Osteogenesis imperfecta (imperfect osteogenesis in the Russian literature) is the most common hereditary form of bone fragility, it is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease with a wide range of clinical severity, often leading to disability from early childhood. It is based on genetic disorders leading to a violation of the structure of bone tissue, which leads to frequent fractures, impaired growth and posture, with the development of characteristic disabling bone deformities and associated problems, including respiratory, neurological, cardiac, renal impairment, hearing loss. Osteogenesis imperfecta occurs in both men and women, the disease is inherited in both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive types, there are sporadic cases of the disease due to de novomutations, as well as X-linked forms. The term “osteogenesis imperfecta” was coined by W. Vrolick in the 1840s. The first classification of the disease was made in 1979 and has been repeatedly reviewed due to the identification of the molecular cause of the disease and the discovery of new mechanisms for the development of osteogenesis imperfecta. In the early 1980s, mutations in two genes of collagen type I (COL1A1and COL1A2) were first associated with an autosomal dominant inheritance type of osteogenesis imperfecta. Since then, 18 more genes have been identified whose products are involved in the formation and mineralization of bone tissue. The degree of genetic heterogeneity of the disease has not yet been determined, researchers continue to identify new genes involved in its pathogenesis, the number of which has reached 20. In the last decade, it has become known that autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant and X-linked mutations in a wide range of genes, encoding proteins that are involved in the synthesis of type I collagen, its processing, secretion and post-translational modification, as well as in proteins that regulate the differentiation and activity of bone-forming cells, cause imperfect osteogenesis. A large number of causative genes complicated the classical classification of the disease and, due to new advances in the molecular basis of the disease, the classification of the disease is constantly being improved. In this review, we systematized and summarized information on the results of studies in the field of clinical and genetic aspects of osteogenesis imperfecta and reflected the current state of the classification criteria for diagnosing the disease.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disease of bone characterized by increased bone fragility. Here, we report the results of the molecular architecture of osteogenesis imperfecta research in patients from Bashkortostan Republic, Russia. In total, 16 mutations in COL1A1, 11 mutations in COL1A2, and 1 mutation in P3H1 and IFIMT5 genes were found in isolated states; 11 of them were not previously reported in literature. We found mutations in CLCN7, ALOX12B, PLEKHM1, ERCC4, ARSB, PTH1R, and TGFB1 that were not associated with OI pathogenesis in patients with increased bone fragility. Additionally, we found combined mutations (c.2869C>T, p. Gln957* in COL1A1 and c.1197+5G>A in COL1A2; c.579delT, p. Gly194fs in COL1A1 and c.1197+5G>A in COL1A2; c.2971G>C, p. Gly991Arg in COL1A2 and с.212G>C, p.Ser71Thr in FGF23; c.-14C>T in IFITM5 and c.1903C>T, p. Arg635* in LAMB3) in 4 patients with typical OI clinic phenotypes.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a large group of genetically heterogeneous diseases resulting from decreased bone density and an abnormal microarchitecture, which are clinically manifested by abnormal bone fractures. A distinctive clinical feature of this group of diseases is the presence of spontaneous fractures and skeletal deformities. However, the clinical manifestations of different types of OI are characterized by marked polymorphism with variable severity of skeletal and extra-skeletal features. Previous studies have shown that a mutation (c.-14C>T) in the IFITM5 gene is responsible for autosomal dominant OI type V. However, the mutation has a variable expression pattern and marked clinical heterogeneity. In this study, a clinical and genetic analysis of 12 cases with molecularly confirmed OI type V from 12 unrelated families was performed. Significant clinical heterogeneity of the disease with the same molecular defect was detected. In six subjects (50%), there were no classic signs of OI type V (formation of a hyperplastic bone callus, calcification of the interosseous membrane and dislocation of the radial head). In all cases, the mutation occurred de novo.
Несовершенный остеогенез (НО) (МКБ-10: Q78.0, несовершенный остеогенез) - клинически и генетически гетерогенное наследственное заболевание соединительной ткани, в основе которого лежат генетические изменения, приводящие к нарушению структуры костной ткани. Идентифицирован 21 ген, вовлеченный в патогенез НО, но пока не выяснена степень генетической гетерогенности заболевания. Целью исследования являются поиск молекулярной причины НО и определение типа наследования и клинической формы заболевания на основе анализа клинико-генетических корреляций. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous hereditary disease of the connective tissue, which is based on genetic changes leading to a violation of the structure of bone tissue. 21 genes are involved in the pathogenesis of OI have been identified, but the degree of genetic heterogeneity of the disease has not yet been clarified. The aim of the study is to search for the molecular cause of OI and determine the type of inheritance and the clinical form of the disease based on the analysis of clinical genetic correlations.
The purpose — to study the current state of the problem of endometrial polyps, to analyze the prevalence of alleles and genotypes of the rs11841589 polymorphism of the KLF12 gene and their association with the risk of endometrial polyps and endometrial cancer in women. Material and methods. The article presents an overview of publications based on search results in the electronic resources PubMed, Elibrary, EMBASE and Google Scholar. The study included 247 women living in the Republic of Tatarstan: 86 with endometrial polyps (PE), 60 with endometrial cancer (RE), 101 patients without pathological changes in the endometrium. Clinical and laboratory examination, genotyping of the polymorphism rs11841589 of the KLF12 gene, pathomorphological examination of the endometrium were carried out. The biomaterial for genotyping the polymorphism rs11841589 of the KLF12 gene was DNA from whole blood (TestGen, Ulyanovsk). A set of reagents «Rapid-Genetics Test» by DNA-Technology LLC (Moscow, Russia) was used. The study was carried out within the framework of KSMU research No. 122082300042-2 in compliance with the principles and conditions of the Helsinki Declaration. Results. Endometrial polyps, due to their prevalence, high frequency of abnormal uterine bleeding and the risk of malignancy, represent one of the most serious gynecological problems worldwide. The mutant allele with the rs11841589 polymorphism of the KLF12 gene and the CC genotype, according to the study, do not significantly increase the risk of developing endometrial polyps and endometrial cancer in women living in the Republic of Tatarstan. It is proved that the prevalence of alleles and genotypes is comparable to the European population. Conclusion. This study showed that 247 residents of the Republic of Tatarstan included in the study had no association of rs11841589 polymorphism of the KLF12 gene with the risk of developing endometrial polyps and endometrial cancer.
Проведено исследование гена интерферон индуцированного трансмембранного белка 5 (IFITM5) у 99 пациентов с несовершенным остеогенезом (НО) из 86 неродственных семей. НО - клинически и генетически гетерогенное наследственное заболевание соединительной ткани, основное клиническое проявление которого - множественные переломы, начиная с неонатального периода жизни, зачастую приводящие к инвалидизации с детского возраста. К основным клиническим признакам НО относятся голубые склеры, потеря слуха, аномалия дентина, повышенная ломкость костей, нарушения роста и осанки с развитием характерных инвалидизирующих деформаций костей и сопутствующих проблем, включающих дыхательные, неврологические, сердечные, почечные нарушения. НО встречается как у мужчин, так и у женщин. До сих пор не определена степень генетической гетерогенности заболевания. На сегодняшний день известно 20 генов, вовлеченных в патогенез НО, и исследователи разных стран продолжают искать новые гены. В последнее десятилетие стало известно, что аутосомно-рецессивные, аутосомно-доминантные и Х-сцепленные мутации в широком спектре генов, кодирующих белки, которые участвуют в синтезе коллагена I типа, его процессинге, секреции и посттрансляционной модификации, а также в белках, которые регулируют дифференцировку и активность костеобразующих клеток, вызывают НО. Мутации в гене IFITM5, также называемом BRIL (bone-restricted IFITM-like protein), участвующем в формировании остеобластов, приводят к развитию НО типа V. До 5% пациентов имеют НО типа V, который характеризуется образованием гиперпластического каллуса после переломов, кальцификацией межкостной мембраны предплечья и сетчатым рисунком ламелирования, наблюдаемого при гистологическом исследовании кости. В 2012 г. гетерозиготная мутация (c.-14C> T) в 5’-нетранслируемой области (UTR) гена IFITM5 была идентифицирована как основная причина НО V типа. В представленной работе проведен анализ гена IFITM5 и идентифицирована мутация c.-14C>T, возникшая de novo, у одного пациента с НО, которому впоследствии был установлен V тип заболевания. Также выявлены три известных полиморфных варианта: rs57285449; c.80G>C (p.Gly27Ala) и rs2293745; c.187-45C>T и rs755971385 c.279G>A (p.Thr93=) и один ранее не описанный вариант: c.128G>A (p.Ser43Asn) AGC>AAC (S/D), которые не являются патогенными. В статье уделяется внимание особенностям клинических проявлений НО V типа и рекомендуется определение мутации c.-14C>T в гене IFITM5 при подозрении на данную форму заболевания. A study was made of interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5 gene (IFITM5) in 99 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) from 86 unrelated families and a search for pathogenic gene variants involved in the formation of the disease phenotype. OI is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous hereditary disease of the connective tissue, the main clinical manifestation of which is multiple fractures, starting from the natal period of life, often leading to disability from childhood. The main clinical signs of OI include blue sclera, hearing loss, anomaly of dentin, increased fragility of bones, impaired growth and posture, with the development of characteristic disabling bone deformities and associated problems, including respiratory, neurological, cardiac, and renal disorders. OI occurs in both men and women. The degree of genetic heterogeneity of the disease has not yet been determined. To date, 20 genes are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of OI, and researchers from different countries continue to search for new genes. In the last decade, it has become known that autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant and X-linked mutations in a wide range of genes encoding proteins that are involved in the synthesis of type I collagen, its processing, secretion and post-translational modification, as well as in proteins that regulate the differentiation and activity of bone-forming cells cause OI. Mutations in the IFITM5 gene, also called BRIL (bone-restricted IFITM-like protein), involved in the formation of osteoblasts, lead to the development of OI type V. Up to 5% of patients have OI type V, which is characterized by the formation of a hyperplastic callus after fractures, calcification of the interosseous membrane of the forearm, and a mesh lamellar pattern observed during histological examination of the bone. In 2012, a heterozygous mutation (c.-14C> T) in the 5’-untranslated region (UTR) of the IFITM5 gene was identified as the main cause of OI type V. In the present work, the IFITM5 gene was analyzed and the de novo c.-14C> T mutation was identified in one patient with OI who was subsequently diagnosed with type V of the disease. Three known polymorphic variants were also identified: rs57285449; c.80G> C (p.Gly27Ala) and rs2293745; c.187-45C> T and rs755971385 c.279G> A (p.Thr93 =) and one previously undescribed variant: c.128G> A (p.Ser43Asn) AGC> AAC (S / D), which were not pathogenic. The article focuses on the features of the clinical manifestations of OI type V, and it is recommended to determine the c.-14C> T mutation in the IFITM5 gene if this form of the disease is suspected.
The article deals with the cultural stereotypes concerning Russia’s image abroad, in particular using the case of the French media. Despite the well-established notion of stereotypes as negative images, today the opposite perception of this phenomenon can be seen much more often: some scholars single out these sings as a separate phenomenon and give such “positive stereotypes” the name of “prototypes”. The author examines the evolution of Russia’s image from the perspective of the French printed media. Special attention is devoted to improving tone of references to Russia, which became possible not only due to a realistic immersion into the environment (such as the recently held FIFA World Cup), but also through the contacts of the so called “citizen diplomacy”. The latter type of cross-cultural interaction is crucial to support, given the existing interest on the part of France which is one of the leading EU countries and an important partner for Russia on the international area.
A molecular genetic study of osteogenesis imperfecta in 103 burdened families was carried out. 9 types of pathogenic mutations were identified in 12 patients in the COL1A1, COL1A2 and IFITM5 genes: 2 duplications, 1 deletion, 2 nonsense, 3 missense, 1 frame shift.
