Clinical and genetic analysis of a rare syndrome associated with neoteny

ABSTRACT: We describe a novel syndrome in six patients with extreme developmental delay and the defining characteristic of neoteny. In an effort to discover any genetic causes of this syndrome whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis of the patients and their families was performed on Complete Genomics’ nanoarray platform.

Clinical and molecular characterization of patients with 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome

Project description:The study presents three cases of patients with deletions within 16p11.2 regions. Every child had characteristic craniofacial dysmorphic features and hand or feet abnormalities. The first proband had additionally obesity, epilepsy, moderate intellectual disability, aphasia, motor delay, hyperinsulinism and café au lait spots. The second proband suffered from cardiac, pulmonary and hematological problems. The third proband had motor delay, bronchial asthma and umbilical hernia. Although each patient presented characteristic features of the syndrome, children differed in clinical pictures among themselves. The genetic diagnosis of the 16p11.2 deletion syndrome was made in children at different age, based on the multiplex ligation probe-dependent ampliﬁcation (MLPA) analysis and/or microarrays methods. This study highlights the impact of the size of deleted regions, as they may affect the clinical picture of patients with 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome. Reported cases indicates the key role of the interdisciplinary approach in 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome diagnostics, as the care of patients with this deletion is based on regular health assessment and adjustment of the nervous system development therapy

EHMT1 gene truncation in HEK293 cells recapitulates Kleefstra Syndrome disease phenotype

Project description:Haploinsufficiency of the Euchromatin histone methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1) gene leads to Kleefstra Syndrome, a rare disease characterised by moderate to severe developmental delay/intellectual disability, childhood hypotonia and distinct facial features, comprising microcephaly. This study examines the genetic variant EHMT1_Ter (p.[Tyr1148=];[Tyr1148Leufs*9]) in HEK293 cells.

Expression data from Down syndrome and non-Down syndrome pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases

Project description:Gene expression profiling (GEP) can reveal characteristic signatures associated with distinct biologic subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We performed GEP on Down syndrome (DS) and comparison non-Down syndrome (NDS) ALL cases to identify biologic differences between these groups. Ficoll-enriched, cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow samples were obtained from patients with newly diagnosed B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Using iPSC-derived neurons to uncover cellular phenotypes associated with Timothy syndrome

Project description:Monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders provide key insights into the pathogenesis of disease and help us understand how specific genes control the development of the human brain. Timothy syndrome is caused by a missense mutation in the L-type calcium channel Cav1.2 that is associated with developmental delay and autism. We generated cortical neuronal precursor cells and neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from individuals with Timothy syndrome. Cells from these individuals have defects in calcium (Ca2+) signaling and activity-dependent gene expression and show abnormalities in differentiation. Neurons from individuals with Timothy syndrome show increased expression of markers of the upper cortical layer and decreased expression of callosal projection markers. In addition, the mutation that causes Timothy syndrome leads to an increase in the production of neurons that synthesize norepinephrine and dopamine. This phenotype can be reversed by treatment with roscovitine, a cyclin-dependent kinase and atypical L-type–channel blocker. These findings provide strong evidence that Cav1.2 regulates the differentiation of cortical neurons in humans and offer new insights into the causes of autism in individuals with Timothy syndrome.

Identification of a DNA methylation signature in blood from subjects affected by Down syndrome

Project description:Down syndrome is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical signs, which include cognitive and endocrine disorders and haematological abnormalities. Although it is well established that the causative defect of Down syndrome is the trisomy of chromosome 21, the molecular bases of Down syndrome phenotype are still largely unknown. We used the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip to investigate DNA methylation patterns in whole blood from 29 subjects affected by Down syndrome (DS), using their healthy relatives as controls (mothers and unaffected siblings). This family-based model allowed us to monitor possible confounding effects on DNA methylation patterns deriving from genetic and environmental (lifestyle) factors. The identified epigenetic signature of Down syndrome includes differentially methylated regions that, although enriched on chromosome 21, interest most of the other chromosomes and can be functionally linked to the developmental and haematological defects characteristic of the disease.

Multi-omics provide evidence for an anti-inflammatory immune signature and metabolic alterations in patients with Long COVID Syndrome – an exploratory study (plasma)

Project description:Despite the increasing prevalence of patients with Long Covid Syndrome (LCS), to date the pathophysiology of the disease is still unclear, and therefore diagnosis and therapy are a complex effort without any standardization. To address these issues, we performed a broad exploratory screening study applying state-of-the-art post-genomic profiling methods to blood plasma derived from three groups: 1) healthy individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 without exposure to the full virus, 2) asymptomatic fully recovered patients at least three months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, 3) symptomatic patients at least 3 months after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, here designated as Long Covid Syndrome (LCS) patients. Multiplex cytokine profiling indicated slightly elevated cytokine levels in recovered individuals in contrast to LCS patients, who displayed lowest levels of cytokines. Label-free proteome profiling corroborated an anti-inflammatory status in LCS characterized by low acute phase protein levels and a uniform down-regulation of macrophagederived secreted proteins, a pattern also characteristic for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Along those lines, eicosanoid and docosanoid analysis revealed high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a prevalence of anti-inflammatory oxylipins in LCS patients compared to the other study groups. Targeted metabolic profiling indicated low amino acid and triglyceride levels and deregulated acylcarnithines, characteristic for CFS and indicating mitochondrial stress in LCS patients. The anti-inflammatory osmolytes taurine and hypaphorine were significantly up-regulated in LCS patients. In summary, here we present evidence for a specific anti-inflammatory and highly characteristic metabolic signature in LCS which could serve for future diagnostic purposes and help to establish rational therapeutic interventions in these patients.
