Combined Histological and Proteomic Analysis Reveals Muscle Denervation in KMT5B-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Case Report

ABSTRACT: Background: Patients with neurodevelopmental and neuromuscular disorders often show overlapping clinical phenotypes. Pathogenic variants in KMT5B, a histone lysine methyltransferase, have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, yet their effects on human skeletal muscle remain unexplored. We report a patient with KMT5B-linked disease who presented to a neuromuscular specialty clinic with significant involvement of skeletal muscle, where a multi-omics approach established the genetic diagnosis and revealed neuromuscular findings relevant for diagnosis, care and rehabilitation. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing was performed from blood and data was analyzed using the RD-Connect Genome Phenome Analysis Platform. Histological analysis and proteomic profiling were performed on muscle tissue. Results: Whole-exome sequencing revealed a pathogenic heterozygous variant (c.554_557del, p.Tyr185Cysfs*27) in KMT5B. Histological examination revealed fiber-type grouping, angular fibers, increased fast-twitch fiber proportion, and lipid droplet accumulation, indicative of muscle denervation. Proteomic profiling identified 77 dysregulated proteins, including upregulation of sarcomeric proteins, mitochondrial and glycolytic enzymes, acute-phase and complement factors, and extracellular matrix components, reflecting structural remodeling, metabolic adaptation, and inflammatory activation. These findings align with phenotypes observed in Kmt5b mouse models, supporting a role of KMT5B in neuromuscular function.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to select genes potentially associated with fiber-type distribution and cell size in porcine muscle tissue. Methods: The histological profile of the longissimus lumborum muscle was establish by method involving detection of NADPH dehydrogenase (diaphorase) and immunohistochemically detection of myosin chains. The muscle transcriptome sequencing was performed for 11 pigs using Illumina HiScan SQ in 50 single-end cycles. The quantifying transcript abundances was made using the RSEM supported by STAR aligner. The raw reads were aligned to the Sus scrofa reference genome (assembly Sscrofa10.2). Differentially expressed genes were detected by edgeR, baySeq and DESeq2. The RNA-seq results were validated using by qPCR. Results: The RNA-seq approach allows to identify 397 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) indicated as significant (FDR<0.05) using three software: DESeq2, edgeR and baySeq. Detected genes and pathways deregulated in muscle depend on tissue microstructure were associated with metabolic processes â?? 158 genes; cellular processes â?? 122; biological regulation â?? 62; localization â?? 51 and 35 genes with developmental processes. The detected DEGs were included in such pathways as: PI3K-Akt; FoxO and MAPK signaling pathways, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, lysine degradation and insulin signaling pathway as well as in mTOR and Hippo signaling. Conclusions: This results highlight the mainly metabolic pathways related with glucose metabolism and contraction processes of muscle cells. The comparison of whole gene expression profiles between muscles characterized by different fiber-type distribution showed that processes of growth and proliferation of different fiber types are determined by diverse molecular mechanism, which conditioned the unique histological structure of muscle tissue. The muscle (longissimus lumborum) transcriptome sequencing was performed for 11 pigs using Illumina HiScan SQ in 50 single-end cycles and in five technical repetitions.
