Identification of mutations using whole exome sequencing in eight fetuses presenting with short femur
Background
Femur length is one of the important indicators for evaluating fetal growth and development. Short femur is a common prenatal ultrasound finding. This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of fetal short femur using trio-based whole exome sequencing (WES), so as to provide evidence for prenatal diagnosis and evaluate the application of trio-WES in prenatal diagnosis of fetal short femur.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical phenotype and WES results of eight fetuses with short femur diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound. The results of WES were validated by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the mutations was evaluated. Minigene assay was performed to investigate the effects of intronic mutation on mRNA splicing. The pregnancy outcome was followed up.
Results
A total of seven mutations were detected in eight short femur fetuses. Among them, COL2A1 (p.Gly1107Glu), GNAS (p.Lys739Glu) and FGFR3 (c.1075 + 95C > G) were novel mutations that had not been reported. Minigene assay showed that c.1075 + 95C > G in FGFR3 partially retained a 90 bp sequence in intron 8.
Conclusions
The results of this study enriched the mutant spectrums of COL2A1, GNAS and FGFR3 genes, and demonstrated the value of trio-WES in prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with short femur.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
