Note (General)Background: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a congenital malformation syndrome caused by mutations in the KMT2D and KDM6A genes that encode histone modification enzymes. Although KS is considered a single gene disorder, its symptoms vary widely. Recently, disease-specific DNA methylation patterns, or episignatures, have been recognized and used as a diagnostic tool for KS. Because of various crosstalk mechanisms between histone modifications and DNA methylation, DNA methylation analysis may have high potential for investigations into the pathogenesis of KS.Results: In this study, we investigated altered CpG-methylation sites that were specific to KS to find important genes associated with the various phenotypes or pathogenesis of KS. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) was performed to select target CpG islands, and enzymatic conversion technology was applied after hybridization capture to confirm KS-specific episignatures of 130 selected differently methylated target regions (DMTRs) in DNA samples from the 65 participants, 31 patients with KS and 34 unaffected individuals, in this study. We identified 26 candidate genes in 22 DMTRs that may be associated with KS. Our results indicate that disease-specific methylation sites can be identified from a small number of WGBS samples, and hybridization capture followed by enzymatic methylation sequencing can simultaneously test the sites.Conclusions: Although DNA methylation can be tissue-specific, our results suggest that methylation profiling of DNA extracted from peripheral blood may be a powerful approach to study the pathogenesis of diseases.
