Blueprint Genetics Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Panel Test code: NE1301 Is a 105 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy. About Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy, also known as hereditary motor/sensory neuropathy (HMSN) is the most common genetic cause of neuropathy. Prevalence is estimated to be 1:3,300. CMT is characterized by broad genetic heterogeneity and can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked manner. CMT neuropathy results from involvement of peripheral nerves that can affect the motor system and/or the sensory system. Individuals with CMT experience symmetric, slowly progressive distal motor neuropathy of the arms and legs usually beginning in the first to third decade of life, and resulting in weakness and atrophy of the muscles in the feet and/or hands. Pes cavus foot deformity is common. CMT neuropathies can be divided to demyelinating and axonal forms.

  • The Modulation of Sphingolipids by Human Cytomegalovirus and Its Influence on Viral Protein Accumulation and Growth
    THE MODULATION OF SPHINGOLIPIDS BY HUMAN CYTOMEGALOVIRUS AND ITS INFLUENCE ON VIRAL PROTEIN ACCUMULATION AND GROWTH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas John Machesky, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Van Brocklyn, Advisor Professor Joanne Trgovcich _________________________________ Professor W. James Waldman Advisor Integrated Biomedical Science Graduate Program Professor Chien-Liang Lin ABSTRACT Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a β-herpes virus which can cause serious disease and even death in congenitally-infected infants and in immunocompromised individuals or immunosuppressed transplant recipients. This virus promotes its own replication by exploiting many cellular signaling pathways. Sphingolipids are structural components of cell membranes which can act as critical mediators of cell signaling. Sphingosine kinase (SphK) can phosphorylate dihydrosphingosine (dhSph) and sphingosine (Sph) to produce dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate (dhS1P) and sphingosine- 1-phosphate (S1P), respectively, which can activate many signaling pathways through binding to G-protein coupled S1P receptors, named S1P1-5. An area of research which has yet to be elucidated is whether HCMV modulates sphingolipids and their signaling pathways. Our data show that HCMV infection results in increased accumulation and activity of sphingosine kinase (SphK) within different cell types. This occurs during early times of infection in that it occurs after virus entry but before replication of viral DNA. Measuring the levels of transcripts encoding key enzymes of the sphingolipid metabolic pathway during HCMV infection revealed a temporal regulation of both synthetic and degradative enzymes of this pathway.

  • Absence of NEFL in Patient-Specific Neurons in Early-Onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Markus T

Methods Motor neurons were differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells of a patient with early- onset CMT carrying a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in NEFL. Quantitative PCR, protein analytics, immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, and single-cell transcriptomics were used to investigate patient and control neurons. Results We show that the recessive nonsense mutation causes a nearly total loss of NEFL messenger RNA (mRNA), leading to the complete absence of NEFL protein in patient’s cultured neurons. Yet the cultured neurons were able to differentiate and form neuronal networks and neuro- filaments. Single-neuron gene expression fingerprinting pinpointed NEFL as the most down- regulated gene in the patient neurons and provided data of intermediate filament transcript abundancy and dynamics in cultured neurons. Blocking of nonsense-mediated decay partially rescued the loss of NEFL mRNA. Conclusions The strict neuronal specificity of neurofilament has hindered the mechanistic studies of re- cessive NEFL nonsense mutations. Here, we show that such mutation leads to the absence of NEFL, causing childhood-onset neuropathy through a loss-of-function mechanism.

This review aims to provide a clinical approach to the diagnosis of this complex group of patients by addressing key questions including the predominant neurological syndrome associated with the neuropathy e.g. spasticity, the type of neuropathy, and the other neurological and non- neurological features of the syndrome. Priority is given to the diagnosis of treatable conditions. Using this approach, we associated neuropathy with one of three major syndromic categories - 1) ataxia, 2) spasticity, and 3) global neurodevelopmental impairment. Syndromes that do not fall easily into one of these three categories can be grouped according to the predominant system involved in addition to the neuropathy e.g.

Pathogenic variants in the genes encoding these proteins impair this function and have consequences on the whole organism. Establishing a genetic diagnosis in patients with renal tubular dysfunction is a challenging task given the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, functional characteristics of the genes involved and the number of yet unknown causes. Part of these difficulties can be overcome by gathering large patient cohorts and applying high-throughput sequencing techniques combined with experimental work to prove functional impact. This approach has led to the identification of a number of genes but also generated controversies about proper interpretation of variants. In this article, we will highlight these challenges and controversies. Keywords: inherited tubulopathies; next generation sequencing; genetic heterogeneity; variant classification. 1. Introduction Mutations in genes that encode transporter proteins in the renal tubule alter kidney capacity to maintain homeostasis and cause diseases recognized under the generic name of inherited tubulopathies.

Human mutagenesis is largely random, thus large Introduction coding regions, simply on the basis of probability, represent relatively large mutagenesis targets. Thus, we considered Genetic damage is largely random and therefore tends to the possibility that large cytoskeletal-protein related coding affect the larger, functional regions of the human genome regions (CPCRs), including extra-cellular matrix (ECM) more frequently than the smaller regions (1). For example, coding regions, would have systemic nucleotide variants that a systematic study has revealed that cancer fusion genes, on are not present in common SNP databases. Presumably, such average, are statistically, significantly larger than other human variants arose recently in development or in recent, preceding genes (2,3).
