A Central Role of Telomere Dysfunction in the Formation of a Unique Translocation within the Sub-Telomere Region Resulting in Duplication and Partial Trisomy. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13101762.

Abstract
Telomeres play a major role in maintaining genome stability and integrity. Putative involvement of telomere dysfunction in the formation of various types of chromosomal aberrations is an area of active research. Here, we report a case of a six-month-old boy with a chromosomal gain encompassing the 11q22.3q25 region identified by SNP array analysis. The size of the duplication is 26.7 Mb and contains 170 genes (OMIM). The duplication results in partial trisomy of the region in question with clinical consequences, including bilateral renal dysplasia, delayed development, and a heart defect. Moreover, the karyotype determined by R-banding and chromosome painting as well as by hybridization with specific sub-telomere probes revealed the presence of an unbalanced t(9;11)(p24;q22.3) translocation with a unique breakpoint involving the sub-telomere region of the short arm of chromosome 9. The karyotypes of the parents were normal. Telomere integrity in circulating lymphocytes from the child and from his parents was assessed using an automated high-throughput method based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with telomere- and centromere-specific PNA probes followed by M-FISH multicolor karyotyping. Very short telomeres, as well as an increased frequency of telomere loss and formation of telomere doublets, were detected in the child’s cells. Interestingly, similar telomere profiles were found in the circulating lymphocytes of the father. Moreover, an assessment of clonal telomere aberrations identified chromosomes 9 and 11 with particularly high frequencies of such aberrations. These findings strongly suggest that telomere dysfunction plays a central role in the formation of this specific unbalanced chromosome rearrangement via chromosome end-to-end fusion and breakage–fusion–bridge cycles.

A recurrent missense variant in EYA3 gene is associated with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum. Hum Genet 2021; 140:933-944.

Abstract
Goldenhar syndrome or oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is a complex developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric ear anomalies, hemifacial microsomia, ocular and vertebral defects. We aimed at identifying and characterizing a new gene associated with OAVS. Two affected brothers with OAVS were analyzed by exome sequencing that revealed a missense variant (p.(Asn358Ser)) in the EYA3 gene. EYA3 screening was then performed in 122 OAVS patients that identified the same variant in one individual from an unrelated family. Segregation assessment in both families showed incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. We investigated this variant in cellular models to determine its pathogenicity and demonstrated an increased half-life of the mutated protein without impact on its ability to dephosphorylate H2AFX following DNA repair pathway induction. Proteomics performed on this cellular model revealed four significantly predicted upstream regulators which are PPARGC1B, YAP1, NFE2L2 and MYC. Moreover, eya3 knocked-down zebrafish embryos developed specific craniofacial abnormalities corroborating previous animal models and supporting its involvement in the OAVS. Additionally, EYA3 gene expression was deregulated in vitro by retinoic acid exposure. EYA3 is the second recurrent gene identified to be associated with OAVS. Moreover, based on protein interactions and related diseases, we suggest the DNA repair as a key molecular pathway involved in craniofacial development.

Tingaud‐Sequeira A, Trimouille A, Marlin S, Lopez E, Berenguer M, Gherbi S, Arveiler B, Lacombe D, Rooryck C. Functional and genetic analyses of ZYG11B provide evidences for its involvement in OAVS. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2020; 8:e1375. [PMID: 32738032 PMCID: PMC7549578 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral Spectrum (OAVS) or Goldenhar Syndrome is an embryonic developmental disorder characterized by hemifacial microsomia associated with auricular, ocular and vertebral malformations. The clinical heterogeneity of this spectrum and its incomplete penetrance limited the molecular diagnosis. In this study, we describe a novel causative gene, ZYG11B. METHODS A sporadic case of OAVS was analyzed by whole exome sequencing in trio strategy. The identified candidate gene, ZYG11B, was screened in 143 patients by next generation sequencing. Overexpression and immunofluorescence of wild-type and mutated ZYG11B forms were performed in Hela cells. Moreover, morpholinos were used for transient knockdown of its homologue in zebrafish embryo. RESULTS A nonsense de novo heterozygous variant in ZYG11B, (NM_024646, c.1609G>T, p.Glu537*) was identified in a single OAVS patient. This variant leads in vitro to a truncated protein whose subcellular localization is altered. Transient knockdown of the zebrafish homologue gene confirmed its role in craniofacial cartilages architecture and in notochord development. Moreover, ZYG11B expression regulates a cartilage master regulator, SOX6, and is regulated by Retinoic Acid, a known developmental toxic molecule leading to clinical features of OAVS. CONCLUSION Based on genetic, cellular and animal model data, we proposed ZYG11B as a novel rare causative gene for OAVS.
