Gu LH, Wu RR, Zheng XL, Fu A, Xing ZY, Chen YY, He ZC, Lu LZ, Qi YT, Chen AH, Zhang YP, Xu TS, Peng MS, Ma C. Genomic insights into local adaptation and phenotypic diversity of Wenchang chickens. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103376. [PMID: 38228059 PMCID: PMC10823079 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.103376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Wenchang chicken, a prized local breed in Hainan Province of China renowned for its exceptional adaptability to tropical environments and good meat quality, is deeply favored by the public. However, an insufficient understanding of its population architecture and the unclear genetic basis that governs its typical attributes have posed challenges in the protection and breeding of this precious breed. To address these gaps, we conducted whole-genome resequencing on 200 Wenchang chicken samples derived from 10 distinct strains, and we gathered data on an array of 21 phenotype traits. Population genomics analysis unveiled distinctive population structures in Wenchang chickens, primarily attributed to strong artificial selection for different feather colors. Selection sweep analysis identified a group of candidate genes, including PCDH9, DPF3, CDIN1, and SUGCT, closely linked to adaptations that enhance resilience in tropical island habitats. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) highlighted potential candidate genes associated with diverse feather color traits, encompassing TYR, RAB38, TRPM1, GABARAPL2, CDH1, ZMIZ1, LYST, MC1R, and SASH1. Through the comprehensive analysis of high-quality genomic and phenotypic data across diverse Wenchang chicken resource groups, this study unveils the intricate genetic backgrounds and population structures of Wenchang chickens. Additionally, it identifies multiple candidate genes linked to environmental adaptation, feather color variations, and production traits. These insights not only provide genetic reference for the purification and breeding of Wenchang chickens but also broaden our understanding of the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity in chickens.

Novel patients with NHLRC2 variants expand the phenotypic spectrum of FINCA disease. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1123327. [PMID: 37179546 PMCID: PMC10173879 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1123327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose FINCA disease (Fibrosis, Neurodegeneration and Cerebral Angiomatosis, OMIM 618278) is an infantile-onset neurodevelopmental and multiorgan disease. Since our initial report in 2018, additional patients have been described. FINCA is the first human disease caused by recessive variants in the highly conserved NHLRC2 gene. Our previous studies have shown that Nhlrc2-null mouse embryos die during gastrulation, indicating the essential role of the protein in embryonic development. Defect in NHLRC2 leads to cerebral neurodegeneration and severe pulmonary, hepatic and cardiac fibrosis. Despite having a structure suggestive of an enzymatic role and the clinical importance of NHLRC2 in multiple organs, the specific physiological role of the protein is unknown. Methods The clinical histories of five novel FINCA patients diagnosed with whole exome sequencing were reviewed. Segregation analysis of the biallelic, potentially pathogenic NHLRC2 variants was performed using Sanger sequencing. Studies on neuropathology and NHLRC2 expression in different brain regions were performed on autopsy samples of three previously described deceased FINCA patients. Results One patient was homozygous for the pathogenic variant c.442G > T, while the other four were compound heterozygous for this variant and two other pathogenic NHLRC2 gene variants. All five patients presented with multiorgan dysfunction with neurodevelopmental delay, recurrent infections and macrocytic anemia as key features. Interstitial lung disease was pronounced in infancy but often stabilized. Autopsy samples revealed widespread, albeit at a lower intensity than the control, NHLRC2 expression in the brain. Conclusion This report expands on the characteristic clinical features of FINCA disease. Presentation is typically in infancy, and although patients can live to late adulthood, the key clinical and histopathological features are fibrosis, infection susceptibility/immunodeficiency/intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental disorder/neurodegeneration and chronic anemia/cerebral angiomatosis (hence the acronym FINCA) that enable an early diagnosis confirmed by genetic investigations.

Ultrastructural characteristics of erythroid cells in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II, with a focus on peripheral cisternae and double membranes. BLOOD SCIENCE 2022; 5:25-31.

Abstract
Peripheral cisternae and double membranes (PCDMs) in erythroid cells are a landmark of type II congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA). To gain further insights into the mechanism of dyserythropoiesis, erythroblasts and erythrocytes in bone marrow were studied in 22 Chinese patients with CDA Ⅱ by transmission electron microscopy. The study demonstrated an increase in all patients in erythroblasts with PCDMs with development from pro-erythroblast to red blood cells. PCDMs often connected with cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the perinuclear space, and were accompanied by karyopyknosis, karyolysis and disruption in polychromatic and orthochromatic erythroblasts. The results suggest that PCDMs are transformed from ER during erythropoiesis and participate in the dissolution and deletion of late erythroid cells in patients with CDA II.

Abstract
We report a case of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA) type II in a female child, which is an extremely rare cause of hereditary anaemia. The patient, still in her early childhood, presented to us with transfusion-dependent anaemia, unexplained jaundice, passage of cola-coloured urine and hepatosplenomegaly. Further investigations revealed evidence of iron overload, ineffective erythropoiesis and inadequate bone marrow response. Bone marrow aspiration study demonstrated dyserythropoiesis and findings typical of CDA type II. Targeted exome genome sequencing was done and identified heterozygous missense mutation of the SEC23B gene. CDA, being clinically similar to other more prevalent causes of anaemia, should be kept in mind especially when the common causes have already been ruled out.
