Molecular Basis for Variations in Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Syndromes

ABSTRACT: Objectives: 1. To examine the variations in clinical features, survival outcomes, family history, and health behavior among proband patients who are known or suspected to have a hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome 2. To compare the clinical features, survival outcomes, and health behavior of the proband vs. his/her family members who may or may not be affected by the hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome 3. To explore for correlations between germline genetic variations in both the probands and family members with observed variations in the overall disease phenotype across probands and kindreds, within a given syndrome. Disease phenotype is defined to include: (1) clinicopathologic features including patient demographics and oncologic outcomes; (2) clinical manifestations of disease including the timing, spectrum and severity of CRC and extracolonic cancers. Genetic variations may include the specific codon mutated, the type of mutation and sequence alteration (e.g. nonsense, missense etc), chromosomal/gene copy number changes, and gene polymorphisms. 4. To explore for correlations between germline genetic variations in both the probands and family members with observed variations in somatic CRC tumor biology, including tumor pathology and other tumor molecular markers

Dominant MLH1 epimutation linked to 5'UTR variant c.-27C>A

Project description:Constitutional epimutations of tumor suppressor genes manifest as promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of a single allele in normal somatic tissues, thereby predisposing to cancer. Constitutional MLH1 epimutations occur in individuals with young-onset cancer and demonstrate non-Mendelian inheritance through their reversal in the germline. We report a cancer-affected family showing dominant transmission of soma-wide highly mosaic MLH1 methylation and transcriptional repression linked to a particular genetic haplotype. The epimutation was erased in spermatozoa but reinstated in the somatic cells of the next generation. The affected haplotype harbored two single nucleotide substitutions in tandem: c.-27C>A located near the transcription initiation site and c.85G>T. The c.-27C>A variant significantly reduced transcriptional activity in reporter assays and is the probable cause of this epimutation. Five members of a three-generation Caucasian Lynch syndrome family with an autosomal dominant MLH1 epimutation linked to a single nucleotide variant (c.-27C>A) within the MLH1 5'UTR were examined for copy number variations and retention of heterozygosity on chromosome 3. These five carriers of constitutional MLH1 methylation and the c.-27C>A variant were compared with 300 healthy Caucasian controls from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium using three algorithms (QuantiSNP, PennCNV, COKGEN) to detect any copy number variants. The five family members studied were female (the proband II5, her affected mother I1, and three asymptomatic relatives II2, II4 and III2) are labeled according to the pedigree in Figure 3 of the associated publication (Hitchins et al., Cancer Cell, 2011). The supplementary file 'GSE30348_gw6.lrr_baf.txt' contains log R ratio and B-allele frequency values in a tab-delimited format with one marker per row.

Affymetrix Cytoscan HD Array Data for a patient with Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and Recto Sigmoid Cancer: a family study

Project description:The present study was carried out on a proband affected by Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS) and his family. The patient developed the primary RSC at 27 years. Three years after primary surgery, the patient developed a second primary (metachronous) rectal cancer relapsed one year later. The PAIS was also diagnosed in his cousin. Both cousins were found positive for the same missense androgen receptor (AR) gene mutation that was inherited from their asymptomatic mothers. The aim of this study was to identify constitutional genetic events that could have played a role in early onset of RSC in the proband. SNP-array analyses were carried out to investigate Copy Number Variations and Uniparental Disomy events as possible genetic causes linked to Colorectal Cancer pathogenesis.

Clinical and molecular characterization of patients with 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome

Project description:The study presents three cases of patients with deletions within 16p11.2 regions. Every child had characteristic craniofacial dysmorphic features and hand or feet abnormalities. The first proband had additionally obesity, epilepsy, moderate intellectual disability, aphasia, motor delay, hyperinsulinism and café au lait spots. The second proband suffered from cardiac, pulmonary and hematological problems. The third proband had motor delay, bronchial asthma and umbilical hernia. Although each patient presented characteristic features of the syndrome, children differed in clinical pictures among themselves. The genetic diagnosis of the 16p11.2 deletion syndrome was made in children at different age, based on the multiplex ligation probe-dependent ampliﬁcation (MLPA) analysis and/or microarrays methods. This study highlights the impact of the size of deleted regions, as they may affect the clinical picture of patients with 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome. Reported cases indicates the key role of the interdisciplinary approach in 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome diagnostics, as the care of patients with this deletion is based on regular health assessment and adjustment of the nervous system development therapy

Combined Genetic and Genealogic Studies Uncover a Large BAP1 Cancer Syndrome Kindred Tracing Back Nine Generations to a Common Ancestor from the 1700s.

Project description:We recently discovered an inherited cancer syndrome caused by BRCA1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) germline mutations with high incidence of mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and other cancers and very high penetrance by age 55. To identify families with the BAP1 cancer syndrome, we screened patients with family histories of multiple mesotheliomas and melanomas and/or multiple cancers. We identified four families that shared an identical BAP1 mutation: they lived across the US and did not appear to be related. By combining family histories, molecular genetics, and genealogical approaches, we uncovered a BAP1 cancer syndrome kindred of ~80,000 descendants with a core of 91 individuals, whose members descend from a couple born in Germany in the early 1700s who immigrated to North America. Their descendants spread throughout the country with mutation carriers affected by multiple malignancies. Our data show that, once a proband is identified, extended analyses of these kindreds, using genomic and genealogical studies to identify the most recent common ancestor, allow investigators to uncover additional branches of the family that may carry BAP1 mutations. Using this knowledge, we have identified new branches of this family carrying BAP1 mutations. We have also implemented early-detection strategies that help identify cancers at early-stage, when they can be cured (melanomas) or are more susceptible to therapy (MM and other malignancies).

Multiple de novo copy number variant (MdnCNV) driven mirror traits and blended phenotype

Project description:Purpose: To determine the genetic variation underlying phenotypic trait manifestation in a Multiple de novo copy number variant (MdnCNV) case. Method: Clinical microarray identified a previously unreported MdnCNV proband. Short and long-read genomic sequencing, SV analyses, and visualization tools for merged datasets were implemented to characterize MdnCNV mutagenesis. Human phenotype ontology based quantitative analyses identified gene(s) driving proband phenotype.Results: Eight dnCNVs of average length ~1 Mb were mapped in the MdnCNV proband. Sequence microhomology/microhomeology was present at 6/8 breakpoint junctions. dnSNVs (6/79) and de novo indels (1/12) are enriched within 4 Mb of the dnCNV regions. Of the duplication encompassed genes, NSD1 and SMARCC2 had the highest phenotypic match to the proband. Conclusion: Biparental origin of constitutive dnCNVs (4:4) supports an early perizygotic mutagenesis event as the cause of genome-wide hypermutation. Microhomology/microhomeology and regional hypermutation supports microhomology-mediated break-induced replication as the process underlying MdnCNV formation. The family reported here, together with published NSD1 variation associated cases further define NSD1 as a triplosensitivity locus that exhibits mirror quantitative traits from those associated with its haploinsufficiency. Quantitative phenotype analysis identified NSD1 and SMARCC2 as contributors to a blended phenotype.

A large novel deletion downstream of PAX6 gene in a Chinese family with coloboma of iris

Project description:The paired box gene 6 (PAX6) is an essential transcription factor for eye formation. Genetic alterations in PAX6 can lead to various ocular malformations including aniridia. The purpose of this study was to identify genetic defects as the underlying cause of familial coloboma of iris in a large Chinese family. After linkage analysis was carried out in this family, all exons of PAX6 in the proband were sequenced by the Sanger sequencing technique. Then the genome of the proband was evaluated by a microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Quantitative real-time PCR was applied to verify the abnormal aCGH findings. All patients presented bilateral partial coloboma of iris, severe congenital nystagmus, hyperpresbyopia and congenital posterior polar cataracts. Two-point linkage analysis in the autosomal dominant family showed loss of heterozygosity at the D11S914 locus. There was no pathogenic mutation in the exons of PAX6. The aCGH analysis revealed a 681 kb heterozygous deletion on chromosome 11p13. Quantitative real-time PCR verified the deletion in the patients and further confirmed this deletion cosegregation with the coloboma of iris phenotype in the family. The 681 kb large deletion of chromosome 11p13 downstream of PAX6 is the genetic cause of the familial coloboma of ocular in this large Chinese family. aCGH should be applied if there is a negative result for the mutation detection of PAX6 in patients with aniridia. One Case sample and one control sample
