Patients with Thyroid Dyshormonogenesis and DUOX2 Variants: Molecular and Clinical Description and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation.

ABSTRACT: Thyroid dyshormonogenesis (THD) is a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases caused by the total or partial defect in the synthesis or secretion of thyroid hormones. Genetic variants in DUOX2 can cause partial to total iodination organification defects and clinical heterogeneity, from transient to permanent congenital hypothyroidism. The aim of this study was to undertake a molecular characterization and genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with THD and candidate variants in DUOX2. A total of 31 (19.38%) patients from the Catalan Neonatal Screening Program presented with variants in DUOX2 that could explain their phenotype. Fifteen (48.39%) patients were compound heterozygous, 10 (32.26%) heterozygous, and 4 (12.90%) homozygous. In addition, 8 (26.67%) of these patients presented variants in other genes. A total of 35 variants were described, 10 (28.57%) of these variants have not been previously reported in literature. The most frequent variant in our cohort was c.2895_2898del/p.(Phe966SerfsTer29), classified as pathogenic according to reported functional studies. The final diagnosis of this cohort was permanent THD in 21 patients and transient THD in 10, according to reevaluation and/or need for treatment with levothyroxine. A clear genotype-phenotype correlation could not be identified; therefore, functional studies are necessary to confirm the pathogenicity of the variants.

Project description:Background Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome (JPS) is an autosomal dominant condition with hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal malignancy. Disease causing variants (DCVs) in BMPR1a or SMAD4 account for 45–60% of JPS cases, with BMPR1a DCVs accounting for 17–38% of JPS cases. Within those with either a BMPR1a or SMAD4 DCV, there is phenotypic variability in location of polyps, risk of malignancy and extra-intestinal manifestations with limited published reports of gene-phenotype association or genotype–phenotype correlation. We aimed to identify any gene-phenotype association or genotype–phenotype correlation in BMPR1a to inform surveillance recommendations, and gene-specific modification to the ACMG classification of pathogenicity of DCVs. Methods A literature search was performed through EMBASE, MEDLINE and PubMed. Studies that were included explored BMPR1a DCV-related JPS or contiguous deletion of PTEN and BMPR1a. Data was also drawn from the BMPR1a specific databases on LOVD and ClinVar. Results There were 211 DCVs in BMPR1a identified, 82 from patients with JPS in the literature, and 17 from LOVD and 112 from ClinVar classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. These included missense, nonsense and frameshift variants and large deletions, occurring across all functional domains of the gene. Unlike in SMAD4 carriers, gastric polyposis and malignancy were not identified in our review in BMPR1a carriers, but colonic polyposis and malignancy occurred in carriers of either BMPR1a or SMAD4 DCVs. Those with contiguous deletion of PTEN and BMPR1a can present with JPS of infancy, with a severe phenotype of GI bleeding, diarrhoea, exudative enteropathy and rectal prolapse. No specific BMPR1a genotype–phenotype correlation could be ascertained including by variant type or functional domain. Conclusion Phenotypic characteristics cannot be used to inform variant location in BMPR1a. However, the phenotypic characteristics of BMPR1a DCV carriers, being almost exclusively related to the colon and rectum, can assist in pathogenicity assessment of BMPR1a variants. Given these findings, we propose that carriers of BMPR1a DCVs should only require surveillance for colorectal polyps and malignancy, and that surveillance for gastric polyps and malignancy may be unnecessary. However variant location within BMPR1a does not support differential surveillance recommendations.
