MRN localizes to chromosomal DSBs and recruits and activates the DSB repair protein kinase, ATM, which phosphorylates downstream substrates to elicit cellular DNA damage responses. Pathogenic variants in MRE11 cause the genome instability disorder ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD). The first ATLD patient allele identified, ATLD1, is a nonsense mutation that deletes 76 residues from the MRE11 C-terminus and markedly reduces levels of MRE11-ATLD1 and the entire MRN complex. The MRE11 C-terminus has been demonstrated to function in DNA binding, mediate protein interactions, and undergo post-translational modifications that regulate the MRE11 nuclease. We previously demonstrated that transgenic mice expressing reduced wildtype MRN levels exhibit severe phenotypes, including small body size, anemia, and DNA DSB repair defects. Thus, it is currently unknown whether low MRE11-ATLD1 levels, loss of the C-terminus, or both cause disease-associated phenotypes. In this study, we generated transgenic mouse models that express near endogenous or significantly reduced levels of MRE11-ATLD1 to determine the in vivo importance of the MRE11 C-terminus. We observe that low MRE11-ATLD1 expression leads to anemia, bone marrow failure, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and impaired lymphocyte development, similar to mice expressing low wildtype MRE11. In contrast, higher MRE11-ATLD1 expression results in a subset of moderate phenotypes, indicating that loss of the C-terminus has limited impact on MRN functions in vivo. These findings provide a foundation for predicting the clinical presentation and severity of ATLD patient phenotypes.</p>","PeriodicalId":13070,"journal":{"name":"Human molecular genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145274433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on the UK Biobank pain questionnaire 2019, comprising 10 474 gout cases and 140 068 controls, identifying 13 loci associated with gout.

Sex-stratified analyses revealed notable differences, with 16 loci identified in males and two loci identified in females, reflecting both shared and sex -stratified genetic influences on gout susceptibility. In addition, genetic correlation analyses demonstrated strong associations between gout and traits related to urate levels, specific medication use, and metabolic functions. Transcriptome-wide association studies highlighted several genes, such as SLC16A9 and ASAH2B, which showed significant expression patterns across various tissues, implicating metabolic and immune pathways in gout.

Splice-switching AONs are designed to modulate pre-mRNA splicing, thereby for instance restoring protein expression or modifying the eventual protein to restore its function or reduce its toxicity. Given the current lack of in silico methods that adequately predict off-target splicing events, assessment of off-target effects of AONs in human cells using RNAseq could be a promising approach. The identification and prioritization of potential off-target effects for validation and further investigation into the biological relevance would contribute to the development of safe and effective AONs. In this study, we used three different splice-switching AONs targeting three different human transcripts to study their transcriptome-wide, hybridization-dependent off-target effects with short read RNAseq. Using the computational tools rMATS and Whippet, we identified differential splicing events of which only a minority could be explained by hybridization, illustrating the difficulty of predicting off-target effects based on sequence homology. The main splicing events could all be validated with RT-PCR. Furthermore, from the three AONs studied, one AON induced considerably more changes in gene expression and splicing compared to the two other AONs assessed, which was confirmed in a validation experiment. Our study demonstrates that interpretation of short read RNAseq data to determine off-target effects is challenging.

We investigated the genetic relationships among primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and key endophenotypes: IOP, normal tension glaucoma (NTG), vertical cup disc ratio (VCDR), total macular thickness, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), through exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factorial analyses (CFA).

Post-GWAS analyses implemented in Functional Mapping and Annotation (FUMA) and Multi-marker Analysis of Genomic Annotation (MAGMA) were conducted to identify non-IOP genes and pathways.

Significant associations between F2 and macular thickness and RNFL persisted after subtracting IOP. MAGMA analysis identified IOP-independent pathways for macular thickness and VCDR, primarily involving nerve and vascular pathways. Despite lower IOP levels in NTG patients, GWAS-by-subtraction revealed both significant IOP and non-IOP components for NTG.

Those studies indicated that rhodopsin is the most prominently downregulated photoreceptor-specific gene in RhoQ344X/+ mice. Rhodopsin mRNA is downregulated significantly prior to the onset of rod degeneration, whereas mRNA downregulation of other phototransduction components, transducinα, and Pde6α, occurs after the onset and correlate with the degree of rod cell loss. Those studies indicated that the mutant rhodopsin gene causes downregulation of wild-type rhodopsin, imposing a transcript-level dominant-negative effect. Moreover, it causes downregulation of the mutant mRNA itself, mitigating the toxicity. The transcript-level dominant effect was also observed in the major class II rhodopsin mutant model, RhoP23H/+ mice, in which mutant rhodopsin is prone to misfold. Potentially due to mitigated toxicity by reduced rhodopsin expression, RhoQ344X/+ mice did not exhibit light-dependent exacerbation of rod degeneration, even after continuous exposure of mice for 5 days at 3000 lux.

Autophagy is a major cellular process maintaining proteostasis and integral to innate immune defenses that mediates lysosomal protein turnover. Defects in autophagy are thus frequently associated with NDDs. In this review, we discuss the interplay between NDDs associated proteins and autophagy and provide an overview over recent discoveries in inborn errors in canonical autophagy proteins that are associated with NDDs. While mutations in autophagy receptors seems to be associated mainly with the development of ALS, errors in mitophagy are mainly found to promote PD. Finally, we argue whether autophagy may impact progress and onset of the disease, as well as the potential of targeting autophagy as a therapeutic approach.
