS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease predisposing to a range of symptoms, of which myeloid malignancy and immunodeficiency including recurrent infections are most common. In the last decade since it was first reported, there have been over 480 individuals identified carrying a pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline GATA2 variant with symptoms of G2DS, with 240 of these confirmed to be familial and 24 de novo. For those that develop myeloid malignancy (75% of all carriers with G2DS disease symptoms), the median age of onset is 17 years (range 0-78 years) and myelodysplastic syndrome is the first diagnosis in 75% of these cases with acute myeloid leukemia in a further 9%. All variant types appear to predispose to myeloid malignancy and immunodeficiency. Apart from lymphedema in which haploinsufficiency seems necessary, the mutational requirements of the other less common G2DS phenotypes is still unclear. These predominantly loss-of-function variants impact GATA2 expression and function in numerous ways including perturbations to DNA binding, protein structure, protein:protein interactions, and gene transcription, splicing, and expression. In this review, we provide the first expert-curated ACMG/AMP classification with codes of published variants compatible for use in clinical or diagnostic settings.

Tandem Duplication of Exons 1-7 Neither Impairs ATP7A Expression Nor Causes a Menkes Disease Phenotype.

Project description:ATP7A duplications are estimated to represent the molecular cause of Menkes disease in 4-10% of affected patients. We identified a novel duplication of ATP7A exons 1-7 discovered in the context of a challenging prenatal diagnostic situation. All other reported ATP7A duplications (n?=?24) involved intragenic tandem duplications, predicted to disrupt the normal translational reading frame and produce nonfunctional ATP7A proteins. In contrast, the exon 1-7 duplication occurred at the 5' end of the ATP7A gene rather than within the gene and did not correspond to any known copy number variants. We hypothesized that, if the exon 1-7 duplication was in tandem, functional ATP7A molecules could be generated depending on promoter selection, mRNA splicing, and the proximal and distal duplication breakpoints and that Menkes disease would be averted. Here, we present detailed molecular characterization of this novel duplication, as well as 2-year postnatal clinical and biochemical correlations. The case highlights the ongoing need for cautious interpretation of prenatal genetic test results.
