Spectrum of mutations underlying Propionic acidemia and further insight into a genotype-phenotype correlation for the common mutation in Saudi Arabia.


ABSTRACT: Propionic acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. PA is characterized by deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCC) that results in the accumulation of propionic acid. Alpha and beta subunits of the PCC enzyme are encoded by the PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively. Pathogenic variants in PCCA or PCCB disrupt the function of the PCC enzyme preventing the proper breakdown of certain amino acids and metabolites. To determine the frequency of pathogenic variants in PA in our population, 84 Saudi Arabian patients affected with PA were sequenced for both the PCCA and PCCB genes. We found that variants in PCCA accounted for 81% of our cohort (68 patients), while variants in PCCB only accounted for 19% (16 patients). In total, sixteen different sequence variants were detected in the study, where 7 were found in PCCA and 9 in PCCB. The pathogenic variant (c.425G?>?A; p.Gly142Asp) in PCCA is the most common cause of PA in our cohort and was found in 59 families (70.2%), followed by the frameshift variant (c.990dupT; p.E331Xfs*1) in PCCB that was found in 7 families (8.3%). The p.Gly142Asp missense variant is likely to be a founder pathogenic variant in patients of Saudi Arabian tribal origin and is associated with a severe phenotype. All variants were inherited in a homozygous state except for one family who was compound heterozygous. A total of 11 novel pathogenic variants were detected in this study thereby increasing the known spectrum of pathogenic variants in the PCCA and PCCB genes.
