Myotubular Myopathy Caused by Multiple Abnormal Splicing Variants in the MTM1 RNA in a Patient with a Mild Phenotype
European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 701–704 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/12 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT Myotubular myopathy caused by multiple abnormal splicing variants in the MTM1 RNA in a patient with a mild phenotype Nasim Vasli1,2,3,4, Vincent Laugel5, Johann Bo¨hm1,2,3,4,Be´atrice Lannes6, Vale´rie Biancalana1,2,3,4,7and Jocelyn Laporte*,1,2,3,4 Mutations impacting on the splicing of pre-mRNA are one important cause of genetically inherited diseases. However, detection of splice mutations, that are mainly due to intronic variations, and characterization of their effects are usually not performed as a first approach during genetic diagnosis. X-linked recessive myotubular myopathy is a severe congenital myopathy due to mutations in the MTM1 gene encoding myotubularin. Here, we screened a male patient showing an unusually mild phenotype without respiratory distress by western blot with specific myotubularin antibodies and detected a strong reduction of the protein level.The disease was subsequently linked to a hemizygous point mutation affecting the acceptor splice site of exon 8 of MTM1, proven by protein, transcript and genomic DNA analysis. Detailed analysis of the MTM1 mRNA by RT-PCR, sequencing and quantitative PCR revealed multiple abnormal transcripts with retention of a truncated exon 8, and neighboring exons 7 and 9 but exclusion of several other exons, suggesting a complex effect of this mutation on the splicing of non-adjacent exons. We conclude that the analysis of RNA by RT-PCR and sequencing is an important step to characterize the precise impact of detected splice variants. -

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. -
Identification and Characterization of RHOA-Interacting Proteins in Bovine Spermatozoa1
BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION 78, 184–192 (2008) Published online before print 10 October 2007. DOI 10.1095/biolreprod.107.062943 Identification and Characterization of RHOA-Interacting Proteins in Bovine Spermatozoa1 Sarah E. Fiedler, Malini Bajpai, and Daniel W. Carr2 Department of Medicine, Oregon Health & Sciences University and Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Portland, Oregon 97239 ABSTRACT Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) catalyze the GDP for GTP exchange [2]. Activation is negatively regulated by In somatic cells, RHOA mediates actin dynamics through a both guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (RHO GDIs) GNA13-mediated signaling cascade involving RHO kinase and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) [1, 2]. Endogenous (ROCK), LIM kinase (LIMK), and cofilin. RHOA can be RHO can be inactivated via C3 exoenzyme ADP-ribosylation, negatively regulated by protein kinase A (PRKA), and it and studies have demonstrated RHO involvement in actin-based interacts with members of the A-kinase anchoring (AKAP) cytoskeletal response to extracellular signals, including lyso- family via intermediary proteins. In spermatozoa, actin poly- merization precedes the acrosome reaction, which is necessary phosphatidic acid (LPA) [2–4]. LPA is known to signal through for normal fertility. The present study was undertaken to G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [4, 5]; specifically, LPA- determine whether the GNA13-mediated RHOA signaling activated GNA13 (formerly Ga13) promotes RHO activation pathway may be involved in acrosome reaction in bovine through GEFs [4, 6]. Activated RHO-GTP then signals RHO caudal sperm, and whether AKAPs may be involved in its kinase (ROCK), resulting in the phosphorylation and activation targeting and regulation. GNA13, RHOA, ROCK2, LIMK2, and of LIM-kinase (LIMK), which in turn phosphorylates and cofilin were all detected by Western blot in bovine caudal inactivates cofilin, an actin depolymerizer, the end result being sperm. -

Its yearling weight and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are economically important for the selection of young and proven bulls. In recent decades, the advent of high throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the detection of genomic regions associated with traits of economic interest in different species. In this study, we conducted a weighted single-step genome-wide association study which combines all genotypes, phenotypes and pedigree data in one step (ssGBLUP). It allows for the use of all SNPs simultaneously along with all phenotypes from genotyped and ungenotyped animals. Our results revealed 33 relevant genomic regions related to the traits of interest. -
Transcriptome Sequencing and Genome-Wide Association Analyses Reveal Lysosomal Function and Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 563–572 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Transcriptome sequencing and genome-wide association analyses reveal lysosomal function and actin cytoskeleton remodeling in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder Z Zhao1,6,JXu2,6, J Chen3,6, S Kim4, M Reimers3, S-A Bacanu3,HYu1, C Liu5, J Sun1, Q Wang1, P Jia1,FXu2, Y Zhang2, KS Kendler3, Z Peng2 and X Chen3 Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD) are severe mental disorders with high heritability. Clinicians have long noticed the similarities of clinic symptoms between these disorders. In recent years, accumulating evidence indicates some shared genetic liabilities. However, what is shared remains elusive. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome analysis of post-mortem brain tissues (cingulate cortex) from SCZ, BPD and control subjects, and identified differentially expressed genes in these disorders. We found 105 and 153 genes differentially expressed in SCZ and BPD, respectively. By comparing the t-test scores, we found that many of the genes differentially expressed in SCZ and BPD are concordant in their expression level (q ⩽ 0.01, 53 genes; q ⩽ 0.05, 213 genes; q ⩽ 0.1, 885 genes). Using genome-wide association data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, we found that these differentially and concordantly expressed genes were enriched in association signals for both SCZ (Po10 − 7) and BPD (P = 0.029). To our knowledge, this is the first time that a substantially large number of genes show concordant expression and association for both SCZ and BPD. Pathway analyses of these genes indicated that they are involved in the lysosome, Fc gamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis, regulation of actin cytoskeleton pathways, along with several cancer pathways. -
