Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy in Sri Lankan and Indian families

ABSTRACT: Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy 1 (FAME1), first recognised in Japanese families, was recently shown to be caused by a TTTCA repeat insertion in intron 4 of SAMD12 on chromosome 8. We performed whole genome sequencing on two families with FAME, one of Sri Lankan origin and the other of Indian origin, and identified a TTTCA repeat insertion in SAMD12 in both families. Haplotype analysis revealed that both families shared the same core ancestral haplotype reported in Japanese and Chinese families with FAME1. Mutation dating, based on the length of shared haplotypes, estimated the age of the ancestral haplotype to be approximately 670 generations, or 17,000 years old. Our data extend the geographic range of this repeat expansion to Southern Asia and potentially implicate an even broader regional distribution given the age of the variant. This finding suggests patients of Asian ancestry with suspected FAME should be screened for the SAMD12 TTTCA expansion.

The MLH1 c.-27C>A and c.85G>T variants are borne on a European ancestral haplotype which underlies an autosomal dominant form of MLH1 epimutation.

Project description:Lynch syndrome, caused by germline heterozygous mutations of the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, or deletions affecting the EPCAM gene upstream of MSH2, is characterized by a predisposition to early-onset colorectal and additional extracolonic cancers. An alternative but rare cause of Lynch syndrome is a constitutional epimutation of MLH1, which is characterized by promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of a single allele in normal tissues. Worldwide, five families with autosomal dominant transmission of a constitutional MLH1 epimutation linked to an MLH1 haplotype with two single nucleotide variants (c.-27C>A and c.85G>T) have been identified. Array-based genotyping using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 data in four of these families revealed a shared haplotype extending across a ≤2.6 Mb region of chromosome 3p22 encompassing MLH1 and additional flanking genes, indicating common ancestry. Genomic DNA from 5 carriers of the c.-27C>A and c.85G>T variants was hybridized on Affymetrix SNP6.0 array according to manufacturer's procedures

Definitive SNP/CNV haplotype map of Asians determined using a collection of complete hydatidiform moles (Illumina)

Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) are abundant, possibly variable among populations, and can confer various phenotypic variations such as risk to complex disease. We determined a genome-wide high resolution SNP/CNV haplotype structure of Asians, by analyzing a collection of complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) of Japanese, using high-density DNA arrays. CHMs are tissues carrying duplicated haploid genomes that originated from single sperm, and have advantages as materials over conventional diploid cells in detecting CNVs by hybridization, because greater S/N ratios are expected, and overlapping CNV segments are independently detected without being bothered by possible heterozygous situations. Overall occupancy of CNV segments per haploid found here was at a level similar to previous reports. Approximately a half of our polymorphic CNV regions have not been described in the previous report for Asians, but the frequencies of most of these new CNV regions were low. The limited number of examined samples is likely to be the reason that they have escaped detection in the previous report. Many common CNV regions are resolvable to clusters of CNV segmets (that is, CNV events) on the basis of mutual overlap of the segments. The similarity of haplotype backgrounds surrounding different CNV events within the same CNV regions suggests that ancestral recurrences of CNV events were predominantly haplotype preferential. Illumina Human1M-Duov3 BeadChip analyses were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from 5 complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) tissues collected throughout Japan.

Three-dimensional chromatin interactions remain stable upon CAG/CTG repeat expansion

Project description:Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie thirteen neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington’s disease (HD). Upon expansion, CAG/CTG repeat loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics. This observation raises the hypothesis that repeat expansion provokes changes to higher-order chromatin conformation and thereby affects both gene expression in cis and the genetic instability of the repeat tract. Here we tested this hypothesis directly by performing 4C sequencing at the DMPK and HTT loci from DM1 and HD patient-derived cells. Surprisingly, chromatin contacts remain unchanged upon repeat expansion at both loci. This was true for expanded alleles with different DNA methylation levels and CTCF binding. Repeat tract sizes ranging from 15 to 1,700 repeats displayed strikingly similar chromatin interaction profiles. Moreover, the ectopic insertion of an expanded CAG repeat tract did not change the three-dimensional chromatin conformation of the surrounding genomic region. Our findings argue that extensive changes in heterochromatic properties are not enough to alter chromatin conformation at expanded CAG/CTG repeat loci. We conclude that 3D chromatin conformation is unlikely to drive repeat expansions or changes in gene expression in expanded CAG/CTG repeat disorders. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
