Genetic diagnostic yields of 354 Chinese ASD children with rare mutations by a pipeline of genomic tests

Yue Zhang, Ying Li, Ruolan Guo, Wenjian Xu, Xuanshi Liu, Chunlin Zhao, Qi Guo, Wenshan Xu, Xin Ni, Chanjuan Hao, Yonghua Cui, Wei Li

Summary: This study aims to establish an effective genomic diagnosis pipeline for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to investigate its genetic etiology and intervention. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNAseq) were performed on 354 ASD patients, and pathogenic/likely pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) and single nucleotide variations (SNVs) were detected. The rare mutations of CNVs and SNVs account for a relatively small proportion of ASD children, but are important for early etiological diagnosis and precise management.

Ribosomal DNA Copy Number Variation is Coupled with DNA Methylation Changes at the 45S rDNA Locus

Aleem Razzaq, Yosra Bejaoui, Tanvir Alam, Mohamad Saad, Nady El Hajj

Summary: The analysis of human ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number has been challenging due to its repetitive nature. However, studying rDNA variations is important for understanding its role in human health and disease. In this study, whole-genome bisulphite sequencing was used to quantify rDNA copy number and measure DNA methylation at the 45S rDNA locus. The results showed high inter-individual variation in rDNA copy number, but no significant differences were found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or schizophrenia brains. However, a strong positive correlation between copy number and DNA methylation was observed in multiple tissues, suggesting a possible dosage compensation mechanism.

How does genetic variation modify ND-CNV phenotypes?

Thomas J. Dinneen, Fiana Ni Ghralaigh, Ruth Walsh, Lorna M. Lopez, Louise Gallagher

Summary: Rare copy-number variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, known as ND-CNVs, have incomplete penetrance and heterogeneous carrier phenotypes. Recent research suggests that other hits in the genome may explain the variable expressivity of ND-CNVs. Understanding these other hits could improve clinical diagnostics and therapeutics for ND-CNV carriers.

Summary: This study based on the data from the Australian Autism Biobank found significant differences in genetic scores for ASD and IQ among different groups, with the IQ genetic score being able to predict the IQ of undiagnosed children and parents. Additionally, the genetic score related to chronotype was associated with sleep disturbances in the ASD group.

Summary: This study used single-cell sequencing to predict CNV events in individual sperms of two Holstein bulls and compared the results with bulk-cell sequencing. The results showed that although only some of the single sperm CNVs were validated by trio CNVs, they still had significant associations with chromosomal distribution patterns and segmental duplications.

DNA Methylation of PGC-1α Is Associated With Elevated mtDNA Copy Number and Altered Urinary Metabolites in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Sophia Bam, Erin Buchanan, Caitlyn Mahony, Colleen O'Ryan

Summary: In this study, researchers investigated DNA methylation patterns at key genes involved in mitochondrial homeostasis in South African children with ASD. The results showed differential methylation at these genes, particularly PGC-1α, which was associated with elevated mtDNA copy number and metabolomic evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in ASD. This study highlights the role of DNA methylation in regulating specific pathways involved in mitochondria' biogenesis, fission and fusion contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction in ASD.

Summary: In this study, rare potentially damaging single nucleotide variations (pdSNV) were found to be more common than potentially damaging copy number variations (pdCNV) in ASD patients. The combined yield of potentially damaging variations was substantial at 27%, indicating the importance of high-throughput sequencing in routine clinical workup for ASD.

Summary: The burden of X-linked coding variants in developmental disorders is similar in both males and females, indicating that the 1.4-fold male bias in DDs is not solely explained by X-linked causes. Statistical analysis of large datasets can refine our understanding of the inheritance modes for individual X-linked disorders.

Summary: The introduction of multiplexed exome capture reduces variance and improves CNV detection through the novel mcCNV algorithm. This method, agnostic to prior information, demonstrates a favorable false discovery rate compared to ExomeDepth in simulation studies. The benefits of this approach include not requiring a database of reference samples and not needing prior information about variant prevalence or size.

Dissecting Molecular Genetic Mechanisms of 1q21.1 CNV in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Joy Yoon, Yingwei Mao

Summary: Pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) play a crucial role in neurodevelopmental/neuropsychiatric disorders (NDs), with the 1q21.1 CNVs showing specific associations with different phenotypes. The genetic structure associated with 1q21.1 is strongly linked to neurodevelopmental dysfunctions like cognitive impairment and reduced synaptic plasticity, posing challenges for the discovery of molecular pathways and phenotypic networks. Variations in phenotypic severity, genomic penetrance, and inheritance are also reported.

Summary: Copy number variations (CNVs) are associated with psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and the underlying disease mechanisms for most CNVs are unknown. In this study, a 15q13.3 microdeletion mouse model and patient iPSC-derived neurons were used to investigate the developmental defects caused by the CNV. By targeting the 15q13.3 CNV genetic driver OTUD7A, the study revealed a critical OTUD7A-Ankyrin pathway in neuronal development and dysfunction in the 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome.

Summary: AMOTL1 encodes angiomotin-like protein 1, a protein that regulates cell polarity, adhesion, and migration. Variants in AMOTL1 are associated with orofacial clefting, congenital heart disease, tall stature, auricular anomalies, and gastrointestinal manifestations. The study suggests that missense variants in AMOTL1, particularly in the region affecting amino acids 157-161, define a new orofacial clefting syndrome and highlight the importance of this region in its function.

Decreased left heart flow in fetal lambs causes left heart hypoplasia and pro-fibrotic tissue remodeling

Summary: Low blood flow through the fetal left heart can lead to hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). In this study, mid-gestation fetal lambs were used to create left ventricular inflow obstruction (LVIO) to investigate the effects of decreased left heart flow. The results showed that significant LVIO led to clinical features similar to HLHS, including decreased aortic valve flow, retrograde perfusion, severe left heart hypoplasia, and changes in cellular composition and gene expression consistent with fibrosis and abnormal mesenchymal programs.

I don't need any more unknowns hanging over my head: Views of patients with cancer on variants of uncertain significance and low/moderate risk results from genomic sequencing

Summary: This study aims to explore the patient-reported utility of cancer results from genomic sequencing (GS). Results showed that patients' perceptions of the utility of GS results were dependent on whether they triggered clinical action. Patients who received results without clinical action became hypervigilant and experienced negative effects. Therefore, there is a need to develop practice interventions to support cancer patients undergoing GS.
