Abstract

We report on a 10-year-old patient with developmental delay, craniofacial dysmorphism, digital and genital abnormalities. In addition, muscular hypotonia, strabism, and splenomegaly were observed; inguinal and umbilical hernias were surgically corrected. Mucopolysaccharidoses and CDG syndromes could not be found. Chromosome analysis revealed a normal male karyotype (46,XY). A more detailed investigation of the patient’s genomic DNA by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) detected an interstitial 3.7 Mb deletion ranging from 15q24.1 to 15q24.3 which was shown to be de novo. Interstitial deletions involving 15q24 are rare. Sharp et al. (Hum Mol Genet 16:567–572, 2007) recently characterized a recurrent 15q24 microdeletion syndrome with breakpoints in regions of segmental duplications. The de novo microdeletion described here colocalizes with the minimal deletion region of the 15q24 microdeletion syndrome. The distinct clinical phenotype associated with this novel microdeletion syndrome is similar to the phenotype of our patient with respect to specific facial features, developmental delay, microcephaly, digital abnormalities, and genital abnormalities in males. We present a genotype–phenotype correlation and comparison with patients from the literature.

Introduction

Microdeletion syndromes are recurrent deletions associated with a distinct phenotype. These microdeletions often occur between low copy repeats and are commonly due to liability to unequal crossing over. It was recently shown that the well known classical microdeletion syndromes such as DiGeorge and Williams syndromes account for about 5% of all patients with mental retardation [18]. Besides the detection of known microdeletion syndromes, microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) or molecular karyotyping recently led to the discovery of novel recurrent microdeletion syndromes such as 17q21.31 and 15q24 [12, 20, 21]. To date 14 patients have been reported who have interstitial deletions at 15q22-q24 [1, 3, 4, 7, 13, 20, 22], but only three of them are restricted to chromosomal band 15q24 [4, 20]. So far, only a few of these cases have been molecularly characterized in order to determine the size of the affected regions. Despite considerable phenotypic variability, patients with 15q24 microdeletion syndrome share common features including global developmental delay, hypotonia, and genital abnormalities in males. In order to further delineate the 15q24 genotype–phenotype correlation, a novel patient with 15q24 microdeletion detected by array CGH is presented.

Clinical report

We present a boy who is the second child of healthy Caucasian parents. The mother underwent spine CT scan in the 8th week of gestation. The further course of pregnancy was uneventful and delivery by Caesarean section was at 38 weeks of gestation after preterm hydrorrhoea. Physical examination at the age of 10 years revealed a height of 132.5 cm (P50), weight of 35.7 kg (P50–75) and head circumference of 53.5 cm (P75). Our patient presented with developmental retardation, craniofacial dysmorphism, truncal obesity, and micropenis (Fig. 1a,b). In addition, general muscular hypotonia and splenomegaly were observed. He showed lumbar hyperlordosis, mild genua valga, and joint hypermobility. At the age of 6 months coordination disturbances were noted. Unaided walking was possible at 18 months.
Speech development was retarded and a mild mental retardation (IQ ∼65) was observed. Nasal speech and a hoarse voice were apparent. Prominent veins were evident on the trunk. Skin laxity was noted especially in the face and hands. We observed a convergent squint, astigmatism, and amblyopia. Inguinal and umbilical hernias as well as unilateral retentio testis inguinalis were surgically corrected at age 4 years. Patient’s hands show mild brachydactyly, clinodactyly of fourth finger (left hand), and broad thumbs (Fig. 1c,d). Radiological investigations including cranial CT were normal except for hand radiographs disclosing hypoplasia of distal phalanges, short mesophalanges, delay of carpal ossification (corresponding to the state of a 3 year old child), irregular epiphyses of the second and fifth mesophalanges and of the distal phalanx of the thumb (Fig. 1e).
Echocardiography as well as renal ultrasound and neurophysiological investigations (i.e. nerve velocity, EEG, ECG) did not reveal any pathological findings. In repeated metabolic screenings triglycerides and the LDL/HDL quotient were always elevated. He was only able to walk up to 100 m. Clinically, a metabolic defect was suspected. However, examinations concerning mucopolysaccharidoses and CDG syndrome disclosed no abnormalities. All serum parameters including growth related factors (IGF1, IGFBP3) were normal. FSH (18 U/l) and testosterone (1.4 ng/ml) values were normal for the patient’s age. This study was approved by the ethics committee of the Charité, Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and all individuals gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study.

Materials and methods

Cytogenetics

Karyotyping of GTG-banded chromosomes from lymphocytes at 450 bands resolution was performed according to standard procedures.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

BAC clones RP11–414J4 (genomic position 72.7–72.9 Mb) and RP11–94P14 (genomic position 75.2–75.3 Mb) were obtained from the RZPD (Deutsches Ressourcenzentrum für Genomforschung, Berlin, Germany). Genomic positions are according to the Ensembl Genome Browser v44, April 2007. BAC DNA was fluorescently labelled using nick translation and hybridized to metaphase spreads of the patient’s and parents’ lymphocytes using standard procedures. BAC clones RP11–414J4 and RP11–94P14 were labelled with spectrum orange. Centromere probe, Cep15 (D15Z1; Vysis, Downers Grove, IL), labelled with spectrum green was used as control probe. Chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). Hybridization of the commercial probes for SNRPN (Prader-Willi/Angelman region) and TUPLE1 (DiGeorge/VCFS region) were performed on metaphase spreads of the patient as recommended by the manufacturer (Vysis, Downers Grove, IL).

Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH)

Array CGH was carried out using a submegabase whole human genome tiling path BAC array consisting of the human 32k Re-Array set (http://​bacpac.​chori.​org/​pHumanMinSet.​htm) [14, 18], the 1Mb Sanger Clone set (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute) [6], and a set of 390 subtelomeric clones (generated in the course of the EU initiative COSTB19: Molecular cytogenetics of solid tumours). Detailed protocols are available at the following webpage: http://​www.​molgen.​mpg.​de/​~abt_​rop/​molecular_​cytogenetics/​Protocols.​html. Array CGH was performed as described previously [11] and 33028 BACs were included in the analysis. The log2ratio of test to reference was calculated and plotted according to chromosomal position of the clones. Copy number gains and losses were determined by a conservative threshold of 0.3 and −0.3, respectively. Profile deviations consisting of three or more neighbouring BAC clones were considered as genomic aberrations and were further evaluated by FISH, unless they coincided with a published variant as listed in the Database of Genomic Variants (http://​projects.​tcag.​ca/​variation/​; version Oct. 11, 2006). For visualizing the content of low copy repeats in the ratio plots (Fig. 2a,b), each BAC clone was classified into one out of seven categories and colour-coded as described previously [2].

Results

Standard karyotyping of G-banded chromosomes did not reveal any chromosomal abnormalities. According to the FISH analyses there was no evidence for a deletion of the Prader-Willi syndrome region or a microdeletion 22q11.2. Therefore, we performed array CGH analysis with the patient’s genomic DNA using a submegabase resolution whole genome tiling path array to detect microdeletions or duplications. A submicroscopic interstitial deletion on chromosome 15q24.1-q24.3 represented by 33 BAC clones was detected (Fig. 2). The size of the deletion is approximately 3.7 Mb extending from 72.2 Mb to 75.9 Mb (Ensembl release 43; Feb. 2007). According to the array CGH data the two breakpoints are located between RP11–247C02 and RP11–672A20 (proximal breakpoint) and RP11–758J16 and RP11–745I11 (distal breakpoint). Both breakpoints were found to be enriched for low copy repeats, which, according to the Segmental Duplication Database (http://​humanparalogy.​gs.​washington.​edu/​), share a 49.9 kb segment with 95% sequence similarity (no .9417), and the proximal breakpoint coincided with published DNA copy number variants. Given this high sequence similarity the deletion most likely emerged through nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) of the two breakpoint flanking low copy repeats (LCRs), a mechanism associated with genomic rearrangements [16]. The deleted region comprises 39 annotated genes (based on v39, June 2006, Ensembl genome browser; (http://​www.​ensembl.​org). In addition, a deletion on 15q11.2 was observed which represents a CNV listed in the Database of Genomic Variants and was therefore considered as a benign variant without pathological relevance.
For verification of array CGH data by FISH we used a set of BAC clones mapping to 15q24. As expected from the array data (log2ratio < −0.3) only one signal on the patient’s metaphases was detected for BAC clones RP11–414J4 and RP11–94P14 (data not shown). FISH on metaphase chromosomes of the patient’s parents and his brother detected two signals on chromosome 15 for all probes investigated and karyotypes were normal (data not shown). Thus, the aberration observed in our patient occurred de novo.

Discussion

Recently, Sharp et al. described a recurrent microdeletion of 15q24 in four cases ranging in size from 1.7–3.9 Mb characterised by molecular cytogenetic techniques [21]. The minimal deletion region was delineated to be 1.7 Mb in size (72.15–73.85 Mb). The patient presented here constitutes an interstitial microdeletion at 15q24 which shares common proximal (BP1) and distal breakpoints (BP3) with cases IMR349 and C45/06 of the publication by Sharp et al. [21] (Fig. 3). Since all deletions occurred in the maternal lineage the possibility of an underlying imprinting effect was pointed out [21]. The parental origin of the deletion was not analysed in our patient. A clinical comparison of our patient to these patients from the literature is shown in Table 1. The phenotype between patients with microdeletion 15q24 is variable; however, our patient shares all of the major features described for 15q24 microdeletion syndrome by Sharp et al. [21], i.e. unusual facial features (high frontal hairline, broad medial eyebrows, downslanted palpebral fissures, and long philtrum), developmental delay, digital abnormalities, genital abnormalities, and loose connective tissue (manifestation: joint laxity, inguinal hernia). However, our patient does not present with microcephaly (3/4), prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency (3/4), hearing problems (2/4), or bowel atresia (2/4).

Among the deleted genes are several coding for enzymes, e.g. mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI), alpha-mannosidase 2C1 (MAN2C1), and alpha-subunit of electron transfer flavoprotein (ETFA), as well as the cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) which catalyzes the first step in steroidogenesis. Several of these enzymes are involved in the synthesis, export, and degradation of glycoproteins. Mutations in the MPI gene (MIM 154550) cause congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ib (CDG Ib) [9, 19]. CDG Ib is an autosomal recessive disorder showing abnormalities in the glycosylation of glycoproteins. Therefore, the haploinsufficiency is asymptomatic. MAN2C1 (MIM 154580) is involved in the degradation of oligomannosides derived from dolichol intermediates, the degradation of newly synthesized glycoproteins, and in the processing of free oligosaccharides that are formed in the cytosol [23]. Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMP2, SCAMP5) are a family of post-Golgi and Golgi membrane proteins which have been implicated in vesicular trafficking. SCAMPs interact with NHE7 (Na+/H+ exchanger) and participate in the shuttling and retrieval of NHE7 from peripheral recycling endosomes to the trans-Golgi network [15]. Mucopolysaccharidoses and CDG syndrome were ruled out biochemically. However, the second allele was not analysed for point mutations. Thus, we cannot exclude uncovering of a recessive condition which could result in a homozygous loss of alleles which leads to deficiency of one of the other enzymes in this region.
The cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme P450scc is responsible for the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone in mitochondria [17]. This is the first and rate-limiting step in steroidogenesis [17]. So far, only one patient with a heterozygous mutation in P450scc has been described [24]. This patient had a late-onset form of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia without the characteristic enlargement of the adrenals. A complete absence of P450scc activity causes congenital adrenal insufficiency, complete 46,XY sex reversal, and severe adrenal failure [8, 10]. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a severe disorder with an impairment of adrenal and gonadal steroid synthesis. Although, we did not observe such a severe phenotype, and current steroid levels are normal in our patient. The haploinsufficiency of P450scc might contribute to the genital abnormalities in our patient and other affected male patients (microphallus with small scrotum, undescended testes, hypospadias) with deletions spanning the P450scc locus on 15q24.1 [4, 20].
In summary, the patient presented here constitutes an interstitial microdeletion at 15q24 and represents another case of the recently described 15q24 microdeletion syndrome. This is another example of the impact of array CGH as a diagnostic tool in clinical medicine [5].
