Project description:Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS) is a rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome marked by haploinsufficiency of genes in chromosomal region 11p11.2p12. Approximately 50 cases of PSS have been reported; however, a syndrome with a PSS-like clinical phenotype caused by 11p11.12p12 duplication has not yet been reported. We first report the 11p11.12p12 duplication in a family with intellectual disability and craniofacial anomalies. 11p11.12p12 duplication syndrome was identified by karyotype analysis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis clarified the location of the chromosomal variations, which was confirmed by chromosome microarray analysis (CMA). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to exclude single nucleotide variations (SNVs). The raw data of NGS analysis and WES have been submitted to SRA, the accession number is PRJNA713823.

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: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:BackgroundPotocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS) is a rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome marked by haploinsufficiency of genes in chromosomal region 11p11.2p12. Approximately 50 cases of PSS have been reported; however, a syndrome with a PSS-like clinical phenotype caused by 11p11.12p12 duplication has not yet been reported.Methods11p11.12p12 duplication syndrome was identified and evaluated using a multidisciplinary protocol. Diagnostic studies included intelligence testing, thorough physical examination, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, ultrasonography, biochemical tests and karyotype analysis. Next-generation sequencing analysis clarified the location of the chromosomal variations, which was confirmed by chromosome microarray analysis (CMA). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to exclude single nucleotide variations (SNVs). A wider literature search was performed to evaluate the correlation between the genes contained in the chromosomal region and clinical phenotypes.ResultsThe proband was a 36-year-old mother with intellectual disability (ID) and craniofacial anomalies (CFA). She and her older son, who had a similar clinical phenotype, both carried the same 11p11.12p12 duplication with a copy number increase of approximately 10.5 Mb (chr11:40231033_50762504, GRCh37/hg19) in chromosome bands 11p11.12p12. In addition, she gave birth to a child with a normal phenotype who did not carry the 11p11.12p12 duplication. By literature research and DECIPHER, we identified some shared and some distinct features between this duplication syndrome and PSS. One or more of ALX4, SLC35C1, PHF21A and MAPK8IP1 may be responsible for 11p11.12p12 duplication syndrome.ConclusionsWe present the first report of 11p11.12p12 duplication syndrome. It is an interesting case worth reporting. The identification of clinical phenotypes will facilitate genetic counselling. A molecular cytogenetic approach was helpful in identifying the genetic aetiology of the patients and potential candidate genes with triplosensitive effects involved in 11p11.12p12 duplication.

Project description:Intellectual disability is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 2-3% of the general population. Syndromic forms of intellectual disability frequently have a genetic basis and are often accompanied by additional developmental anomalies. Pathogenic variants in components of TATA-binding protein associated factors (TAFs) have recently been identified in a subset of patients with intellectual disability, craniofacial hypoplasia, and congenital heart disease. This syndrome has been termed as a TAFopathy and includes mutations in TATA binding protein (TBP), TAF1, TAF2, and TAF6. The underlying mechanism by which TAFopathies give rise to neurodevelopmental, craniofacial, and cardiac abnormalities remains to be defined. Through a forward genetic screen in zebrafish, we have recovered a recessive mutant phenotype characterized by craniofacial hypoplasia, ventricular hypoplasia, heart failure at 96 hours post-fertilization and lethality, and show it is caused by a nonsense mutation in taf5. CRISPR/CAS9 mediated gene editing revealed that these defects where phenocopied by mutations in taf1 and taf5. Mechanistically, taf5-/- zebrafish displayed misregulation in metabolic gene expression and metabolism as evidenced by RNA sequencing, respiration assays, and metabolite studies. Collectively, these findings suggest that the TAF complex may contribute to neurologic, craniofacial, and cardiac development through regulation of metabolism.

Project description:We aimed to define a novel autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder, characterize its clinical features, and identify the underlying genetic cause for this condition. Clinical and genetic data from affected individuals with neurological disorders were matched across families from five global sites. Here, we report five recessive CSPG4 (NM_001897) missense variants [three homozygous: c.A1370G (p.Asp457Gly), c.2627G>A (p.Arg876His) and c.3247C>A (p.Gln1083Lys), and two compound heterozygote: c.A1370G and c.5156A>G (p.Asp457Gly and p.Gln1719Arg) and c.658A>G and c.1220_1221delinsTG (p.(Thr220Ala and p.Pro407Leu)] by next-generation sequencing of five unrelated families with seven affected subjects. All subjects share a novel neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by severe intellectual disability, global developmental delay, delayed ability to walk, speech and language delay, distinctive facial features, along with varying degrees of neurological impairment, including hypotonia, cerebellar hypoplasia, and/or seizures. All CSPG4 variants were predicted to be damaging using in silico tools, and three-dimensional molecular modeling suggested significant alterations in protein stability, compromising inter- and intra-molecular interactions. The impact on neurological and craniofacial development was analyzed in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated zebrafish models. CSPG4 variants affected notochord development, neuronal function, and cerebellar structure along with a disorganized head scaffold with anomalous skeletal and cartilage components. Two individuals metabolomics and crispant transcriptomics revealed significant perturbation of metabolites, extracellular matrix (ECM) regulating pathways, and genes previously described to cause mental retardation, dwarfism, and facial anomalies in humans. Our study links novel, rare, damaging variants of the ECM gene CSPG4 to a novel recessive Mendelian neurodevelopmental disorder in humans and supports the role of CSPG4 in early development.
