Abstract

Purpose: In parent-child trios with genome sequencing data, we investigated inherited biallelic deletions to identify known and novel genetic disorders. Methods: We developed a copy-number variations analysis pipeline based on autosomal genome sequencing read depth of Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project data from 11,754 parent-child trios and additional 18,875 non-trios. A control cohort of 15,440 cancer patients provided independent deletion frequencies. Results: Autosomal recessive (AR) modeling detected 34 distinct rare deletions that were homozygous in the proband and heterozygous in both parents. These inherited biallelic deletions were only detected in 52 trios. These “knockout” regions included 37 genes, having among them 8 with an Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man AR annotation. Deletions of NPHP1, followed by OTOA, both within segmental duplications, were the only recurrent findings explaining phenotypes in a total of 10 and 3 patients, respectively. Recurrent heterozygous NPHP1 deletions were detected in 0.3%-0.5% of controls. We reviewed “knockout” patients for the remaining 29 genes without disease associations and identified SLC66A1 as a likely novel cause for AR rod-cone dystrophy in 4 families. Conclusion: A tailored copy-number variations analysis of genome sequencing trio data shows that biallelic inherited gene deletions are rare, with NPHP1 biallelic deletions causing nephronophthisis the leading finding. We propose SLC66A1 as a novel cause for AR retinopathy.

Abstract

To characterize the phenotype observed in a case series with macular disease and determine the cause.Multicenter case series.Six families (7 patients) with sporadic or multiplex macular disease with onset at 20 to 78 years, and 1 patient with age-related macular degeneration.Patients underwent ophthalmic examination; exome, genome, or targeted sequencing; and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the breakpoint, followed by cloning and Sanger sequencing or direct Sanger sequencing.Clinical phenotypes, genomic findings, and a hypothesis explaining the mechanism underlying disease in these patients.All 8 cases carried the same deletion encompassing the genes TPRX1, CRX, and SULT2A1, which was absent from 382 control individuals screened by breakpoint PCR and 13 096 Clinical Genetics patients with a range of other inherited conditions screened by array comparative genomic hybridization. Microsatellite genotypes showed that these 7 families are not closely related, but genotypes immediately adjacent to the deletion breakpoints suggest they may share a distant common ancestor.Previous studies had found that carriers for a single defective CRX allele that was predicted to produce no functional CRX protein had a normal ocular phenotype. Here, we show that CRX whole-gene deletion in fact does cause a dominant late-onset macular disease.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to undertake a multidisciplinary characterization of the phenotype associated with SOX11 variants. Methods: Individuals with protein altering variants in SOX11 were identified through exome and genome sequencing and international data sharing. Deep clinical phenotyping was undertaken by referring clinicians. Blood DNA methylation was assessed using Infinium MethylationEPIC array. The expression pattern of SOX11 in developing human brain was defined using RNAscope. Results: We reported 38 new patients with SOX11 variants. Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism was confirmed as a feature of SOX11 syndrome. A distinctive pattern of blood DNA methylation was identified in SOX11 syndrome, separating SOX11 syndrome from other BAFopathies. Conclusion: SOX11 syndrome is a distinct clinical entity with characteristic clinical features and episignature differentiating it from BAFopathies. (C) 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Repeat expansion disorders affect about 1 in 3000 individuals and are clinically heterogeneous diseases caused by expansions of short tandem DNA repeats. Genetic testing is often locus-specific, resulting in underdiagnosis of people who have atypical clinical presentations, especially in paediatric patients without a previous positive family history. Whole genome sequencing is increasingly used as a first-line test for other rare genetic disorders, and we aimed to assess its performance in the diagnosis of patients with neurological repeat expansion disorders.METHODS: We retrospectively assessed the diagnostic accuracy of whole genome sequencing to detect the most common repeat expansion loci associated with neurological outcomes (AR, ATN1, ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, ATXN7, C9orf72, CACNA1A, DMPK, FMR1, FXN, HTT, and TBP) using samples obtained within the National Health Service in England from patients who were suspected of having neurological disorders; previous PCR test results were used as the reference standard. The clinical accuracy of whole genome sequencing to detect repeat expansions was prospectively examined in previously genetically tested and undiagnosed patients recruited in 2013-17 to the 100 000 Genomes Project in the UK, who were suspected of having a genetic neurological disorder (familial or early-onset forms of ataxia, neuropathy, spastic paraplegia, dementia, motor neuron disease, parkinsonian movement disorders, intellectual disability, or neuromuscular disorders). If a repeat expansion call was made using whole genome sequencing, PCR was used to confirm the result.FINDINGS: The diagnostic accuracy of whole genome sequencing to detect repeat expansions was evaluated against 793 PCR tests previously performed within the NHS from 404 patients. Whole genome sequencing correctly classified 215 of 221 expanded alleles and 1316 of 1321 non-expanded alleles, showing 97·3% sensitivity (95% CI 94·2-99·0) and 99·6% specificity (99·1-99·9) across the 13 disease-associated loci when compared with PCR test results. In samples from 11 631 patients in the 100 000 Genomes Project, whole genome sequencing identified 81 repeat expansions, which were also tested by PCR: 68 were confirmed as repeat expansions in the full pathogenic range, 11 were non-pathogenic intermediate expansions or premutations, and two were non-expanded repeats (16% false discovery rate).INTERPRETATION: In our study, whole genome sequencing for the detection of repeat expansions showed high sensitivity and specificity, and it led to identification of neurological repeat expansion disorders in previously undiagnosed patients. These findings support implementation of whole genome sequencing in clinical laboratories for diagnosis of patients who have a neurological presentation consistent with a repeat expansion disorder.FUNDING: Medical Research Council, Department of Health and Social Care, National Health Service England, National Institute for Health Research, and Illumina.

Abstract

PurposeGenome sequencing (GS) for diagnosis of rare genetic disease is being introduced into the clinic, but the complexity of the data poses challenges for developing pipelines with high diagnostic sensitivity. We evaluated the performance of the Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) panel-based pipelines, using craniosynostosis as a test disease.MethodsGS data from 114 probands with craniosynostosis and their relatives (314 samples), negative on routine genetic testing, were scrutinized by a specialized research team, and diagnoses compared with those made by 100kGP.ResultsSixteen likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants were identified by 100kGP. Eighteen additional likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants were identified by the research team, indicating that for craniosynostosis, 100kGP panels had a diagnostic sensitivity of only 47%. Measures that could have augmented diagnoses were improved calling of existing panel genes (+18% sensitivity), review of updated panels (+12%), comprehensive analysis of de novo small variants (+29%), and copy-number/structural variants (+9%). Recent NHS England recommendations that partially incorporate these measures should achieve 85% overall sensitivity (+38%).ConclusionGS identified likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants in 29.8% of previously undiagnosed patients with craniosynostosis. This demonstrates the value of research analysis and the importance of continually improving algorithms to maximize the potential of clinical GS.

Resnick,32 We examined the role of repeat expansions in the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by analyzing whole-genome sequence data from 2,442 FTD/ALS patients, 2,599 Lewy body dementia (LBD) patients, and 3,158 neurologically healthy subjects. Pathogenic expansions (range, 40?64 CAG repeats) in the huntingtin (HTT) gene were found in three (0.12%) patients diagnosed with pure FTD/ALS syndromes but were not present in the LBD or healthy cohorts. We replicated our findings in an independent collection of 3,674 FTD/ALS patients. Postmortem evaluations of two patients revealed the classical TDP-43 pathology of FTD/ALS, as well as huntingtin-positive, ubiquitin-positive aggregates in the frontal cortex. The neostriatal atrophy that pathologically defines Huntington?s disease was absent in both cases. Our findings reveal an etiological relationship between HTT repeat expansions and FTD/ALS syndromes and indicate that genetic screening of FTD/ALS patients for HTT repeat expansions should be considered. We examined the role of repeat expansions in the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by analyzing whole-genome sequence data from 2,442 FTD/ALS patients, 2,599 Lewy body dementia (LBD) patients, and 3,158 neurologically healthy subjects. Pathogenic expansions (range, 40?64 CAG repeats) in the huntingtin (HTT) gene were found in three (0.12%) patients diagnosed with pure FTD/ALS syndromes but were not present in the LBD or healthy cohorts. We replicated our findings in an independent collection of 3,674 FTD/ALS patients.

Abstract

Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org) creates tools and data resources to facilitate genomic analysis in chordate species with an emphasis on human, major vertebrate model organisms and farm animals. Over the past year we have increased the number of species that we support to 77 and expanded our genome browser with a new scrollable overview and improved variation and phenotype views. We also report updates to our core datasets and improvements to our gene homology relationships from the addition of new species. Our REST service has been extended with additional support for comparative genomics and ontology information. Finally, we provide updated information about our methods for data access and resources for user training.
