Project description:The cause of mental retardation in one-third to one-half of all affected individuals is unknown. Microscopically-detectable chromosomal abnormalities are the most frequent recognized cause, but gain or loss of chromosomal segments that are too small to be seen by conventional cytogenetic analysis has been found to be another important cause. Array-based methods offer a practical means of performing a high-resolution survey of the entire genome for submicroscopic copy number variants. We studied 100 children with idiopathic mental retardation and their parents using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay and found de novo duplications as small as 1.1 Mb in three cases, de novo deletions as small as 178 kb in eight cases, and unsuspected mosaic trisomy 9 in another case. This technology can detect at least twice as many potentially pathogenic de novo copy number variants as conventional cytogenetic analysis in people with mental retardation. Experiment Overall Design: Using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay we studied 100 trios that each included one child with idiopathic mental retardation (MR) and both of his/her unaffected biological parents. We also tested 10 unaffected siblings of the MR children from 10 of the above families. In addition, we analyzed 7 trios (child and both unaffected biological parents) as positive controls with previously identified chromosomal aberrations. Experiment Overall Design: Within each sample ID the four digit number refers to a family. Following this four digit family number, 'c' indicates child with MR, 'm' means unaffected mother, 'f' means unaffected father and 's' means unaffected sibling.

Project description:Preterm birth is the major cause of newborn and infant mortality affecting nearly one in every ten live births. This study was designed to develop an epigenetic biomarker for susceptibility of preterm birth using buccal cells from the mother, father, and child (triads). MeDIP-seq was used to identify differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) using a comparison of control term birth versus preterm birth triads. Epigenetic DMR associations with preterm birth were identified for both the mother and father that were distinct and suggest potential epigenetic contributions from both parents. The mother (165 DMRs) and female child (136 DMRs) at p<1e-04 had the highest number of DMRs and were highly similar suggesting potential epigenetic inheritance of the epimutations. The male child had negligible DMR associations. The DMR associated genes for each group involve previously identified preterm birth associated genes.

Project description:Kallmann Syndrome (KS) is a rare human genetic disorder characterized by the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with the reduction or absence of olfactory sense. The mutations on the multiple genes including Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) were considered to contribute to the abnormal migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in embryonic stage. Here, we submit RNA-seq of the peripheral blood and the cell free miRNA-seq in the serum of one family, in which the KS patient has the same mutation of PROK2 (c.223-4C>A) with his mother, and the genetic phenotype of his father is normal. The sexual development and function of his parents are normal.

Project description:<p>Our goal is to find genes responsible for non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Blood samples were collected from the JS6 family affected with hearing loss. The family is of Caribbean Hispanic ethnicity. Family JS6 consisted of two deaf siblings, JS6.001 (Male) and JS6.002 (Female) and healthy parents, JS6.100 (mother) and JS6.200 (father). The siblings had no other medical findings. Audiometry tests and Rinne and Weber tuning fork tests identified sensorineural hearing loss in the two siblings. We performed whole exome sequencing of the four individuals and identified a recessive mutation, p.(Arg186Trp), in the CIB2 gene in the two affected siblings. Both parents were unaffected carriers. </p>

Project description:Clinical laboratories are adopting array comparative genomic hybridization (AGH) as a standard clinical test. A number of whole genome AGH systems are available, but little is known about the comparative performance in a clinical context. We prospectively studied 30 children with idiopathic MR and both unaffected parents of each child using Affymetrix 500K GeneChip SNP arrays, Agilent Human Genome 244K oligonucleotide arrays and NimbleGen 385K Whole-Genome oligonucleotide arrays. We determined whether CNVs called on these platforms were detected by Illumina Hap550 beadchips or SMRT 32K BAC whole genome tiling arrays and tested 15 of the 30 trios on Affymetrix 6.0 SNP array. The Affymetrix 500K, Agilent and NimbleGen platforms identified 3061 autosomal and 117 X chromosome CNVs in 30 trios. 147 of these CNVs were de novo, but only 33 (22%) of the de novo CNVs were found on more than one platform. Performing genotype-phenotype correlations, we identified 7 pathogenic and 4 possibly pathogenic CNVs for MR. All 11 of these CNVs were detected by both the Agilent and NimbleGen arrays, 9 by the Affymetrix 500K and Illumina beadchips, and 5 by the SMRT BAC array. Two of the 4 pathogenic or possibly pathogenic CNVs present in the trios tested with the Affymetrix 6.0 array were identified. Our findings demonstrate that different results are obtained with different AGH platforms and illustrate the trade-off that exists between sensitivity and specificity. The large number of apparently false positive CNV calls supports the need for validating clinically important findings with a different methodology. 15 trios were analysed consisting of child (proband) and both normal parents. We performed separate hybridizations for the mother, father, and child and then performed pair-wise comparisons of the normalized hybridization intensities for the child to the mother and of the child to the father in silico.

Project description:We identified a novel homozygous 15q13.3 microdeletion in a young boy with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe cerebral visual impairment with additional signs of congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), congenital hypotonia with areflexia, profound intellectual disability, and refractory epilepsy. The mechanisms by which the genes in the deleted region exert their effect are unclear. In this paper we probed the role of downstream effects of the deletions as a contributing mechanism to the molecular basis of the observed phenotype. We analyzed gene expression of lymphoblastoid cells derived from peripheral blood of the proband and his relatives to ascertain the relative effects of the homozygous and heterozygous deletions. The proband with 15q13.3 homozygous deletion and his parents with 15q13.3 heterozygous deletions described in our previous report 15 were evaluated using Affymetrix aCGH-244K arrays (build hg18). The aCGH data were validated by qPCR using primers specific to CHRNA7 as previously described. 15 The extended family and comparison subjects were also screened using the CHRNA7 primers. Immortalized lymphoblastoid lines were created from the proband, his mother, father, a paternal half sister, a paternal half brother, a paternal grandmother and two paternal great uncles. Three lymphoblastoid lines from age- and sex- matched normally developing comparison subjects with normal chromosomes were obtained from the Coriell cell repository [(AG14724 (8 yo), AG14948 (10 yo), AG14980 (9 yo)] were used for gene expression comparison with the proband. The samples from the father, mother and paternal grandmother with heterozygous 15q13.3 deletions were compared to samples from lymphoblastoid cells from adult male and female subjects respectively (normal copy number for 15q13.3 determined by qPCR).

Project description:We describe a case of severe neonatal anemia with kernicterus due to compound heterozygosity for null mutations in KLF1, each inherited from asymptomatic parents. One of the mutations is novel. This is the first described case of a KLF1 null human. The phenotype of severe DAT-negative non-spherocytic hemolytic anaemia (NSHA), jaundice, hepato-splenomegaly, and marked erythroblastosis is more severe than that present in CDA type IV due to dominant mutations in the second zinc-finger of KLF1. There was a very high level of HbF expression into childhood (>70%), consistent with a key role for KLF1 in human hemoglobin switching. We performed RNA-seq on circulating erythroblasts and found human KLF1 acts like mouse Klf1 to coordinate expression of many genes required to build a red cell including those encoding globins, cytoskeletal components, AHSP, heme synthesis enzymes, cell cycle regulators, and blood group antigens. We identify novel KLF1 target genes including KIF23 and KIF11 which are required for proper cytokinesis. We also identify new roles for KLF1 in autophagy, global transcriptional control and RNA splicing. We suggest loss of KLF1 should be considered in otherwise unexplained cases of severe neonatal NSHA or hydrops fetalis. mRNA sequencing on peripheral blood from a family trio (mother, father and proband) where parents were asymptomatic and proband had severe neonatal anemia.

Project description:We designed a microarray to test at exonic resolution for genomic imbalance for genes representative of all known chromosomal microdeletion/microduplication syndromes, all known causative genes for ID, all known genes encoding glutamate receptors and their known encoding proteins and all known genes encoding proteins with epigenetic regulatory function. We found 36 de novo copy number variants affecting 35 children in this study. 167 trios, each comprising an affected child and both its normal parents were analyzed by conducting two comparative hybridizations; child vs. mother and child vs. father, and only selecting a CNV if it appeared in both hybridizations, i.e., was de novo. De novo CNVs were independantly validated using quantitative PCR.
