PG - 370-380 LID - 10.1159/000522011 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: The accurate detection of breakpoint regions of disease-associated chromosomal rearrangements helps understand the molecular mechanisms and identify the risks involved with disrupted genes. METHODS: In this study, a girl with growth retardation is characterized using positional cloning and genome sequencing. The techniques include fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with paint (WCP) and bacterial-artificial chromosomes (BAC) probes, PCR, real-time PCR, and short and long-read sequencing. RESULTS: The translocation was identified by GTG banding and confirmed by WCP FISH. Microarray ruled out the involvement of other copy number variations except for 6 homozygous regions which are not disease-causing variants. Fine mapping with FISH showed split signals with BAC clone RP11-312A3. Genome sequencing of short-read with an average 30x depth and long-read sequencing technology with a 3.8x coverage identified both breakpoints, confirmed by Sanger sequencing, that showed microhomology. The breakpoint at 1p and 12p regions disrupted EYA3 and EFCAB4B genes. Expression analysis of EYA3 showed a 7-fold increase, suggesting the formation of a fusion gene with EFCAB4B. EYA3 is involved in skeleton development, and EFCAB4B plays a role in calcium metabolism, which may be relevant for the patient's phenotype. CONCLUSION: The systematic application of genome techniques to translocations and their advantages is discussed. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 by S. Karger AG, Basel.
