    Abstract Schizophrenia (SZ) is a heterogeneous and debilitating psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic component. To elucidate functional networks perturbed in schizophrenia, we analysed a large dataset of whole-genome studies that identified SNVs, CNVs, and a multi-stage schizophrenia genome-wide association study. Our analysis identified three subclusters that are interrelated and with small overlaps: GO:0007017~Microtubule-Based Process, GO:00015629~Actin Cytoskeleton, and GO:0007268~SynapticTransmission. We next analysed three distinct trio cohorts of 75 SZ Algerian, 45 SZ French, and 61 SZ Japanese patients. We performed Illumina HiSeq whole-exome sequencing and identified de novo mutations using a Bayesian approach. We validated 88 de novo mutations by Sanger sequencing: 35 in French, 21 in Algerian, and 32 in Japanese SZ patients. These 88 de novo mutations exhibited an enrichment in genes encoding proteins related to GO:0051015~actin filament binding (

    Abstract More than 50% of patients with primary familial brain calcification (PFBC), a rare neurological disorder, remain genetically unexplained. While some causative genes are yet to be identified, variants in non-coding regions of known genes may represent a source of missed diagnoses. We hypothesized that 5'-Untranslated Region (UTR) variants introducing an AUG codon may initiate mRNA translation and result in a loss of function in some of the PFBC genes. After reannotation of exome sequencing data of 113 unrelated PFBC probands, we identified two upstream AUG-introducing variants in the 5'UTR of PDGFB. One, NM_002608.4:c.-373C>G, segregated with PFBC in the family. It was predicted to create an upstream open reading frame (ORF). The other one, NM_002608.4:c.-318C>T, was found in a simplex case. It was predicted to result in an ORF overlapping the natural ORF with a frameshift. In a GFP reporter assay, both variants were associated with a dramatic decrease in GFP levels, and, after restoring the reading frame with the GFP sequence, the c.-318C>T variant was associated with a strong initiation of translation as measured by western blotting. Overall, we found upstream AUG-introducing variants in the 5'UTR of PDGFB in 2/113 (1.7%) undiagnosed PFBC cases. Such variants thus represent a source of putative pathogenic variants.

    Abstract Highlanders and lowlanders of Papua New Guinea have faced distinct environmental stress, such as hypoxia and environment-specific pathogen exposure, respectively. In this study, we explored the top genomics regions and the candidate driver SNPs for selection in these two populations using newly sequenced whole-genomes of 54 highlanders and 74 lowlanders. We identified two candidate SNPs under selection - one in highlanders, associated with red blood cell traits and another in lowlanders, which is associated with white blood cell count - both potentially influencing the heart rate of Papua New Guineans in opposite directions. We also observed four candidate driver SNPs that exhibit linkage disequilibrium with an introgressed haplotype, highlighting the need to explore the possibility of adaptive introgression within these populations. This study reveals that the signatures of positive selection in highlanders and lowlanders of Papua New Guinea align closely with the challenges they face, which are specific to their environments.

    Abstract T cells have the potential to maintain immunological memory and self-tolerance by recognizing antigens from pathogens or tumors. In pathological situations, failure to generate de novo T cells causes immunodeficiency resulting in acute infections and complications. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) transplantation constitutes a valuable option to restore proper immune function. However, delayed T cell reconstitution is observed compared to other lineages. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a new approach to identify populations with efficient lymphoid reconstitution properties. To this end, we use a DNA barcoding strategy based on the insertion into a cell chromosome of a lentivirus (LV) carrying a non-coding DNA fragment named barcode (BC). These will segregate through cell divisions and be present in cells' progeny. The remarkable characteristic of the method is that different cell types can be tracked simultaneously in the same mouse. Thus, we in vivo barcoded LMPP and CLP progenitors to test their ability to reconstitute the lymphoid lineage. Barcoded progenitors were co-grafted in immuno-compromised mice and their fate analyzed by evaluating the BC composition in transplanted mice. The results highlight the predominant role of LMPP progenitors for lymphoid generation and reveal valuable novel insights to be reconsidered in clinical transplantation assays.

    Abstract Breast cancer is currently the most diagnosed form of cancer and the leading cause of death by cancer among females worldwide. We described the family of long non-coding mitochondrial RNAs (ncmtRNAs), comprised of sense (SncmtRNA) and antisense (ASncmtRNA) members. Knockdown of ASncmtRNAs using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) induces proliferative arrest and apoptotic death of tumor cells, but not normal cells, from various tissue origins. In order to study the mechanisms underlying this selectivity, in this study we performed RNAseq in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells transfected with ASncmtRNA-specific ASO or control-ASO, or left untransfected. Bioinformatic analysis yielded several differentially expressed cell-cycle-related genes, from which we selected Aurora kinase A (

    Abstract Platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRB) is one of the genes associated with primary familial brain calcification (PFBC), an inherited neurological disease (OMIM:173410). Genetic analysis of patients and families revealed at least 13 PDGFRB heterozygous missense variants, including two novel ones described in the present report. Limited experimental data published on five of these variants had suggested that they decrease the receptor activity. No functional information was available on the impact of variants located within the receptor extracellular domains. Here, we performed a comprehensive molecular analysis of PDGFRB variants linked to PFBC. Mutated receptors were transfected in various cell lines to monitor receptor expression, signaling, mitogenic activity and ligand binding. Four mutants caused a complete loss of tyrosine kinase activity in multiple assays. One of the novel variants, p.Pro154Ser, decreased the receptor expression and abolished binding of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB). Others showed a partial loss of function related to reduced expression or signaling. Combining clinical, genetic and molecular data, we consider nine variants as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, three as benign or likely benign and one as a variant of unknown significance. We discuss the possible relationship between the variant residual activity, incomplete penetrance, brain calcification and neurological symptoms. In conclusion, we identified distinct molecular mechanisms whereby PDGFRB variants may result in a receptor loss of function. This work will facilitate genetic counseling in PFBC.
