Project description:SIFD (Congenital sideroblastic anemia, B-cell immunodeficiency, Periodic fevers and Developmental delay) Syndrome is caused by biallelic mutations in tRNA nucleotidyltransferase CCA-adding, 1 (TRNT1) gene. The onset of the disease is usually neonatal or in early infancy and the clinical presentation is widely heterogeneous. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with ring sideroblasts, which is characterised by somatic mutations in SF3B1 gene in more than 80% of cases, have never been reported as associated with SIFD Syndrome. Here we report a case of an adult male patient with a novel non-sense heterozygous mutation in TRNT1 gene, which developed MDS with somatic K700E SF3B1 mutation and trisomy 8. WES revealed additional somatic variations affecting genes implicated in cell proliferation, apoptosis and DNA mismatch repair: ARID1A, HERC1, IL4R, TMEM260 and CDKL3. Besides the typical recurrent aseptic pneumonias and sinopulmonary bacterial infections, he developed lymphohistiocytic subcutaneous panniculitis and subsequently a subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL), suggesting that predisposition in the TRNT1 positive syndrome extends to both lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms. This report is particularly relevant to provide insights on the hematological impact of TRNT1 positive syndrome in adults and to improve early diagnosis and management of this rare disease.
Project description:In this study, to obtain a complete registry of genetic lesions in MDS and to identify novel therapeutic targets, we performed SNP array analysis and whole exome analysis for novel mutations using high-throughput sequencing technologies. In whole exome analysis, paired CD3-positive T cells were used as a normal control. By comparing sequences in tumors and paired T cells, 268 non-synonymous somatic mutations were confirmed with an overall true positive rate of 53.9 %, including 206 missense, 25 nonsense, and 10 splice site mutations, and 27 frameshift-causing insertions/deletions (indels). The mutations of the known gene targets, however, accounted for only 12.3 % of all detected mutations (N = 33), and the remaining 235 mutations involved previously unreported genes. Combined with the genomic copy number profile obtained by SNP array karyotyping, this array of somatic mutations provided a landscape of myelodysplasia genomes. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 250K SNP arrays was performed for 29 MDS or related neoplasms and paired 29 germline samples.
Project description:MDS patients are characterized as the deletion in chromosome 17. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from MDS fibroblasts. We performed SNP microarray analysis using Affymetrix axiom EUR array platform.

Project description:We recently identified recurrent mutations of cohesin complex in myeloid neoplasms through whole-exome sequencing analysis. In this study, we performed SNP array analysis to detect abnormal copy number of the cohesin genes. Copy number analysis by Affymetrix 50K or 250K SNP arrays was performed for 93 AML and 70 MDS tumor samples.
Project description:MDS patients are characterized as the deletion in chromosome 17. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from MDS fibroblasts. We performed SNP microarray analysis using Affymetrix axiom EUR array platform. Affymetrix axiom EUR arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from MDS fibroblasts and iPSCs.
Project description:The progressive mechanism of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) remains unknown. We report that ROBO1 and ROBO2 are identified as novel progression-related somatic mutations using whole-exome and targeted sequencing in six of 16 (37.5%) paired MDS patients undergoing disease progression. To investigated the effect of ROBO1 or ROBO2 on ROBO1/2 CN number and LOH, we employed a Cytosan 750K chip to analyze the copy-number variations (CNVs) and loss of heterogeneity (LOH) in MDS patients with ROBO1&2 mutations. Copy number and LOH analysis of Affymetrix CytoScan 750K array was performed for 14 MDS patients with ROBO1 or ROBO2 mutations
