The prevalence of non-common ROH was relatively high in affected individuals, and for acrocentric chromosomes, chromosomes associated with common trisomies, and non-imprinted chromosomes. In addition, differences in common ROH locations were observed between the primary and the replication cohorts.

PRPH2 is noteworthy for its broad spectrum of disease phenotypes; both inter- and intra-familial heterogeneity have been widely observed and this variability in disease expression and penetrance confounds efforts to understand genotype-phenotype correlations and pathophysiology. Here we report the generation and initial characterization of a gene-edited animal model for PRPH2 disease associated with a nonsense mutation (c.1095:C>A, p.Y285X), which is predicted to truncate the peripherin-2 C-terminal domain. Young (P21) Prph2Y285X/WT mice developed near-normal photoreceptor numbers; however, OS membrane architecture was disrupted, OS protein levels were reduced, and in vivo and ex vivo electroretinography (ERG) analyses found that rod and cone photoreceptor function were each severely reduced. Interestingly, ERG studies also revealed that rod-mediated downstream signaling (b-waves) were functionally compensated in the young animals. This resiliency in retinal function was retained at P90, by which time substantial IRD-related photoreceptor loss had occurred. Altogether, the current studies validate a new mouse model for investigating PRPH2 disease pathophysiology, and demonstrate that rod and cone photoreceptor function and structure are each directly and substantially impaired by the Y285X mutation.

Transcription of the expanded DMPK allele produces mRNAs containing long tracts of CUG repeats, which sequester the Muscleblind-Like family of RNA binding proteins, leading to their loss-of-function and the dysregulation of alternative splicing. A well-characterized mis-regulated splicing event in the DM1 heart is the increased inclusion of SCN5A exon 6A rather than the mutually exclusive exon 6B that normally predominates in adult heart. As previous work showed that forced inclusion of Scn5a exon 6A in mice recapitulates cardiac DM1 phenotypes, we tested whether rescue of Scn5a mis-splicing would improve the cardiac phenotypes in a DM1 heart mouse model. We generated mice lacking Scn5a exon 6A to force the expression of the adult SCN5A isoform including exon 6B and crossed these mice to our previously established CUG960 DM1 heart mouse model. We showed that correction Scn5a mis-splicing does not improve the DM1 heart conduction delays and structural changes induced by CUG repeat RNA expression.
