Whole-Exome Sequencing Reveals Pathogenic SIRT1 Variant in Brain Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Arteriovenous malformations of the brain (bAVMs) are plexuses of pathological arteries and veins that lack a normal capillary system between them. Intracranial hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke) is the most frequent clinical manifestation of AVM, leading to lethal outcomes that are especially high among children and young people. Recently, high-throughput genome sequencing methods have made a notable contribution to the research progress in this subject. In particular, whole-exome sequencing (WES) methods allow the identification of novel mutations. However, the genetic mechanism causing AVM is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential genetic mechanism underlying AVM. We analyzed the WES data of blood and tissue samples of a 30-year-old Central Asian male diagnosed with AVM. We identified 54 polymorphisms in 43 genes. After in-silica overrepresentation enrichment analysis of the polymorphisms, the SIRT1 gene variant (g.67884831C>T) indicated a possible molecular mechanism of bAVM. Further studies are required to evaluate the functional impact of SIRT1 g.67884831C>T, which may warrant further replication and biological investigations related to sporadic bAVM.

Project description:RationaleCongenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and an important cause of noninfectious deaths in infants and children. It has high prevalence globally, placing an enormous burden on society and families. Studies of individuals with hereditary or sporadic CHD have provided strong evidence for its genetic basis. The aim of this study was to identify causative gene variants in a Chinese family with congenital heart disease.Patient concerns and diagnosesThree generations of a CHD family were recruited. Proband III.9 was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at age 11 months, and the echocardiogram showed arterial ductus arteriosus, with a left-to-right shunt at the level of the arteries. Precedent III.10 was a twin of Proband III.9 who was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at age 11 months, in whom the echocardiogram revealed an arterial ductus arteriosus, an unenclosed patent ductus arteriosus, and a left to right shunt at the level of the arteries (second figure). III.8 was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at age 15, but echocardiography in this study showed no abnormalities. No cardiac abnormalities were detected in any of his parents, grandparents, or maternal grandparents. We performed whole-exome sequencing on CHD sufferers and their unexpressing family members to investigate the genetic causes of CHD in this family line. Exome sequencing identified 4 mutation sites in this family line. The variant c.3245A>G (p.His1082Arg) of the AMER1 gene was consistent with concomitant X-chromosome recessive inheritance, the variant c.238G>C (p.Val80Leu) of the KCNE1 gene was consistent with autosomal accessory inheritance, and the other 2 variants did not conform to the law of the mode of inheritance of the disease.OutcomesThe first identified variant, c.3245A>G (p.His1082Arg) of the AMER1 gene, with X-chromosome recessive inheritance, and the variant c.238G>C (p.Val80Leu) of the KCNE1 gene, which has been reported as autosomal dominant, may be the causative agent of CHD in this family line. These findings broaden the genetic scope of congenital heart disease and could help in the development of targeted drugs for the treatment of congenital heart disease.
