Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of an amplification-free long-read sequencing method to characterize the Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD)-associated intronic TCF4 triplet repeat (CTG18.1). Methods: We applied an amplification-free method, utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system, in combination with PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) long-read sequencing, to study CTG18.1. FECD patient samples displaying a diverse range of CTG18.1 allele lengths and zygosity status (n = 11) were analyzed. A robust data analysis pipeline was developed to effectively filter, align, and interrogate CTG18.1-specific reads. All results were compared with conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based fragment analysis. Results: CRISPR-guided SMRT sequencing of CTG18.1 provided accurate genotyping information for all samples and phasing was possible for 18/22 alleles sequenced. Repeat length instability was observed for all expanded (>= 50 repeats) phased CTG18.1 alleles analyzed. Furthermore, higher levels of repeat instability were associated with increased CTG18.1 allele length (mode length >= 91 repeats) indicating that expanded alleles behave dynamically. Conclusion: CRISPR-guided SMRT sequencing of CTG18.1 has revealed novel insights into CTG18.1 length instability. Furthermore, this study provides a framework to improve the molecular diagnostic accuracy for CTG18.1-mediated FECD, which we anticipate will become increasingly important as gene-directed therapies are developed for this common age-related and sight threatening disease.

TCF4-mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy: Insights into a common trinucleotide repeat-associated disease

Michael P. Fautsch, Eric D. Wieben, Keith H. Baratz, Nihar Bhattacharyya, Amanda N. Sadan, Nathaniel J. Hafford-Tear, Stephen J. Tuft, Alice E. Davidson

Summary: FECD is a common cause of heritable visual loss in the elderly, with an association to an intronic CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the TCF4 gene. Proposed mechanisms for disease onset include TCF4 dysregulation, toxic gain-of-function from TCF4 repeat-containing RNA, toxic gain-of-function from RAN translation, and somatic instability of CTG18.1, but the relative contribution of each remains unknown.

Summary: The study identified nine pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and one variant of uncertain significance in the CHRDL1 gene, of which eight were novel. Some individuals with MGC1 showed ocular findings such as pigmentary glaucoma, unilateral posterior corneal vesicles, unilateral keratoconus, and unilateral Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis that were not previously associated with the condition. Additionally, some heterozygous female carriers of CHRDL1 pathogenic variants had reduced corneal thickness, indicating a possible mild phenotypic feature.

Seeley, Deborah Costakos, Thomas M. Glaser, Alex Levin, Petra Liskova, Jeffrey C. Murray, Elena Semina

Summary: This study investigated the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the largest reported cohort of individuals with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS). The findings revealed that there are distinct phenotypic differences between ARS subtypes caused by mutations in PITX2 and FOXC1 genes, including variations in ocular and systemic anomalies, age of onset of glaucoma, and associated features such as dental abnormalities and structural anomalies in the digestive system. The expanded phenotype of FOXC1-related ARS was also found to overlap with De Hauwere syndrome. These findings highlight the importance of providing families with a gene-specific diagnosis and management plan for ARS.

MIR204 n.37C>T variant as a cause of chorioretinal dystrophy variably associated with iris coloboma, early-onset cataracts and congenital glaucoma

Jana Jedlickova, Marie Vajter, Tomas Barta, Graeme C. M. Black, Rahat Perveen, Jan Mares, Marek Fichtl, Bohdan Kousal, Lubica Dudakova, Petra Liskova

Summary: Four members of a three-generation Czech family were found to carry the n.37C>T variant in MIR204, leading to early-onset chorioretinal dystrophy. This study confirmed the existence of a distinct clinical entity caused by this genetic mutation. Chorioretinal dystrophy was found to be associated with iris coloboma, congenital glaucoma, and premature cataracts, expanding the phenotypic range. In silico analysis of the variant revealed 713 new targets. Additionally, albinism caused by biallelic pathogenic OCA2 variants was observed in four family members. Haplotype analysis ruled out relatedness with the original family reported to have the n.37C>T variant in MIR204. The identification of a second independent family further confirms the existence of a distinct MIR204-associated clinical entity and suggests a potential involvement of congenital glaucoma in the phenotype.

Preparing for the unexpected: Recommendations for returning secondary findings in late-stage cancer care

Madeline Currey, Ilana Solomon, Sarah Mcgraw, Jenny Shen, Francisco Munoz, Ernesto Sosa, Vanessa Puello-Lozano, Sam Wing, Lisa Lopez, Michelle Afkhami, Janine Lobello, Szabolcs Szelinger, Stacy W. Gray

Summary: This study conducted qualitative interviews with cancer patients and providers to identify gaps in clinical care and propose care delivery solutions for the return of secondary germline findings. The responses of patients varied depending on the amount of pre-test counseling they received, and providers identified insufficient clinic time as a major barrier to pretest education. Online support tools and standardized pre-test education models were favored by providers. There were differing perspectives on how pre-test education should be integrated into clinical workflows, but agreement on the inclusion of differences between somatic and germline testing, likelihood of medically actionable findings, and the possibility of being referred to a genetics provider.
