Mouse Clip2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Clip2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Clip2 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Clip2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_009990 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000063146 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 5. 17 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 17 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000100647). Exon 3~7 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous and heterozygous for disruptions in this gene display growth deficiency, brain abnormalities and hippocampal dysfunction and deficits in motor coordination. Exon 3 starts from about 3.98% of the coding region. Exon 3~7 covers 38.14% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~9147 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

  • The Contribution of CLIP2 Haploinsufficiency to the Clinical
    REPORT The Contribution of CLIP2 Haploinsufficiency to the Clinical Manifestations of the Williams-Beuren Syndrome Geert Vandeweyer,1 Nathalie Van der Aa,1 Edwin Reyniers,1 and R. Frank Kooy1,* Williams-Beuren syndrome is a rare contiguous gene syndrome, characterized by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms, connec- tive-tissue abnormalities, cardiac defects, structural brain abnormalities, and transient infantile hypercalcemia. Genes lying telomeric to RFC2, including CLIP2, GTF2I and GTF2IRD1, are currently thought to be the most likely major contributors to the typical Williams syndrome cognitive profile, characterized by a better-than-expected auditory rote-memory ability, a relative sparing of language capa- bilities, and a severe visual-spatial constructive impairment. Atypical deletions in the region have helped to establish genotype-pheno- type correlations. So far, however, hardly any deletions affecting only a single gene in the disease region have been described. We present here two healthy siblings with a pure, hemizygous deletion of CLIP2. A putative role in the cognitive and behavioral abnormalities seen in Williams-Beuren patients has been suggested for this gene on the basis of observations in a knock-out mouse model. The presented siblings did not show any of the clinical features associated with the syndrome. Cognitive testing showed an average IQ for both and no indication of the Williams syndrome cognitive profile. This shows that CLIP2 haploinsufficiency by itself does not lead to the physical or cognitive characteristics of the Williams-Beuren syndrome, nor does it lead to the Williams syndrome cognitive profile. Although contri- bution of CLIP2 to the phenotype cannot be excluded when it is deleted in combination with other genes, our results support the hypothesis that GTF2IRD1 and GTF2I are the main genes causing the cognitive defects associated with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

  • Transcriptome Network of the Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Radiation Marker
    Selmansberger et al. Radiation Oncology (2020) 15:182 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13014-020-01620-5 RESEARCH Open Access Transcriptome network of the papillary thyroid carcinoma radiation marker CLIP2 Martin Selmansberger1, Agata Michna1, Herbert Braselmann1, Ines Höfig2, Kenji Schorpp3, Peter Weber1, Natasa Anastasov2, Horst Zitzelsberger1,4,5, Julia Hess1,4,5 and Kristian Unger1,4,5* Abstract Background: We present a functional gene association network of the CLIP2 gene, generated by de-novo reconstruction from transcriptomic microarray data. CLIP2 was previously identified as a potential marker for radiation induced papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) of young patients in the aftermath of the Chernobyl reactor accident. Considering the rising thyroid cancer incidence rates in western societies, potentially related to medical radiation exposure, the functional characterization of CLIP2 is of relevance and contributes to the knowledge about radiation-induced thyroid malignancies. Methods: We generated a transcriptomic mRNA expression data set from a CLIP2-perturbed thyroid cancer cell line (TPC-1) with induced CLIP2 mRNA overexpression and siRNA knockdown, respectively, followed by gene-association network reconstruction using the partial correlation-based approach GeneNet. Furthermore, we investigated different approaches for prioritizing differentially expressed genes for network reconstruction and compared the resulting networks with existing functional interaction networks from the Reactome, Biogrid and STRING databases. The derived CLIP2 interaction partners were validated on transcript and protein level. Results: The best reconstructed network with regard to selection parameters contained a set of 20 genes in the 1st neighborhood of CLIP2 and suggests involvement of CLIP2 in the biological processes DNA repair/maintenance, chromosomal instability, promotion of proliferation and metastasis.

  • CLIP2 As Radiation Biomarker in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 3917–3925 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE CLIP2 as radiation biomarker in papillary thyroid carcinoma M Selmansberger1, A Feuchtinger2, L Zurnadzhy3, A Michna1, JC Kaiser4, M Abend5, A Brenner6, T Bogdanova3, A Walch2, K Unger1,7, H Zitzelsberger1,7 and J Hess1,7 A substantial increase in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) among children exposed to the radioiodine fallout has been one of the main consequences of the Chernobyl reactor accident. Recently, the investigation of PTCs from a cohort of young patients exposed to the post-Chernobyl radioiodine fallout at very young age and a matched nonexposed control group revealed a radiation-specific DNA copy number gain on chromosomal band 7q11.23 and the radiation-associated mRNA overexpression of CLIP2. In this study, we investigated the potential role of CLIP2 as a radiation marker to be used for the individual classification of PTCs into CLIP2- positive and -negative cases—a prerequisite for the integration of CLIP2 into epidemiological modelling of the risk of radiation- induced PTC. We were able to validate the radiation-associated CLIP2 overexpression at the protein level by immunohistochemistry (IHC) followed by relative quantification using digital image analysis software (P = 0.0149). Furthermore, we developed a standardized workflow for the determination of CLIP2-positive and -negative cases that combines visual CLIP2 IHC scoring and CLIP2 genomic copy number status. In addition to the discovery cohort (n = 33), two independent validation cohorts of PTCs (n = 115) were investigated. High sensitivity and specificity rates for all three investigated cohorts were obtained, demonstrating robustness of the developed workflow.

Gutachter Prof. Dr. Martin Vingron 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Peter N. Robinson 3. Gutachter: Christopher J. Mungall, Ph.D. Tag der Disputation: 16.05.2013 Preface This thesis presents research work on novel computational approaches to investigate and characterise the association between genes and pheno- typic abnormalities. It demonstrates methods for organisation, integra- tion, and mining of phenotype data in the field of genetics, with special application to human genetics. Here I will describe the parts of this the- sis that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Often in modern science different people from different institutions contribute to research projects. The same is true for this thesis, and thus I will itemise who was responsible for specific sub-projects. In chapter 2, a new method for associating genes to phenotypes by means of protein-protein-interaction networks is described. I present a strategy to organise disease data and show how this can be used to link diseases to the corresponding genes. I show that global network distance measure in interaction networks of proteins is well suited for investigat- ing genotype-phenotype associations. This work has been published in 2008 in the American Journal of Human Genetics. My contribution here was to plan the project, implement the software, and finally test and evaluate the method on human genetics data; the implementation part was done in close collaboration with Sebastian Bauer.

  • Williams Syndrome
    Williams syndrome Description Williams syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body. This condition is characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems, unique personality characteristics, distinctive facial features, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) problems. People with Williams syndrome typically have difficulty with visual-spatial tasks such as drawing and assembling puzzles, but they tend to do well on tasks that involve spoken language, music, and learning by repetition (rote memorization). Affected individuals have outgoing, engaging personalities and tend to take an extreme interest in other people. Attention deficit disorder (ADD), problems with anxiety, and phobias are common among people with this disorder. Young children with Williams syndrome have distinctive facial features including a broad forehead, a short nose with a broad tip, full cheeks, and a wide mouth with full lips. Many affected people have dental problems such as teeth that are small, widely spaced, crooked, or missing. In older children and adults, the face appears longer and more gaunt. A form of cardiovascular disease called supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) occurs frequently in people with Williams syndrome. Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body (the aorta). If this condition is not treated, the aortic narrowing can lead to shortness of breath, chest pain, and heart failure. Other problems with the heart and blood vessels, including high blood pressure (hypertension), have also been reported in people with Williams syndrome. Additional signs and symptoms of Williams syndrome include abnormalities of connective tissue (tissue that supports the body's joints and organs) such as joint problems and soft, loose skin.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY EXAMINING DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER WING SIZE UPON TISSUE SPECIFIC RNAI-INDUCED KNOCKDOWN OF CANDIDATE GENE REGIONS OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS AVIK MONI SARKER FALL 2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Statistics with honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Reviewed and approved* by the following: Santhosh Girirajan Associate Professor of Genomics Thesis Supervisor and Honors Advisor David Gilmour Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT In humans, deletions and duplications in the genome known as rare copy number variants (CNVs) are known to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia. While specific genes, both in these regions and elsewhere in the genome, are known to contribute to nervous tissue development, these genes could also have implications in general (not necessarily neuronal) tissue development. To explore this possibility, this study utilized the tissue specific RNAi knockdown of homologs of these genes in wing pouch tissue of Drosophila melanogaster to evaluate the effects on wing area. The homologs of 79 genes, categorized in 10 CNV regions or core neurodevelopmental gene categories, were studied in a high throughput manner. The results of this study indicate that 23 genes possibly contribute to the development of non-neuronal tissue in both male and female flies; however, further testing on additional lines would increase confidence in these conclusions. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................
