Functional analysis of TLK2 variants and their proximal interactomes implicates impaired kinase activity and chromatin maintenance defects in their pathogenesis
IntroductionThe Tousled-like kinases 1 and 2 (TLK1 and TLK2) are involved in many fundamental processes, including DNA replication, cell cycle checkpoint recovery and chromatin remodelling. Mutations in TLK2 were recently associated with ‘Mental Retardation Autosomal Dominant 57’ (MRD57, MIM# 618050), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by a highly variable phenotype, including mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, behavioural abnormalities, facial dysmorphisms, microcephaly, epilepsy and skeletal anomalies.MethodsWe re-evaluate whole exome sequencing and array-CGH data from a large cohort of patients affected by neurodevelopmental disorders. Using spatial proteomics (BioID) and…
Pseudohypoparathyroïdie : Distorsion du ratio de transmission maternelle des mutations perte de fonction de GNAS
National audience; La PseudoHypoParathyroïdie de type 1A (PHP1A) et la PseudoPseudoHypoparathyroïdie (PPHP) sont deux maladies rares à transmission autosomique dominante provoquées par des mutations perte de fonction du gène GNAS soumis à empreinte, codant la protéine Gsα. La PHP1A est causée par des mutations sur l’allèle maternel et entraîne une Ostéodystrophie Héréditaire d’Albright (AHO) et une résistance à la PTH, tandis que la PPHP avec AHO et sans résistance hormonale est liée à des mutations de l’allèle paternel. Cette étude visait à étudier la transmission des mutations de GNAS. Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective sur un grand nombre de familles mutées GNAS. Pour éviter un biai…
Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome as a major cause of syndromic intellectual disability: A study of 33 French cases.
International audience; Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WSS) is a rare syndromic condition in which intellectual disability (ID) is associated with hypertrichosis cubiti, short stature, and characteristic facies. Following the identification of the causative gene (KMT2A) in 2012, only 31 cases of WSS have been described precisely in the literature. We report on 33 French individuals with a KMT2A mutation confirmed by targeted gene sequencing, high-throughput sequencing or exome sequencing. Patients' molecular and clinical features were recorded and compared with the literature data. On the molecular level, we found 29 novel mutations. We observed autosomal dominant transmission of WSS in 3 fami…
