Case report: A de novo Non-sense SOX9 mutation (p.Q417*) located in transactivation domain is Responsible for Campomelic Dysplasia

Xingxing Qiao, Liping Wu, Jianjun Tang, Rong Xiang, Liangliang Fan, Hao Huang, Yaqin Chen

Summary: Campomelic dysplasia (CD) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia syndrome characterized by shortness and bowing of lower extremities, often accompanied by XY sex reversal. SOX9 variants and rearrangement involving chromosome 17 are the causes of CD. However, the pathogenesis of SOX9 haploinsufficiency is still insufficiently understood. This study identified a novel SOX9 variant (p.Q417*) in a Chinese family with CD, supporting the role of reduced transactivation of SOX9 in the pathogenicity of CD.

Analysis of Fibroblast Growth Factor 14 (FGF14) structural variants reveals the genetic basis of the early onset nystagmus locus NYS4 and variable ataxia

Fabiola Ceroni, Daniel Osborne, Samuel Clokie, Dorine A. Bax, Emma J. Cassidy, Matt J. Dunn, Christopher M. Harris, Jay E. Self, Nicola K. Ragge

Summary: Nystagmus, a condition characterized by involuntary eye movements, can be caused by sensory eye defects, neurological disorders, or as an isolated condition. This study identified a family with early onset nystagmus and additional neurological features who carried a partial duplication of the FGF14 gene. Through detailed eye movement analysis and whole genome sequencing, researchers discovered genetic variants in the FGF14 gene that contribute to NYS4, expanding the understanding of the range of pathogenic FGF14 variants and highlighting the importance of screening for FGF14 in early onset nystagmus.

Gaps and complex structurally variant loci in phased genome assemblies

David R. Porubsky, Mitchell T. Vollger, William N. Harvey, Allison Rozanski, Peter Ebert, Glenn Hickey, Patrick D. Hasenfeld, Ashley Sanders, Catherine O. Stober, Jan Korbel, Benedict E. Paten, Tobias Marschall, Evan Eichler

Summary: There has been significant progress in phased genome assembly by combining long-read data with parental information or linked-read data. However, the typical phased genome assembly still has over 140 gaps. A detailed analysis of 182 haploid assemblies reveals that the majority of assembly gaps cluster near large and identical repeats, resulting in disrupted protein-coding genes. Misorientations and alignment discontinuities are also identified, highlighting the need for algorithmic development and pangenome representation.

Dudley, Mahmoud Summers, Ming Zhang, Lan T. Ho-Pham, Bich N. H. Tran, Thach S. Tran, Tuan Nguyen, Chetan Bettegowda, Nickolas Papadopoulos, Kenneth W. Kinzlera, Bert Vogelsteina

Summary: The analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma has great potential for early cancer detection. A new method called MethylSaferSeqS allows the evaluation of DNA molecules for changes in sequence, methylation, or copy number, increasing the sensitivity of cancer detection assays. The method involves copying both strands of each DNA-barcoded molecule and separating the original strands from the copied strands to obtain epigenetic and genetic alterations. By applying this method to plasma samples from individuals with different types of cancer, the study successfully detected expected patterns of mutations, copy number alterations, and methylation. MethylSaferSeqS has the potential to address various genetics and epigenetics-related questions.

Integration of 3D genome topology and local chromatin features uncovers enhancers underlying craniofacial-specific cartilage defects

Qiming Chen, Jiewen Dai, Qian Bian

Summary: Aberrations in tissue-specific enhancers are important in developmental defects. In this study, disruption of a noncoding region near the human SOX9 gene was found to cause the Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), which is related to enhancers transiently active in specific cells. The researchers also discovered that the regulation of the Sox9 gene in specific cells is correlated with chromatin contacts, highlighting the importance of lineage-dependent chromatin topology in enhancer usage. By analyzing enhancer signatures and chromatin topology, they identified over 10,000 enhancers that function differently in different cartilages and demonstrated their association with human diseases.

A deep intronic TCTN2 variant activating a cryptic exon predicted by SpliceRover in a patient with Joubert syndrome

Takuya Hiraide, Kenji Shimizu, Yoshinori Okumura, Sachiko Miyamoto, Mitsuko Nakashima, Tsutomu Ogata, Hirotomo Saitsu

Summary: The recent use of genome sequencing in genetic analysis has led to the discovery of pathogenic variants located deep within introns. In this study, a Japanese boy with Joubert syndrome was found to have biallelic TCTN2 variants. Exome sequencing identified one variant, and subsequent genome sequencing found a deep intronic variant. Machine learning algorithms were unable to predict the effect of the intronic variant on splicing, but the tool SpliceRover was successful in detecting a cryptic exon. Further RNA sequencing confirmed the presence of the cryptic exon. The patient exhibited typical symptoms of TCTN2-related disorders along with some uncommon features. These findings highlight the usefulness of genome sequencing and RNA sequencing in molecular diagnosis and suggest the potential of SpliceRover in extracting candidate variants from intronic variants in genome sequencing.
