Project description:In a study to elucidate the genetic defects in patients with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) we performed X chromosome-specific BAC-array-CGH and identified a 0.33 Mb inherited recurrent copy number gain at Xq28 in affected males of four unrelated XLMR families. All aberrations segregate with the disease in the families and the carrier mothers show a nonrandom X-inactivation. Tiling Xq28 region-specific oligo-array revealed that all aberrations start at the same position (153.218 Mb) and end between 153.530 and 154.542 Mb. The copy number gain is complex in nature but always included 18 genes of which three, RPL10, ATP6AP1 and GDI1, are highly expressed in brain. From these, the copy number of GDI1 correlated with the severity of clinical features since it was duplicated in one family with nonsyndromic moderate MR, triplicated in males from two families with mild MR and additional features, while in a fourth family with a severe syndromic form of MR, it was present in four copies. Moreover, expression analysis revealed copy number-dependent increased mRNA levels in affected patients compared to control individuals. Interestingly, the breakpoint junction regions suggested a yet unknown recombination mechanism between two adjacent but different sets of low copy repeats. For duplication mapping and exact copy number analysis in all four families, differentially-labeled patient versus male control DNA samples were hybridized onto a custom designed 4x44k oligo-array (Agilent Technologies) that covers the repeat-masked region 152.70 Mb to 153.65 Mb at tiling resolution.

Project description:In a study to elucidate the genetic defects in patients with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) we performed X chromosome-specific BAC-array-CGH and identified 0.33 to 1.0 Mb nonrecurrent copy number gains at Xp11.22 in affected males of unrelated XLID families. All aberrations segregate with the disease in the families and the carrier mothers show a nonrandom X-inactivation. Affected males suffered from mild to moderate ID. Tiling Xp11.22 region-specific oligo-array (ChrX:52.50 - 54.50 Mb) revealed that all aberrations had different start and stop sites. The twofold copy number gain included up to 20 genes but only the HUWE1 gene is located in the minimal common region of overlap in these families. Moreover, expression analysis revealed about twofold increased HUWE1 mRNA levels in affected patients when compared to control individuals. Breakpoint analysis revealed Non-homologous end-joining (4 cases), serial replication slippage (1 case) and non-allelic homologous recmbination (one case) as the potential recombination mechanism. For duplication mapping and exact copy number analysis in all four families, differentially-labeled patient versus male control DNA samples were hybridized onto a custom designed 4x44k oligo-array (Agilent Technologies) that covers the repeat-masked region 52.50 Mb to 54.50 Mb at tiling resolution.

Project description:The cause of mental retardation in one-third to one-half of all affected individuals is unknown. Microscopically-detectable chromosomal abnormalities are the most frequent recognized cause, but gain or loss of chromosomal segments that are too small to be seen by conventional cytogenetic analysis has been found to be another important cause. Array-based methods offer a practical means of performing a high-resolution survey of the entire genome for submicroscopic copy number variants. We studied 100 children with idiopathic mental retardation and their parents using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay and found de novo duplications as small as 1.1 Mb in three cases, de novo deletions as small as 178 kb in eight cases, and unsuspected mosaic trisomy 9 in another case. This technology can detect at least twice as many potentially pathogenic de novo copy number variants as conventional cytogenetic analysis in people with mental retardation. Experiment Overall Design: Using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay we studied 100 trios that each included one child with idiopathic mental retardation (MR) and both of his/her unaffected biological parents. We also tested 10 unaffected siblings of the MR children from 10 of the above families. In addition, we analyzed 7 trios (child and both unaffected biological parents) as positive controls with previously identified chromosomal aberrations. Experiment Overall Design: Within each sample ID the four digit number refers to a family. Following this four digit family number, 'c' indicates child with MR, 'm' means unaffected mother, 'f' means unaffected father and 's' means unaffected sibling.

Project description:Autism and mental retardation (MR) are often associated, suggesting that these conditions are etiologically related. Recently, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) has identified submicroscopic deletions and duplications as a common cause of MR. This prompted us to search for such genomic imbalances in autism and related disorders. Here we describe a 1.5 Mb duplication on chromosome 16p13.1, found in four autistic male patients from three families and several variably affected and unaffected relatives. A deletion of the same interval was identified in three unrelated patients with MR and other clinical abnormalities. Duplications and deletions of this interval have not been described before, neither as copy number variants in the Database of Genomic Variants nor in >600 individuals from other cohorts examined by high resolution array CGH in our laboratory. Thus, this is the first description of a recurrent genomic imbalance predisposing to autism and/or MR. Keywords: array CGH

Project description:Mental retardation (MR) is a non-progressive cognitive impairment affecting 2 to 3% of the Western population. So far, point mutations and subtle deletions and insertions have been shown to represent only a proportion (<40%) of genetic causes underlying X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). We have screened a subset of 300 presumable X-linked families by X chromosome-specific array-CGH and identified 6 families with overlapping microduplications at Xp11.22 containing two candidate genes; both of which showed overexpression in the affected individuals. Array-CGH data revealed aberrant Cy5/Cy3 log2 ratios for different but overlapping sets of clones indicating varying sizes of these duplications in the different families. X chromosome-specific array-CGH performed for probands of families A, FAM3, B, MRX17, C, MRX31, and D, A057, revealing the duplications at Xp11.22. DNA from two unrelated MR patients were differentially labeled and co-hybridized onto the X-array. The patients with duplications were hybridized in Cy5 against unrelated MR patients, named Pat XY1-6, in the Cy3 channel.

Project description:Cerebral palsy (CP) represents a group of non-progressive clinically heterogeneous disorders that are characterized by motor impairment and early age-of-onset, frequently accompanied by co-morbidities. The cause of CP has historically been attributed to environmental stressors resulting in brain damage. While genetic risk factors are also implicated, guidelines for diagnostic assessment of CP do not recommend for routine genetic testing. Given numerous reports of etiologic copy number variations (CNVs) in other neurodevelopmental disorders, we used microarrays to genotype a population-based prospective cohort of children with CP and their parents. Here we identify de novo CNVs in 8/115 (7.0%) CP patients (~1% rate in controls). In four children, large chromosomal abnormalities deemed pathogenic were found, and they were significantly more likely to have severe neuro-motor impairments than those CP subjects without such alterations. Overall the CNV data would have impacted our diagnosis or classification of CP in 11/115 (9.6%) families.

Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variations Detected in Cerebral Palsy. Nature Communications, 2015. Following our rigorous quality control procedure, we successfully genotyped 147 proband samples from individuals with cerebral palsy (81 males and 66 females) and 282 samples obtained from parents (134 males and 148 females). This facilitated the identification of de novo and rare inherited copy number variations of clinical interest.

Project description:Fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC) is a rare, poorly studied and aggressive cancer, associated with poor survival. Since tumorigenesis is related to acquisition of genetic changes, we used genome-wide array CGH to analyze copy number aberrations occurring in FTC in order to obtain a better understanding of FTC carcinogenesis and to identify prognostic events and targets for therapy. We used arrays of 2464 genomic clones, providing ~1.4 Mb resolution across the genome to quantitatively map genomic DNA copy number aberrations from fourteen FTC onto the human genome sequence. All tumors showed a high frequency of copy number aberrations with recurrent gains on 3q, 6p, 7q, 8q, 12p, 17q, 19 and 20q, and losses involving chromosomes 4, 5q, 8p, 16q, 17p, 18q and X. Recurrent regions of amplification included 1p34, 8p11-q11, 8q24, 12p, 17p13, 17q12-q21, 19p13, 19q12-q13 and 19q13. Candidate, known oncogenes mapping to these amplicons included CMYC (8q24), CCNE1 (19q12-q21) and AKT2 (19q13), whereas PIK3CA and KRAS, previously suggested to be candidate driver genes for amplification mapped outside copy number maxima on 3q and 12p, respectively. The FTC were remarkably homogeneous, with some recurrent aberrations occurring in more than 70% of samples, which suggests a stereotyped pattern of tumor evolution.

Project description:Background: The global effect of copy number and epigenetic alterations on miRNA expression in cancer is poorly understood. In the present study, we integrate genome-wide copy number, DNA methylation and miRNA expression and identify genetic mechanisms underlying miRNA dysregulation in breast cancer. Results: We identify 70 miRNAs whose expression was associated with aberrations in copy number or methylation, or both. Among these, five miRNA families are represented. Interestingly, the members of these families are encoded on different chromosomes and are complementarily altered by gain or hypomethylation across the patients. In an independent breast cancer cohort of 123 patients, 41 of the 70 miRNAs were confirmed with respect to aberration pattern and association to expression. In vitro functional experiments were performed in breast cancer cell lines with miRNA mimics to evaluate the phenotype of the replicated miRNAs. let-7e-3p, which in tumors is found associated with hypermethylation, is shown to induce apoptosis and reduce cell viability, and low let-7e-3p expression is associated with poorer prognosis. The overexpression of three other miRNAs associated with copy number gain, miR-21-3p, miR-148b-3p and miR-151a-5p, increases proliferation of breast cancer cell lines. In addition, miR-151a-5p enhances the levels of phosphorylated AKT protein. Conclusions: Our data provide novel evidence of the mechanisms behind miRNA dysregulation in breast cancer. The study contributes to the understanding of how methylation and copy number aberrations influence miRNA expression, emphasizing miRNA functionality through redundant encoding, and suggests novel miRNAs important in breast cancer.
