AB  - lt b gt Background: lt /b gt  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, whereas it is less common in adults. Identification of cytogenetic aberrations and a small number of molecular abnormalities are still the most important risk and therapy stratification methods in clinical practice today. Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides a large amount of data contributing to elucidation of mutational landscape of childhood (cALL) and adult ALL (aALL).  lt b gt Methods: lt /b gt  We analyzed DNA samples from 34 cALL and aALL patients, using NGS targeted sequencing TruSeq Amplicon - Cancer Panel (TSACP) which targets mutational hotspots in 48 cancer related genes.  lt b gt Results: lt /b gt  We identified a total of 330 variants in the coding regions, out of which only 95 were potentially protein-changing. Observed in individual patients, detected mutations predominantly disrupted Ras/RTK pathway (STK11, KIT, MET, NRAS, KRAS, PTEN). Additionally, we identified 5 patients with the same mutation in HNF1A gene, disrupting both Wnt and Notch signaling pathway. In two patients we detected variants in NOTCH1 gene. HNF1A and NOTCH1 variants were mutually exclusive, while genes involved in Ras/RTK pathway exhibit a tendency of mutation accumulation.  lt b gt Conclusions: lt /b gt  Our results showed that ALL contains low number of mutations, without significant differences between cALL and aALL (median per patient 2 and 3, respectively). Detected mutations affect few key signaling pathways, primarily Ras/RTK cascade. This study contributes to knowledge of ALL mutational landscape, leading to better understanding of molecular basis of this disease.

AB  - Background: Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations in SLC37A4 coding for the glucose-6-phosphate transporter. Neutropenia represents major feature of GSD-Ib along with metabolic disturbances. Previous research in GSD-Ib patients did not reveal significant genotype-phenotype correlation. Our objective was to explore the frequency and severity of neutropenia and it's complications in relation to genotype of GSD-Ib patients. Methods: We estimated cumulative incidence of neutropenia and severe neutropenia, relation of genotype to absolute neutrophil count (ANC), and dynamics of ANC during serious bacterial infections (SBI) in a cohort of Serbian GSD Ib patients. Impact of genotype on GSD Ib-related inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was also assessed. Results: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)  lt  1500/mm(3) was present in all 33 patients, with severe neutropenia (ANC  lt  500/mm(3)) occurring in 60.6% of patients. The median age at neutropenia onset was 24 months, while severe neutropenia developed at median of 4.5 years. The ANC was elevated during 90.5% episodes of SBI. Genotypes c.81T  gt  A/c.785G  gt  A and c.81T  gt  A/c.1042_1043delCT are associated with earlier onset of neutropenia. Patients carrying c.785G  gt  A mutation express a higher capacity for ANC increase during SBI. Inflammatory bowel disease was diagnosed in 8 patients (24.2% of total) with median age of onset at 7 years. Risk for IBD occurrence was not significantly affected by gender, genotype and severity of neutropenia. Conclusions: We may conclude that certain mutations in SLC37A4 influence the risk for severe neutropenia occurrence but also affect the capacity to increase ANC during SBI.

AB  - Primarna cilijarna diskinezija (PCD) predstavlja retku bolest koja se nasleđuje na autozomno recesivan način ili je nasleđivanje vezano za hromozom X, i predominantno utiče na funkcionisanje pluća, reproduktivnih organa i na lateralnost unutrašnjih organa. PCD je klinički i genetički veoma heterogen poremećaj koji se javlja odmah po rođenju, a karakteriše se promenama na motornim cilijama koje su posledica patogenih varijanti u genima koji kodiraju za proteine koji su neophodni za pravilnu strukturu i funkciju ovih organela. Do sada je opisano 38 gena uzročnika bolesti koje su odgovorne za nastanak PCD-a, a smatra se da je taj broj mnogo veći s obzirom da 2500 proteina učestvuje u izgradnji i pravilnom funkcionisanju cilija. Velika raznolikost kliničke slike PCD pacijenata često dovodi do odloženog uspostavljanja precizne dijagnoze ove bolesti, a nije retkost i da pacijenti sa drugim bolestima pluća budu okarakterisani kao PCD pacijenti. Genetički profil ove bolesti kod pacijenata sa teritorije Srbije do sada nije utvrđen, pa je identifikacija gena uzročnika neophodna. Stoga je u okviru ove teze urađeno genomsko profilisanje pacijenata sa primarnom cilijarnom diskinezijom u cilju razvoja genetičkog algoritma koji bi, osim opisanih patogenih genetičkih varijanti i gena uzročnika, obuhvatio i novootkrivene varijante u kodirajućim regionima gena uzročnika PCD-a i gena kandidata za PCD. Sve ovo omogućava razvoj strategije za diferencijalnu dijagnozu PCD-a i drugih bolesti pluća suspektnih na ciliopatije koji se klinički manifestuju kao PCD.

AB  - Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disease that is inherited in autosomal recessive manner or the inheritance is X-linked, and predominantly affects the functioning of the lungs, reproductive organs and the laterality of the internal organs. PCD is clinically and genetically very heterogeneous disorder that occurs immediately after birth, and is characterized by alterations in motor cilia due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding proteins that are necessary for the proper structure and function of these organelles. So far, there have been described 38 PCD-causative genes, and this number is considered to be much higher given that 2500 proteins participate in the formation and functioning of the cilia. Clinical heterogeneity of PCD patients often leads to the delayed establishment of a precise diagnosis of the disease, and it is not unusual that patients with other lung diseases are classified as PCD patients. The genetic background of the disease in patients with Serbian descent has not been established so far, so the mutational profile involved in the pathogenesis of PCD is necessary. Therefore, within this thesis, genomic profiling of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia was performed in order to develop a genetic algorithm that, in addition to the described disease-causing pathogenic genetic variants and genes, would include novel variants in the coding regions of PCD-causative and candidate genes. This approach allows the establishment of a strategy for the differential diagnosis of PCD and other lung diseases suspected to ciliopathies that are clinically manifested as PCD. Functional characterization of a novel potentially pathogenic variant in PCD disease-causing genes and genes that have not been associated with PCD so far, but could be associated with the characteristic phenotype of PCD, was performed. One of the main features of PCD is ultrastructural defects of cilia leading to ciliary immotility, abnormal motility, or their absence...

AB  - Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type I is inborn metabolic disease characterized by accumulation of glycogen in multiple organs. We analyzed 38 patients with clinical suspicion of GSD I using Sanger and next-generation sequencing (NGS). We identified 28 GSD Ib and 5 GSD Ia patients. In 5 patients, GSD III, VI, IX, cholesteryl-ester storage disease and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome diagnoses were set using NGS. Incidences for GSD Ia and GSD Ib were estimated at 1:172746 and 1:60461 live-births, respectively. Two variants were identified in G6PC gene: c.247C gt T (p.Arg83Cys) and c.518T gt C (p.Leu173Pro). In SLC37A4 gene, 6 variants were detected. Three previously reported variants c.81T gt A (p.Asn27Lys), c.162C gt A (p.Ser54Arg) and c.1042_1043delCT (p.Leu348Valfs*53) accounted for 87% of all analyzed alleles. Computational, transcription studies and/or clinical presentation in patients confirmed pathogenic effect of 3 novel variants: c.248G gt A (p.Gly83Glu), c.404G gt A (p.Gly135Asp) and c.785G gt A (p.Ser263Glyfs*33 or p.Gly262Asp). In the cohort, hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia and failure to thrive were the most frequent presenting signs of GSD Ia, while hepatomegaly and recurrent bacterial infections were clinical hallmarks of GSD Ib. All GSD Ib patients developed neutropenia while 20.6% developed inflammatory bowel disease. Our study revealed the highest worldwide incidence of GSD Ib. Furthermore, description of 3 novel variants will facilitate medical genetic practice.

AB  - Treatment with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is the latest therapeutic option approved for patients with phenylketonuria (PKU)-one of the most frequent inborn metabolic diseases. PKU or phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency is caused by mutations in the PAH gene. Given that some PAH mutations are responsive to BH4 treatment while others are non-responsive, for every novel mutation that is discovered it is essential to confirm its pathogenic effect and to assess its responsiveness to a BH4 treatment in vitro, before the drug is administered to patients. We found a c.676C gt A (p.Gln226Lys) mutation in the PAH gene in two unrelated patients with PKU. The corresponding aberrant protein has never been functionally characterized in vitro and its response to BH4 treatment is unknown. Computational analyses proposed that glutamine at position 226 is an important, evolutionary conserved amino acid while the substitution with lysine probably disturbs tertiary protein structure and impacts posttranslational PAH modifications. Using hepatoma cellular model, we demonstrated that the amount of mutant p.Gln226Lys PAH detected by Western blot was only 1.2% in comparison to wild-type PAH. The addition of sepiapterin, intracellular precursor of BH4, did not increase PAH protein yield thus marking p.Gln226Lys as BH4-non-responsive mutation. Therefore, computational, experimental, and clinical data were all in accordance showing that p.Gln226Lys is a severe pathogenic PAH mutation. Its non-responsiveness to BH4 treatment in hepatoma cellular model should be considered when deciding treatment options for PKU patients carrying this mutation. Consequently, our study will facilitate clinical genetic practice, particularly genotype-based stratification of PKU treatment.

AB  - The age-specific differences in the genetic mechanisms of myeloid leukemogenesis have been observed and studied previously. However, NGS technology has provided a possibility to obtain a large amount of mutation data. We analyzed DNA samples from 20 childhood (cAML) and 20 adult AML (aAML) patients, using NGS targeted sequencing. The average coverage of high-quality sequences was 2981 x per amplicon. A total of 412 (207 cAML, 205 aAML) variants in the coding regions were detected; out of which, only 122 (62 cAML and 60 aAML) were potentially protein-changing. Our results confirmed that AML contains small number of genetic alterations (median 3 mutations/patient in both groups). The prevalence of the most frequent single gene AML associated mutations differed in cAML and aAML patient cohorts: IDH1 (0 % cAML, 5 % aAML), IDH2 (0 % cAML, 10 % aAML), NPM1 (10 % cAML, 35 % aAML). Additionally, potentially protein-changing variants were found in tyrosine kinase genes or genes encoding tyrosine kinase associated proteins (JAK3, ABL1, GNAQ, and EGFR) in cAML, while among aAML, the prevalence is directed towards variants in the methylation and histone modifying genes (IDH1, IDH2, and SMARCB1). Besides uniform genomic profile of AML, specific genetic characteristic was exclusively detected in cAML and aAML.

The prevalence of the most frequent single gene AML associated mutations differed in cAML and aAML patient cohorts: IDH1 (0 % cAML, 5 % aAML), IDH2 (0 % cAML, 10 % aAML), NPM1 (10 % cAML, 35 % aAML). Additionally, potentially protein-changing variants were found in tyrosine kinase genes or genes encoding tyrosine kinase associated proteins (JAK3, ABL1, GNAQ, and EGFR) in cAML, while among aAML, the prevalence is directed towards variants in the methylation and histone modifying genes (IDH1, IDH2, and SMARCB1). Besides uniform genomic profile of AML, specific genetic characteristic was exclusively detected in cAML and aAML.",

AB  - Specific mitochondrial enzymatic deficiencies in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids cause methylmalonic aciduria (MMA), propionic acidemia (PA) and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). Disease-causing mutations were identified in nine unrelated branched-chain organic acidurias (BCOA) patients. We detected eight previously described mutations: p.Asn219Tyr, p.Arg369His p.Val553Glyfs*17 in MUT, p.Thr198Serfs*6 in MMAA, p.Ile144_Leu181del in PCCB, p.Gly288Valfs*11, p.Tyr438Asn in BCKDHA and p.Ala137Val in BCKDHB gene. Interestingly, we identified seven novel genetic variants: p.Leu549Pro, p.Glu564*, p.Leu641Pro in MUT, p.Tyr206Cys in PCCB, p.His194Arg, p.Val298Met in BCKDHA and p.Glu286_Met290del in BCKDHB gene. In silico and/or eukaryotic expression studies confirmed pathogenic effect of all novel genetic variants. Aberrant enzymes p.Leu549Pro MUT, p.Leu641Pro MUT and p.Tyr206Cys PCCB did not show residual activity in activity assays. In addition, activity of MUT enzymes was not rescued in the presence of vitamin B12 precursor in vitro which was in accordance with non-responsiveness or partial responsiveness of patients to vitamin B12 therapy. Our study brings the first molecular genetic data and detailed phenotypic characteristics for MMA, PA and MSUD patients for Serbia and the whole South-Eastern European region. Therefore, our study contributes to the better understanding of molecular landscape of BCOA in Europe and to general knowledge on genotype-phenotype correlation for these rare diseases.

AB  - The existence of a potential primary central nervous system lymphoma-specific genomic signature that differs from the systemic form of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been suggested, but is still controversial. We investigated 19 patients with primary DLBCL of central nervous system (DLBCL CNS) using the TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel (TSACP) for 48 cancer-related genes. Next generation sequencing (NGS) analyses have revealed that over 80% of potentially protein-changing mutations were located in eight genes (CTNNB1, PIK3CA, PTEN, ATM, KRAS, PTPN11, TP53 and JAK3), pointing to the potential role of these genes in lymphomagenesis. TP53 was the only gene harboring mutations in all 19 patients. In addition, the presence of mutated TP53 and ATM genes correlated with a higher total number of mutations in other analyzed genes. Furthermore, the presence of mutated ATM correlated with poorer event-free survival (EFS) (p = 0.036). The presence of the mutated SMO gene correlated with earlier disease relapse (p = 0.023), inferior event-free survival (p = 0.011) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.017), while mutations in the PTEN gene were associated with inferior OS (p = 0.048). Our findings suggest that the TP53 and ATM genes could be involved in the molecular pathophysiology of primary DLBCL CNS, whereas mutations in the PTEN and SMO genes could affect survival regardless of the initial treatment approach.
