1. Clasificación por tamaño de unidad

  • STR (microsatélites): 1-6 pb → grueso de patología neurológica
  • VNTR (sentido amplio): número variable de copias, unidad mayor
  • Minisatélites clásicos: 10-60 pb (INS, MUC1)
  • Macrosatélites: miles de pb — mismo principio (nº variable de copias), unidad muchísimo mayor (FSHD/D4Z4)

2. Por qué son inestables (mecanismo común)

  • Deslizamiento de la ADN polimerasa durante replicación
  • Hebra naciente se disocia y reasocia en registro desplazado → bucle
  • Bucle en hebra naciente → expansión
  • Bucle en hebra molde → contracción
  • A mayor longitud previa, mayor probabilidad de bucle → inestabilidad no lineal tras umbral crítico (normal → premutación → mutación completa)

Consecuencia clínica: anticipación genética = manifestación fenotípica de esta inestabilidad meiótica creciente (sesgo paterno o materno según la enfermedad).

3. Tres mecanismos según localización de la repetición (bloque STR)

A) Exón codificante, tripletes (CAG=poliQ)

  • Proteína anómala con tracto de poliglutamina
  • Mal plegamiento → agregación intranuclear
  • Ganancia de función tóxica, dominante
  • Ej.: Huntington, SCAs, Kennedy (ligada a X)

B) Región no codificante (UTR, intrón), gran expansión

  • Silenciamiento epigenético → hipermetilación → pérdida de función (X frágil, Friedreich)
  • Toxicidad de ARN → secuestro de proteínas de splicing por ARN mensajero con repetición expandida (miotónica, C9orf72)
Durch STR verursachte neurologische Erkrankungen.

4. Bloque VNTR (sentido amplio)

Minisatélites clásicos

  • Variación de número de copias sin umbral patogénico brusco
  • Modulan riesgo poligénico (INS → diabetes tipo 1) o causan enfermedad estructural (MUC1 → ADTKD)
  • Base histórica del «DNA fingerprinting» forense

Macrosatélites

— FSHD como caso paradigmático

  • D4Z4 (subtelómero 4q35): unidad de 3.3 kb
  • Normal: 11-100 copias / Patológico: ≤10 copias (FSHD1) — contracción, no expansión
  • Contracción abre cromatina → desrepresión de DUX4 (normalmente silenciado en músculo adulto) → toxicidad
  • Requiere haplotipo permisivo 4qA (misma contracción en 4qB no causa enfermedad)
  • FSHD2: array normal, pero mutación en SMCHD1 → mismo resultado (desrepresión de DUX4) por vía trans, no por contracción cis
  • No sigue anticipación genética clásica (mecanismo epigenético, no carrera de repeticiones)
  • Sí, hay un grupo pequeño pero importante de enfermedades que comparten con FSHD el mecanismo «atípico» (repetición grande, no microsatélite clásico, y/o mecanismo epigenético en vez de toxicidad directa). Las más relevantes para tu esquema:

—- Síndrome ICF (Inmunodeficiencia, Inestabilidad Centromérica, anomalías Faciales)

  • Afecta repeticiones satélite 2 y 3 (secuencias pericentroméricas, no D4Z4, pero mismo principio de macrosatélite/heterocromatina repetitiva)
  • Mecanismo: mutaciones en DNMT3B (o ZBTB24, CDCA7, HELLS) → hipometilación de estas regiones repetidas → descondensación pericentromérica → inestabilidad cromosómica
  • Es prácticamente el equivalente autosómico recesivo del mecanismo de FSHD2: falla la maquinaria que mantiene silenciada la heterocromatina repetitiva, en vez de fallar la repetición misma

—- Epilepsia mioclónica progresiva tipo 1 (Unverricht-Lundborg).

  • Gen CSTB (cistatina B)
  • Repetición dodecámera (12 pb) en el promotor — tamaño frontera entre microsatélite y minisatélite, otro caso que no encaja limpiamente en STR clásico
  • Mecanismo: expansión (a diferencia de FSHD) pero el resultado es pérdida de función por reducción transcripcional, no toxicidad de proteína ni de ARN — la expansión en el promotor simplemente dificulta la transcripción del gen
  • Útil como contraste: expansión que causa pérdida de función pura, sin ganancia tóxica
