A Chromosome 21 Critical Region Does Not Cause Specific Down Syndrome Phenotypes

Abstract: The "Down syndrome critical region" (DSCR) is a chromosome 21 segment purported to contain genes responsible for many features of Down syndrome (DS), including craniofacial dysmorphology. We used chromosome engineering to create mice that were trisomic or monosomic for only the mouse chromosome segment orthologous to the DSCR and assessed dysmorphologies of the craniofacial skeleton that show direct parallels with DS in mice with a larger segmental trisomy. The DSCR genes were not sufficient and were largely n… Show more

“…In the developing neocortices, proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitors are impaired, suggesting misregulation of neocortical progenitors in DS (Chakrabarti et al 2007;Ishihara et al 2010). On the other hand, studies using mouse models that are trisomic for the DSCR alone show that the DSCR is necessary but not sufficient for certain brain phenotypes seen in Ts65Dn mice (Olson et al 2004(Olson et al , 2007. These studies suggest that phenotypes associated with DS are due to the complex effects of multiple genes in the human chromosome 21.…”

“…For example, cases 16 and 18 have cardiac anomaly, and the line (Figure 3) represents the region of overlap between the trisomic regions for these two cases (Figure 2). However, in addition to these data, we have data from many more cases (8,9,10,11,12,20,23 and 25) that do not have cardiac anomaly, but are also trisomic for at least a part of this region. For many phenotypes, this analysis may reduce the size of the candidate regions, but it has the problem that it does not take into account the complicating factor of reduced penetrance (Supplementary Figure S2).…”

“…6 Although the notion of a DSCR has gained some acceptance in DS research, the data supporting it remain controversial. Further, recent work on a mouse model either trisomic or monosomic for the syntenic DSCR found no evidence that the region was required to produce the characteristic facial phenotype, 11 and that it was necessary, but not sufficient, for the hippocampal phenotype seen in DS. 20 The limited number of partial trisomy samples, and low resolution of the mapping in earlier studies, restricted the identification of critical regions.…”

“…Des modèles murins porteurs ou non d'une duplication correspondant à la DSCR classique ont été construits. Ils montrent que les gènes de la région sont nécessaires, mais pas suffisants, pour produire les signes majeurs de la trisomie 21 [37,38]. L'hypothèse de gènes individuels sensibles à l'effet-dose, qui est à la base de la notion de DSCR, n'est pas vérifiée par ce modèle murin, qui plaide plutôt pour un modèle d'interactions multiples.…”
