Overview of Developmental
Synaptopathies Consortium (DSC)
• 10 site consortium funded by NCATS, NIMH,
NINDS and NICHD
• 5 year grant
• Focusing on three well-established genetic
syndromes that are associated with high
penetrance for ASD/ID caused by TSC1/2,
PTEN and SHANK3 mutations and disruptions in
shared molecular pathways
Developmental Synaptopathies
Consortium (DSC)
What is a Synaptopathy?
• The dysfunction of connectivity in the brain: these
disruptions in synaptic structure and function are major
determinants of the resulting brain disease or disorder.
• Synaptic function and connectivity are implicated in:
- communication
- interpersonal interactions
- functioning and processing

Overall Goals of the DSC
• Long term goal:
• mechanistic analysis of three genetic disorders with high
penetrance of ASD/ID to shed light on molecular pathways
and targets relevant to ASD/ID: Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
(TSC1 and TSC2 genes), PTEN hamartoma syndrome and
Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS; SHANK3 gene)
• The short-term goals are:
• (1) to better characterize the neurodevelopmental
phenotype of these three groups of patients
longitudinally
• (2) identify biomarkers that predict risk for disease
severity/progress.

TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX
What is Tuberous Sclerosis
Complex (TSC)?
• Multi-system disease
• Causes hamartomas (benign growths) in
brain, eye, skin, kidneys, and heart
• Autosomal dominant (TSC1 and TSC2
genes)
• Usually presents with seizures, cognitive
impairment, autism
• Incidence: 1: 6,000-10,000
Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
11 Major Features
• Hypomelanotic macules (≥3; at least 5mm diameter)
• Angiofibroma (≥3) or fibrous cephalic plaque
• Ungual fibromas (≥2)
• Shagreen patch
• Multiple retinal hamartomas
• Cortical dysplasias (≥3 )*
• Subependymal nodule (≥2)
• Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
• Cardiac rhabdomyoma
• Lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM)**
• Angiomyolipomas (≥2)**
6 Minor Features
• “Confetti” skin lesions
• Dental enamel pits (≥3)
• Intraoral fibromas (≥2)
• Retinal achromic patch
• Multiple renal cysts
• Nonrenal hamartomas
Definite TSC: 2 major features or 1 major feature with 2 minor features
Possible TSC: either 1 major feature or >2 minor features
* includes tubers and cerebral white matter radial migration lines
** a combination of the 2 Major clinical features LAM and angiomyolipomas without
Other features does not meet criteria for a Definite Diagnosis

Genetic Aspects of TSC
•
•
•
•
•
Autosomal dominant inheritance
Two-thirds of cases sporadic
One-third of cases familial
Variable expression
Common in the population with
approximately 1:6,000-10,000
individuals affected
Genetic Testing of TSC:
Current Status
• Sanger sequencing identifies a
mutation in 75% to 90% of the
individuals with a definite clinical
diagnosis of TSC1
• In 10% to 25% of patients with TSC,
there is no mutation identified (NMI)
in either TSC1 or TSC22
• Incorporating new DNA-sequencing
technologies into the standard genetic
assessment for patients with TSC can
increase the detection rate of
mutations in TSC3
Current Methods for
TSC Genetic Testing3
Mutation type
Technique used
Point mutations and
small insertions/
deletions
Genomic DNA
sequencing of coding
regions and neighboring
splice sites
Intragenic deletions and
duplications
Analysis by
multiplex ligationdependent probe
amplification (MLPA)
Chromosomal
rearrangements
Oligonucleotide and SNP
array analyses
SNP=single polynucleotide polymorphism.

Rare splice mutations, located deep in introns, or
mutations in promoter regions are not detected by
current DNA-based diagnostics3
NGS Identifies Mosaic Mutations
in Patients With TSC
•
NGS analysis of genomic DNA, including
promoter regions, all exons, and most of
the intronic regions of 46 TSC NMI
patients, revealed that1
– Mutations in TSC1 and TSC2 occur
in over 50% of NMI patients with
TSC
– Mosaic and splice region mutations
were common
Ultra-deep pyrosequencing DNA analysis
of blood samples of 38 NMI patients with
TSC revealed2
– Two TSC2 mutations —each at 5.3%
read frequency in different patients—
consistent with mosaicism

Neurodevelopmental Aspects of
PHTS
• Increase in developmental delays in children
– Spectrum from mild to severe
– Some require special education, others excel in school
classes
• Increased risks for autism spectrum disorders
• New research: specific deficits in motor and
executive function
• Recommend thorough developmental evaluation
in children
• Macrocephaly (large head size) very common

PHELAN-MCDERMID SYNDROME
Rare mutations in autism
Phelan-McDermid Syndrome
global developmental delay
intellectual disability
absent or severely delayed speech
hypotonia
dysmorphic features
The SHANK3 gene
Phelan-McDermid syndrome is caused
by deletions or mutations of the
SHANK3 gene on chromosome 22q
SHANK3 is a master scaffolding
protein which forms a framework for
the connections between brain cells
