Systematic Review of Clinical Characteristics and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in LAMB2-Associated Disease. Kidney Int Rep 2023; 8:1811-1821. [PMID: 37705905 PMCID: PMC10496080 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2023.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Laminin subunit beta-2 (LAMB2)-associated disease, termed Pierson syndrome, presents with congenital nephrotic syndrome, ocular symptoms, and neuromuscular symptoms. In recent years, however, the widespread use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has helped to discover a variety of phenotypes associated with this disease. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review. Methods A literature search of patients with LAMB2 variants was conducted, and 110 patients were investigated, including 12 of our patients. For genotype-phenotype correlation analyses, the extracted data were investigated for pathogenic variant types, the severity of nephropathy, and extrarenal symptoms. Survival analyses were also performed for the onset age of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Results Among all patients, 81 (78%) presented with congenital nephrotic syndrome, and 52 (55%) developed ESKD within 12 months. The median age at ESKD onset was 6.0 months. Kidney survival analysis showed that patients with biallelic truncating variants had a significantly earlier progression to ESKD than those with other variants (median age 1.2 months vs. 60.0 months, P < 0.05). Although the laminin N-terminal domain is functionally important in laminin proteins, and variants in the laminin N-terminal domain are said to result in a severe kidney phenotype such as earlier onset age and worse prognosis, there were no significant differences in onset age of nephropathy and progression to ESKD between patients with nontruncating variants located in the laminin N-terminal domain and those with variants located outside this domain. Conclusion This study revealed a diversity of LAMB2-associated diseases, characteristics of LAMB2 nephropathy, and genotype-phenotype correlations.

Next-generation sequencing in patients with familial FSGS: first report of collagen gene mutations in Tunisian patients. J Hum Genet 2021; 66:795-803. [PMID: 33654185 DOI: 10.1038/s10038-021-00912-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological lesion with many causes, including inherited genetic defects, with significant proteinuria being the predominant clinical finding at presentation. FSGS is considered as a podocyte disease due to the fact that in the majority of patients with FSGS, the lesion results from defects in the podocyte structure. However, FSGS does not result exclusively from podocyte-associated genes. In this study, we used a genetic approach based on targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 242 genes to identify the genetic cause of FSGS in seven Tunisian families. The sequencing results revealed the presence of eight distinct mutations including seven newly discovered ones: the c.538G>A (p.V180M) in NPHS2, c.5186G>A (p.R1729Q) in PLCE1 and c.232A>C (p.I78L) in PAX2 and five novel mutations in COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes. Four mutations (c.209G>A (p.G70D), c.725G>A (p.G242E), c.2225G>A (p.G742E), and c. 1681_1698del) were detected in COL4A3 gene and one mutation (c.1424G>A (p.G475D)) was found in COL4A4. In summary, NGS of a targeted gene panel is an ideal approach for the genetic testing of FSGS with multiple possible underlying etiologies. We have demonstrated that not only podocyte genes but also COL4A3/4 mutations should be considered in patients with FSGS.

Genetic diagnosis of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in a longitudinal collection of Czech and Slovak patients: a high proportion of causative variants in NUP93. Pediatr Nephrol 2018; 33:1347-1363.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) has a heterogeneous spectrum of monogenic causes that substantially differ among populations. The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic aetiology of SRNS in Czech and Slovak paediatric patients. METHODS We analysed clinical data from 74 patients (38 boys) with congenital (15%), infant (14%), and childhood-onset (71%) SRNS collected from the Czech Republic and Slovakia from 2000 to 2017 (inclusive). The DNA samples were first analysed by Sanger sequencing (genes NPHS2, NPHS1, and WT1) and then by next generation sequencing (NGS) using a targeted panel of 48 genes previously associated with SRNS. Family segregation of the causative variants was confirmed by Sanger sequencing when possible. RESULTS Genetic diagnosis was established in 28/74 patients (38%) based on findings of pathogenic or likely pathogenic causative variants in genotypes conforming to the expected mode of inheritance. Sanger sequencing diagnosed 26% of patients, whereas second-tier testing by a targeted NGS panel diagnosed a further 12%. Frequent causative genes were NPHS2 (15%), WT1 (9.5%), and surprisingly NUP93 with four (5.4%) unrelated cases. Additional causative genes included COQ2 (two patients), NPHS1, INF2, DGKE, and LMX1B (one patient each). CONCLUSIONS Compared with outright use of NGS, our tiered genetic testing strategy was considerably more rapid and marginally less expensive. Apart from a high aetiological fraction of NPHS2 and WT1 genes, our study has identified an unexpectedly high frequency of a limited set of presumably ancestral causative mutations in NUP93. The results may aid in tailoring testing strategies in Central European populations.

Abstract
Background & objectives: Clinically, nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a diverse group of symptoms; about 20 per cent of NS cases are resistant to steroid treatment, and within ten years they progress to end-stage renal disease. The present study was undertaken to identify the mutations of Wilms’ tumour 1 (WT1) gene in steroid-resistant NS (SRNS) children. Methods: A total of 173 children with SRNS and 100 children in the control group were enrolled in the study. DNA extraction was done, screened for WT1 (exons 8 and 9) gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. Karyotype analyses were done for WT1 mutation cases. Results: WT1 mutations were found in three of 173 SRNS cases (2 girls, 1 boy). All of them had intron 9 (IVS 9 + 4 C>T, 2; IVS + 5 G>A, 1) mutation. Of these three cases, one had familial and another two had sporadic history. Renal histology analysis showed two cases with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and they had external female genitalia but 46, XY karyotype. Both of them had streak gonads. Of the three cases, one expired. Interpretation & conclusions: The findings of the present study indicate that all females with SRNS-FSGS should be screened for WT1 gene mutation to diagnose whether they have FS for possible gonadectomy.

Abstract
Background LAMB2 mutations cause Pierson syndrome (OMIM 609049), an autosomal recessive genetic disease typically characterized by congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) and early onset renal failure, as well as bilateral microcoria. NPHP1 mutations cause familial juvenile nephronophthisis type 1 (NPHP1, OMIM 256100), another autosomal recessive renal disease that usually occurs years after birth. Both Pierson syndrome and nephronophthisis cause end-stage renal disease and rare kidney diseases in children. We report an extremely rare case of concurrent mutations of LAMB2 and NPHP1 in a Chinese girl with isolated CNS and the association of the phenotype with novel non-truncating mutations of LAMB2. Case presentation A-34-day-old girl presented with CNS but no eye abnormalities, and mild hyperechogenicity of kidneys. A novel c.1176_1178delTCT mutation caused deletion of a glycine in exon 9 of LAMB2, and another mutation c.4923 + 2 T > G led to a splicing error. In addition, compound heterozygous mutations of NPHP1 were identified in this child using next generation sequencing, and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Mutations of the LAMB2 and NPHP1 are present in infants with isolated CNS. Next generation sequencing enabled high-throughput screening for mutant genes promptly, with clinically significant outcomes. In addition, our results expand the phenotype spectrum of LAMB2 mutations as the only renal manifestation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal and gastric cancers. In the present study, we investigated association of GWAS identified rs2274223 A>G and. rs7922612 T>C polymorphism of PLCE1 with susceptibility to gallbladder cancer (GBC). METHODS The study involved genotyping of selected PLCE1 variants in 416 GBC cases and 225 controls. Haplotype analysis was done by SNPStats. In silico analyses were performed using bioinformatic tools. RESULTS PLCE1 rs2274223 [AG] and rs7922612 [CC] genotypes were found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of GBC [OR = 1.9, p = 0.002; OR = 2.0, p = 0.04, respectively]. PLCE1 haplotype [Grs2274223-Crs7922612] also showed significant association with GBC [OR = 1.8, p = 0.04]. The association was significant in females and GBC patients with stones and female GBC patients with gallstones [OR = 2.6, p = 0.01; OR = 3.3, p = 0.007], respectively. However, no significant associations with other risk factors such as tobacco usage and age of onset were found. Functional prediction of rs2274223 A>G suggested change in protein coding and splicing regulation. CONCLUSION The present study found a significant association of PLCE1 rs2274223 and rs7922612 polymorphisms with susceptibility to GBC probably through gallstone-mediated inflammatory pathway.

Abstract
The haploid human genome is composed of three billion base pairs, about one percent of which consists of exonic regions, the coding sequence for functional proteins, also now known as the “exome”. The development of next-generation sequencing makes it possible from a technical and economic standpoint to sequence an individual’s exome but at the cost of generating long lists of gene variants that are not straightforward to interpret. Various public consortiums such as the 1000 Genomes Project and the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project have sequenced the exomes and a subset of entire genomes of over 2500 control individuals with ongoing efforts to further catalogue genetic variation in humans.1 The use of these public databases facilitates the interpretation of these variant lists produced by exome sequencing and, as a result, novel genetic variants linked to disease are being discovered and reported at a record rate. However, the interpretation of these results and their bearing on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment is becoming ever more complicated. Here, we discuss the application of genetic testing to individuals with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), taking a historical perspective on gene identification and its clinical implications along with the growing potential of next-generation sequencing.

Abstract
Monogenic disorders result from defects in a single gene. According to Mendel's laws, these disorders are inherited in either a recessive or dominant fashion. Autosomal-recessive disorders require a disease-causing variant on both alleles, and according to our current understanding, their pathogenicities are not influenced by each other. Here we present an autosomal-recessive disorder, nephrotic syndrome type 2 (MIM 600995), in which the pathogenicity of an NPHS2 allele encoding p.Arg229Gln depends on the trans-associated mutation. We show that, contrary to expectations, this allele leads to a disease phenotype only when it is associated specifically with certain 3' NPHS2 mutations because of an altered heterodimerization and mislocalization of the encoded p.Arg229Gln podocin. The disease-associated 3' mutations exert a dominant-negative effect on p.Arg229Gln podocin but behave as recessive alleles when associated with wild-type podocin. Therefore, the transmission rates for couples carrying the disease-associated mutations and p.Arg229Gln may be substantially different from those expected in autosomal-recessive disorders.

Abstract
The present study aimed to screen for urinary biomarkers of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in children. These biomarkers were divided into three groups, the control, the steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) and the SRNS groups, which were composed of 45, 32 and 9 children, respectively. Urine samples were obtained and analyzed using Au-chips. Compared with the control group, the peak intensities of four proteins, measured using mass-to-charge ratios, were significantly increased in the primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS; SSNS and SRNS combined) group (P<0.01). The intensity of three and one peaks increased significantly in the SSNS and SRNS groups, respectively, compared with the control (P<0.01). Compared with the SRNS group, the intensity of one protein peak increased in the SSNS group (P<0.01). The diagnostic model was established based on these four protein peaks. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 88.89 and 93.75%, respectively. Four differentially expressed proteins may consequently serve as urinary biomarkers for SRNS in children.
