conferenceObject Low Frequency of Pathogenic Allelic Variants in the 46,XY Differences of Sex Development (DSD)-Related Genes in Small for Gestational Age Children with Hypospadias(2019) BRAGA, B. L.; GOMES, L. N.; NISHI, M. Y.; FREIRE, B. L.; BATISTA, R. L.; FUNARI, M. F. A.; COSTA, E. M. F.; LERARIO, A. M.; DOMENICE, S.; JUNIOR, J. A. D. F.; JORGE, A. A. L.; MENDONCA, B. B.- Variants in 46,XY DSD-Related Genes in Syndromic and Non-Syndromic Small for Gestational Age Children with Hypospadias(2022) BRAGA, B. L.; GOMES, N. L.; NISHI, M. Y.; FREIRE, B. L.; BATISTA, R. L.; FARIA JUNIOR, J. A. D.; FUNARI, M. F. A.; BENEDETTI, A. F. F.; NARCIZO, A. De Moraes; CARDOSO, L. Cavalca; LERARIO, A. M.; GUERRA-JUNIOR, G.; COSTA, E. M. F.; DOMENICE, S.; JORGE, A. A. L.; MENDONCA, B. B.Hypospadias is a common congenital disorder of male genital formation. Children born small for gestational age (SGA) present a high frequency of hypospadias of undetermined etiology. No previous study investigated the molecular etiology of hypospadias in boys born SGA using massively parallel sequencing. Our objective is to report the genetic findings of a cohort of patients born SGA with medium or proximal hypospadias. We identified 46 individuals with this phenotype from a large cohort of 46,XY DSD patients, including 5 individuals with syndromic features. DNA samples from subjects were studied by either whole exome sequencing or target gene panel approach. Three of the syndromic patients have 5 main clinical features of Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) and were first studied by MLPA. Among the syndromic patients, loss of DNA methylation at the imprinting control region H19/IGF2 was identified in 2 individuals with SRS clinical diagnosis. Two novel pathogenic variants in compound heterozygous state were identified in the CUL7 gene establishing the diagnosis of 3M syndrome in one patient, and a novel homozygous variant in TRIM37 was identified in another boy with Mulibrey nanism phenotype. Among the non-syndromic subjects, 7 rare heterozygous variants were identified in 6 DSD-related genes. However, none of the variants found can explain the phenotype by themselves. In conclusion, a genetic defect that clarifies the etiology of hypospadias was not found in most of the non-syndromic SGA children, supporting the hypothesis that multifactorial causes, new genes, and/or unidentified epigenetic defects may have an influence in this condition.
conferenceObject Final Adult Height of Patients with Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) Associated with Sex Chromosome Abnormalities 45,X/46,XY or 45,X/46,X,+Y Variants(2016) FARIA JUNIOR, J. A. D.; GOMES, N. L.; BATISTA, R. L.; MORAES, D. R.; SCALCO, R.; NISHI, M. Y.; JORGE, A. A. L.; ULTRA, M. A. M. S.; COSTA, E. M. F.; MENDONCA, B. B.; DOMENICE, S.- A Small Supernumerary Xp Marker Chromosome Including Genes NR0B1 and MAGEB Causing Partial Gonadal Dysgenesis and Gonadoblastoma(2022) NISHI, M. Y.; JúNIOR, J. A. D. Faria; KREPISCHI, A. C. V.; MORAES, D. R. De; COSTA, S. S. Da; SILVA, E. S. D. N.; COSTA, E. M. F.; MENDONCA, B. B.; DOMENICE, S.Copy number variations of several genes involved in the process of gonadal determination have been identified as a cause of 46,XY differences of sex development. We report a non-syndromic 14-year-old female patient who was referred with primary amenorrhea, absence of breast development, and atypical genitalia. Her karyotype was 47,XY,+mar/46,XY, and FISH analysis revealed the X chromosome origin of the marker chromosome. Array-CGH data identified a pathogenic 2.0-Mb gain of an Xp21.2 segment containing NR0B1/DAX1 and a 1.9-Mb variant of unknown significance from the Xp11.21p11.1 region. This is the first report of a chromosomal microarray analysis to reveal the genetic content of a small supernumerary marker chromosome detected in a 47,XY,+der(X)/46,XY karyotype in a non-syndromic girl with partial gonadal dysgenesis and gonadoblastoma. Our findings indicate that the mosaic presence of the small supernumerary Xp marker, encompassing the NR0B1/DAX1 gene, may have been the main cause of dysgenetic testes development, although the role of MAGEB and other genes mapped to the Xp21 segment could not be completely ruled out.
