Congenital hearing impairment (HI) affects one in 1,000 newborns and has a genetic cause in 50?% of the cases. Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment is responsible for 70–80?% of all hereditary cases of HI. Recently, it has been demonstrated that, mutations of LRTOMT are associated with profound nonsyndromic hearing impairment at the DFNB63 locus. The objective of this study is to evaluate the carrier frequency of c.242G>A mutation in LRTOMT gene and define the contribution of this gene in the etiology of deafness in Moroccan population. We screened 105 unrelated Moroccan families with non-syndromic HI and 120 control individuals for mutation in the exon 8 of the LRTOMT gene, by sequencing and PCR-RFLP. The Homozygous c.242G>A mutation was found in 8.75?% of the families tested and in 4.16?% of control in the heterozygous state. Our results show that after the GJB2 gene mutation in LRTOMT gene is the second cause of congenital hearing impairment in Moroccan patients. This finding should facilitate diagnosis of congenital deafness of the affected subjects in Morocco. 相似文献

Single base substitutions in DNA mismatch repair genes which are predicted to lead either to missense or silent mutations,
or to intronic variants outside the highly conserved splicing region are often found in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal
cancer (HNPCC) families. In order to use the variants for predictive testing in persons at risk, their pathogenicity has to
be evaluated. There is growing evidence that some substitutions have a detrimental influence on splicing. We examined 19 unclassified
variants (UVs) detected in MSH2 or MLH1 genes in patients suspected of HNPCC for expression at RNA level. We demonstrate that 10 of the 19 UVs analyzed affect splicing.
For example, the substitution MLH1,c.2103G>C in the last position of exon 18 does not result in a missense mutation as theoretically predicted (p.Gln701His),
but leads to a complete loss of exon 18. The substitution MLH1,c.1038G>C (predicted effect p.Gln346His) leads to complete inactivation of the mutant allele by skipping of exons 10 and
11, and by activation of a cryptic intronic splice site. Similarly, the intronic variant MLH1,c.306+2dupT results in loss of exon 3 and a frameshift mutation due to a new splice donor site 5 bp upstream. Furthermore,
we confirmed complete exon skipping for the mutations MLH1,c.1731G>A and MLH1,c.677G>A. Partial exon skipping was demonstrated for the mutations MSH2,c.1275A>G, MLH1,c.588+5G>A, MLH1,c.790+4A>G and MLH1,c.1984A>C. In contrast, five missense mutations (MSH2,c.4G>A, MSH2,c.2123T>A, MLH1,c.464T>G, MLH1,c.875T>C and MLH1,c.2210A>T) were found in similar proportions in the mRNA as in the genomic DNA. We conclude that the mRNA examination should
precede functional tests at protein level.

Background
Nonsyndromic enlargement of vestibular aqueduct (NSEVA) is an autosomal recessive hearing loss disorder that is associated with mutations in SLC26A4. However, not all patients with NSEVA carry biallelic mutations in SLC26A4. A recent study proposed that single mutations in both SLC26A4 and KCNJ10 lead to digenic NSEVA. We examined whether KCNJ10 excert a role in the pathogenesis of NSEVA in Chinese patients.Methods
SLC26A4 was sequenced in 1056 Chinese patients with NSEVA. KCNJ10 was screened in 131 patients who lacked mutations in either one or both alleles of SLC26A4. Additionally, KCNJ10 was screened in 840 controls, including 563 patients diagnosed with NSEVA who carried biallelic SLC26A4 mutations, 48 patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss due to inner ear malformations that did not involve enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA), 96 patients with conductive hearing loss due to various causes, and 133 normal-hearing individuals with no family history of hereditary hearing loss.Results
925 NSEVA patients were found carrying two-allele pathogenic SLC26A4 mutations. The most frequently detected KCNJ10 mutation was c.812G>A (p.R271H). Compared with the normal-hearing control subjects, the occurrence rate of c.812G>A in NSEVA patients with lacking mutations in one or both alleles of SLC26A4 had no significant difference(1.53% vs. 5.30%, χ2 = 2.798, p = 0.172), which suggested that it is probably a nonpathogenic benign variant. KCNJ10 c.1042C>T (p.R348C), the reported EVA-related mutation, was not found in patients with NSEVA who lacked mutations in either one or both alleles of SLC26A4. Furthermore, the normal-hearing parents of patients with NSEVA having two SLC26A4 mutations carried the KCNJ10 c.1042C>T or c.812G>A mutation and a SLC26A4 pathogenic mutation.Conclusion
SLC26A4 is the major genetic cause in Chinese NSEVA patients, accounting for 87.59%. KCNJ10 may not be a contributor to NSEVA in Chinese population. Other genetic or environmental factors are possibly play a role in the etiology of Chinese EVA patients with zero or monoallelic SLC26A4 mutation. 相似文献5.

The EYA1 gene is known as the causative gene of BOR (Branchio-oto-renal) syndrome which is a genetic disorder associated with branchial cleft cysts of fistulae, hearing loss, ear malformation, and renal anomalies. Although approximately 40 % of patients with BOR syndrome have mutations in the EYA1 gene and over 130 disease-causing mutations in EYA1 have been reported in various populations, only a few mutations have been reported in Korean families. In this study, genetic analysis of the EYA1 gene was performed in a Korean patient diagnosed with BOR syndrome and his parents. A de novo novel missense mutation, c.418G>A, located at the end of exon 6, changed glycine to serine at amino acid position 140 (p.G140S) and was suspected to affect normal splicing. Our in vitro splicing assay demonstrated that this mutation causes exon 6 skipping leading to frameshift and truncation of the protein to result in the loss of eyaHR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report revealing that a missense mutation in the exon disturbs normal splicing as a result of a substitution of the last nucleotide of an exon in EYA1. 相似文献

Two novel mutations in the glucokinase gene (GCK) have been identified in patients with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type-2 (MODY2), i.e., a C-for-G substitution at position ?1 of the acceptor splice site of intron 7 (c. 864-1G>C) and a synonymous c.666C>G substitution (GTC>GTG, p.V222V) at exon 6. An analysis of the splicing products obtained upon the transfection of human embryonic HEK293 cells with GCK minigene constructs carrying these mutations showed that both substitutions impaired normal splicing. As a result of c.864-1G>C, the usage of the normal acceptor site was blocked, which activated cryptic acceptor splice sites within intron 7 and generated several aberrant RNAs containing fragments of intron 7. The synonymous substitution c.666C>G created a novel donor splice site in exon 6, which results in the formation of an abnormal GCK mRNA with a 16-nucleotide deletion in exon 6. In vitro experiments on minigene splicing confirmed the inactivating effect of these mutations on glucokinase gene expression. 相似文献

Mutations of the TECTA gene, which encodes alpha-tectorin, are associated with both dominant (DFNA8/A12) and recessive (DFNB 21) modes of inherited nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, respectively. Although clinical data and genetic analysis for TECTA gene have been reported from different groups, there is no report that compound heterozygous mutations in the TECTA gene result in nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Here, we identified a missense mutation (p.C1691F) and a splicing mutation (c.6162 + 3insT), one in each TECTA allele, in the patient with hearing loss. Also, we demonstrated that the splicing mutation results in the abnormal skipping of an exon, which leads to a truncated protein as determined by exon-trapping analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an in vitro functional study of splice site mutations in the TECTA gene. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common human monogenic disorder and is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes. Most patients with the disease present mutations in PKD1, and a considerable number of these alterations are single base substitutions within the coding sequence that are usually predicted to lead to missense or synonymous mutations. There is growing evidence that some of these mutations can be detrimental by affecting the pre-mRNA splicing process. The aim of our study was to test PKD1 mutations, described as missense or synonymous in the literature or databases, for their effects on exon inclusion. Bioinformatics tools were used to select mutations with a potential effect on pre-mRNA splicing. Mutations were experimentally tested using minigene assays. Exons and adjacent intronic sequences were PCR-amplified and cloned in the splicing reporter minigene, and selected mutations were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. Minigenes were transfected into kidney derived cell lines. RNA from cultured cells was analyzed by RT-PCR and DNA sequencing. Analysis of thirty-three PKD1 exonic mutations revealed three mutations that induce splicing defects. The substitution c.11156G > A, previously predicted as missense mutation p.R3719Q, abolished the donor splice site of intron 38 and resulted in the incorporation of exon 38 with 117 bp of intron 38 and skipping of exon 39. Two synonymous variants, c.327A > T (p.G109G) and c.11257C > A (p.R3753R), generated strong donor splice sites within exons 3 and 39 respectively, resulting in incorporation of incomplete exons. These three nucleotide substitutions represent the first PKD1 exonic mutations that induce aberrant mRNAs. Our results strengthen the importance to evaluate the consequences of presumed missense and synonymous mutations at the mRNA level. 相似文献

Type II citrullinaemia, also known as citrin deficiency, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, which is caused by pathogenic mutations in the SLC25A13 gene on chromosome 7q21.3. One of the clinical manifestations of type II citrullinaemia is neonatal intrahepatic cholestatic hepatitis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD, OMIM# 605814). In this study, a 5-month-old female Chinese neonate diagnosed with type II citrullinaemia was examined. The diagnosis was based on biochemical and clinical findings, including organic acid profiling using a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and the patient's parents were unaffected. Approximately 14 kb of the exon sequences of the SLC25A13 and two relative genes (ASS1 and FAH) from the proband and 100 case-unrelated controls were captured by array-based capture method followed by high-throughput next-generation sequencing. Two single-nucleotide mutations were detected in the proband, including the previous reported c.1177+1G>A mutation and a novel c.754G>A mutation in the SLC25A13 gene. Sanger sequence results showed that the patient was a compound heterozygote for the two mutations. The novel mutation (c.754G>A), which is predicted to affect the normal structure and function of citrin, is a candidate pathogenic mutation. Target sequence capture combined with high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies is proven to be an effective method for molecular genetic testing of type II citrullinaemia. 相似文献

Mutations in SLC26A4 cause either syndromic or nonsyndromic hearing loss. We identified a link between hearing loss and DFNB4 in 3 of the 50 families participating in this study. Sequencing analysis revealed two SLC26A4 mutations, p.V239D and p.S57X, in affected members of the 3 families. These mutations have been previously reported in deaf individuals from the subcontinent, all of whom manifested profound deafness. The patients investigated in our study exhibited moderate to severe hearing loss. Our results show that inactivating SLC26A4 mutations that cause profound deafness can also be involved in the etiology of moderate to severe hearing loss. The type of mutation cannot predict the severity of the hearing loss in all cases, and there may be additional epistatic interactions that could modify the phenotype. 相似文献

Variants in the head and tail domains of the MYO7A gene, encoding myosin VIIA, cause Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) and nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB2, DFNA11). In order to identify the genetic defect(s) underling profound deafness in two consanguineous Arab families living in UAE, we have sequenced a panel of 19 genes involved in Usher syndrome and nonsyndromic deafness in the index cases of the two families. This analysis revealed a novel homozygous insertion of AG (c.1952_1953insAG/p.C652fsX11) in exon 17 of the MYO7A gene in an Iraqi family, and a homozygous point mutation (c.5660C>T/p.P1887L) in exon 41 affecting the same gene in a large Palestinian family. Moreover, some individuals from the Palestinian family also harbored a novel heterozygous truncating variant (c.1267C>T/p.R423X) in the DFNB31 gene, which is involved in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness type DFNB31 and Usher syndrome type II. Assuming an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance in the two inbred families, we conclude that the homozygous variants in the MYO7A gene are the disease-causing mutations in these families. Furthermore, given the absence of retinal disease in all affected patients examined, particularly a 28 year old patient, suggests that at least one family may segregate a DFNB2 presentation rather than USH1B. This finding further supports the premise that the MYO7A gene is responsible for two distinct diseases and gives evidence that the p.P1887L mutation in a homozygous state may be responsible for nonsyndromic hearing loss. 相似文献

Results of molecular genetic testing in Russian patients with Pendred syndrome and allelic disorders
O. L. Mironovich E. A. Bliznetz T. G. Markova E. N. Geptner M. R. Lalayants E. I. Zelikovich G. A. Tavartkiladze A. V. Polyakov 《Russian Journal of Genetics》2017,53(1):128-138
Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by a combination of sensorineural hearing impairment and euthyroid goiter; its clinical manifestation in children is hardly distinguishable from nonsyndromic hearing loss. Pendred syndrome is one of the most frequent types of syndromic hearing loss. Hearing impairment is accompanied by abnormal development of the bony labyrinth—enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) and occasionally combined with Mondini dysplasia. Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene, which encodes the pendrin protein, are responsible for both Pendred syndrome and for allelic disorder (nonsyndromic enlarged vestibular aqueduct). The present study for the first time conducted molecular genetic analysis in 20 Russian patients with Pendred syndrome, EVA and/or Mondini dysplasia. As a result, six pathogenic mutations in the SLC26A4 gene were revealed in four patients. The mutation c.222G>T (p.Trp74Cys) was detected for the first time. Mutations were found in patients with Pendred syndrome and nonsyndromic EVA with or without Mondini dysplasia. Mutations were not detected in patients with isolated Mondini dysplasia. One proband with clinical diagnosis Pendred syndrome was homozygous for the c.35delG mutation in the GJB2 gene. The absence of frequent mutations, including well-known ones or “hot” exons in the SLC26A4 gene, was reported. Therefore, the optimal method to search for mutations in the SLC26A4 gene in Russian patients is Sanger sequencing of all exons and exon-intron boundaries in the SLC26A4 gene. 相似文献

Background
Mutations in OTOF and PJVK genes cause DFNB9 and DFNB59 types of hearing loss, respectively. The patients carrying pathogenic mutations in either of these genes may show the typical phenotype of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). The aim of the present study was to identify OTOF and PJVK mutations in sporadic ANSD patients.Methods and Findings
A total of 76 unrelated Chinese non-syndromic ANSD patients were sequenced on the gene OTOF and PJVK exon by exon. Variants were valued in 105 controls with normal hearing to verify the carrying rate. We identified one pathogenic mutation (c.1194T>A) and three novel, possibly pathogenic, variants (c.3570+2T>C, c.4023+1 G>A, and c.1102G>A) in the OTOF gene, and one novel, possibly pathogenic, variant (c.548G>A) in PJVK. Moreover, we found three novel missense mutations within the exons of OTOF.Conclusions
As we identified 4 and 1 possible pathogenic variants of the OTOF gene and the PJVK gene, respectively, we believe that screening in these genes are important in sporadic ANSD patients. The pathogenicity of these novel mutations needs further study because of their single heterozygous nature. Knowledge on the mutation spectra of these genes in Chinese would be beneficial in understanding the genetic character of this worldwide disease. 相似文献18.

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial enzyme acting in the catabolism of the widely used antineoplastic agent 5-fluorouracil (5FU). DPD deficiency is known to cause a potentially lethal toxicity following administration of 5FU. Here, we report novel genetic mechanisms underlying DPD deficiency in patients presenting with grade III/IV 5FU-associated toxicity. In one patient a genomic DPYD deletion of exons 21–23 was observed. In five patients a deep intronic mutation c.1129–5923C>G was identified creating a cryptic splice donor site. As a consequence, a 44 bp fragment corresponding to nucleotides c.1129–5967 to c.1129–5924 of intron 10 was inserted in the mature DPD mRNA. The deleterious c.1129–5923C>G mutation proved to be in cis with three intronic polymorphisms (c.483 + 18G>A, c.959–51T>G, c.680 + 139G>A) and the synonymous mutation c.1236G>A of a previously identified haplotype. Retrospective analysis of 203 cancer patients showed that the c.1129–5923C>G mutation was significantly enriched in patients with severe 5FU-associated toxicity (9.1%) compared to patients without toxicity (2.2%). In addition, a high prevalence was observed for the c.1129–5923C>G mutation in the normal Dutch (2.6%) and German (3.3%) population. Our study demonstrates that a genomic deletion affecting DPYD and a deep intronic mutation affecting pre-mRNA splicing can cause severe 5FU-associated toxicity. We conclude that screening for DPD deficiency should include a search for genomic rearrangements and aberrant splicing. 相似文献

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders with motile cilia dysfunction. It is clinically characterized by oto-sino-pulmonary diseases and subfertility, and half of the patients have situs inversus (Kartagener syndrome). To identify the genetic cause in a Han-Chinese pedigree, whole-exome sequencing was conducted in the 37-year-old proband, and then, Sanger sequencing was performed on available family members. Minigene splicing assay was applied to verify the impact of the splice-site variant. Compound heterozygous variants including a splice-site variant (c.1974-1G>C, rs1359107415) and a missense variant (c.7787G>A, p.(Arg2596Gln), rs780492669), in the dynein axonemal heavy chain 11 gene (DNAH11) were identified and confirmed as the disease-associated variants of this lineage. The minigene expression in vitro revealed that the c.1974-1G>C variant could cause skipping over exon 12, predicted to result in a truncated protein. This discovery may enlarge the DNAH11 variant spectrum of PCD, promote accurate genetic counselling and contribute to PCD diagnosis. 相似文献

Objective: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by salt wasting and hypokalemia resulting from mutations in the SLC12A3 (solute carrier family 12 member 3) gene, which encodes the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter. To date, more than 488 mutations of the SLC12A3 gene have been discovered in patients with GS. In this study, we reported a GS pedigree complicated by thyroid diseases or thyroid dysfunction.Methods: Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing analysis were performed to determine the SLC12A3 gene mutations in a GS pedigree including the 16-year old male patient with GS and his family members within 3 generations. Chemiluminescence immunoassays were used to detect thyroid hormone and antibody concentrations.Results: Genetic analysis of the SLC12A3 gene identified 2 mutations in the 16-year old male patient with GS concomitant with Graves disease (GD) and his younger sister accompanied by abnormal thyroid function. Additionally, one mutation site (c.1456G>A) in SLC12A3 gene was found in his father, paternal uncle and elder female cousin, who were complicated by subclinical hypothyroidism or autoantibody against thyroid. The other mutation site (c.2102_2107 delACAAGA) in SLC12A3 gene, a novel mutated variant of SLC12A3 gene, was carried by his mother and maternal grandfather.Conclusion: Two mutation sites were documented in the pedigree with GS, and one has not been reported before. Moreover, we found a mutation at nucleotide c.1456 G>A in the SLC12A3 gene that may affect thyroid function. However, further studies are needed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.Abbreviations: FT3 = free triiodothyronine; FT4 = free tetraiodothyronine; GD = Graves disease; GS = Gitelman syndrome; SLC12A3 = solute carrier family 12 member 3; TGAb = thyroglobulin antibody; TPOAb = thyroid peroxidase antibody; TSH = thyroid-stimulating hormone; TT3 = total triiodothyronine; TT4 = total tetraiodothyronine 相似文献
