Project description:Split Hand/Foot Malformation (SHFM) is a rare limb abnormality with clefting of the fingers and/or toes. For many patients, the genetic etiology is unknown. Through whole exome and targeted sequencing, we detected three novel variants in a transcription factor, PRDM1 that arose de novo in families with SHFM or segregated with the phenotype. PRDM1 has been shown to be required for limb development; however, its role is not well understood, and it is unclear how the PRDM1 variants affect protein function. Using transient and stable overexpression rescue experiments in zebrafish, we show that the variants have reduced function compared to wildtype PRDM1 likely due to disruption of the proline/serine-rich and DNA-binding zinc finger domains. Through expression assays, RNA-seq, and CUT&RUN in isolated pectoral fin cells, we demonstrate that Prdm1a directly binds to and regulates genes required for limb induction, outgrowth, and anterior/posterior patterning, such as fgfr1a, dlx5a, dlx6a, and smo. Together, these results improve our understanding of the role of PRDM1 in the limb gene regulatory network and help predict the pathogenicity of PRDM1 variants in humans

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be important components in gene regulatory networks1, but we are only beginning to understand the nature and extent of their involvement in human Mendelian disease. Here we show that deletions of an unannotated lncRNA locus on human chromosome 2 cause a severe congenital limb malformation. Using exome sequencing and array CGH, we identified homozygous 27-63 kb deletions located 300 kb upstream of the engrailed-1 (EN1) gene in patients with a complex limb malformation, featuring mesomelic shortening, syndactyly, and ventral nails (dorsal dimelia). Re-engineering of the human deletions in mice resulted in a complete loss of limb-specific En1 expression and a double dorsal limb phenotype, recapitulating the human malformation. Genome-wide analysis in the developing mouse limb revealed the presence of a 4-exon long non-coding transcript within the deleted region, which we named Maenli (for Master activator of En1 in the limb). Functional dissection of the Maenli locus showed that limb-specific En1 expression depends on transcription of Maenli and its loss resulted in the double dorsal limb phenotype. Concomitant monoallelic inactivation of En1 and Maenli in double heterozygous mice did not rescue the limb phenotype, indicating that En1 activation in the limb requires the cis-acting regulatory element Maenli. Moreover, our results strongly suggest that En1 activation is dependent on Maenli transcription, but not on the Maenli RNA itself. Thus, Maenli expression in the limb acts in cis to promote En1 transcriptional activation; its loss results in congenital malformation of the limbs, a subset of the full En1 associated phenotype. Together, our findings provide evidence that mutations involving lncRNAs loci can result in human Mendelian disease.
