Project description:Finding gene associations in rare diseases is frequently hampered by the reduced numbers of patients accessible. Conventional gene-based association tests rely on the availability of large cohorts, which constitutes a serious limitation for its application in this scenario. To overcome this problem we have used here a combined strategy in which a functional association study (pathway-based analysis) has been conducted to prioritize candidate genes in a Spanish cohort of 53 trios of short-segment Hirschsprung's disease that have been further validated in a larger population of 146 trios. The study revealed a strong association of 10 gene ontology (GO) modules related to signal transduction and its regulation, enteric nervous system (ENS) formation and other HSCR-related processes to the disease. A total of 10 new loci among the preselected candidates were found to be significantly associated to HSCR. This approach, based on the study of functionally-related gene sets, requires of lower sample sizes and opens new opportunities for the study of rare diseases. DNA derived from peripheral blood was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® 500K mapping arrays. In total, 53 trios were analyzed consisting of affected child and their unaffected parents.

Project description:Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a neurocristopathy characterized by absence of intramural ganglion cells along variable lengths of the gastrointestinal tract. The HSCR phenotype is highly variable with respect to gender, segment length of aganglionosis, familiality and the presence of additional anomalies. By molecular genetic analysis, a minimum of 11 neuro-developmental genes (RET, GDNF, NRTN, SOX10, EDNRB, EDN3, ECE1, ZFHX1B, PHOX2B, KIAA1279, TCF4) are known to harbor rare high-penetrance mutations that confer a large risk to the bearer. In addition, two other genes (RET, NRG1) harbor common low-penetrance polymorphisms that contribute only partially to risk and act as genetic modifiers. To broaden this search, we examined whether a set of 67 proven and candidate HSCR genes harbored additional modifier alleles. In this pilot study, we utilized a custom-designed array CGH with ~33,000 test probes at an average resolution of ~185bp to detect gene-sized or smaller copy number variants (CNVs) within these 67 genes in 18 heterogeneous HSCR patients. Using stringent criteria, we identified CNVs at three loci (MAPK10, ZFHX1B, SOX2) that are novel, involve regulatory and coding sequences of these neuro-developmental genes and show association with HSCR in combination with other congenital anomalies.

Project description:Objective Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a severe congenital disorder affecting 1:5000 live births. HSCR results from failure of enteric nervous system (ENS) progenitors to fully colonise the gastrointestinal tract during embryonic development. This leads to aganglionosis in the distal bowel, resulting in disrupted motor activity and impaired peristalsis. Currently, the only viable treatment option is surgical resection of the aganglionic bowel. However, patients frequently suffer debilitating, lifelong symptoms, with multiple surgical procedures often necessary. Hence, alternative treatment options are crucial. An attractive strategy involves the transplantation of ENS progenitors generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Design ENS progenitors were generated from hPSCs using an accelerated protocol and characterised, in detail, through a combination of single cell RNA-sequencing, protein expression analysis and calcium imaging. We tested ENS progenitors’ capacity to integrate and restore functional responses in HSCR colon, after ex vivo transplantation to organotypically cultured patient-derived colonic tissue, using organ bath contractility. Results We found that our protocol consistently gives rise to high yields of cell populations exhibiting transcriptional and functional hallmarks of early ENS progenitors. Following transplantation, hPSC-derived ENS progenitors integrate, migrate and form neurons within explanted human HSCR colon samples. Importantly, the transplanted HSCR tissue displayed increased basal contractile activity and increased responses to electrical stimulation compared to control tissue. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate, for the first time, the potential of hPSC-derived ENS progenitors to repopulate and restore functional responses in human HSCR patient colonic tissue.

Project description:Ongoing studies using genomic microarrays and next-generation sequencing have demonstrated that the genetic contributions to cardiovascular diseases have been significantly ignored in the past. The aim of this study was to identify rare copy number variants in individuals with congenital pulmonary atresia (PA). Based on the hypothesis that rare structural variants encompassing key genes play an important role in heart development in PA patients, we performed high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. CNVs were identified in 17/82 patients (20.7%), and eight of these CNVs (9.8%) are considered potentially pathogenic. Five de novo CNVs occurred at two known congenital heart disease (CHD) loci (16p13.1 and 22q11.2). Two de novo CNVs that may affect folate and vitamin B12 metabolism were identified for the first time. A de novo 1-Mb deletion at 17p13.2 may represent a rare genomic disorder that involves mild intellectual disability and associated facial features. high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. Only 21 samples with potentially pathogenic CNVs are included in this records

Project description:Purpose: Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR, OMIM 142623) represents one of the main causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction. It is caused by dysfunction of neural crest cells (NCCs) and their progeny during development of the enteric nervous system (ENS). HSCR is considered a multifactorial disorder, however, associated risk genes only account for a minority of cases. Consequently, defining disease-relevant variants is still a demanding task. Methods: To reduce the number of candidate genes identified by Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and to examine their disease-causing relevance, we established a complementary study pipeline including transcriptome data of murine embryonic ENS-relevant tissues, literature and database searches, in silico network analyses as well as functional assays using genome-edited candidate-specific cell clones. Results: Applying this strategy on a pilot set of two HSCR patients and their non-affected parents led to the identification of four novel HSCR candidate genes: ATP7A, SREBF1, ABCD1 and PIAS2. This candidate gene selection was corroborated by the discovery of further rare variants in additional HSCR cases. Moreover, expression analyses revealed that all four genes are expressed in embryonic murine gastrointestinal tissues. Functional analyses using candidate gene-specific, neuronal-like CRISPR/Cas9-edited knockout cell clones demonstrated impaired differentiation, proliferation and/or cell survival capacity. Conclusions: Taken together, the presented study pipeline was proven to be suitable for the selection and validation of candidate genes as well as to gain insight into underlying pathomechanisms of HSCR.

Project description:ObjectivesKnowledge on long-term outcomes in patients with Hirschsprung disease is progressing. Nevertheless, differences in outcomes according to aganglionic lengths are unclear. We compared long-term bowel function and generic quality of life in Hirschsprung patients with total colonic or long-segment versus rectosigmoid aganglionosis.MethodsIn this nationwide, cross-sectional study participants with proven Hirschsprung disease received the Defecation and Fecal Continence questionnaire, and the Child Health Questionnaire Child Form-87, or the WHO Quality of Life-100. We excluded deceased patients, patients who were younger than 8 years, lived abroad, had a permanent enterostomy, or were intellectually impaired.ResultsThe study population (n = 334) was operated for rectosigmoid (83.9%), long-segment (8.7%), or total colonic aganglionosis (7.5%). Fecal incontinence in general was not significantly different between the three groups, but liquid fecal incontinence was significantly associated with total colonic aganglionosis (odds ratio [OR] = 6.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.07-17.38, P = 0.001). Regarding constipation, patients with total colonic or long-segment aganglionosis were less likely to suffer from constipation than the rectosigmoid group (OR = 0.21, 95% CI, 0.05-0.91, P = 0.038 and OR = 0.11, 95% CI, 0.01-0.83, P = 0.032). Quality of life was comparable between the three groups, except for a lower physical score in children with total colonic aganglionosis (P = 0.016).ConclusionsOver time Hirschsprung patients with total colonic or long-segment aganglionosis do not suffer from worse fecal incontinence in general. A difference in stool consistency may underlie the association between liquid fecal incontinence and total colonic aganglionosis and constipation in patients with rectosigmoid aganglionosis. Despite these differences, generic quality of life is comparable on reaching adulthood.
