Analysis of the SLC4A1 gene in three Mexican patients with hereditary spherocytosis: Report of a novel mutation.

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the SLC4A1 gene in three Mexican patients with Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS). The promoter and all 20 exons were investigated through heteroduplex analysis and DNA sequencing. No DNA changes were detected in one of the three patients. Two well-known polymorphisms, Memphis I and the Diego-a blood group, were detected in another one. In the third, the HS phenotype could be explained by the novel 1885_1888dupCCGG mutation found in heterozygosis. This frameshift mutation is predicted to result in a truncated and unstable protein lacking normal functions.

Novel Variant of the <i>SLC4A1</i> Gene Associated with Hereditary Spherocytosis.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) refers to the group of the most frequently occurring non-immune hereditary hemolytic anemia in people of Caucasian central or northern European ancestry. HS is mainly associated with pathogenic variants of genes encoding defects in five membrane proteins, including anion exchanger 1 encoded by the SLC4A1 gene. In this study, in a family affected with HS, we identified a hitherto unreported AE1 defect, variant p.G720W. The result of it is most likely the HS phenotype. Molecular dynamics simulation study of the AE1 transmembrane domain may indicate reasonable changes in AE1 domain structure, i.e., significant displacement of the tryptophan residue towards the membrane surface connected with possible changes in AE1 function. The WES analysis verified by classical sequencing in conjunction with biochemical analysis and molecular simulation studies shed light on the molecular mechanism underlying this case of hereditary spherocytosis, for which the newly discovered AE1 variant p.G720W seems crucial.

A novel <i>SPTB</i> gene mutation in neonatal hereditary spherocytosis: A case report.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Gene sequencing and analysis was performed for the crucial splicing signals on the exons and introns of the 302 known pathogenic genes [including ANK1, SPTAN1, SPTA1, EPB42, SLC4A1, and SPTB] that are associated with this genetic deficiency of erythrocytes. A 26-day-old female presented with jaundice, anemia, an increased count in peripheral blood reticulocyte and spherocytes and a positive acidified glycerol hemolysis test. Gene sequencing revealed a novel mutation of c.3737delA (p.Lys1246fs) in the exon 16 of SPTB (14q23|NM_000347.5) gene in the patient and her father. The mutation was a frame-shifting mutation, which may result in the truncation of β-haemoglobin in the erythrocyte membrane can lead to loss of normal function, leading to the occurrence of diseases, including jaundice and hemolytic anemia. For neonates with jaundice and anemia, family history, erythrocyte index and peripheral blood smear findings have been indicated to contribute to the diagnosis of HS. In the current study, gene sequencing was indicated to be helpful for the diagnosis of HS. A novel mutation of SPTB gene was identified, which may be pathogenic via modulating the activity of β-spectrin in the erythrocyte membrane.

[The characteristic of hereditary spherocytosis related gene mutation in 37 Chinese hereditary spherocytisis patients].

Project description:Objective: To reveal the genetic characteristics of erythrocyte membrane protein in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) in China. Methods: Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect mutations in genes of erythrocyte membrane proteins in 51 clinically diagnosed HS patients. The relationship between gene mutations and clinical phenotypes was analyzed. Results: Mutations in erythrocyte membrane protein genes were detected in 37 patients, including 17 with ANK1 mutations (17/37, 45.9%), 14 with SPTB mutations (14/37, 37.8%), and 5 with SLC4A1 mutations (5/37, 13.5%). One patient carried both heterozygous ANK1 mutation and SPTB mutation (1/37, 2.7%). SPTA1 and EPB42 mutation was not fou nd in any patient. Nonsense mutations (36.8%) and missense mutations (31.6%) were most common. Of the 38 mutations detected, 34 were novel mutations and have not been reported elsewhere (89.5%). Sixteen HS patients underwent parental genetic validation, 6 patients (37.5%) inherited gene mutation from parents and 10 (62.5%) were de novo. The peripheral blood cell parameters of HS patients were not related to the mutant genes and gene mutation types. However, it seems that HS patients with mild clinical status are prone to carry SPTB mutations while more patients with severe clinical status have ANK1 mutations. Conclusions: ANK1 and SPTB are the most common mutant genes in Chinese HS patients, mainly with missense mutations and nonsense mutations. There was no significant correlation between the mutation of HS related genes and the severity of HS.

A de novo ANK1 mutation associated to hereditary spherocytosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundHereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a type of hemolytic anemia caused by abnormal red cell membrane skeletal proteins with few unique clinical manifestations in the neonate and infant. An ANK1 gene mutation is the most common cause of HS.Case presentationThe patient was a 11-month-old boy who suffered from anemia and needed a regular transfusion therapy at an interval of 2-3 months. Hematological investigations showed moderate anemia (Hb80 g/L). Red cells displayed microcytosis (MCV76.4 fl, MCH25.6 pg, MCHC335 g/L). The reticulocytes were elevated (4.8%) and the spherocytes were increased (10%). Direct antiglobulin test was negative. Biochemical test indicated a slight elevation of bilirubin, mainly indirect reacting (TBIL32.5 μmol/L, IBIL24 μmol/L). The neonatal HS ratio is 4.38, obviously up the threshold. Meanwhile, a de novo ANK1 mutation (exon 25:c.2693dupC:p.A899Sfs*11) was identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Thus, hereditary spherocytosis was finally diagnosed.ConclusionsGene detection should be considered in some hemolytic anemia which is difficult to diagnose by routine means. We identified a novel de novo ANK1 heterozygous frameshift mutation in a Yi nationality patient while neither of his parents carried this mutation.

Novel nonsense mutation p. Gln264Ter in the ANK1 confirms causative role for hereditary spherocytosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundHereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common haemolytic anaemia caused by congenital membrane defects of red blood cells. The name derives from the presence of spherical red blood cells in the peripheral blood. Clinical manifestations of HS are anaemia, haemolytic jaundice, and large spleen, and infection can worsen the condition, often with cholelithiasis. HS is mainly caused by abnormal functions of the products of six genes. Splenectomy is the main treatment for HS.Case presentationHalf a day after birth, the proband exhibited HS-related symptoms, with progressive aggravation. Routine examination in the outpatient department showed an increase in white blood cells and a decrease in red blood cells. His mother had HS and a partial splenectomy. We suspected that the infant might also have HS. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from the three members of the HS trio pedigree, and genomic whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed. The three DNA samples were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by Sanger sequencing to identify mutation sites. A novel nonsense heterozygous mutation, c.790C > T (p. Gln264Ter), in the ANK1 gene, which causes premature termination of translation, was found in this Chinese family with autosomal dominant HS.ConclusionsThis de novo nonsense mutation can cause the onset of HS in early childhood, with severe symptoms. Expanding the ANK1 genotype mutation spectrum will lay a foundation for the further application of mutation screening in genetic counselling.

Novel SPTB frameshift mutation in a Chinese neonatal case of hereditary spherocytosis type 2: A case report.

Project description:Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an erythrocyte membrane disease with a non-specific phenotype, particularly occurring in neonatal patients, and its diagnosis is challenging. The present study reports on a patient with neonatal HS and reviewed the genetic characteristics of reported neonatal HS cases in China. The patient was admitted only a few hours after birth with jaundice. Auxiliary examination indicated anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. Spherical erythrocytes were occasionally observed in peripheral blood smears. Genetic testing suggested that the patient harbored a novel frameshift mutation (p.Asp495fsTer78) in spectrum, β, erythrocytic (SPTB), which was carried by the father. Review of 160 cases of HS in China revealed 24 to be neonatal cases. In these neonatal cases, the frequency of ankyrin 1 (ANK1) mutations and loss-of-function mutations of pathogenic genes (including ANK1 and SPTB) was higher than that in the non-neonatal group. In conclusion, the present study further expanded the mutation spectrum of SPTB and reaffirms the diagnostic value of gene detection in neonatal HS.

[Clinical features of hereditary distal renal tubular acidosis and SLC4A1 gene mutation].

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical features of two families with distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) and mutations in the pathogenic gene SLC4A1. METHODS:Family investigation, medical history collection, and measurement of biochemical parameters were performed to analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of dRTA. Direct sequencing was used to detect SLC4A1 gene mutations. RESULTS:Three patients in these two families (two of them were mother and son) were diagnosed with dRTA with typical clinical features, including short stature, metabolic acidosis, alkaline urine, hypokalemia, and nephrocalcinosis. SLC4A1 gene analysis showed that all the three patients had a pathogenic missense mutation R589H (c.1766G>A). The child in family 1 had a de novo mutation of SLC4A1, and the child in family 2 had an SLC4A1 gene mutation inherited from the mother, which met the characteristic of autosomal dominant inheritance. CONCLUSIONS:This study reports the R589H mutation in SLC4A1 gene in families with hereditary dRTA for the first time in China. Clinical physicians should perform gene detection for patients suspected of hereditary dRTA to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Clinical manifestation and phenotypic analysis of novel gene mutation in 28 Chinese children with hereditary spherocytosis.

Project description:PurposeObjective to summarize the clinical features and laboratory findings of 28 Chinese children with hereditary spherocytosis (HS), and analyze these mutations.MethodCollected and analyzed the clinical data of all children and their parents, and completed the relevant laboratory examinations of all children. Analyzed the sequence of related genes by second-generation sequencing technology, and verified the suspected mutations by Sanger sequencing method. Analyzed all biological information using the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism database, the 1000 Human Genome Project, and the Exosome Aggregation Consortium.ResultNew mutations were detected in the HS coding region of 28 children. Among them, there were 13 cases (46.4%) with ANK1 mutation, 10 cases (35.7%) with SPTB mutation, three cases (10.7%) with SLC4A1 mutation, and two cases (7.2%) with SPTA1 mutation. All mutations cause amino acid changes in the coding gene, as well as subsequent changes in protein structure or loss of function.ConclusionAll the newly discovered gene coding region mutation sites detected are the suspected pathogenic causes of the 28 Chinese children. At the same time, the second-generation gene sequencing technology is an effective means to diagnose HS. Different mutation types and different mutation regions have no significant correlation with the severity of anemia. The novel gene mutation sites in 28 children studied in this paper have not yet been included in the human genome database, dbSNP (v138), or ExAC database. The new gene mutations found in HS children can provide a theoretical basis for further exploring the genetic causes of HS in Chinese children.
