Project description:TRIP4 is one of the subunits of the transcriptional coregulator ASC-1, a ribonucleoprotein complex that participates in transcriptional coactivation and RNA processing events. Recessive variants in the TRIP4 gene have been associated with spinal muscular atrophy with bone fractures as well as a severe form of congenital muscular dystrophy. Here we present the diagnostic journey of a patient with cerebellar hypoplasia and spinal muscular atrophy (PCH1) and congenital bone fractures. Initial exome sequencing analysis revealed no candidate variants. Reanalysis of the exome data by inclusion in the Solve-RD project resulted in the identification of a homozygous stop-gain variant in the TRIP4 gene, previously reported as disease-causing. This highlights the importance of analysis reiteration and improved and updated bioinformatic pipelines. Proteomic profile of the patient’s fibroblasts showed altered RNA-processing and impaired exosome activity supporting the pathogenicity of the detected variant. In addition, we identified a novel genetic form of PCH1, further strengthening the link of this characteristic phenotype with altered RNA metabolism.

Project description:The strongest risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include the 4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE), the R47H variant of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), and female sex. Here, we combine APOE4 and TREM2R47H (R47H) in female P301S tauopathy mice to identify the pathways activated when AD risk is the strongest, thereby highlighting disease-causing mechanisms. We find that the R47H variant induces neurodegeneration in female APOE4 mice without impacting hippocampal tau load. The combination of APOE4 and R47H amplified tauopathy-induced cell-autonomous microglial cGAS-STING signaling and type-I interferon response, and interferon signaling converged across glial cell types in the hippocampus. APOE4-R47H microglia displayed cGAS- and BAX-dependent upregulation of senescence, showing association between neurotoxic signatures and implicating mitochondrial permeabilization in pathogenesis. By uncovering pathways enhanced by the strongest AD risk factors, our study points to cGAS-STING signaling and associated microglial senescence as potential drivers of AD risk.

Project description:In a patient with permanent neonatal syndromic diabetes clinically similar to cases with ONECUT1 biallelic mutations, we identified a disease-causing deletion located upstream of ONECUT1. Through genetic, genomic and functional studies we identified a crucial regulatory region acting as an enhancer of ONECUT1 specifically during pancreatic development. This enhancer region contains a low-frequency variant showing strong association with type 2 diabetes and other glycemic traits, thus extending the contribution of this region to common forms of diabetes. Clinical relevance is provided by experimentally tailored therapy options for patients carrying ONECUT1 coding or regulatory mutations.

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) affects both humans and dogs and is associated with shortened life-span and sudden death. Dobermanns have previously been described with genetic variants assoociated with disease, and in this study we wanted to study gene specific expression differences between healthy and DCM-affected individuals. Included in the cohort were nine dogs, four healthy and five clinical and pre-clinical cases. The cases were sampled shortly after death (within 30 minutes) and samples snap-frozen from different compartments of the heart. Prior to euthanization the dogs were evaluted by ultrasound, and histological evaluation of the tissues were also performed after tissue sampling for proper phenotyping. In this study tissues from the septal wall was used for mRNA-sequencing. The samples were prepared according to Illuminas protocol for library preparation (TruSeq® Stranded mRNA Library) and sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 550. Following basecalling at Illumina BaseSpace FASTQ-files were proceessed through a pipeline of Trimmomatic, SortMeRNA, STAR, edgeR and DESeq2, with quality controlls in between at relevant steps with FastQC. No significantly differentially expressed genes could be identified with either edgeR or DESeq2, which may be due to too few samples in each group. The sequencing data was also used for visual inspection of potential splice variants associated with genetic variants identified in an other cohourt of DCM-affected Dobermanns evaluated with GWAS. A novel splice-variant identified in RNF207 causing a frame-shame shift excluding three codons, was confirmed in the present mRNA-seq data.

Project description:The hemizygous R47H variant of TREM2, a microglia-specific gene in the brain, increases risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To understand its pathogenicity, we performed single-nuclei RNA-sequencing of cortical tissue from AD patients with R47H or the common variant (CV)-TREM2 with matched sex, pathology and APOE status. we found that the R47H mutation is associated with cell type- and sex-specific transcriptional changes in human AD, with microglia exhibiting the most robust alterations. R47H-associated microglial subpopulations were characterized by hyperactivation of AKT, one of the signaling pathways downstream of TREM2, and enhanced inflammatory signatures. In tauopathy mouse models that carry one allele of human TREM2 (hTREM2) with either the R47H mutation or CV, the mutation induced spatial memory deficits and exacerbated tau-mediated deficits in female mice. Similar to the human data, the disease-enhancing effects of R47H microglia were associated with robust increases in proinflammatory cytokines, Syk-Akt-signaling, and elevation of a subset of disease-associated microglial signatures identified using single-cell sequencing from isolated microglia. Pharmacological Akt inhibition largely reversed the enhanced inflammatory signatures in R47H microglia treated with tau fibrils. By unraveling the disease-enhancing properties of the R47H mutation in mouse and human, our findings shed light on an immune-linked AD subtype and provide new directions for modulating brain immune responses to treat AD.

Project description:Gain-of-function mutations in STING cause STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) characterized by early-onset systemic inflammation, skin vasculopathy, and interstitial lung disease. Here, we report and characterize a novel STING variant (F269S) identified in a SAVI patient. single-cell transcriptomics of patient bone marrow revealed spontaneous activation of interferon (IFN) and inflammatory pathways across cell types and a striking prevalence of circulating naïve T cells was observed. Inducible STING F269S expression conferred enhanced signaling through ligand-independent translocation of the protein to the Golgi, protecting cells from viral infections but preventing their efficient immune priming. Additionally, endothelial cell activation was promoted and further exacerbated by cytokine secretion by SAVI immune cells, resulting in inflammation and endothelial damage. Our findings identify STING F269S mutation as a novel pathogenic variant causing SAVI, highlight the importance of the crosstalk between endothelial and immune cells in the context of lung disease and contribute to a better understanding of how aberrant STING activation can cause pathology.
