Co-occurrence of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B: coincidence or common molecular mechanism?

ABSTRACT: Imprinting disorders are congenital diseases caused by dysregulation of genomic imprinting, affecting growth, neurocognitive development, metabolism and cancer predisposition. Overlapping clinical features are often observed among this group of diseases. In rare cases, two fully expressed imprinting disorders may coexist in the same patient. A dozen cases of this type have been reported so far. Most of them are represented by individuals affected by Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) and Transient Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus (TNDM) or BWSp and Pseudo-hypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B). All these patients displayed multilocus imprinting disturbances (MLID). Here, we report the first case of co-occurrence of BWS and PHP1B in the same individual in absence of MLID. Genome-wide methylation and SNP-array analyses demonstrated loss of methylation of the KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR on chromosome 11p15.5 as molecular cause of BWSp, and upd(20)pat as cause of PHP1B. The absence of MLID and the heterodisomy of chromosome 20 suggests that BWSp and PHP1B arose through distinct and independent mechanism in our patient.

Novel genetic variants of KHDC3L and other members of the subcortical maternal complex associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1B and multi-locus imprinting disturbances

Project description:Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B) are imprinting disorders (ID) caused by deregulation of the imprinted gene clusters located at 11p15.5 and 20q13.32, respectively. In both of these diseases a subset of the patients is affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). In several families, MLID is associated with damaging variants of maternal-effect genes encoding protein components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC). However, frequency, penetrance and recurrence risks of these variants are still undefined. In this study, we screened two cohorts of BWS patients and one cohort of PHP1B patients for the presence of MLID, and analysed the positive cases for the presence of maternal variants in the SCMC genes by whole exome-sequencing and in silico functional studies. We identified 10 new cases of MLID associated with the clinical features of either BWS or PHP1B, in which segregate 13 maternal putatively damaging missense variants of the SCMC genes. The affected genes also included KHDC3L that has not been associated with MLID to date. Moreover, we highlight the possible relevance of relatively common variants in the aetiology of MLID. Our data further add to the list of the SCMC components and maternal variants that are involved in MLID, as well as of the associated clinical phenotypes. Also, we propose that in addition to rare variants, common variants may play a role in the aetiology of MLID and imprinting disorders by exerting an additive effect in combination with rarer putatively damaging variants. These findings provide useful information for the molecular diagnosis and recurrence risk evaluation of MLID-associated IDs in genetic counselling.

Clinical spectrum of multi-locus imprinting disturbances associated with maternal-effect variants range from overt Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome to apparently healthy phenotype

Project description:Multi-locus imprinting Disturbances (MLID) are methylation defects affecting germline-derived Differentially Methylated Regions (gDMRs) and they have been associated with maternal-effect variants causing imprinting disorders in the offspring. In a family with multiple pregnancy losses, a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and a further child without any features of imprinting disorders, novel compound heterozygous variants in the NLRP5 gene of the mother were found. Locus-specific and whole-genome methylation analysis by using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (WG-317-1001, Illumina) revealed MLID with different methylation profiles in both the siblings. The proband and the normal sibling were found to cluster with other MLID cases as shown by principal component analysis and unsupervised hierarchical clustering and remain distinct from controls. However, we were unable to cluster MLID cases associated with specific clinical phenotypes. The identification of two novel maternal-effect variants of NLRP5 associated with poly-abortivity and MLID add further evidence to the role of NLRP5 in the maintenance of genomic imprinting in early embryos. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that within these pedigrees MLID can also be present in the progeny with healthy phenotype, indicating that some sort of compensation occurs between altered imprinted loci in these individuals.

Wilms Tumor in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Loss of Methylation at Imprinting Centre 2 [HumanOmni2.5M]

Project description:Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an overgrowth syndrome caused by a variety of molecular changes on chromosome 11p15.5. Children with BWS have a significant risk of developing Wilms tumours with the degree of risk being dependent on the underlying molecular mechanism. In particular, only a relatively small number of children with loss of methylation at the centromeric imprinting centre (IC2) were reported to have developed Wilms tumour. Discontinuation of tumour surveillance for children with BWS and loss of methylation at IC2 has been proposed in several recent publications. We report here three children with BWS reported to have loss of methylation at IC2 on clinical testing who developed Wilms tumour or precursor lesions. Using multiple molecular approaches and multiple tissues, we reclassified one of these cases to paternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 11p15.5. These cases highlight the current challenges in definitively assigning tumour risk based on molecular classification in BWS. The confirmed cases of loss of methylation at IC2 also suggest that the risk of Wilms tumour in this population is not low as previously thought. Therefore, we recommend that for now, all children with a clinical diagnosis of BWS be screened for Wilms tumour by abdominal ultrasonography until the age of 8 regardless of the molecular classification.

Altered microRNA expression profiles in large offspring syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

Project description:The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can induce a congenital overgrowth condition in humans and ruminants, namely Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and large offspring syndrome (LOS), respectively. Shared phenotypes and epigenotypes have been found between BWS and LOS. We have observed global misregulation of transcripts in bovine foetuses with LOS. microRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. We hypothesize that there is miRNA misregulation in LOS and that this misregulation is shared with BWS. In this study, small RNA sequencing was conducted to investigate miRNA expression profiles in bovine and human samples. We detected 407 abundant known miRNAs and predicted 196 putative miRNAs from the bovine sequencing results and identified 505 abundant miRNAs in human tongue. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were identified between control and LOS groups in all tissues analysed as well as between BWS and control human samples. DE-miRNAs were detected from several miRNA clusters including DLK1-DIO3 genomic imprinted cluster in LOS and BWS. DNA hypermethylation was associated with downregulation of miRNAs in the DLK1-DIO3. mRNA targets of the DE-miRNAs were predicted and signalling pathways associated with control of organ size (including the Hippo signalling pathway), cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell survival, cell cycle, and cell adhesion were found to be enriched with these genes. Yes associated protein 1 (YAP1) is the core effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, and increased level of active (non-phosphorylated) YAP1 protein was detected in skeletal muscle of LOS foetuses. Overall, our data provide evidence of miRNA misregulation in LOS and BWS.

Whole-genome gene expression profiles of peripheral blood cells in an individual with Long QT syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

Project description:We report RNAseq profiles of an individual carrying a maternally inherited splice variant in the first intron of the KCNQ1 gene and displaying complete loss of methylation at KCNQ1OT1:TSS DMR, the Imprinting Control Region of the centromeric domain of the Beckwith-Wiedemann locus. The half-sister was used as control. We show that the most 5’ 10 kb of KCNQ1 is about 2-3-fold more abundant than the rest of the gene in the proband, while RNA level was homogeneously distributed along the entire gene in the control. These results are consistent with data obtained from locus-specific analyses and overall suggest that premature termination of the KCNQ1 gene is occurring in cis with the splice variant and is associated with lack of methylation of the KCNQ1OT1:TSS DMR on the maternal chromosome.

Loss-of-function maternal-effect mutations of PADI6 are associated with familial and sporadic Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance

Project description:PADI6 is a component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) which is a group of proteins that are abundantly expressed in the oocyte cytoplasm and essential for the proper development of the early embryo. The mutation(s) in the components of the subcortical maternal complex have been associated with reproductive failures, including formation of hydatidiform mole, female infertility and imprinting disorders with multi-locus imprinting disturbance (MLIDs).In the current study by using whole-exome sequencing analysis, we identified four cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance while their mothers were carriers of variants in PADI6 gene. Genome-wide methylation profiling using Methylation EPIC array depicted the loss of methylation specifically at several known imprinted loci in affected individuals as compared to healthy siblings, parents and controls. Our findings firmly establish the role of PADI6 in imprinting disorders.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

Project description:Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a model disorder for the study of imprinting, growth dysregulation, and tumorigenesis. Unique observations in this disorder point to an important embryonic developmental window relevant to the observations of increased monozygotic twinning and an increased rate of epigenetic errors after subfertility/assisted reproduction.

Gene expression analysis of human cell lines established from normal patient's fibroblast and BWS patients with known mutations in the CDKN1C and KCNQ1OT1

Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out in one normal human fibroblast cell line established from normal people and three different cell lines established from BWS patients to characterize the molecular mechanisms relevant to the etiology of BWS and tumor development. Whole-transcriptome sequencing of three BWS fibroblastic cell lines was established from patients with mutation in the CDKN1C mutation (CDKN1C+ cell line), and loss of methylation in the KCNQ1OT1 region (KvDMR+ cell line: with KvDMR molecular defect, and KvDMR- cell line: absence of KvDMR molecular defect but it had some clinical signs of BWS)
