Delineation of the critical interval of Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 (BBS1) to a small region of 11q13, through linkage and haplotype analysis of 91 pedigrees. (1/151)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disease characterized primarily by atypical retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, and mental retardation. Despite the presence of at least five loci in the human genome, on chromosomes 2q, 3p, 11q, 15q and 16q, as many as 50% of the mutations appear to map to the BBS1 locus on 11q13. The recessive mode of inheritance and the genetic heterogeneity of the syndrome, as well as the inability to distinguish between different genetic loci by phenotypic analyses, have hindered efforts to delineate the 11q13 region as a first step toward cloning the mutated gene. To circumvent these difficulties, we collected a large number of BBS pedigrees of primarily North American and European origin and performed genetic analysis, using microsatellites from all known BBS genomic regions. Heterogeneity analysis established a 40.5% contribution of the 11q13 locus to BBS, and haplotype construction on 11q-linked pedigrees revealed several informative recombinants, defining the BBS1 critical interval between D11S4205 and D11S913, a genetic distance of 2.9 cM, equivalent to approximately 2.6 Mb. Loss of identity by descent in two consanguineous pedigrees was also observed in the region, potentially refining the region to 1.8 Mb between D11S1883 and D11S4944. The identification of multiple recombinants at the same position forms the basis for physical mapping efforts, coupled with mutation analysis of candidate genes, to identify the gene for BBS1.

A founder effect in the newfoundland population reduces the Bardet-Biedl syndrome I (BBS1) interval to 1 cM. (2/151)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder; major phenotypic findings include dysmorphic extremities, retinal dystrophy, obesity, male hypogenitalism, and renal anomalies. In the majority of northern European families with BBS, the syndrome is linked to a 26-cM region on chromosome 11q13. However, the finding, so far, of five distinct BBS loci (BBS1, 1q; BBS2, 16q; BBS3, 3p; BBS4, 15q; BBS5, 2q) has hampered the positional cloning of these genes. We use linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping in an isolated founder population in Newfoundland to significantly reduce the BBS1 critical region. Extensive haplotyping in several unrelated BBS families of English descent revealed that the affected members were homozygous for overlapping portions of a rare, disease-associated ancestral haplotype on chromosome 11q13. The LD data suggest that the BBS1 gene lies in a 1-Mb, sequence-ready region on chromosome 11q13, which should enable its identification. (+info)

New criteria for improved diagnosis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome: results of a population survey. (3/151)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive condition characterised by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal dysfunction. BBS expression varies both within and between families and diagnosis is often difficult. We sought to define the condition more clearly by studying 109 BBS patients and their families, the largest population surveyed to date. The average age at diagnosis was 9 years, which is late for such a debilitating condition, but the slow development of the clinical features of BBS probably accounts for this. Postaxial polydactyly had been present in 69% of patients at birth, but obesity had only begun to develop at around 2-3 years, and retinal degeneration had not become apparent until a mean age of 8.5 years. Our study identified some novel clinical features, including neurological, speech, and language deficits, behavioural traits, facial dysmorphism, and dental anomalies. In the light of these features we propose a revision of the diagnostic criteria, which may facilitate earlier diagnosis of this disorder. We present evidence for an overlapping phenotype with the Laurence-Moon syndrome and propose a unifying, descriptive label be adopted (polydactyly-obesity-kidney-eye syndrome). We report an increased prevalence of renal malformations and renal cell carcinoma in the unaffected relatives of BBS patients and suggest that these may be a consequence of heterozygosity for BBS genes. Our findings have important implications for the care of BBS patients and their unaffected relatives. (+info)

Renal cancer and malformations in relatives of patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome. (4/151)

BACKGROUND: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder with five loci identified thus far. The spectrum of disease includes diverse malformations of the kidney and lower urinary tract. The incidence of BBS is approximately 1/100,000 with a predicted heterozygote frequency of 1/160, and it has been suggested that heterozygotes are at increased risk of obesity and hypertension. METHODS: We describe renal disease in relatives of 109 UK BBS patients. Using PCR with fluorescent microsatellite markers we amplified DNA derived from renal tumours of affected parents to determine whether there was loss of heterozygosity at any of four BBS loci and two other gene loci associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CC-RCC). RESULTS: CC-RCC was diagnosed in three of 180 BBS parents and there was loss of heterozygosity at BBS1 (11q13) in the tumour tissue of one of these subjects. In addition, there was a high incidence of renal agenesis in siblings of BBS patients and two BBS families were identified with apparently dominant inheritance of renal malformations. In one family we were able to demonstrate that renal malformations segregated with the BBS2 locus (16q21). CONCLUSIONS: Since all parents and two-thirds of siblings of BBS patients must be heterozygous for BBS mutations, our observations may implicate BBS genes in the pathogenesis of both renal cancer and malformations, both disorders of precursor cell growth and differentiation. We suggest these observations may have important implications for screening potential BBS carriers for kidney disease and may lead to a greater understanding of the aetiology of renal disease in the general population.

Genetic and mutational analyses of a large multiethnic Bardet-Biedl cohort reveal a minor involvement of BBS6 and delineate the critical intervals of other loci. (5/151)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily by obesity, polydactyly, retinal dystrophy, and renal disease. The significant genetic and clinical heterogeneity of this condition have substantially hindered efforts to positionally clone the numerous BBS genes, because the majority of available pedigrees are small and the disorder cannot be assigned to any of the six known BBS loci. Consequently, the delineation of critical BBS intervals, which would accelerate the discovery of the underlying genetic defect(s), becomes difficult, especially for loci with minor contributions to the syndrome. We have collected a cohort of 163 pedigrees from diverse ethnic backgrounds and have evaluated them for mutations in the recently discovered BBS6 gene (MKKS) on chromosome 20 and for potential assignment of the disorder to any of the other known BBS loci in the human genome. Using a combination of mutational and haplotype analysis, we describe the spectrum of BBS6 alterations that are likely to be pathogenic; propose substantially reduced critical intervals for BBS2, BBS3, and BBS5; and present evidence for the existence of at least one more BBS locus. Our data also suggest that BBS6 is a minor contributor to the syndrome and that some BBS6 alleles may act in conjunction with mutations at other BBS loci to cause or modify the BBS phenotype.

Positional cloning of a novel gene on chromosome 16q causing Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS2). (6/151)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder with the primary clinical features of obesity, pigmented retinopathy, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, mental retardation and renal anomalies. Associated features of the disorder include diabetes mellitus, hypertension and congenital heart disease. There are six known BBS loci, mapping to chromosomes 2, 3, 11, 15, 16 and 20. The BBS2 locus was initially mapped to an 18 cM interval on chromosome 16q21 with a large inbred Bedouin kindred. Further analysis of the Bedouin population allowed for the fine mapping of this locus to a 2 cM region distal to marker D16S408. Physical mapping and sequence analysis of this region resulted in the identification of a number of known genes and expressed sequence tag clusters. Mutation screening of a novel gene (BBS2) with a wide pattern of tissue expression revealed homozygous mutations in two inbred pedigrees, including the large Bedouin kindred used to initially identify the BBS2 locus. In addition, mutations were found in three of 18 unrelated BBS probands from small nuclear families. (+info)

09/15: Comparative genomics of a conserved chromosomal region associated with a complex human phenotype. (7/151)

Three genes that encode related immunoglobulin superfamily molecules have recently been mapped to human chromosome 15 in the region q22.3-q23 and to the syntenic region on mouse chromosome 9. These genes presumably derived from gene duplications, and they are highly similar to Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC), which functions as an axon guidance molecule during development of the nervous system. To find out whether additional genes of this class were present in a chromosomal cluster, we produced a comparative physical map within the region of synteny between mouse chromosome 9 and human chromosome 15. This interval overlaps the critical region for the fourth genetic locus for Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS4) in humans. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (OMIM 600374) is characterized by poly/syn/brachydactyly, retinal degeneration, hypogonadism, mental retardation, obesity, diabetes, and kidney abnormalities.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mental retardation, obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly and syndactyly, diabetes mellitus, hypogenitalism, renal dysplasia and short stature. Definitive molecular diagnosis for BBS is not currently available and counseling of affected families is based on the 25% recurrence risk consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. Our case presents the first successful use of second trimester targeted sonographic anatomy scanning to prospectively identify a fetus affected with BBS, and indicates that ultrasound can be of critical importance in providing precise as well as timely prenatal diagnosis for families at risk for this serious disorder.
