Rare skeletal diseases hidden under common diagnoses

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disease with early onset and typical clinical features including a high risk of fractures. Multigene panel sequencing allows for identifying 96% to 98% of classical OI cases. However, there are also patients with rare conditions that are more difficult to diagnose based on their clinical picture, because they manifest later in life and lack characteristic features. Such patients are often diagnosed with a common disorder. Early-onset osteoporosis (EOOP) is a typical example of such a condition. Systematic multigene panel analysis established the diagnosis of a monogenic rare disorder in 20% of such unclear cases. We aim at detecting these patients as early as possible and improving the detection rate by unravelling novel genetic causes. It becomes increasingly clear that a proportion of patients do not carry typical variations in protein-encoding genes but in non-coding genomic regions. Their identification requires whole-genome sequencing, and detailed understanding of the enhancer architecture of the relevant cell types (the skeletal regulome) is needed to interpret identified variants.

From osteoporosis to mechanisms of aging

Early-onset osteoporosis can be viewed as a unimodal progeroid disease. In contrast, segmental progeroid disorders are characterized by premature appearance of processes that resemble physiological aging and involve multiple organs or tissues. These conditions serve as valuable models for investigating genetic factors and physiological pathways that contribute to aging. By our research into progeroid disorders and their underlying pathomechanisms, we strive to gain a better understanding of aging processes. Specifically, we focus on pertinent topics such as energy metabolism, cellular senescence, TGF-beta signaling as well as transport and modification of extracellular matrix proteins in the Golgi compartment.

Specific therapies based on genetic profiles

Through our research on early-onset osteoporosis and our active participation in the multidisciplinary National Bone Board, we aim at advancing the use of molecular profiling to guide patient stratification and personalized treatment strategies. Unlike most treatments using conventional therapeutic agents, gene therapy has the potential of a truly causative treatment of genetic disorders that, ideally, restores normal function by correcting an individual disease-causing mutation.

The Kornak Research Group investigates somatic gene therapies for severe monogenic skeletal disorders. A CRISPR-mediated therapy for autosomal recessive osteopetrosis currently serves as a proof-of-concept. As a human test system, we use induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which can be differentiated into the various cell types relevant for the skeleton. In collaboration with the BIH Center for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT), we are working on an approach to combine these cell types in a 3D system and to generate a “bone-on-a-chip” that can then be used for biomechanical as well as therapeutic investigations.
