We aim to determine the prevalence of the GAA repeat expansion in FGF14 in Chinese populations presenting late-onset cerebellar ataxia (LOCA) and evaluate the characteristics of tandem repeat inheritance, radiological features and sympathetic nerve involvement. GAA-FGF14 repeat expansion was screened in an undiagnosed LOCA cohort (n = 664) and variations in repeat-length were analyzed in families of confirmed GAA-FGF14 ataxia patients. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate the radiological feature in GAA-FGF14 ataxia patients. Clinical examinations and sympathetic skin response (SSR) recordings in GAA-FGF14 patients (n = 16) were used to quantify sympathetic nerve involvement. Two unrelated probands (2/664) were identified. Genetic screening for GAA-FGF14 repeat expansion was performed in 39 family members, 16 of whom were genetically diagnosed with GAA-FGF14 ataxia. Familial screening revealed expansion of GAA repeats in maternal transmissions, but contraction upon paternal transmission. Brain MRI showed slight to moderate cerebellar atrophy. SSR amplitude was lower in GAA-FGF14 patients in pre-symptomatic stage compared to healthy controls, and further decreased in the symptomatic stage. GAA-FGF14 ataxia was rare among Chinese LOCA cases. Parental gender appears to affect variability in GAA repeat number between generations. Reduced SSR amplitude is a prominent feature in GAA-FGF14 patients, even in the pre-symptomatic stage.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":"69 9","pages":"433-440"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141310866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large-scale analyses about qualitatively distinct lines of evidence used for VUS can make them re-classification more accurately. We analyzed 458 Chinese adult patients WES data, within 15 pathogenic evidence PS1, PS2, PM1, PM6 and PP4 were not used for VUS pathogenic classification, meanwhile the PP3, BP4, PP2 were used much more frequently. The PM2_Supporting was used most widely for all reported variants. There were also 31 null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites) which were probably the disease-causing variants of the patients were classified as VUS. By analyzed the evidence used for all VUS we recommend that appropriate genetic counseling, reliable releasing of in-house data, allele frequency comparison between case and control, expanded verification in patient family, co-segregation analysis and functional assays were urgent need to gather more evidence to reclassify VUS. We also found adult patients with nervous system disease were reported the most phenotype-associated VUS and the lower the phenotypic specificity, the more reported VUS. This result emphasized the importance of pretest genetic counseling which would make less reporting of VUS. Our result revealed the characteristics of the pathogenic classification evidence used for VUS in adult genetic disorders patients for the first time, recommend a rules-based process to evaluate the pathogenicity of VUS which could provide a strong basis for accurately evaluating the pathogenicity and clinical grade information of VUS.

Defects in the N-DRC can disrupt cilia/flagellum movement, resulting in primary ciliary dyskinesia and male infertility. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified a pathological homozygous variant of the dynein regulatory complex subunit 3 (DRC3) gene, which expresses leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 48, a component of the N-DRC, in a patient with asthenozoospermia. The variant ENST00000313838.12: c.644dup (p. Glu216GlyfsTer36) causes premature translational arrest of DRC3, resulting in a dysfunctional DRC3 protein. The patient’s semen count, color, and pH were normal according to the reference values of the World Health Organization guidelines; however, sperm motility and progressive motility were reduced. DRC3 protein was not detected in the patient’s sperm and the ultrastructure of the patient’s sperm flagella was destroyed. More importantly, the DRC3 variant reduced its interaction with other components of the N-DRC, including dynein regulatory complex subunits 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8.

This study explores the relationship between admixture and genetic associations for ADHD in Colombian and Mexican cohorts. Some 546 participants in two groups, ADHD and Control, were genotyped with Infinium PsychArray®. Global ancestry levels were estimated using overall admixture proportions and principal component analysis, while local ancestry was determined using a method to estimate ancestral components along the genome. Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was conducted to identify significant associations. Differences between Colombia and Mexico were evaluated using appropriate statistical tests. 354 Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) related to some genes and intergenic regions exhibited suggestive significance (p-value < 5*10e−5) in the GWAS. None of the variants revealed genome-wide significance (p-value < 5*10e−8). The study identified a significant relationship between risk SNPs and the European component of admixture, notably observed in the LOC105379109 gene. Despite differences in risk association loci, such as FOXP2, our findings suggest a possible homogeneity in genetic variation’s impact on ADHD between Colombian and Mexican populations. Current reference datasets for ADHD predominantly consist of samples with high European ancestry, underscoring the need for further research to enhance the representation of reference populations and improve the identification of ADHD risk traits in Latin Americans.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":"69 8","pages":"373-380"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11269173/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140876650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
