Non-classical 11?-hydroxylase deficiency caused by compound heterozygous mutations: a case study and literature review.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:11?-hydroxylase deficiency (11OHD) is extremely rare, and reports of non-classical 11OHD are even rarer. Non-classical 11OHD usually presents as premature adrenarche, hyperandrogenism, menstrual disorders, and hypertension. Because the symptoms of non-classical 11OHD are mild, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis as polycystic ovary syndrome or primary hypertension is common. CASE PRESENTATION:This paper introduces a case of a young female patient presenting hypertension and menstrual disorders. Laboratory examination revealed increased androgen levels, mild adrenal hyperplasia, mild left ventricular hypertrophy, and mild sclerosis of the lower limb arteries. 11OHD was confirmed by genetic testing, and the patient was found to carry compound heterozygous mutations in CYP11B1 (c.583 T?>?C and c.1358G?>?A). The mutation Y195H is located in exon 3 and has not been reported previously. In silico studies indicated that this mutation may cause reduced enzymatic activity. After treatment with hydrocortisone and spironolactone, blood pressure was brought under good control, and menstruation returned to normal. We also conducted a retrospective review of previously reported cases in the literature (over 170 cases since 1991). CONCLUSIONS:Early diagnosis of non-classical 11OHD is difficult because its symptoms are mild. The possibility of this disease should be considered in patients with early-onset hypertension, menstrual disorders, and hyperandrogenism to provide early treatment and prevent organ damage due to hypertension and hyperandrogenism. CYP11B1 mutations are known to be race-specific and are concentrated in exons 3 and 8, of which mutations in the former are mostly associated with non-classical 11OHD, whereas mutations in the latter are mostly found in classical 11OHD, characterized by severe loss of enzymatic activity.

Project description:BackgroundRenal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder that is characterized by decreased serum uric acid concentration and increased fractional excretion of uric acid. Previous reports have revealed many functional mutations in two urate transporter genes, SLC22A12 and/or SLC2A9, to be the causative genetic factors of this disorder. However, there are still unresolved patients, suggesting the existence of other causal genes or new mutations. Here, we report an RHUC patient with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC22A12 gene.Case presentationA 27-year-old female presenting with recurrent hypouricemia during routine checkups was referred to our hospital. After obtaining the patient's consent, both the patient and her healthy parents were analyzed using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing to discover and validate causal mutations, respectively. The prioritization protocol of WES screened out two mutations of c.269G > A/p.R90H and c.1289_1290insGG/p.M430fsX466, which are both located in the SLC22A12 gene, in the patient. Sanger sequencing further confirmed that the patient's heterozygous c.269G > A/p.R90H mutation, which has been reported previously, derived from her mother, and the heterozygous c.1289_1290insGG/p.M430fsX466 mutation, which was found for the first time, derived from her father. p.R90H, which is highly conserved among different species, may decrease the stability of this domain and was considered to be almost damaging in silicon analysis. p.M430fsX466 lacks the last three transmembrane domains, including the tripeptide motif (S/T)XΦ (X = any amino acid and Φ = hydrophobic residue), at the C-terminal, which interact with scaffolding protein PDZK1 and thus will possibly lead to weak functioning of urate transport through the disruption of the "transporter complex" that is formed by URAT1 and PDZK1.ConclusionsWe report a Chinese patient with RHUC, which was caused by compound heterozygous mutations of the SLC22A12 gene, using WES and Sanger sequencing for the first time. Mutation-induced structural instability or malfunction of the urate transporter complex may be the main mechanisms for this hereditary disorder.
