Methods Clinical data and results of karyotyping and FISH assays for 91 patients of MDS with n-CCA identified by CBA were retrospectively analyzed. Results In total 94 non-clonal + 8, 5q-, -7, 7q- or 20q- were detected by CBA, among which 43 (45.7%) were verified to be clonal abnormalities by FISH. The detection rates for + 8, 5q-, -7, 7q- and 20q- by FISH were 47.6% (30/63), 25% (2/8), 41.7% (5/12), 40% (2/5) and 66.7% (4/6), respectively, with the positive cells accounting for 4% to 90% of all counted cells, with a median value of 7%. The 91 patients were divided into three groups including ≥ 20, 10 ~ <20 and < 10 based on the numbers of metaphase cells in CBA, and the detection rates by FISH for the three groups were 43.7% (31/71), 33.3% (3/9) and 63.6% (7/11), respectively, which showed no statistically difference ( P >0.05). Continuous CBA and FISH surveys were conducted for 26 patients who received supportive treatment, and the results revealed that 91.7% (11/12) of FISH-verified positive abnormalities had persisted, whereas 92.9% (13/14) of the n-CCA verified as negative by FISH was transient. Conclusion Nearly half of the CBA identified n-CCA have been verified as clonal aberrations by FISH, and the FISH detection rate showed no correlation with the number of metaphase cells. FISH test is strongly recommended for verifying the clonalities of n-CCA detected by CBA, and continuous cytogenetic survey of the patients with MDS is necessary.

Methods Immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) clonotypic sequence analysis was carried out to assess the mutational status of IGHV in the blood and/or bone marrow samples from 44 WM patients. The usage characteristics of IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ gene was explored. Results The most common IGHV subgroup was IGHV3, which was similar to the data from the Institute of Hematology of chinese Academy of Medical Science. IGHV3-23 (20.45% vs. 15.44%) and IGHV3-74 (11.36% vs. 7.35%) were the main fragments used, which was followed by IGHV4 gene family (15.91% vs. 24.26%). However, no significant correlation was found between the IGHV4 usage and the prognosis of the patients. Should 98% be taken as the cut-off value for the IGHV mutation status, only 5 patients had no IGHV variant, and there was no correlation with the prognosis. Based on the X-tile analysis, 92.6% was re-selected as the cut-off value for the IGHV variant status in such patients. LDH was increased in 26 patients (59.1%) without IGHV variant (P<0.05), progression-free survival (P<0.05) and overall survival (P<0.05) were significantly shorter compared with those withIGHV variants. Conclusion The usage characteristics of IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ in our patients was similar to reported by the Institute of Hematology of chinese Academy of Medical Science, albeit that no correlation was found between the IGHV4 usage and the prognosis of the patients. Furthermore, 98% may not be appropriate for distinguishing the IGHV variant status in WM patients.

    查看更多>>摘要:目的 分析16例SPTB基因变异所致遗传性球形红细胞增多症(HS)患儿的临床特征和变异谱,探讨变异类型与HS临床表型的相关性。 方法 选择2018年11月至2022年7月就诊于首都儿科研究所附属儿童医院血液科门诊的HS患儿为研究对象。收集患儿的临床资料,采用全外显子组测序对患儿进行检测,对候选变异进行Sanger测序家系验证,同时进行生物信息学分析和蛋白三维结构预测。采用χ2检验比较具有不同蛋白质功能结构域的SPTB基因变异位点的患儿的临床表型差异。 结果 16例HS患儿的男、女比例为6:10,中位发病年龄为7岁10个月,主要临床表现为贫血、黄疸、网状红细胞增多,其中轻、中、重度贫血占比分别为56.25%(9/16)、31.25%(5/16)、12.50%(2/16)。基因检测结果显示,16例HS患儿均携带SPTB基因变异,其中10种变异既往未见报道,7例患儿的变异为新发。生物信息学分析显示,16例HS患儿中SPTB基因功能丧失型变异(LOF)占93.75%(15/16),错义变异占6.25%(1/16);变异位点分别位于收缩蛋白部分重复结构域(68.75%,11/16)、肌动蛋白结合域CH1(25.00%,4/16)和二聚化结构域(6.25%,1/16)。χ2检验显示,变异位点位于不同功能结构域的患儿的贫血程度差异无统计学意义(χ2 = 3.345,P>0.05)。蛋白三维结构预测结果显示,c.253G>A(p.G85R)错义变异可能影响蛋白质的正确折叠和二聚化的氢键网络,导致蛋白结构的异常;其余15种LOF变异可产生相应的截短蛋白,影响收缩蛋白的功能。根据美国医学遗传学与基因组学学会相关指南,上述变异均被评判为致病或可能致病。 结论 16例携带SPTB基因变异的HS患儿中轻中度贫血占比较高,变异类型以LOF为主,不同功能结构域的变异并不影响HS患儿的临床表现。本研究丰富了SPTB基因的致病变异谱和临床表型谱。 Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and spectrum of SPTB gene variants among 16 Chinese children with Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and explore their genotype-phenotype correlation. Methods Sixteen children who were diagnosed with HS at the Affiliated Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from November 2018 to July 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Genetic testing was carried out by whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and subjected to bioinformatic analysis and prediction of 3D structure of the protein. Correlation between the SPTB genotypes and clinical phenotypes was analyzed using Chi-squared test. Results The male-to-female ratio of the HS patients was 6 : 10, with the median age being 7-year-and-10-month. Clinical features of the patients have included anemia, reticulocytosis and gradual onset of splenomegaly. Mild, moderate and severe anemia have respectively occurred in 56.25% (9/16), 31.25% (5/16) and 12.50% (2/16) of the patients. SPTB gene variants were detected in all patients, among which 10 were unreported previously and 7 were de novo in origin. Loss of function (LOF) variants accounted for 93.75% (15/16). Only one missense variant was detected. Eleven, 4 and 1 of the variants had occurred in the repeat domain, CH1 domain, and dimerization domain, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the type or domain of the SPTB gene variants with the clinical features such as severity of anemia (χ2 = 3.345, P>0.05). All of the variants were predicted to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Conclusion Mild to moderate anemia are predominant clinical features of the HS children harboring a SPTB gene variant, for which LOF variants are the main mutational type. The clinical feature of HS is unaffected by the type of the variants. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of SPTB gene variants and its clinical phenotypes.

    查看更多>>摘要:目的 回顾性分析2个新的杂合错义变异所致遗传性低纤维蛋白原血症(IFD)家系的表型和基因变异,并探讨其分子发病机制。 方法 选取2个分别于2021年3月30日和2021年5月27日就诊于温州医科大学附属第一医院的IFD先证者及其家系成员作为研究对象。收集临床资料,并检测先证者及其家系成员的凝血指标,用Sanger测序法分析先证者FGA、FGB及FGG基因的变异位点。利用生物信息学软件分析候选变异位点的保守性并预测变异蛋白的致病性,同时模拟变异前后蛋白质结构及分子间作用力的变化。 结果 先证者1为18岁男性,血浆纤维蛋白原活性(Fg:C)和血浆纤维蛋白原抗原(Fg:Ag)均明显偏低,分别为0.80 g/L和1.00 g/L。先证者2为43岁男性,其Fg:C和Fg:Ag分别为1.35 g/L和1.30 g/L,均偏低;先证者1的父亲、先证者2的父亲及儿子的Fg:C和Fg:Ag均偏低。测序结果发现先证者1及其父亲FGG基因的第7外显子均存在c.688T>G(p.Phe230Val)杂合错义变异;先证者2及其父亲和儿子FGA基因的第6外显子均存在c.2516A>C(p.Asn839Thr)杂合错义变异。同源性分析表明Phe230和Asn839残基在进化上高度保守。生物信息学软件预测提示p.Phe230Val和p.Asn839Thr变异均为致病性;蛋白模拟模型结果显示p.Asn839Thr变异使氨基酸之间的氢键发生改变,从而影响蛋白空间结构的稳定性。 结论 p.Phe230Val和p.Asn839Thr杂合错义变异可能是这2个家系发生IFD的原因。 Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical phenotypes and genetic variants in two Chinese pedigrees affected with Hereditary hypofibrinemia (IFD) and explore their molecular pathogenesis. Methods Two probands and their pedigree members were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University on March 30, 2021 and May 27, 2021, respectively. Clinical phenotypes of the probands were collected, and blood clotting indexes of the probands and their pedigree members were determined. Variants of the FGA, FGB and FGG genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing, and candidate variants were verified by sequence comparison. Bioinformatic software was used to analyze the conservation of the amino acids and pathogenicity of the proteins. Alteration in protein structure and intermolecular force before and after the variant was analyzed by simulating the protein model. Results Proband 1, a 18-years-old male, had significantly low plasma fibrinogen activity (Fg: C) and plasma fibrinogen antigen (Fg: Ag), respectively at 0.80 g/L and 1.00 g/L. Proband 2, a 43-year-old male, had slightly low Fg: C and Fg: Ag at 1.35 g/L and 1.30 g/L, respectively. The Fg: C and Fg: Ag of proband 1′s father, proband 2′s father and son were also below the normal level. Genetic testing showed that proband 1 had harbored a heterozygous missense variant of c. 688T>G (p.Phe230Val) in exon 7 of theFGG gene, which was inherited from his father. Proband 2, his father and son all had harbored a heterozygous variant of c. 2516A>C (p.Asn839Thr) in exon 6 of theFGA gene. Homology analysis showed that the Phe230 and Asn839 residues were highly conserved among homologous species. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that both p. Phe230Val and p.Asn839Thr were pathogenic variants. Analysis of protein simulation model showed that the p. Asn839Thr variant has changed the hydrogen bond between the amino acids, thus affecting the stability of the protein structure. Conclusion The heterozygous missense variants of p. Phe230Val and p. Asn839Thr probably underlay the IFD in the two pedigrees.

Methods A 35-day-old male infant who was admitted to the Oriental Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University on August 3, 2021 due to fever for over 7 hours was selected as the study subject. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the proband and his parents, and candidate variants were selected based on the clinical phenotypes of the proband and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Results WES and Sanger sequencing results revealed that the proband had harbored compound heterozygous variants c. 67_71delinsGCCC and c. 65delC of the PRF1 gene, which were respectively inherited from his mother and father. The c. 67_71delinsGCCC variant was unreported previously. Based on the guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and clinical manifestations, it was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3+ PP4). c. 65delC was a known pathogenic variant (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting + PM3_Strong+ PP4). Conclusion The compound heterozygous variants of c.67_71delinsGCCC and c. 65delC of the PRF1 gene probably underlay the disease in the proband. The identification of the novel variant has expanded the mutational spectrum of the PRF1 gene.

Methods The child was admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University on August 4, 2013 due to anemia, splenomegaly and deepening urine color for 5 years. His clinical data were collected. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected for routine blood test. The erythrocyte parameters of the child and his parents were detected with an automatic hemocyte analyzer. The hemoglobin components of the child and his parents were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Common mutations associated with thalassemia were detected by Gap-PCR and PCR-reverse dot blotting (PCR-RDB). Rare variants of the globin genes were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS), and the result was verified by Sanger sequencing. Results The child has shown mild to moderate hemolytic anemia. Routine blood test showed that he had lower hemoglobin (90 g/L) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (267 g/L) but a higher reticulocyte ratio (0.141), which indicated hyperplastic hypochromic anemia. Analysis of hemoglobin component showed that his hemoglobin F was elevated to 10.7%, which indicated abnormal synthesis of β globin peptide chain. HPLC analysis showed an abnormal peak accounting for 4.5% of the total area. Neither of his parents was found to have abnormal results by routine blood test and hemoglobin component analysis. No common globin gene variant was detected in the child. Gene sequencing revealed that the child has harbored a heterozygous variant of HBB: c. 266T>C, which wasde novo in origin. Based on the guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic. Conclusion The heterozygous HBB: c. 266T>C variant probably underlay the hemolytic anemia associated with Hb Santa Ana in this patient.

Methods A total of 24 003 pregnant women who presented at the Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from April 2017 to September 2021 were enrolled. Capillary hemoglobin electrophoresis in combination with routine blood test were used for primary screening for carriers of thalassemia-associated mutations, and those with positive results were subjected to fluorescence quantitative PCR assay. Prenatal diagnosis was provided for couples with a risk of giving birth to children with intermediate or severe thalassemia. Results Among the 24 003 pregnant women, 1 211 cases were suspected as carriers of thalassemia-associated mutations, among whom 443 (36.58%) were confirmed by genetic testing. Among these, carriers of α-, β- and α-complex β-globin gene mutations have accounted for 27.31% (121/443), 70.65% (313/443) and 2.04% (9/443), respectively. The result of prenatal diagnosis for an at-risk couple was -- SEA/αCSα, and the fetus was predicted to have intermediate or severe thalassemia. Termination of the pregnancy was recommended. Conclusion Hemoglobin electrophoresis combined with routine blood test during pregnancy may be used as a preliminary screening measure for carriers of thalassemia-associated variants. Combined with genetic testing, this will be of great significance for the control of thalassemia in this region.

Methods Semen and blood samples were collected from the patients for the determination of sperm concentration, viability, survival rate, morphology and acrosome antigen CD46. Meanwhile, DNA was extracted for whole exome sequencing (WES), and candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. Results All of the four patients were found to harbor variants of the DPY19L2 gene. Patients 1 ~ 3 had homozygous deletions of the DPY19L2 gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the DPY19L2 gene in patient 3 was disrupted at a recombination breakpoint area BP2, resulting in nonallelic homologous recombination and complete deletion of the DPY19L2 gene. Patients 2 and 3 respectively harbored novel homozygous deletions of exons 2 ~ 22 and exons 14 ~ 15. Patient 4 harbored heterozygous deletion of the DPY19L2 gene, in addition with a rare homozygous deletion of the 3′ UTR region. Conclusion DPY19L2 gene variants probably underlay the globozoospermia in the four patients, which has fit an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance and the characteristics of genomic diseases.

Methods Forty patients with ID/DD/ASD referred to Nanshan Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from September 2018 to January 2022 were enrolled. G-banded karyotyping analysis was carried out for the patients. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and subjected to CNV-Seq analysis to detect chromosome copy number variations (CNVs) in such patients. ClinVar, DECIPHER, OMIM and other database were searched for data annotation. Results Among the 40 patients (including 30 males and 10 females), 16, 15 and 6 were diagnosed with ID, DD and ASD, respectively. One patient had combined symptoms of ID and DD, whilst the remaining two had combined ID and ASD. Four patients were found with abnormal karyotypes, including 47, XY, + mar, 46, XY, inv(8)(p11.2q21.2), 46, XX, del(5)(p14) and 46, XX[76]/46, X, dup(X)(p21.1q12). Chromosome polymorphism was also found in two other patients. CNV-seq analysis has detected 32 CNVs in 20 patients (50.0%, 20/40). Pathogenic CNVs were found in 10 patients (25.0%), 15 CNVs of uncertain clinical significance were found in 12 patients (30.0%), and 7 likely benign CNVs were found in 4 patients (10.0%). Conclusion Chromosome CNVs play an important role in the pathogenesis of ID/DD/ASD. CNV-seq can detect chromosomal abnormalities including microdeletions and microduplications, which could provide a powerful tool for revealing the genetic etiology of ID/DD/ASD patients.
