Structural variations in a non-coding region at 1q32.1 are responsible for the NYS7 locus in two large families.

Abstract:

:Congenital motor nystagmus (CMN) is characterized by early-onset bilateral ocular oscillations without other ocular deficits. To date, mutations in only one gene have been identified to be responsible for CMN, i.e., FRMD7 for X-linked CMN. Four loci for autosomal dominant CMN, including NYS7 (OMIM 614826), have been mapped but the causative genes have yet to be identified. NYS7 was mapped to 1q32.1 based on independent genome-wide linkage scan on two large families with CMN. In this study, mutations in all known protein-coding genes, both intronic sequence with predicted effect and coding sequence, in the linkage interval were excluded by whole-genome sequencing. Then, long-read genome sequencing based on the Nanopore platform was performed with a sample from each of the two families. Two deletions with an overlapping region of 775,699 bp, located in a region without any known protein-coding genes, were identified in the two families in the linkage region. The two deletions as well as their breakpoints were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and co-segregated with CMN in the two families. The 775,699 bp deleted region contains uncharacterized non-protein-coding expressed sequences and pseudogenes but no protein-coding genes. However, Hi-C data predicted that the deletions span two topologically associated domains and probably lead to a change in the 3D genomic architecture. These results provide novel evidence of a strong association between structural variations in non-coding genomic regions and human hereditary diseases like CMN with a potential mechanism involving changes in 3D genome architecture, which provides clues regarding the molecular pathogenicity of CMN.
