BACKGROUND: Annular pancreas (AP) is a congenital defect of unknown cause in which the pancreas encircles the duodenum. Theories include abnormal migration and rotation of the ventral bud, persistence of ectopic pancreatic tissue, and inappropriate fusion of the ventral and dorsal buds before rotation. The few reported familial cases suggest a genetic contribution.
METHODS: We conducted exome sequencing in 115 affected infants from the California birth defects registry.
RESULTS: Seven cases had a single heterozygous missense variant in IQGAP1, five of them with CADD scores >20; seven other infants had a single heterozygous missense variant in NRCAM, five of them with CADD scores >20. We also looked at genes previously associated with AP and found two rare heterozygous missense variants, one each in PDX1 and FOXF1.
CONCLUSION: IQGAP1 and NRCAM are crucial in cell polarization and migration. Mutations result in decreased motility which could possibly cause the ventral bud to not migrate normally. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting a possible association for IQGAP1 and NRCAM with AP. Our findings of rare genetic variants involved in cell migration in 15% of our population raise the possibility that AP may be related to abnormal cell migration.
