ABSTRACT: Using whole exome sequencing (WES), we identified homozygosity for a missense variant, VPS11: c.2536T>G (p.C846G), as the genetic cause of a leukoencephalopathy syndrome in two individuals from two unrelated Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) families. Both patients exhibited highly concordant disease progression characterized by infantile onset leukoencephalopathy with brain white matter abnormalities, severe motor impairment, cortical blindness, intellectual disability, and seizures.

Population genetic structure of the Ashkenazi Jewish population

Project description:The Ashkenazi Jewish population has long been considered a genetic isolate and presumed to have the genetic signatures of founder effects and isolation. We genotyped a large cohort of Ashkenazi Jews and analyzed their genetic structure compared to other worldwide populations. We genotyped 471 normal control Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with the Affymetrix 6.0 array and analyzed their genetic structure relative to other Europe and worldwide populations. We measured heterozygosity, linkage disequilibrium, identity-by-descent and used extended haplotype tests of positive selection.

Transcription profiling of palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 knockout mice

Project description:Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (aka infantile Batten disease) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder of early childhood characterized by cortical atrophy, blindness and seizures, leading to premature death in the first decade. The disorder is caused by deficiency in a soluble lysosomal enzyme, palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1). PPT1 knockout mice faithfully reproduce the features of the human disease, with motor deterioration, blindness, seizures, and death before 10 months of age. The progression of events leading from enzyme deficiency to organ failure is poorly defined. The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are of particular interest because of the similarities between the accumulated material and lipofuscin that is associated with normal aging. We will determine changes in gene expression that occur during the course of neurodegeneration in PPT1 knockout as compared to control mice. Gene expression profiling of brain tissue from PPT1 knockout mice as compared to normal controls will provide insights into the mechanism of neurodegeneration. Comparison of this profile with gene expression profiles associated with normal aging may provide insights into the contribution of lipofuscin to aging and neurodegeneration. PPT1 knockout mice on a C57BL/6 background will be sacrificed under CO2 and whole brains removed and frozen under liquid nitrogen. Three mice will be used for each time point. Data points will be collected at 3 months, 5 months and 8 months of age. Normal age- and sex-matched C57BL/6 mice will be used as controls.

Comprehensive microRNA profiling in B-cells of human centenarians by massively parallel sequencing

Project description:In this study, we employed massively parallel sequencing technology to identify miRNAs expressed in B-cells from Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians, i.e., those living to a hundred and a human model of exceptional longevity, and younger controls without a family history of longevity. With data from 26.7 million reads comprising 9.4x108 bp from 3 centenarian and 3 control individuals, we discovered a total of 276 known miRNAs and 8 unknown miRNAs ranging several orders of magnitude in expression levels. A total of 22 miRNAs were found to be significantly upregulated, with only 2 miRNAs downregulated, in centenarians as compared to controls. Examination of miRNA profile of two different ages
