Abstract Aim: Hemophilia A (HA) is caused by abnormalities in the Factor VIII gene. Certain abnormalities correlate with disease severity. Here, we report the genotype-phenotype correlation for all Victorian HA patients. Methods: Using the Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry, Victorian HA patients were identified. All genetic testing was conducted at Southern Health. The testing algorithm is summarized in Figure 1. Mutations were compared with the list of known Factor 8 mutations on the Champ and EAHAD F8 Variant Databases. A PubMed search was undertaken for any mutations not on either database. If this too was unrevealing, the mutation was designated novel. In-silico analysis was conducted on all novel mutations using three open-access, online prediction tools: a) Mutation Taster; b) Poly-Phen 2; c) Human Splice Site Predictor. Results: 318 patients with matched clinical and genetic records were identified. 275 had known FVIII mutations and 36 novel FVIII mutations were discovered. Eight patients (3%) had no mutations identified. (Table 1) In severe HA the intron-22 inversion was the most common mutation (47/122, 38%). Missense mutations predominated in mild and moderate HA. Inhibitors were present in 44/318 patients, the majority of whom had 26/44 (59%) severe HA. 20/36 novel mutations (55%) were associated with severe HA, 12/36 (33%) with mild HA and 4/36 (11%) with a moderate HA. Novel mutations associated with non-severe phenotypes were mostly missense mutations (15/16); More diversity was seen in the novel mutations causing a severe HA with a fairly even distribution of mutations: missense (7/20), nonsense (4/20) and small deletions and insertions (8/20). One large deletion involving a 6.5kb region of exon 26, as well as one duplication of exons 7 to 9 - was seen in the severe group. In-silico analysis predicted that all novel severe HA mutations were likely to be pathogenic.Inhibitors were seen in 7 patients with novel mutations. Of the 36 novel mutations we described, 9/36 (25%) were seen in other family members - often female carriers. All 9 mutations caused a severe phenotype which is not unexpected given that the screening and testing of family members would be unlikely to take place in patients who have a mild phenotype and rarely require supportive medical care Conclusion: This study adds 36 novel mutations to the currently known FVIII haemophilic mutations. It also confirms that the frequency and correlative clinical severity of known genetic mutations in the Victorian HA cohort is similar to that described internationally. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogenous neurological disorder primarily associated with progressive spasticity. Paraplegin is a mitochondrial protein and mutations in this protein can lead to HSP. In this study, in silico analysis was carried out to identify the pathogenic variants of SPG7 (paraplegin protein). To find novel pathogenic mutations, missense and splicing variants were collected from gnomAD database and passed through a detailed and stringent analysis with the help of a variety of bioinformatic tools. The list of mutations was examined and compared in ClinVar. Altogether, 14 missense mutations and 18 splicing mutations were obtained and these mutations were predicted to have the potential of disrupting the normal structural and functional properties of paraplegin protein.

In order to delineate a better approach to functional studies, we have selected 23 missense mutations distributed in different domains of two lysosomal enzymes, to be studied by in silico analysis. In silico analysis of mutations relies on computational modeling to predict their effects. Various computational platforms are currently available to check the probable causality of mutations encountered in patients at the protein and at the RNA levels. In this work we used four different platforms freely available online (Protein Variation Effect Analyzer- PROVEAN, PolyPhen-2, Swiss-model Expert Protein Analysis System—ExPASy, and SNAP2) to check amino acid substitutions and their effect at the protein level. The existence of functional studies, regarding the amino acid substitutions, led to the selection of the distinct protein mutants. Functional data were used to compare the results obtained with different bioinformatics tools. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, it is not feasible to carry out functional tests in all the variants detected. In silico analysis seems to be useful for the delineation of which mutants are worth studying through functional studies. Therefore, prediction of the mutation impact at the protein level, applying computational analysis, confers the means to rapidly provide a prognosis value to genotyping results, making it potentially valuable for patient care as well as research purposes. The present work points to the need to carry out functional studies in mutations that might look neutral. Moreover, it should be noted that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), occurring in coding and non-coding regions, may lead to RNA alterations and should be systematically verified. Functional studies can gain from a preliminary multi-step approach, such as the one proposed here.
