Perkinelmer Genomics to Request the Saliva Swab Collection Kit for Patients That Cannot Provide a Blood Sample As Whole Blood Is the Preferred Sample Eye Disorders Comprehensive Panel Test Code D4306 Test Summary This test analyzes 211 genes that have been associated with ocular disorders. Turn-Around-Time (TAT)* 3 - 5 weeks Acceptable Sample Types Whole Blood (EDTA) (Preferred sample type) DNA, Isolated Dried Blood Spots Saliva Acceptable Billing Types Self (patient) Payment Institutional Billing Commercial Insurance Indications for Testing Individuals with an eye disease suspected to be genetic in origin Individuals with a family history of eye disease Individuals suspected to have a syndrome associated with an eye disease Test Description This panel analyzes 211 genes that have been associated with ocular disorders. Both sequencing and deletion/duplication (CNV) analysis will be performed on the coding regions of all genes included (unless otherwise marked). All analysis is performed utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. CNV analysis is designed to detect the majority of deletions and duplications of three exons or greater in size. Smaller CNV events may also be detected and reported, but additional follow-up testing is recommended if a smaller CNV is suspected. All variants are classified according to ACMG guidelines. Condition Description Diseases associated with this panel include microphtalmia, anophthalmia, coloboma, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, optic nerve atrophy, retinal dystrophies, retinitis pigementosa, macular degeneration, flecked-retinal disorders, Usher syndrome, albinsm, Aloprt syndrome, Bardet Biedl syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.

Direct sequencing of the amplified captured regions was performed using 2X100bp reads on Illumina next generation sequencing (NGS) systems. A base is considered to have sufficient coverage at 20X and an exon is considered fully covered if all coding bases plus three nucleotides of flanking sequence on either side are covered at 20X or more. Low coverage regions, if any, are limited to ~1% or less of the nucleotides in the test unless a pathogenic variant explaining the phenotype is discovered. A list of these regions is available upon request. Alignment to the human reference genome (hg19) is performed and annotated variants are identified in the targeted region. Variants are called at a minimum coverage of 8X and an alternate allele frequency of 20% or higher. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) meeting internal quality assessment guidelines are confirmed by Sanger sequence analysis for records after results are reported. Indels and SNVs are confirmed by Sanger sequence analysis before reporting at director discretion. This assay cannot detect variants in regions of the exome that are not covered, such as deep intronic, promoter and enhancer regions, areas containing large numbers of tandem repeats, and variants in mitochondrial DNA. Copy number variation (CNV) analysis is designed to detect deletions and duplications of three exons or more; in some instances, due to the size of the exons or other factors, not all CNVs may be analyzed. This assay is not designed to detect mosaicism; possible cases of mosaicism may be investigated at the discretion of the laboratory director. Primary data analysis is performed using Illumina DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform v.2.03. Secondary and tertiary data analysis is performed using PerkinElmer's internal ODIN v.1.01 software for SNVs and Biodiscovery's NxClinical v.4.3 or Illumina DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform v.2.03 for CNV and absence of heterozygosity (AOH). Genes and/or exons located in pseudogene regions are not covered in this assay.

  • Unraveling the Genetics of Joubert and Meckel-Gruber Syndromes
    Journal of Pediatric Genetics 3 (2014) 65–78 65 DOI 10.3233/PGE-14090 IOS Press Unraveling the genetics of Joubert and Meckel-Gruber syndromes Katarzyna Szymanska, Verity L. Hartill and Colin A. Johnson∗ Department of Ophthalmology and Neuroscience, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK Received 27 May 2014 Revised 11 July 2014 Accepted 14 July 2014 Abstract. Joubert syndrome (JBTS) and Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) are recessive neurodevelopmental conditions caused by mutations in proteins that are structural or functional components of the primary cilium. In this review, we provide an overview of their clinical diagnosis, management and molecular genetics. Both have variable phenotypes, extreme genetic heterogeneity, and display allelism both with each other and other ciliopathies. Recent advances in genetic technology have significantly improved diagnosis and clinical management of ciliopathy patients, with the delineation of some general genotype-phenotype correlations. We highlight those that are most relevant for clinical practice, including the correlation between TMEM67 mutations and the JBTS variant phenotype of COACH syndrome. The subcellular localization of the known MKS and JBTS proteins is now well-described, and we discuss some of the contemporary ideas about ciliopathy disease pathogenesis. Most JBTS and MKS proteins localize to a discrete ciliary compartment called the transition zone, and act as structural components of the so-called “ciliary gate” to regulate the ciliary trafficking of cargo proteins or lipids. Cargo proteins include enzymes and transmembrane proteins that mediate intracellular signaling. The disruption of transition zone function may contribute to the ciliopathy phenotype by altering the composition of the ciliary membrane or axoneme, with impacts on essential developmental signaling including the Wnt and Shh pathways as well as the regulation of secondary messengers such as inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

Although TRIM32 is involved in protein ubiquitination, its substrates and the molecular consequences of disease-causing mutations are poorly understood. In this paper, we show that Downloaded from TRIM32 is a widely expressed ubiquitin ligase that is localized to the Z-line in skeletal muscle. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we found that TRIM32 binds and ubiquitinates dysbindin, a protein implicated in the genetic aetiology of schizophrenia, augmenting its degradation. Small-interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of TRIM32 in myoblasts resulted in elevated levels of dysbindin. Importantly, the LGMD2H/ STM-associated TRIM32 mutations, D487N and R394H impair ubiquitin ligase activity towards dysbindin http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/ and were mislocalized in heterologous cells. These mutants were able to self-associate and also co-immuno- precipitated with wild-type TRIM32 in transfected cells. Furthermore, the D487N mutant could bind to both dysbindin and its E2 enzyme but was defective in monoubiquitination.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

ABSTRACT Signaling from the primary cilium regulates kidney tubule development and cyst formation. However, the mechanism controlling targeting of ciliary components necessary for cilium morphogenesis and signaling is largely unknown. Here, we studied the function of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase-C2a (PI3K-C2a)inrenal tubule-derived inner medullary collecting duct 3 cells and show that PI3K-C2a resides at the recycling endo- some compartment in proximity to the primary cilium base. In this subcellular location, PI3K-C2a controlled the activation of Rab8, a key mediator of cargo protein targeting to the primary cilium.
