    <p>A: HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with wild-type EDNRB isoform 1 (Iso 1) or mutant EDNRB isoform 1 (M1V). Signals were observed at the plasma membrane in cells expressing wild-type isform 1 while signals were detected in the cytosol in cells transfected with mutant isoform 1. B: HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with wild-type EDNRB isoform 3 (Iso 3) or mutant EDNRB isoform 3 (M91V). Signals were found in the cytosol in cells transfected with either wild-type or mutant isoform 3. C. HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with GFP vector only. Shown are the representative iamges. Bars, 50 µm.</p

    Genome-Wide Copy Number Analysis Uncovers a New HSCR Gene: <em>NRG3</em>

    <div><p>Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital disorder characterized by aganglionosis of the distal intestine. To assess the contribution of copy number variants (CNVs) to HSCR, we analysed the data generated from our previous genome-wide association study on HSCR patients, whereby we identified <em>NRG1</em> as a new HSCR susceptibility locus. Analysis of 129 Chinese patients and 331 ethnically matched controls showed that HSCR patients have a greater burden of rare CNVs (<em>p</em> = 1.50×10<sup>−5</sup>), particularly for those encompassing genes (<em>p</em> = 5.00×10<sup>−6</sup>). Our study identified 246 rare-genic CNVs exclusive to patients. Among those, we detected a <em>NRG3</em> deletion (<em>p</em> = 1.64×10<sup>−3</sup>). Subsequent follow-up (96 additional patients and 220 controls) on <em>NRG3</em> revealed 9 deletions (combined <em>p</em> = 3.36×10<sup>−5</sup>) and 2 <em>de novo</em> duplications among patients and two deletions among controls. Importantly, <em>NRG3</em> is a paralog of <em>NRG1</em>. Stratification of patients by presence/absence of HSCR–associated syndromes showed that while syndromic–HSCR patients carried significantly longer CNVs than the non-syndromic or controls (<em>p</em> = 1.50×10<sup>−5</sup>), non-syndromic patients were enriched in CNV number when compared to controls (<em>p</em> = 4.00×10<sup>−6</sup>) or the syndromic counterpart. Our results suggest a role for <em>NRG3</em> in HSCR etiology and provide insights into the relative contribution of structural variants in both syndromic and non-syndromic HSCR. This would be the first genome-wide catalog of copy number variants identified in HSCR.</p> </div

    <p>(A) Intensity signals of 5 HSCR patients (CN = 1; red) with <i>NRG3</i> deletions together with other samples of normal copy number (CN = 2; grey). Deleted regions are shown by the dark red bar and are highlighted in pink. (B) Consensus CNV segments of the 5 <i>NRG3</i> deletions (red) and the overlapping DGV segments (blue; with DGV ID). (C, D and E) Box plot of <i>NRG3</i> copy number estimates by real-time PCR. Samples were grouped according to the called copy number states (CN = 1, red; CN = 2, white; CN = 3, blue); (C) Validation of 5 deletions (CN = 1) and 24 copy-neutral (CN = 2) HSCR patients in the discovery phase; (D) Follow-up analysis on independent case-controls set and (E) Transmission analysis for probands with <i>NRG3</i> deletions (child CN = 1) or duplications (child CN = 3). (F) Sequence of the <i>NRG3</i> deletion boundary region showing the breakpoint (upstream boundary chr10: 84032610; downstream boundary chr10: 84052262).</p
