DNA methylation analysis in multi-locus imprinting disturbances

ABSTRACT: The aim of our study was to characterize the genotypic and phenotypic extent of multi-locus imprinting disturbances. Therefore, we analyzed the DNA methylation pattern of 37 individuals with different DNA methylation disturbances. Of these 37 individuals 17 were previously diagnosed with a multi-locus methylation disturbance (MLID) and the remaing 20 were diagnosed with a typical single locus imprinting disorder (SLID). We compared the DNA methylation of these 37 individuals to the DNA methylation of 38 evaluable individuals born small for gestational age. Our analysis revealed 21/37 individuals with a multi-locus methylation disturbances, characterzied by an aberrant DNA methylation in more than one imprintend gene region. Validation analyses were performed by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in the two imprinted gene regions ZDBF2 and FAM50B. Our analyses revealed each one patient previously diagnosed with Temple- and Angelman syndrome to have MLID. Furthermore, we showed that many of the aberrantly methylated imprinted gene regions in patients with MLID are not associated with the so far known typical imprinting disorders.

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.

A maternal-effect Padi6 variant causes nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities in oocytes as well as failure of epigenetic reprogramming and zygotic genome activation in embryos [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Maternal inactivation of genes encoding components of the sub-cortical maternal complex (SCMC) and its associated member PADI6 generally results in early embryo lethality. In humans, SCMC gene variants were found in the healthy mothers of children affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). However, how the SCMC controls the DNA methylation required to regulate imprinting remains poorly defined. We generated a mouse line carrying a Padi6 missense variant that was identified in a family with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and MLID. If homozygous in female mice this variant resulted in interruption of embryo development at the 2-cell stage. Single-cell multi-omic analyses demonstrated defective maturation of Padi6-mutant oocytes and incomplete DNA demethylation, down-regulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes, up-regulation of maternal decay genes and developmental delay in 2-cell embryos developing from Padi6-mutant oocytes, but little effect on genomic imprinting. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced level of UHRF1 in oocytes and abnormal localization of DNMT1 and UHRF1 in both oocytes and zygotes. Treatment with 5-azacytidine reverted DNA hypermethylation but did not rescue the developmental arrest of mutant embryos. Taken together, this study demonstrates that PADI6 controls both nuclear and cytoplasmic oocyte processes that are necessary for pre-implantation epigenetic reprogramming and ZGA.

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

Project description: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.

A KHDC3L mutation resulting in recurrent hydatidiform mole causes genome-wide DNA methylation loss in oocytes and persistent imprinting defects post-fertilisation.

Project description:Maternal-effect mutations in components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) of the human oocyte can cause early embryonic failure, gestational abnormalities and recurrent pregnancy loss. Enigmatically, they are also associated with DNA methylation abnormalities at imprinted genes in conceptuses, in the devastating gestational abnormality biparental complete hydatidiform mole (BiCHM) or in multi-locus imprinting disease (MLID). However, the developmental timing, genomic extent and mechanistic basis of these imprinting defects are unknown. Here, we studied methylation level of a women reported with familial recurrent hydatidiform mole and multiple pregnancy loss. Genotype analysis revealed homozygous mutation in KHDC3L. We obtained biparental mole from patient (Patient D) and compared it’s whole-genome methylation profile with respect to control placentas and sporadic mole (AnCHM) using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (WG-317-1001, Illumina). We also used endometrium samples from their respective mother for the comparison purposes. Molar conceptuses were observed with methylation defects at genome-wide level and profound loss of methylation at multiple genome-derived differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) confirming MLID.
