Project description:GEMIN5 is a critical component of snRNP assembly complex. Patients carrying novel autosomal recessive variants in the GEMIN5 gene showed symptoms of developmental delay, central hypotonia, and cerebellar ataxia which are distinct than classical spinal muscular atrophy. We performed RNA-seq analysis in iPSC-derived differentiated neurons with biallelic GEMIN5-H913R mutation to identify global alterations in various genes and pathways mediated by GEMIN5 mutations in patients.

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:<p>3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase Deficiency (MCCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of leucine catabolism, which has a highly variable clinical phenotype, ranging from acute metabolic acidosis to non-specific symptoms such as developmental delay, failure to thrive, hemiparesis, muscular hypotonia, and multiple sclerosis. Implementation of newborn screening for MCCD has resulted in broadening the range of phenotypic expression to include asymptomatic adults. The purpose of this study was to identify factors underlying the varying phenotypes of MCCD.</p> <p>We performed exome sequencing on DNA from 107 healthy controls and 33 cases. We examined these data for associations between either MCC mutational status, genetic ancestry or consanguinity and the absence or presence/specificity of clinical symptoms in MCCD cases. We determined that individuals with non-specific clinical phenotypes are highly inbred compared to cases that are asymptomatic and healthy controls. For five of these individuals we discovered a homozygous damaging mutation in a disease gene that is likely to underlie their non-specific clinical phenotypes previously attributed to MCCD.</p>

Project description:Enlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA) is one of the most commonly identified inner ear malformations in hearing loss patients including Pendred syndrome. While biallelic mutations of the SLC26A4 gene, encoding pendrin, causes non-syndromic hearing loss with EVA or Pendred syndrome, a considerable number of patients appear to carry mono-allelic mutation. This suggests faulty pendrin regulatory machinery results in hearing loss. Here we identify EPHA2 as another causative gene of Pendred syndrome with SLC26A4. EphA2 forms a protein complex with pendrin controlling pendrin localization, which is disrupted in some pathogenic forms of pendrin. Moreover, point mutations leading to amino acid substitution in the EPHA2 gene are identified from patients bearing mono-allelic mutation of SLC26A4. Ephrin-B2 binds to EphA2 triggering internalization with pendrin inducing EphA2 autophosphorylation weakly. The identified EphA2 mutants attenuate ephrin-B2- but not ephrin-A1-induced EphA2 internalization with pendrin. Our results uncover an unexpected role of the Eph/ephrin system in epithelial function.

Project description:Recessive mutations in EXOSC3, encoding a subunit of the human RNA exosome complex, cause Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1b (PCH1B). We report a boy with severe muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, progressive microcephaly, and cerebellar atrophy. Biochemical abnormalities comprised mitochondrial Complex I and PDHc deficiency. Whole exome sequencing uncovered a known EXOSC3-mutation p.(D132A) as the underlying cause. In patient fibroblasts, >50% of the EXOSC3 protein was trapped in the cytosol. mtDNA-copy numbers in muscle were reduced to 40%, but mutations in the mtDNA and nuclear mitochondrial genes were excluded. RNA-seq of patient muscle showed highly increased mRNA-copy numbers, especially for genes encoding structural subunits of OXPHOS-complexes I, III, and IV, possibly due to reduced degradation by a dysfunctional exosome complex. This is the first case of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with an EXOSC3 mutation, which expands the phenotypic spectrum of PCH1B. We discuss the links between exosome and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Project description:Defective complex I (CI) is the most common type of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) disease in patients, with an incidence of 1 in 5,000 live births. Complex I deficiency can present in infancy or early adulthood and shows a wide variety of clinical manifestations, including Leigh syndrome, (cardio)myopathy, hypotonia, stroke, ataxia and lactic acidosis. A number of critical processes and factors, like superoxide production, calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial morphology, are known to be involved in clinical CI deficiency, but not all factors are yet known and a complete picture is lacking. Therefore, whole genome gene expression profiling was performed in fibroblasts of CI deficient patients and controls, comparing glycolytic and oxidative conditions. Linear regression and pathway analysis identified a number of key adaptive processes. Fibroblasts were derived from skin biopsies of five patients homozygous or compound heterozygous for nuclear complex I mutations and five controls. The groups were matched for age and sex.

Project description:Background The genetic diversity of loci and mutations underlying hereditary hearing loss is an active area of investigation. To identify loci associated with predominantly non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss, we performed exome sequencing of families and of single probands, as well as copy number variation (CNV) mapping in a case-control cohort. Results Analysis of three distinct families revealed several candidate loci in two families and a single strong candidate gene, MYH7B, for hearing loss in one family. MYH7B encodes a Type II myosin, consistent with a role for cytoskeletal proteins in hearing. High-resolution genome-wide CNV analysis of 150 cases and 157 controls revealed deletions in genes known to be involved in hearing (e.g. GJB6, OTOA, and STRC, encoding connexin 30, otoancorin, and stereocilin, respectively), supporting CNV contributions to hearing loss phenotypes. Additionally, a novel region on chromosome 16 containing part of the PDXDC1 gene was found to be frequently deleted in hearing loss patients (OR = 3.91, 95% CI: 1.62-9.40, p = 1.45 x 10-7). Conclusions We conclude that many known as well as novel loci and distinct types of mutations not typically tested in clinical settings can contribute to the etiology of hearing loss. Our study also demonstrates the challenges of exome sequencing and genome-wide CNV mapping for direct clinical application, and illustrates the need for functional and clinical follow-up as well as curated open-access databases. Single replicates of 151 non-syndromic hereditary hearing loss cases and 157 controls with normal hearing were analyzed.

Project description:Activating transcription factor 6 (Atf6) is a key regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and is important for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function and protein homeostasis in metazoan cells. Patients carrying loss-of-function ATF6 disease alleles develop the cone dysfunction disorder, achromatopsia. The impact of loss of ATF6 function on other cell types, organs, and diseases in people remains unclear. Here, we reported that progressive sensorineural hearing loss was a notable complaint in some patients carrying ATF6 disease alleles and that Atf6-/- mice also showed progressive auditory deficits affecting both genders. In mice with hearing deficits, we found disorganized stereocilia on hair cells and focal loss of outer hair cells. Transcriptomic analysis of Atf6-/- cochleae revealed marked induction of UPR, especially through the PERK arm. These findings identify ATF6 as an essential regulator of cochlear health and function. Furthermore, they supported that ATF6 inactivation in people causes progressive sensorineural hearing loss as part of a blindness-deafness genetic syndrome targeting hair cells and cone photoreceptors. Lastly, our genetic findings support ER stress as an important pathomechanism underlying cochlear damage and hearing loss with clinical implications for patient lifestyle modifications that minimize environmental/physiologic sources of ER stress to the ear.

Project description:NGlY1 deficiency is an ultra-rare, autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene encoding N-glycanase one that removes N-linked glycan. Patients with pathogenic mutations in NGLY1 have complex clinical symptoms including global developmental delay, motor disorder, and liver dysfunction. To better understand disease pathogensis and neurological symptoms of NGLY1 deficiency we generated and characterized midbrain organoids using patient-derived iPSCs from two patients with disease causing mutations.

Project description:The demyelination (dmy) rat is a unique spontaneous myelin mutation that exhibits severe myelin breakdown with a late onset of clinical signs. The causative autosomal recessive mutation has been identified at the MRS2 magnesium transporter (Mrs2) gene, which encodes an essential component of the major Mg2+ influx system in mitochondria. To clarify the pathogenesis of myelin destruction in dmy rats, we performed a microarray analysis using spinal cord samples.
