Homozygous deletion of DIS3L2 exon 9 due to non-allelic homologous recombination between LINE-1s in a Japanese patient with Perlman syndrome

Abstract: Perlman syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive overgrowth disorder. Recently, the deletion of exon 9 and other mutations of the DIS3L2 gene have been reported in patients; however, the mechanism behind this deletion is still unknown. We report the homozygous deletion of exon 9 of DIS3L2 in a Japanese patient with Perlman syndrome. We identified the deletion junction, and implicate a non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) between two LINE-1 (L1) elements as the causative mechanism. Furthermore, the deleti… Show more

“…Our data therefore provide a road map for the functional dissection of uridylation‐triggered RNA decay. Notably, germline mutations in DIS3L2 have been shown to cause Perlman syndrome in humans, a congenital overgrowth disorder with high neonatal mortality and predisposition to Wilms’ tumor (Astuti et al , ; Higashimoto et al , ). But the disease‐causing molecular targets of Dis3l2 remain enigmatic.…”

“…DIS3L2 was recently identified as causative gene for Perlman syndrome, although no obvious genotype‐phenotype correlations have been noted. DIS3L2 mutations that have to date been identified in only ten patients with Perlman syndrome (including ours) are shown in Table (Astuti et al, ; Higashimoto et al, ; Morris et al, ). All seven patients with short‐term survival had homozygous deletions of exon 6 or 9, which leads to the loss of the RNB domain in both alleles.…”

“…In addition, mutations of the DIS3L2 have been identified in seven families with Perlman syndrome. Homozygous deletions of nine or six were found in five families and other mutations in two families (Astuti et al, ; Higashimoto et al, ; Morris, Astuti, & Maher, ). Chang recently reported Dis3l2 functions as being the effector nuclease responsible for degrading uridylated pre‐let‐7 miRNAs in the Lin28–let‐7 pathway in embryonic stem cells (Chang, Triboulet, Thornton, & Gregory, ).…”

“…However, NAHR mediated by L1 and HERV elements had been thought to rarely cause human diseases (Burwinkel and Kilimann, ). Indeed, until 2014 only four human diseases had been reported to be caused by L1‐mediated NAHR (Burwinkel and Kilimann, ; Higashimoto et al, ; Segal et al, ; Temtamy et al, ). However, recent reports have identified a recombination between L1 pairs at breakpoints of 44 pathogenic CNVs, suggesting that L1s‐mediated NAHR is likely to occur far more frequently than previously thought and is a crucial mechanism of structural rearrangement that contributes to genomic disorders (Startek et al, ).…”
