Abstract
DNA-damaging agents and endogenous DNA damage constantly harm genome integrity. Under genotoxic stress conditions, the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery is crucial in repairing lesions and preventing mutations in the basic structure of the DNA. Different repair pathways are implicated in the resolution of such lesions. For instance, the non-homologous DNA end joining and homologous recombination pathways are central cellular mechanisms by which eukaryotic cells maintain genome integrity. However, defects in these pathways are often associated with neurological disorders, indicating the pivotal role of DDR in normal brain development. Moreover, the brain is the most sensitive organ affected by DNA-damaging agents compared to other tissues during the prenatal period. The accumulation of lesions is believed to induce cell death, reduce proliferation and premature differentiation of neural stem and progenitor cells, and reduce brain size (microcephaly). Microcephaly is mainly caused by genetic mutations, especially genes encoding proteins involved in centrosomes and DNA repair pathways. However, it can also be induced by exposure to ionizing radiation and intrauterine infections such as the Zika virus. This review explains mammalian cortical development and the major DNA repair pathways that may lead to microcephaly when impaired. Next, we discuss the mechanisms and possible exposures leading to DNA damage and p53 hyperactivation culminating in microcephaly.

Cernunnos defect in an Iranian patient with T - B + NK + severe combined immunodeficiency: A case report and review of the literature. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2022; 10:e1990. [PMID: 35656589 PMCID: PMC9356558 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Defective Cernunnos gene in nonhomologous end‐joining (NHEJ) pathway of the DNA repair is responsible for radiosensitive severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Herein, presented a new patient with Cernunnos deficiency and summarized the clinical, immunological, and molecular features of reported patients in the literature. Case The patient was a 6‐month‐old female born to consanguineous parents. She presented with long‐lasting fever, diarrhea, poor feeding, and restlessness. She had suffered from recurrent fever of unknown origin and multiple episodes of oral candidiasis. In the physical examination, microcephaly, failure to thrive, oral candidiasis, pustular rash on fingers, and perianal ulcers, but no dysmorphic feature were observed. The immunologic workup revealed lymphopenia, neutropenia, normocytic anemia, low T‐ but normal B‐ and natural killer (NK)‐ cells, low immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and normal IgA, IgM, and IgE. The T‐cell receptor excision circle (TREC) was low and the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) was abnormal to mitogens and antigens. She was diagnosed with T− B+ NK+ SCID and improved by intravenous immunoglobulin along with antimicrobials. A homozygous splice site variant, c.390 + 1G > T, at the intron 3 of the NHEJ1, was identified and the diagnosis of Cernunnos deficiency was established. However, while a candidate for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, she developed sepsis and died at 11 months of age. Conclusions Cernunnos deficiency should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with microcephaly, growth retardation, recurrent infections, T‐cell defects, and hypogammaglobulinemia. The normal B‐cell level in the index patient is an unexpected finding in Cernunnos deficiency which requires further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most deleterious types of DNA damage. DSBs are repaired by homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). NHEJ, which is central to the process of V(D)J recombination is the principle pathway for DSB repair in higher eukaryotes. Mutations in NHEJ1 gene have been associated with severe combined immunodeficiency. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 3.5-year-old girl, a product of consanguineous first-degree cousin marriage, who was homozygous for a nonsense mutation in NHEJ1 gene. She had initially presented with failure to thrive, proportional microcephaly as well as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), which responded well to treatment with prednisolone. However, the patient was immunocompetent despite having this pathogenic mutation. CONCLUSIONS Herein, we report on a patient who was clinically immunocompetent despite having a pathogenic mutation in NHEJ1 gene. Our findings provided evidence for the importance of other end-joining auxiliary pathways that would function in maintaining genetic stability. Clinicians should therefore be aware that pathogenic mutations in NHEJ pathway are not necessarily associated with clinical immunodeficiency.

Loss of NHEJ1 Protein Due to a Novel Splice Site Mutation in a Family Presenting with Combined Immunodeficiency, Microcephaly, and Growth Retardation and Literature Review. J Clin Immunol 2017; 37:575-581.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-homologous end joining gene 1 (NHEJ1) defect is a rare form of primary immune deficiency. Very few cases have been described from around the world. PURPOSE We are reporting the first family from the Arabian Gulf with three siblings presenting with combined immunodeficiency (CID), microcephaly, and growth retardation due to a novel NHEJ1 splice site mutation, in addition to a review of the previously published literature on this subject. METHODS Patients' clinical, immunological, and laboratory features were examined. Samples were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). The pathogenic change in NHEJ1 was confirmed by Sanger sequencing, then further assessed at the RNA and protein levels. RESULTS Patients were found to have a homozygous splice site mutation immediately downstream of exon 3 in NHEJ1 (c.390 + 1G > C). This led to two distinct mRNA products, one of which demonstrated skipping of the last 69 basepairs (bp) of exon 3 while the other showed complete skipping of the entire exon. Although both deletions were in-frame, immunoblotting did not reveal any NHEJ1 protein products in patient cells, indicating a null phenotype. CONCLUSION Patients presenting with CID, microcephaly, and growth retardation should be screened for NHEJ1 gene mutations. We discuss our data in the context of one of our patients who is still alive at the age of 30 years, without transplantation, and who is the longest known survivor of this disease.

Abstract
The tandem RNA recognition motif protein, NONO, was previously identified as a candidate DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair factor in a biochemical screen for proteins with end-joining stimulatory activity. Subsequent work showed that NONO and its binding partner, SFPQ, have many of the properties expected for bona fide repair factors in cell-based assays. Their contribution to the DNA damage response in intact tissue in vivo has not, however, been demonstrated. Here we compare DNA damage sensitivity in the testes of wild-type mice versus mice bearing a null allele of the NONO homologue (Nono gt). In wild-type mice, NONO protein was present in Sertoli, peritubular myoid, and interstitial cells, with an increase in expression following induction of DNA damage. As expected for the product of an X-linked gene, NONO was not detected in germ cells. The Nono gt/0 mice had at most a mild testis developmental phenotype in the absence of genotoxic stress. However, following irradiation at sublethal, 2-4 Gy doses, Nono gt/0 mice displayed a number of indicators of radiosensitivity as compared to their wild-type counterparts. These included higher levels of persistent DSB repair foci, increased numbers of apoptotic cells in the seminiferous tubules, and partial degeneration of the blood-testis barrier. There was also an almost complete loss of germ cells at later times following irradiation, evidently arising as an indirect effect reflecting loss of stromal support. Results demonstrate a role for NONO protein in protection against direct and indirect biological effects of ionizing radiation in the whole animal.

XLF deficiency results in reduced N-nucleotide addition during V(D)J recombination. Blood 2016; 128:650-9.

Abstract
Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the nonhomologous end-joining pathway (NHEJ) is important not only for repair of spontaneous breaks but also for breaks induced in developing lymphocytes during V(D)J (variable [V], diversity [D], and joining [J] genes) recombination of their antigen receptor loci to create a diverse repertoire. Mutations in the NHEJ factor XLF result in extreme sensitivity for ionizing radiation, microcephaly, and growth retardation comparable to mutations in LIG4 and XRCC4, which together form the NHEJ ligation complex. However, the effect on the immune system is variable (mild to severe immunodeficiency) and less prominent than that seen in deficiencies of NHEJ factors ARTEMIS and DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, with defects in the hairpin opening step, which is crucial and unique for V(D)J recombination. Therefore, we aimed to study the role of XLF during V(D)J recombination. We obtained clinical data from 9 XLF-deficient patients and performed immune phenotyping and antigen receptor repertoire analysis of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TR) rearrangements, using next-generation sequencing in 6 patients. The results were compared with XRCC4 and LIG4 deficiency. Both Ig and TR rearrangements showed a significant decrease in the number of nontemplated (N) nucleotides inserted by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, which resulted in a decrease of 2 to 3 amino acids in the CDR3. Such a reduction in the number of N-nucleotides has a great effect on the junctional diversity, and thereby on the total diversity of the Ig and TR repertoire. This shows that XLF has an important role during V(D)J recombination in creating diversity of the repertoire by stimulating N-nucleotide insertion.

Abstract
Pediatric patients with severe or nonsevere combined immunodeficiency have increased susceptibility to severe, life-threatening infections and, without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, may fail to thrive. A subset of these patients have the radiosensitive (RS) phenotype, which may necessitate conditioning before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and this conditioning includes radiomimetic drugs, which may significantly affect treatment response. To provide statistical criteria for classifying cellular response to ionizing radiation as the measure of functional RS screening, we analyzed the repair capacity and survival of ex vivo irradiated primary skin fibroblasts from five dysmorphic and/or developmentally delayed pediatric patients with severe combined immunodeficiency and combined immunodeficiency. We developed a mathematical framework for the analysis of γ histone 2A isoform X foci kinetics to quantitate DNA-repair capacity, thus establishing crucial criteria for identifying RS. The results, presented in a diagram showing each patient as a point in a 2D RS map, were in agreement with findings from the assessment of cellular RS by clonogenic survival and from the genetic analysis of factors involved in the nonhomologous end-joining repair pathway. We provide recommendations for incorporating into clinical practice the functional assays and genetic analysis used for establishing RS status before conditioning. This knowledge would enable the selection of the most appropriate treatment regimen, reducing the risk for severe therapy-related adverse effects.
