Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Malignant Hyperthermia

ABSTRACT:

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic disorder that causes a profound metabolic derangement following exposure to certain anesthetics. While approximately half of all cases are associated with ryanodine receptor-1 gene (RYR1) mutations, many cases have an unknown genetic cause. We sought to identify rare variants in novel MH candidate genes by sequencing the protein-coding regions of the genomes of individuals whose disease was either ruled in or out by the gold-standard diagnostic test. We also carefully selected individuals from well-characterized families to use gene-sharing information and maximize efficiency in the study design. Exome sequencing has helped identify the causes of over a dozen Mendelian disorders, has high power at low sample sizes, and is cost-efficient compared to whole-genome sequencing.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle that presents as a hypermetabolic response to potent volatile anesthetic gases such as halothane, sevoflurane, desflurane and the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine, and rarely, in humans, to stresses such as vigorous exercise and heat. The incidence of MH reactions ranges from 1:5,000 to 1:50,000-100,000 anesthesias. However, the prevalence of the genetic abnormalities may be as great as one in 3,000 individu ...[more]

Mendelian randomization identifies FLCN expression as a mediator of diabetic retinopathy

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify genes whose aberrant expression can contribute to diabetic retinopathy. We determined differential response in gene expression to high glucose in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from matched type 1 diabetic individuals with and without retinopathy. Those genes exhibiting the largest difference in glucose response between diabetic subjects with and without retinopathy were assessed for association to diabetic retinopathy utilizing genotype data from a meta-genome-wide association study. All genetic variants associated with gene expression (expression QTLs; eQTLs) of the glucose response genes were tested for association with diabetic retinopathy. We detected an enrichment of the glucose response gene eQTLs among small association p-values for diabetic retinopathy. Among these, we identified FLCN as a susceptibility gene for diabetic retinopathy. Expression of FLCN in response to glucose is greater in individuals with diabetic retinopathy compared to diabetic individuals without retinopathy. Three large, independent cohorts of diabetic individuals revealed an enhanced association of FLCN eQTL to diabetic retinopathy. Mendelian randomization confirmed a direct positive effect of increased FLCN expression on retinopathy in diabetic individuals. Together, our studies integrating genetic association and gene expression implicate FLCN as a disease gene in diabetic retinopathy.

EGAS00001000620-sc-20160615 - samples

Project description:The aim of this project is to identify rare genetic variants of large effect implicated in complex diseases by focusing on the study of cardiovascular diseases and related quantitative traits in a well characterized isolated population in Cilento area, Italy. The reference panel has been selected carefully in order to maximize the imputation coverage and quality on the all population samples. The selected individuals should meet three criteria: selected individuals should be chip-genotyped and closely related to the maximum number of chip-genotyped individuals so as to maximize imputation coverage; relatedness between selected individuals should be minimal, so as to minimize redundancy in genetic information of the reference panel. We perform exome sequencing on samples from 250 individuals from the Campora and Gioi-Cardile populations.

Transcriptomic Genes Identified in Familial Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Project description:Background and Aims: Evidence for a genetic contribution to eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) exists from family and genome-wide association studies. Extensive investigation into rare variants contributing to EoE has not been performed. The Aim is to evaluate families with multiple cases of EoE by genomic and transcriptomic sequencing to identify genes predisposing to EoE. Methods: We whole exome sequenced (WES) distant relative pairs (e.g., cousins) in extended EoE pedigrees and other affected relatives to identify rare, shared, potentially pathologic variants. Whole-transcriptome sequencing by RNA-Seq was performed in nuclear families with multiple EoE cases. We compared the overlap of genes from DNA and RNA sequencing for relevance to disease manifestations. Results: WES was performed in 50 familial cases in 21 EoE extended pedigrees. We observed 219 rare, candidate predisposition variants in 210 genes with complete sharing among all affected family members. Transcriptome sequencing was performed for 43 EoE cases in 18 nuclear kindreds, including 6 relatives without EoE. We observed 10,070 total differentially expressed genes compared to controls. We identified three genes (MUC16, ADGRE1, and TENM3) with evidence of rare variant sharing and differential gene expression among all affected family members. We identified 43 other genes with partial sharing of rare variants among affected family members and with differential gene expression. Several genes identified as prominent in EoE were also differentially expressed in unaffected relatives. Conclusions: Multiple genes related to immune response, barrier dysfunction, and cell adhesion were identified in familial EoE cases and unaffected family members supporting a genetic familial predisposition and a possible multi-hit background to disease pathophysiology.

Unbiased undepleted malignant pleural effusion proteomics study

Project description:Pleural effusion (PE) occurs as a consequence of various pathologies. Malignant effusion due to lung cancer is one of the most frequent causes. Methods for accurate differentiation of malignant from benign PE cases are an unmet clinical need. Proteomics profiling of PE has shown promising results. However, mass spectrometry (MS) analysis typically involves the tedious elimination of abundant proteins before analysis, and clinical annotation of proteomics profiled cohorts is limited. In this study, PE from 97 patients was investigated by applying label-free state-of-the-art liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to find potential novel biomarkers that correlate with immunohistochemistry assessment of tumor biopsy or survival data. The data set consists of 214 LC-MS runs.

Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Atypical Werner Syndrome

Project description:Werner syndrome (WS) is an adult-onset progeroid syndrome characterized by accelerated aging. The International Registry of Werner Syndrome in the Department of Pathology, University of Washington, collects WS cases from all over the world. Classical WS is caused by WRN mutations. Those who do not carry WRN are categorized as "atypical Werner syndrome." A small subset of atypical WS is caused by LMNA mutations. There also are many cases whose causes are still unknown. The purpose of this study is to identify other causative gene(s) of atypical WS.

Gene expression changes associated with malignant transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders

Project description:A large number of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) are believed to be preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) that have an increased likelihood of malignant transformation compared to clinically normal mucosa. This study was performed to identify differentially expressed genes between OPMDs that underwent malignant transformation (MT) and those that did not, termed ‘non-transforming’ (NT) cases. Total RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue biopsies of 20 OPMD cases with known clinical outcomes (10 MT vs. 10 NT). Samples were assessed for quantity, quality and integrity of RNA prior to sequencing. Analysis for differential gene expression between MT and NT was performed using statistical packages in R. Genes were considered to be significantly differentially expressed if the False Discovery Rate corrected p-value was < 0.05. RNA yield was variable but RNA purity was good (A260/A280 >1.90). Analysis of RNA-Sequencing outputs revealed 41 genes (34 protein-coding; 7 non-coding) that were significantly differentially expressed between MT and NT cases. The log2 fold change for the statistically significant differentially expressed genes ranged from -2.63 to 2.48, with 23 protein-coding genes being downregulated and 11 protein-coding genes being upregulated in MT cases compared to NT cases. Several candidate genes that may play a role in malignant transformation of OPMD have been identified. Experiments to validate these candidates are underway. It is anticipated that this work will contribute to better understanding of the aetiopathogenesis of OPMD and development of novel biomarkers.
