conferenceObject TCR V beta Repertoire Diversity in Healthy Individuals of Different Age Groups(2013) ARANTES, J. M.; SANTOS, Nathalia Moreira; GRASSI, Marcilia Sierro; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GUILHERME, Luisa; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda- Cytogenomics Investigation of Infants with Congenital Heart Disease: Experience of a Brazilian Center(2022) GRASSI, Marcilia Sierro; MONTENEGRO, Marilia; ZANARDO, Evelin Aline; PASTORINO, Antonio Carlos; DORNA, Mayra Barros; KIM, Chong; JATENE, Marcelo; MIURA, Nana; KULIKOWSKI, Leslie; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, MagdaBackground: Some syndromes have specific and easily recognizable features, while others may be more complex to identify and may present different phenotypic manifestations, for example. An etiological diagnosis is important to understand the nature of the disease, to establish the prognosis and to start the treatment, allowing the inclusion of patients in society and reducing the financial cost of such diseases. Objective: The initial proposal of this study was cytogenetic screening for the detection of the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in consecutive newborns and infants with congenital heart disease using the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technique. Therefore, throughout our research, other genomic alterations were identified in these cardiac patients. Thus, our objective was extended to investigate these other cytogenetic alterations. Methods: We investigated 118 neonates with congenital heart diseases born consecutively during one year using the MLPA technique. Results: The MLPA technique allowed the detection of 22q11.2DS in 10/118 patients (8.5%). Other genomic alterations were also identified in 6/118 patients (5%): 1p36 del, 8p23 del (2 cases), 7q dup, 12 dup and 8q24 dup. Conclusion: This study highlights the relevance of detecting genomic alterations that are present in newborns and infants with congenital cardiac diseases using cytogenomic tools.
- A novel mutation of IL1RN in the deficiency of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist syndrome: Description of two unrelated cases from Brazil(2011) JESUS, Adriana A.; OSMAN, Mazen; SILVA, Clovis A.; KIM, Peter W.; Tuyet-Hang Pham; GADINA, Massimo; YANG, Barbara; BERTOLA, Debora R.; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; FERGUSON, Polly J.; RENSHAW, Blair R.; SCHOOLEY, Ken; BROWN, Michael; AL-DOSARI, Asma; AL-ALAMI, Jamil; SIMS, John E.; GOLDBACH-MANSKY, Raphaela; EL-SHANTI, HatemObjective Monogenic autoinflammatory diseases are disorders of Mendelian inheritance that are characterized by mutations in genes that regulate innate immunity and whose typical features are systemic inflammation without high-titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. Skin and bone inflammation in the newborn period have been described in 3 of these autoinflammatory disorders: neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease, Majeed syndrome, and deficiency of interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (DIRA) syndrome. This study was undertaken to present the characteristics of the DIRA syndrome in 2 cases from Brazil, and describe a novel mutation in IL1RN. Methods. Two unrelated Brazilian patients were evaluated for the clinical signs and symptoms of these 3 disorders, and peripheral blood samples were assessed for mutations in NLRP3, LPIN2, and IL1RN by DNA resequencing analysis. A mutation in IL1RN that encodes a mutant protein was identified, and the expression and function of this mutant protein were compared to those of the wild-type protein. Results. Both patients presented with pustular dermatitis resembling generalized pustular psoriasis, recurrent multifocal aseptic osteomyelitis, and elevation in the levels of acute-phase reactants, all of which are features most consistent with the DIRA syndrome. Chronic lung disease was observed in 1 of the patients, and jugular venous thrombosis was observed in the other patient. Both patients showed a partial response to corticosteroid therapy, and 1 patient experienced an initial improvement of dermatitis with the use of acitretin. Both patients were homozygous for a novel 15-bp (in-frame) deletion on the IL1RN gene. The mutated protein expressed in vitro had no affinity with the IL-1 receptor, and stimulation of the patients' cells with recombinant human IL-1 alpha or IL-1 alpha led to oversecretion of proinflammatory cytokines, similar to the findings obtained in previously reported patients. Conclusion. The presence of the same homozygous novel mutation in IL1RN in 2 unrelated Brazilian patients suggests that this genetic variant may be a founder mutation that has been introduced in the Brazilian population.
conferenceObject TRISOMY 21-DRIVEN GENE EXPRESSION DYSREGULATION IN HUMAN THYMUS: CONVERGING GENOMIC AND EPIGENOMIC MECHANISMS(2016) MOREIRA-FILHO, Carlos Alberto; BANDO, Silvia Yumi; BERTONHA, Fernanda Bernardi; SILVA, Filipi Nascimento; COSTA, Luciano da Fontoura; FEREIRA, Leandro Rodrigues; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda- PEDIATRICIANS AFTER RESIDENCY: A SURVEY OF PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL DATA AND ISSUES(2021) SILVA, Clovis Artur; TRINDADE, Vitor Cavalcanti; ABEL, Roberta Capretz D’Oliveira; SILVA, Marcelo Oliveira; SANTOS, João Fernando Vecchi; KOCH, Vera Hermina Kalika; FERRER, Ana Paula Scoleze; BRENTANI, Alexandra; ODONE-FILHO, Vicente; TANNURI, Uenis; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; GRISI, Sandra Josefina Ferraz ElleroABSTRACT Objective: To assess personal, professional, medical, and scientific educational characteristics and issues reported by pediatricians. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on an online survey including 614 pediatricians who graduated in the last 15 years at a University Pediatric Department in Brazil. Results: The response rate was 331/614(54%). The majority were females (82%), the median age was 33 years (27-40) and median years of pediatric practice was 5 (1-13). High workload (>60 hours/week) occurred in 25% and 47% earned ≥15 minimum wages/month. The most work-related issues reported were long working hours, poor social life and a sedentary lifestyle (>50%). Pediatricians were further divided into two groups, according to years of pediatric clinical practice: group 1 (≤5 years) and group 2 (>5 years). The median of overall satisfaction with pediatric residency [8(0-10) vs. 9 (4-10); p=0.002] was significantly reduced in group 1. The frequencies of workload >60 hours, work on pediatric ward and pediatric intensive care were significantly higher in the first group (p<0.05). Regarding main issues related to clinical practice in the last year, long working hours (73 vs. 53%; p<0.001), poor social life (75 vs. 62%; p=0.018) and harassment (23 vs. 4%; p=0.003) were significantly higher in the first group. Conclusions: Very early career pediatricians (≤5 years) reported higher workload, lower income, work-related issues and different location of pediatric practice compared to early career pediatricians (>5 years). The overall satisfaction with pediatric residency was good, however, reduced in very early career pediatricians.
- The Extended Clinical Phenotype of 26 Patients with Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis due to Gain-of-Function Mutations in STAT1(2016) DEPNER, Mark; FUCHS, Sebastian; RAABE, Jan; FREDE, Natalie; GLOCKER, Cristina; DOFFINGER, Rainer; GKRANIA-KLOTSAS, Effrossyni; KUMARARATNE, Dinakantha; ATKINSON, T. Prescott; SCHROEDER JR., Harry W.; NIEHUES, Tim; DUECKERS, Gregor; STRAY-PEDERSEN, Asbjorg; BAUMANN, Ulrich; SCHMIDT, Reinhold; FRANCO, Jose L.; ORREGO, Julio; BEN-SHOSHAN, Moshe; MCCUSKER, Christine; JACOB, Cristina Miuki Abe; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; DEVLIN, Lisa A.; EDGAR, J. David M.; HENDERSON, Paul; RUSSELL, Richard K.; SKYTTE, Anne-Bine; SENEVIRATNE, Suranjith L.; WANDERS, Jennifer; STAUSS, Hans; MEYTS, Isabelle; MOENS, Leen; JESENAK, Milos; KOBBE, Robin; BORTE, Stephan; BORTE, Michael; WRIGHT, Dowain A.; HAGIN, David; TORGERSON, Troy R.; GRIMBACHER, BodoPurpose Gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) result in unbalanced STAT signaling and cause immune dysregulation and immunodeficiency. The latter is often characterized by the susceptibility to recurrent Candida infections, resulting in the clinical picture of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). This study aims to assess the frequency of GOF STAT1 mutations in a large international cohort of CMC patients. Methods STAT1 was sequenced in genomic DNA from 57 CMC patients and 35 healthy family members. The functional relevance of nine different STAT1 variants was shown by flow cytometric analysis of STAT1 phosphorylation in patients' peripheral blood cells (PBMC) after stimulation with interferon (IFN)-alpha, IFN-gamma or interleukin-27 respectively. Extended clinical data sets were collected and summarized for 26 patients. Results Heterozygous mutations within STAT1 were identified in 35 of 57 CMC patients (61 %). Out of 39 familial cases from 11 families, 26 patients (67 %) from 9 families and out of 18 sporadic cases, 9 patients (50 %) were shown to have heterozygous mutations within STAT1. Thirteen distinct STAT1 mutations are reported in this paper. Eight of these mutations are known to cause CMC (p.M202V, p.A267V, p.R274W, p.R274Q, p.T385M, p.K388E, p.N397D, and p.F404Y). However, five STAT1 variants (p.F172L, p.Y287D, p.P293S, p.T385K and p.S466R) have not been reported before in CMC patients. Conclusion STAT1 mutations are frequently observed in patients suffering from CMC. Thus, sequence analysis of STAT1 in CMC patients is advised. Measurement of IFN- or IL-induced STAT1 phosphorylation in PBMC provides a fast and reliable diagnostic tool and should be carried out in addition to genetic testing.
- Transplacental Total IgG Transfer in Twin Pregnancies(2014) STACH, Sonia C. L.; BRIZOT, Maria de L.; LIAO, Adolfo W.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; PALMEIRA, Patricia; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; ZUGAIB, MarceloProblemIn twin pregnancies, factors that influence total umbilical cord IgG concentration and IgG transfer ratio are not well known. MethodBlood samples were prospectively collected from 57 twin pregnancies. Stepwise multivariate regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between total IgG levels in the umbilical cord blood and IgG transfer ratio according to serum IgG concentration, pregnancy chorionicity, the presence of abnormal umbilical artery pulsatility index, intrauterine growth restriction, gestational age at delivery (GAD), birthweight, and placental weight. ResultsUmbilical cord IgG concentration showed a positive correlation with serum IgG concentration and GAD; levels were significantly lower in monochorionic compared with dichorionic pregnancies. IgG transfer ratio also increased with GAD but was inversely correlated with serum IgG concentration levels. ConclusionIn twin pregnancies, besides serum IgG concentration and GAD, chorionicity also influences umbilical cord IgG concentration. Monochorionic twins have lower IgG cord concentration than dichorionic twins.
conferenceObject Sexual Dimorphism and AIRE-AIRE Interactors-miRNA Coexpression Networks in the Infant Human Thymus(2019) BANDO, Silvia Y.; BERTONHA, Fernanda B.; OLIVEIRA, Lucila H. B.; MOREIRA-FILHO, Carlos Alberto; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda- Establishment of the bacterial fecal community during the first month of life in Brazilian newborns(2012) BRANDT, Katia; TADDEI, Carla R.; TAKAGI, Elizabeth H.; OLIVEIRA, Fernanda F.; DUARTE, Rubens T. D.; IRINO, Isabel; MARTINEZ, Marina B.; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, MagdaOBJECTIVE: The establishment of the intestinal microbiota in newborns is a critical period with possible long-term consequences for human health. In this research, the development of the fecal microbiota of a group of exclusively breastfed neonates living in low socio-economic conditions in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, during the first month of life, was studied. METHODS: Fecal samples were collected from ten neonates on the second, seventh, and 30th days after birth. One of the neonates underwent antibiotic therapy. Molecular techniques were used for analysis; DNA was extracted from the samples, and 16S rRNA libraries were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed after construction. A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on the samples taken from the 30th day to amplify DNA from Bifidobacterium sp. RESULTS: The primary phylogenetic groups identified in the samples were Escherichia and Clostridium. Staphylococcus was identified at a low rate. Bifidobacterium sp. was detected in all of the samples collected on the 30th day. In the child who received antibiotics, a reduction in anaerobes and Escherichia, which was associated with an overgrowth of Klebsiella, was observed throughout the experimental period. CONCLUSION: The observed pattern of Escherichia predominance and reduced Staphylococcus colonization is in contrast with the patterns observed in neonates living in developed countries.
