Description

Gene mutant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a gene mutant and application thereof. In particular, the invention relates to nucleic acids, genetic mutations, proteins, systems for screening biological samples for immunodeficiency disorders, agents for screening for treatment of immunodeficiency disorders, kits for screening biological samples for immunodeficiency disorders, biological models, constructs, and recombinant cells.
Background
Common Variant Immunodeficiency Disease (CVID) and selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) are the most common Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PID). The proportion of these two diseases is one quarter of the worldwide PID. CVID is mainly characterized by a reduction in serum immunoglobulins, especially IgA, igE and IgG, with a morbidity of about 1/50000.CVID clinical manifestations are highly heterogeneous, patients can develop recurrent mucosal infections, and 20% -30% of these are accompanied by autoimmune diseases, splenomegaly and malignancy. CVID inheritance patterns are variable, and it is now found that both normally-stained stealth inheritance and autosomal dominant inheritance are present. SIgAD is similar to CVID in terms of genetic patterns, either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant, or sporadic onset. The incidence rate of SIgAD has race specificity, the incidence rate of caucasian is about 1/223-1/1000, and Japanese is 1/18500; the prevalence of SIgAD in China is 1/4100.SIgAD patients may have no symptoms for a long period of time, and many patients only have upper respiratory tract infection; some patients develop various concomitant diseases, particularly autoimmune diseases (about 50%) and allergic diseases; some patients are accompanied by mental retardation and paresthesia, and are closely related to primary epilepsy; some patients also have asthma, and about 10% of patients with European asthma are diagnosed with SIgAD. Studies found that some SIgAD patients developed CVID and that CVID patients were found in other SIgAD families, evidence that CVID and SIgAD may be caused by the same genetic mutation.
Meanwhile, an exome refers to a collection of all exon regions of the human genome, comprising flanking sequences of protein coding and untranslated regions, which encompass most of the functional variations associated with the individual phenotype. The exome sequencing technology refers to a method for capturing and enriching exome sequences of human genome by utilizing a special probe and then performing high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis by utilizing a second generation sequencing technology. The human whole genome has 180,000 exons, accounting for 1% of the whole genome sequence, while 85% of the pathogenic mutations (particularly rare pathogenic variations) are located in this region. Therefore, for rare diseases such as CVID and SIgAD, the exome sequencing analysis is more economical and efficient than the whole genome sequencing analysis. Furthermore, with the same budget, the depth of exon sequencing is higher, which is more favorable for finding new pathogenic genes. The novel pathogenic genes discovered by the exome sequencing technology can be verified by adopting target gene association analysis in patients with large sample size and normal control, and more pathogenic sites can be discovered at lower sequencing cost.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, an object of the present invention is to propose a method capable of effectively screening biological samples suffering from immunodeficiency diseases.
The human Mendelian genetic database (OMIM) currently records 13 CVID subtypes, 13 pathogenic genes (CR 2, IRF2BP2, ICOS, NFKB1, IL21, LRBA, IKZF1, NFKB2, CD81, MS4A1, CD19, TNFRSF13B, and TNFRSF 13C). OMIM only records one pathogenic gene TNFRSF13B of SIgAD. However, although several CVIDs and one SIgAD causative gene have been found, the cause of the disease in many patients cannot be explained. Therefore, to improve early diagnosis and therapeutic effects of CVID and SIgAD, it is important to find more new pathogenic genes of CVID and SIgAD as soon as possible.
Based on the findings of the facts and problems described above, the inventors cloned a new pathogenic gene of CVID and SIgAD, RAD50, and found that CVID would occur if RAD50 of a biological sample had homozygosity c.379G > A or compound heterozygosity c.137T > A/c.1400G > A by high throughput exome sequencing; SIgAD can occur if a biological sample develops a complex heterozygous c.494C > A/c.980G > A for RAD 50.
The c.379G > A referred to in the present application means that the 379 th base of the coding region of the RAD50 gene is changed by homozygote G- > A; the 137T > A/c.0G > A means that the 137 th basic group of the coding region of the RAD50 gene is changed by heterozygous T- > A and the 980 th basic group of the coding region is changed by heterozygous G- > A; and c.494C > A/c.0G > A means that the 494 th base of the coding region of the RAD50 gene is changed by heterozygous C- > A and the 980 th base of the coding region is changed by heterozygous G- > A.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, the inventors cloned a novel CVID and SIgAD pathogenic gene RAD50 gene, and determined that mutation of RAD50 gene to at least one of the above was closely related to the onset of primary immunodeficiency diseases (CVID and SIgAD), so that by detecting the presence or absence of these mutants in biological samples, it was possible to effectively detect whether or not the biological samples were suffering from immunodeficiency diseases, particularly CVID and SIgAD.

The inventors cloned a novel CVID and SIgAD pathogenic gene-RAD 50 gene, and determined that mutation of RAD50 gene according to the embodiments of the present invention is closely related to primary immunodeficiency diseases, especially CVID and SIgAD pathogenesis, so that whether a biological sample suffers from primary immunodeficiency diseases, especially CVID and SIgAD can be effectively detected by detecting whether proteins expressing these mutated RAD50 genes exist in the biological sample.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the wild-type RAD50 gene sequence as used herein is based on the sequence of the wild-type RAD50 gene in the human genome, but when the wild-type RAD50 gene is present in other species, the sequence may be different, and the corresponding position in the wild-type RAD50 gene of the species may be obtained by comparing the wild-type RAD50 gene of the species with the human wild-type RAD50 gene.
Nucleic acid
According to a first aspect of the invention, the invention proposes a nucleic acid. According to an embodiment of the invention, the nucleic acid has at least one type of mutation compared to the wild-type RAD50 gene selected from the group consisting of: c.379G > A, c.137T > A/c.980G > A or c.494C > A/c.980G > A. It should be noted that the nucleic acid encoding the RAD50 mutant of the present invention may also be referred to as "nucleic acid encoding the RAD50 mutant", that is, the nucleic acid may be understood as a nucleic acid substance corresponding to a gene encoding the RAD50 mutant, that is, the type of the nucleic acid is not particularly limited, and may be any polymer comprising deoxyribonucleotides and/or ribonucleotides corresponding to a gene encoding the RAD50, including, but not limited to, DNA, RNA, or cDNA. According to a specific example of the invention, the nucleic acid encoding a RAD50 mutant as described above is DNA. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the inventors cloned a novel CVID and SIgAD pathogenic gene-RAD 50 gene, and determined that these RAD50 gene mutants are closely related to the onset of primary immunodeficiency diseases such as CVID and SIgAD, so that by detecting the presence of these mutants in a biological sample, whether the biological sample suffers from primary immunodeficiency diseases, particularly CVID and SIgAD, can be effectively detected.
For purposes of the present specification and claims, reference to a nucleic acid will be understood by those skilled in the art to include virtually any one, or both, of the complementary double strands. For convenience, in the present description and claims, although only one strand is shown in most cases, the other strand complementary thereto is actually disclosed. For example, reference to SEQ ID NO 10-SEQ ID NO 15 actually includes the complement thereof. One skilled in the art will also appreciate that one strand may be used to detect another strand and vice versa.
The inventors found that the RAD50 gene mutant has at least one type of mutation selected from the group consisting of: the 379 th basic group of the RAD50 gene coding region is subjected to homozygous G- > A change (c.379G > A); the 137 th basic group of the RAD50 gene coding region is changed by heterozygous T- > A and the 980 th basic group of the coding region is changed by heterozygous G- > A (c.137T > A/c.980G > A); the 494 th base of the coding region of RAD50 gene is changed by heterozygous C- > A and the 980 th base of the coding region is changed by heterozygous G- > A (c.494C > A/c.980G > A).
The inventor firstly proposes that the RAD50 gene is a pathogenic gene of CVID and SIgAD, and firstly discovers that the mutation of c.379G > A or c.137T > A/c.980G > A of the RAD50 gene can cause patients to suffer from CVID; c.494C > A/c.980G > A of the RAD50 gene may lead to SIgAD in patients.

Mutation analysis: after Sanger sequencing is carried out on the PCR amplified products, comparing standard sequences, and identifying whether the 379 th basic group of the coding region of the RAD50 gene of the patient P1 is subjected to G-A homozygous change, and whether the RAD50 gene of the patient P2 is subjected to c.137T > A heterozygous mutation and c.630G > A heterozygous change simultaneously;
7. collecting other CVID family samples (48) and normal control samples (1118), scanning the RAD50 gene, and finding that the pathogenic mutation of another CVID family patient is c.1114C > T of RAD 50; in view of the fact that SIgAD and CVID may have the same pathogenic gene, the inventors also collected 791 SIgAD patients, scanned their RAD50, and found pathogenic mutations for two SIgAD patients, composite heterozygous c.494c > a/c.980g > a and heterozygous c.3230g > a, respectively.
The inventors found that P1 makes a homozygous mutation c.379G > A in exon 4 of RAD50, which results in the substitution of valine (Val) at amino acid sequence 127 with isoleucine (Ile). Sanger sequencing found that the patient's mother carried heterozygous c.379G > A (the patient's father had gone), and that the patient's normal siblings had no such mutation (FIG. 5A). The pathogenic mutation of P2 is complex heterozygous, heterozygous mutation c.137T > A occurs in exon 2 and heterozygous mutation c.980G > A occurs in exon 7 of RAD50, which respectively results in substitution of isoleucine at amino acid sequence 46 with valine and substitution of arginine at 327 with histidine (FIG. 5B). The inventors collected 48 CVID patients, 791 SIgAD patients and 1118 normal controls, scanned for RAD50 genes from these samples, preserving sites with a frequency of less than one thousandth. The inventors found that the pathogenic mutation in patient P4 was a complex heterozygous for the pathogenic mutation in patient SIgAD family (fig. 4, family 3), c.284 c > a (p.165P > H) on exon 4 and c.630 g > a (p.327 r > H) on exon 7. RAD50 is a component of the nuclease complex MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN). MRN increases DNA double strand break damage repair efficiency by recruiting and activating ATM proteins. Patients with defects in ATM, MER11 or NBS1 were found to develop a range of symptoms of antibody deficiency including SIgAD, CVID and hyperimmune M syndrome. RAD50 has two major transcripts (ENST 00000265335 and ENST 00000453394). The protein products of these two transcripts are widely involved in a number of different physiological and biochemical pathways including DNA double strand break damage repair pathways, maintenance of telomerase activity, DNA single strand break damage repair pathways, meiotic recombination, and the like (fig. 6). The mutation sites found above have an effect on both transcripts. All mutation sites were found to be highly conserved across multiple species by alignment across species homology sequences (fig. 7); p.127V > I is located on the surface of protein RAD50, potentially disrupting its binding capacity to the ATPase-DNA binding domain (FIG. 8); isoleucine at position 46 of wild-type RAD50 was centered in the first alpha helical groove and hydrogen-bonded to position 26 (threonine), 34 (leucine), 156 (phenylalanine), 1229 (alanine), 1267 (isoleucine) of the protein sequence, respectively, so the p.46i > N mutation would disrupt these interactions, altering the tertiary structure and stability of the RAD50 protein product (fig. 8); the c.494c > a mutation results in a positively charged protein sequence at position 165, with a strongly polar histidine being replaced by an uncharged, non-polar proline, which is located next to the N-terminal nucleotidyl hydrolase domain, which is thought to play an important role in RAD50 binding to MER11 (fig. 8); arginine at position 327 (uncharged) is located in the N-terminal coiled-coil domain, replaced with positively charged histidine, a mutation which may be a minor allelic mutation.
