Examination of SMCHD1 variants and methylation of the SMCHD1-sensitive FSHD locus DUX4 in 187 FSHD2 families, 41 patients with BAMS and in control individuals. Analysis of variants in a three-dimensional model of the ATPase domain of SMCHD1.
DUX4 methylation analysis is essential to establish pathogenicity of SMCHD1 variants. Although the FSHD2 mutation spectrum includes all types of variants covering the entire SMCHD1 locus, missense variants are significantly enriched in the extended ATPase domain. Identification of recurrent variants suggests disease-specific residues for FSHD2 and in BAMS, consistent with a largely disease-specific localisation of variants in SMCHD1.
The localisation of missense variants within the ATPase domain of SMCHD1 may contribute to the differences in phenotypic outcome.
检查187个FSHD2家族中SMCHD1敏感的FSHD基因座DUX4的SMCHD1变体和甲基化,41例BAMS患者和对照个体。SMCHD1的ATPase结构域的三维模型中的变体分析。
DUX4甲基化分析对于建立SMCHD1变体的致病性至关重要。尽管FSHD2突变谱包括覆盖整个SMCHD1基因座的所有类型的变体,错义变体在延伸的ATP酶结构域中显著富集。复发性变异的鉴定表明FSHD2和BAMS中的疾病特异性残留,与SMCHD1中变异体的疾病特异性定位一致。
SMCHD1的ATPase结构域内错义变体的定位可能导致表型结果的差异。
