Somatic mosaicism

Оглавление

We are all somatic postzygotic mosaics, either born that way or later as a consequence of spontaneously occurring mutations during our lifetimes. Using single‐cell whole‐genome sequencing of B lymphocytes, Zhang et al.866 found that the number of somatic mutations increases from <500 per cell in newborns to >3,000 per cell in centenarians. These dynamic changes involving other tissues as well, are likely to be associated with cancer and aging,867 and many disorders (Table 1.8).

Somatic mosaicism has been described in almost all autosomal dominant disorders. Tissue‐ or organ‐specific segmental mosaicism explains certain overgrowth syndromes exemplified by the PIK3CA‐associated developmental disorders that result in focal overgrowth, brain overgrowth, or capillary malformations with overgrowth.868870

A remarkable example of focal growth due to somatic mosaicism was the hyperinsulinism noted in an infant without any signs of the Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. Following removal of 80 percent of the pancreas, atypical histological features with enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei in islets were observed. Methylation analysis, a chromosomal microarray, and short tandem repeat markers led to a diagnosis of mosaic segmental paternal uniparental disomy 11p15.5‐p15.1 in pancreatic tissue, but not in the infant's blood.871

Brain somatic mutations occurring during cortical development may result in sporadic intractable epilepsy.872 One study focused on the parents of children with Dravet syndrome due to SCN1A mutations.873 SCN1A mosaicism was found in 5.2 percent (30 out of 575) of families with affected children. Discovery of an oncogene (e.g. RB1) for retinoblastoma occurring in the absence of a family history, will inevitably lead to examination of the parents to determine recurrence risk. An analysis using targeted deep sequencing of the parents of 124 offspring with bilateral retinoblastoma revealed only one parent with somatic mosaicism for the deleterious RB1 mutation, a 0.4 percent risk of recurrence.874

Over 700 genes are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, some with epilepsy. Discovery of a putative de novo mutation now invariably leads to genomic evaluation of both parents in a search for somatic mosaicism. Disorders in this category include intellectual disability, epileptic encephalopathies, cerebral cortical malformations, and autism spectrum disorders.875, 876

In a study of 10,362 consecutive patients, over 1 in 200 were shown to have somatic mosaicism.877 In that study, mosaicism was detected for aneuploidy, ring or marker chromosomes, microdeletion/duplication copy number variations, exonic copy number variations, and unbalanced translocations. Examples include hypomelanosis of Ito, other syndromes with patchy pigmentary abnormalities of skin associated with intellectual disability, and some patients with asymmetric growth restriction.878, 879 Gonadal mosaicism (see Chapter 14) should be distinguished from somatic cell mosaicism in which there is also gonadal involvement. In such cases, the patient with somatic cell mosaicism is likely to have some signs, although possibly subtle, of the disorder in question, while those with gonadal mosaicism are not expected to show any signs of the disorder. Current methodologies for clinical and prenatal diagnosis invariably list detection of very low degrees of mosaicism in a caveat that accompanies the reports. Additional examples of somatic and gonadal mosaicism include autosomal dominant osteogenesis imperfecta,880, 881 Huntington disease,882 and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2.883 Lessons from these and the other examples quoted for gonadal mosaicism indicate a special need for caution in genetic counseling for disorders that appear to be sporadic (see Chapter 14).

Very careful examination of both parents for subtle indicators of the disorder in question is necessary, particularly in autosomal dominant and sex‐linked recessive conditions. The autosomal dominant disorders are associated with 50 percent risks of recurrence, while the sex‐linked disorders have 50 percent risk for males and 25 percent risk for recurrence in families. Pure gonadal mosaicism would likely yield risks considerably lower than these figures, such as 4–8 percent for females with gonadal mosaicism and X‐linked DMD. A second caution relating to counseling such patients with an apparent sporadic disorder is the offer of prenatal diagnosis (possibly limited) despite the inability to demonstrate the affected status of the parent.

Chromosomal mosaicism is discussed in Chapter 11 but note can be taken here of a possibly rare (and mostly undetected) autosomal trisomy. A history of subfertility with mostly mild dysmorphic features and normal intelligence has been reported in at least ten women with mosaic trisomy 18.884
