Genetic Analysis of Hirschsprung Disease

ABSTRACT:

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a birth defect resulting from the absence of nerve (ganglion) cells in the gastrointestinal tract. Hirschsprung disease has a population incidence of 1/5,000 live births and most often occurs as an isolated condition. However, approximately 30% of HSCR cases are associated with other birth defects such as Down syndrome, deafness, hypopigmentation, and Congenital Central Hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS). Hirschsprung disease is a genetic condition with autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and multigenic patterns of inheritance described. The goal of the research study is to identify genes harboring causative HSCR mutations and to better understand the complex inheritance of HSCR in families using whole genome mapping and sequencing studies with functional follow-up of candidate genes and variants. We intend to ascertain the frequency with which mutations in any human gene lead to familial and isolated forms of HSCR. Clinical information is collected to allow investigation of possible genotype - phenotype correlations.

The subject population consists of individuals diagnosed with HSCR and their unaffected relatives. Individuals/families are ascertained through support groups, web-based listings of research studies and genetic testing services, an educational study website, and referrals from genetic counselors and physicians. Blood, or tissue, samples are requested from affected individuals and their unaffected relatives.

Autoimmune family study

Project description:Patients with autoimmune disorders exhibit highly reproducible gene expression profiles in their peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These signatures may result from chronic inflammation, other disease manifestations, or may reflect family resemblance. To test the latter hypothesis, we determined gene expression profiles in unaffected first-degree relatives of individuals with autoimmune disease. Gene expression profiles in unaffected first-degree relatives resembled the profiles found in individuals with autoimmune diseases. A high percentage of differentially expressed genes in unaffected first-degree relatives were previously identified as autoimmune signature genes. Examination of the linear regression relationship of gene transcript levels between parent-offspring pairs revealed that autoimmune signature genes display high levels of family resemblance. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that these variations in gene transcript levels are associated with family resemblance rather than clinical manifestations of disease.

Automal Random Allelic Expression (aRMAE) analysis in clonally expanded T cells from healthy donors

Project description:Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are genetic disorders that underlie susceptibility to infection, autoimmunity, autoinflammation, allergy, and/or malignancy. Incomplete penetrance is common among IEIs despite their monogenic basis. Herein we investigate the contribution of autosomal random monoallelic expression (aRMAE), a somatic commitment to expression of one allele, to phenotypic variability observed in families with IEIs. Using a clonal primary T cell system to assess aRMAE status of genes in healthy individuals, we find 4.30% of IEI genes and 5.20% of all genes undergo aRMAE. Perturbing H3K27me3 and DNA methylation alters allele expression commitment, supporting two proposed mechanisms for regulation of aRMAE. We tested PBMCs from individuals sharing genetic lesions but with discordant clinical phenotypes in seven families with different IEIs for aRMAE. Among relatives heterozygous for a mutation in PLCG2, an antibody deficiency phenotype corresponds with selective mutant allele expression in B cells. In contrast, among relatives heterozygous for a mutation in JAK1, the unaffected carrier T cells predominantly expressed the wild-type JAK1 allele, while the affected carrier T cells exhibited biallelic expression. Selective expression of a single allele was documented in phenotypically discordant family members carrying an AD Loss-of-function (LoF) mutation in STAT1, CARD11, as well as gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in STAT1. This study highlights the importance of not only considering genotype but also the “transcriptotype” in the analyses of the penetrance and expressivity of monogenic disorders.

Heterozygous variants in MGP lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress causing spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia

Project description:Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent post-translationally modified protein, highly expressed in vascular and cartilaginous tissues. It is a potent inhibitor of extracellular matrix mineralization. Biallelic loss of function variants in the MGP gene cause Keutel syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by widespread calcification of various cartilaginous tissues and skeletal and vascular anomalies. In this study, we report four individuals from two unrelated families with two heterozygous variants in MGP, both altering the Cysteine 19 residue to phenylalanine or tyrosine. These individuals presented with a spondyloepiphyseal skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature with a short trunk, diffuse platyspondyly, midface retrusion, progressive epiphyseal anomalies and brachytelephalangism. We investigated the cellular and molecular effects of one of the heterozygous deleterious variants (C19F) using both cell and genetically modified mouse models. Heterozygous ‘knock-in’ mice expressing C19F MGP recapitulated most of the skeletal anomalies observed in the affected individuals. We demonstrated that the main underlying mechanism leading to the observed skeletal dysplasia is endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis of the growth plate chondrocytes. Our findings support that heterozygous variants in MGP altering Cys19 residue cause autosomal dominant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, a condition distinct from Keutel syndrome both clinically and molecularly.

Global gene expression of histologically normal primary skin cells from BCNS subjects reveals “single-hit” effects that are influenced by rapamycin

Project description:The study of dominantly heritable cancers has provided significant insights about tumor development. Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), or Gorlin syndrome (OMIM #109400), is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that is characterized by developmental abnormalities and postnatal occurrence of various neoplasms, principally basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). We performed an exploratory gene expression profiling of primary cultures, including keratinocytes and fibroblasts derived from clinically unaffected skin biopsies of BCNS gene-carriers (PTCH1 +/-) and normal individuals.

Identification of differential DNA methylation associated with multiple sclerosis: a family-based study

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is known to be caused by a genetic predisposition triggered by environmental factors. Despite the knowledge of genetic factors and environmental agents involved, it is largely unclear how they interact. Epigenetics, particularly DNA methylation, represents a model for environmental factors to influence the genome. In this paper, we studied 26 affected and 26 unaffected relatives from 8 MS multiplex families (≥ 3 affected relatives) as part of a multicentric Italian cohort study using Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq) run on an Illumina® HiSeq 2500 (2x100 bp). Technical validation in 6/8 of the original families and biological replication in 2 additional families (FDR < 0.1 and a concordant fold change, FC) were performed in suggestive differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between affected and unaffected relatives using SeqCap Epi Choice Enrichment (Roche®). Evidence of association from MeDIP-Seq across 8 families was combined with aggregation statistics, separately for hypo- and hyper-methylated regions with concordant FC in ≥ 6/8 families, yielding 162 DMRs at FDR ≤ 0.1. Technical validation and biological replication led to 2 hypomethylated regions, which point to NTM and BAI3 genes, and 2 hypermethylated regions in PIK3R1 and CAPN13 (mean size: 3.1 kb). Multiplex families represent a privileged setting for the study of regions of differential methylation as they reduce the impact of potential confounders like shared genetics and environmental factors. We identified 4 novel regions which contain genes of potential interest that need to be tested in larger cohorts of patients.

Cystic leukoencephalopathy without megalencephaly

Project description:The cystic leukoencephalopathy without megalencephaly has been defined as distinct autosomal-recessive syndrome of quasi-static encephalopathy with normo- or microcephaly, impaired psychomotor development and characteristic pattern on brain MRI. We identified mutations in the gene encoding the RNASET2 glycoprotein in seven affected individuals as the cause of disease. The results suggest that RNASET2 plays an important role in central nervous system myelination and development. 2-Color dye swap design independent for two different families including technical and biologial replicates for affected family members (disease) and not affected family members (controls).
