Human biallelic deletion involving MAB21L2 regulatory sequences reveals key to structural eye anomalies across species

Project description:Anophthalmia, microphthalmia and coloboma (AMC) comprise a spectrum of developmental eye disorders, accounting for approximately 20% of childhood visual impairment. While non-coding regulatory sequences are increasingly recognised as contributing to disease burden, characterising their impact on gene function and phenotype remains challenging. Furthermore, little is known of the nature and extent of their contribution to AMC phenotypes. We identified two families with variants in or near MAB21L2. The first proband, with microphthalmia and coloboma, had a likely pathogenic missense variant (c.338G>C; p.[Trp113Ser]), segregating within the family. The second individual, presenting with microphthalmia, had an ~113.5kb homozygous deletion 19.38kb upstream of MAB21L2. Modelling the deletion led to transient small lens and coloboma in zebrafish, and microphthalmia and coloboma in Xenopus tropicalis. Conservation analysis identified 15 non-genic conserved elements (CE) within the deleted region, while ChIP-seq data from mouse embryonic stem cells demonstrated one of these (CE14) binds OTX2, a protein with an established role in eye development. Targeted disruption of CE14 in Xenopus tropicalis recapitulated an ocular coloboma phenotype, supporting its role in eye development. Together, our data provides insights into regulatory mechanisms underlying eye development, and highlights the importance of non-coding sequences as a source of genetic diagnoses in AMC.

Biallelic UNC5C variants cause a recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with brain anomalies

Project description:Precise axon guidance is fundamental to neural circuit formation, yet the full spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders arising from disruptions in this process remains undefined. Here, we describe a multi-ethnic cohort of eight patients from five independent families presenting with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by structural brain anomalies, distal limb contractures, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and additional variable features. All affected individuals carry biallelic deleterious variants in UNC5C, a gene encoding a conserved netrin receptor essential for axon guidance and neuronal migration. To investigate the functional consequences of these variants, we performed structural analyses, which indicated that the identified variants disrupt key functional domains, including the immunoglobulin-like (Ig), thrombospondin-1 type repeats (TSP), ZU5, UPA, and death domains. We then introduced disease-associated mutations into conserved residues of the Caenorhabditis elegans unc-5 orthologue using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and assessed phenotypic outcomes in vivo. Cell-type-specific rescue experiments revealed the observed motor defects are primarily neurogenic in origin. Consistent with the clinical features observed in patients, C. elegans carrying the corresponding human mutations exhibited defects in axon guidance, locomotion, and behaviour, supporting disruption of UNC-5–mediated signalling pathways. Together, our findings establish biallelic pathogenic variants in UNC5C as the cause of a previously unrecognized autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with structural brain anomalies and distal limb contractures. Our combined approach of human genetics and in vivo modelling defines a critical role for UNC5C in human neurodevelopment and expands the spectrum of disorders arising from disrupted axon guidance machinery.

A novel biallelic missense variant in the BTB domain of ZBTB24 leads to Immunodeficiency, Centromeric instability and Facial anomalies type 2 syndrome

Project description:ZBTB24 is a member of a protein family that includes a Broad-Complex, Tramtrack, and Bric a Brac (BTB) domain, which functions in protein-protein interactions. ZBTB24, a transcription factor, binds its targets through its C-terminus zinc finger (ZF) domain. Biallelic ZBTB24 mutations lead to the rare autosomal recessive Immunodeficiency, Centromeric instability and Facial anomalies subtype 2 (ICF2) syndrome. The majority of the ICF2 patients have biallelic loss of function alleles. The remaining patients have missense variants in their ZF domain. As a consequence, one of ZBTB24’s targets, CDCA7, the gene responsible for ICF3, is not expressed in ICF2 patient cells. Similar to all subtypes of ICF syndrome, ZBTB24 pathogenic mutations lead to significant DNA hypomethylation throughout the genome. Here we describe a patient with a homozygous variant with unknown significance (VUS), p.Val43Leu, in the BTB domain of ZBTB24. To examine the pathogenicity of this change, we determined DNA methylation levels and patterns in patient blood and lymphoblastoid cells (LCLs). We found significant hypomethylation throughout the patient’s genome, with a methylation pattern identical to that of other ICF2 patients, albeit with less severe hypomethylation. Importantly, the satellite repeats were significantly hypomethylated, a hallmark of ICF syndrome. We found that the p.Val43Leu change significantly reduces the protein’s stability, resulting in very low levels of CDCA7 expression in the patient-derived LCLs. Additionally ,the nuclear pattern of localization of ZBTB24 was disrupted due to this amino acid change. Thus, we demonstrate for the first time that biallelic missense variants in the BTB domain of ZBTB24, can disrupt the normal functionality of the protein and lead to ICF2 syndrome.

Whole eye proteomic analysis of bbs1 zebrafish mutants

Project description:Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy characterized by retinal dystrophy, intellectual disability, polydactyly, obesity and renal anomalies. In photoreceptors (PR), light sensation occurs in outer segments (OSs), which are specialized primary cilia. BBS1, the major BBS gene, is part of a protein complex called “BBSome”, which is involved in intracellular protein transport. However, the precise function of BBS1/BBSome in controlling trafficking of ciliary proteins in PRs remains unclear. We generated a bbs1 knock out zebrafish mutant to investigate the role of Bbs1 and the BBSome in vivo. To detect global changes in the eye proteome and to verify the knock-out of Bbs1, we conducted a whole eyes proteomic investigation.
