Project description:Sporadic heterozygous mutations in SYNGAP1 affect social and emotional behaviour that are often observed in intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although neurophysiological deficits have been extensively studied, the epigenetic landscape of SYNGAP1 mutation-mediated intellectual disability is unexplored. Here, we have surprisingly found that the p300/CBP specific acetylation marks of histones are significantly repressed in the adolescent hippocampus of Syngap1+/- mouse. To establish the causal relationship of Syngap1+/- phenotype and the altered histone acetylation signature we have treated 2-4 months old Syngap1+/- mouse with glucose-derived carbon nanosphere (CSP) conjugated potent small molecule activator (TTK21) of p300/CBP lysine acetyltransferase (CSP-TTK21). The enhancement of the p300/CBP specific acetylation marks of histones by CSP-TTK21 restored deficits in spine density, synaptic function, and social preferences of Syngap1+/- mouse that is very closely comparable to wild type littermates. The hippocampal RNA-Seq analysis of the treated mice revealed that the expression of many critical genes related to the ID/ASD reversed due to the treatment of the specific small molecule activator. This study could be the first demonstration of the reversal of autistic behaviour and neural wiring upon the modulation of altered epigenetic modification (s).

Project description:SETD5 gene mutations have been identified as a frequent cause of idiopathic intellectual disability. Here we show that Setd5 haploinsufficient mice present developmental defects such as abnormal brain to body weight ratio and neural crest defect associated phenotypes. Furthermore, Setd5 mutant mice show impairments in cognitive tasks, enhanced long-term potentiation, delayed ontogenetic profile of ultrasonic vocalisation and behavioural inflexibility. Behavioural issues are accompanied by abnormal expression of postsynaptic density proteins previously associated with cognition. Our data suggest that Setd5 might regulate RNA polymerase II dynamics and gene transcription during development and learning via its interaction with the Hdac3 and Paf1 complexes. Our results emphasize the decisive role of Setd5 in a biological pathway found to be disrupted in intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder patients.

Project description:Identifying causes of sporadic intellectual disability remains a considerable medical challenge. Here, we demonstrate that null mutations in the NONO gene, a member of the Drosophila Behavior Human Splicing (DBHS) protein family, are a novel cause of X-linked syndromic intellectual disability. Comparing humans to Nono-deficient mice revealed related behavioral and craniofacial anomalies, as well as global transcriptional dysregulation. Nono-deficient mice also showed deregulation of a large number of synaptic transcripts, causing a disorganization of inhibitory synapses, with impaired postsynaptic scaffolding of gephyrin. Alteration of gephyrin clustering could be rescued by over-expression of Gabra2 in NONO-compromised neurons. These findings link NONO to intellectual disability and first highlight the key role of DBHS proteins in functional organization of GABAergic synapses.

Project description:Intellectual disability is a common condition that carries lifelong severe medical and developmental consequences. The causes of intellectual disability (ID) remain unknown for the majority of patients due to the extensive clinical and genetic heterogeneity of this disorder. De novo mutations may play an important role in ID as most individuals with ID present as isolated cases without family history and/or clear syndromic indication. In addition, the involvement of such mutations have recently been demonstrated in a small number of individuals with ID. Here we evaluate the diagnostic potential and role of de novo mutations in a cohort of 100 patients with ID of unknown cause using family-based exome sequencing. Single end short-read (50 bp) SOLiD 4 sequencing data for 300 individuals, constituting 100 patient-parent trios. For more details please read; http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1206524.

Project description:Intellectual disability (ID) is a clinically important disease and a most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. The etiology and pathogenesis of ID are poorly recognized. Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation in the POLR3B gene in a consanguineous family with three Intellectual disability with craniofacal anomalies patients. POLR3B gene encoding the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase III. To explore how genetic variants alter cell expression in ID patients, RNA sequencing on blood samples was performed and to obtain insights into the biological pathways influenced by POLR3B mutation, we applied our RNA-Seq data to several gene ontology programs such as ToppGene, Enrichr, KEGG. We detected a significant decrease expression of several spliceosomal RNAs, ribosomal proteins and transcription factors in our ID patients. We hypothesize that POLR3B mutation dysregulates the expression of some important transcription factors, ribosomal and spliceosomal genes and impairments in protein synthesis and splicing mediated in part by transcription factors such as FOXC2, GATA1, .. contribute to impaired neuronal function and concurrence of intellectual disability and craniofacial anomalies in our patients. Our study highlights the emerging role of spliceosome and ribosomal proteins in intellectual disability.

Project description:L061 family with idiopathic non-syndromic intellectual disability remained unsolved after targeted screening of ID-related genes, array-CGH and exome sequencing. In order to perform custom tandem repeat screening on the X chromosome by long read single molecule sequencing, X-linkage needed to be confirmed by SNP arrays.
