Titre : From man to fly - convergent evidence links FBXO25 to ADHD and comorbid psychiatric phenotypes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Benjamin HARICH, Auteur ; Marieke KLEIN, Auteur ; Charlotte W. OCKELOEN, Auteur ; Monique VAN DER VOET, Auteur ; Marlies SCHIMMEL-NABER, Auteur ; Nicole DE LEEUW, Auteur ; Annette SCHENCK, Auteur ; Barbara FRANKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.545-555 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Drosophila melanogaster Fbxo25 Tdrp Adhd psychiatric comorbidities Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Mental disorders, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), have a complex etiology, and identification of underlying genetic risk factors is challenging. This study used a multistep approach to identify and validate a novel risk gene for ADHD and psychiatric comorbidity. METHODS: In a single family, severely affected by ADHD and cooccurring disorders, we applied single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array analysis to detect copy-number variations (CNVs) linked to disease. Genes present in the identified CNV were subsequently tested for their association with ADHD in the largest data set currently available (n = 55,374); this gene-set and gene-based association analyses were based on common genetic variants. Significant findings were taken forward for functional validation using Drosophila melanogaster as biological model system, altering gene expression using the GAL4-UAS system and a pan-neuronal driver, and subsequently characterizing locomotor activity and sleep as functional readouts. RESULTS: We identified a copy number gain in 8p23.3, which segregated with psychiatric phenotypes in the family and was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. Common genetic variants in this locus were associated with ADHD, especially those in FBXO25 and TDRP. Overexpression of the FBXO25 orthologue in two Drosophila models consistently led to increased locomotor activity and reduced sleep compared with the genetic background control. CONCLUSIONS: We combine ADHD risk gene identification in an individual family with genetic association testing in a large case-control data set and functional validation in a model system, together providing an important illustration of an integrative approach suggesting that FBXO25 contributes to key features of ADHD and comorbid neuropsychiatric disorders.

Titre : LRFN5 locus structure is associated with autism and influenced by the sex of the individual and locus conversions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Helle LYBÆK, Auteur ; Michael ROBSON, Auteur ; Nicole DE LEEUW, Auteur ; Jayne Y. HEHIR-KWA, Auteur ; Aaron JEFFRIES, Auteur ; Bjørn Ivar HAUKANES, Auteur ; Siren BERLAND, Auteur ; Diederik DE BRUIJN, Auteur ; Stefan MUNDLOS, Auteur ; Malte SPIELMANN, Auteur ; Gunnar HOUGE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.421-433 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract LRFN5 is a regulator of synaptic development and the only gene in a 5.4 Mb mammalian-specific conserved topologically associating domain (TAD); the LRFN5 locus. An association between locus structural changes and developmental delay (DD) and/or autism was suggested by several cases in DECIPHER and own records. More significantly, we found that maternal inheritance of a specific LRFN5 locus haplotype segregated with an identical type of autism in distantly related males. This autism-susceptibility haplotype had a specific TAD pattern. We also found a male/female quantitative difference in the amount histone-3-lysine-9-associated chromatin around the LRFN5 gene itself (p?0.01), possibly related to the male-restricted autism susceptibility. To better understand locus behavior, the prevalence of a 60?kb deletion polymorphism was investigated. Surprisingly, in three cohorts of individuals with DD (n = 8757), the number of deletion heterozygotes was 20%?26% lower than expected from Hardy?Weinberg equilibrium. This suggests allelic interaction, also because the conversions from heterozygosity to wild-type or deletion homozygosity were of equal magnitudes. Remarkably, in a control group of medical students (n = 1416), such conversions were three times more common (p = 0.00001), suggesting a regulatory role of this allelic interaction. Taken together, LRFN5 regulation appears unusually complex, and LRFN5 dysregulation could be an epigenetic cause of autism. Lay Summary LRFN5 is involved with communication between brain cells. The gene sits alone in a huge genomic niche, called the LRFN5 locus, of complex structure and high mammalian conservation. We have found that a specific locus structure increases autism susceptibility in males, but we do not yet know how common this epigenetic cause of autism is. It is, however, a cause that potentially could explain why higher-functioning autism is more common in males than females.
