Case Report: Investigation and molecular genetic diagnosis of familial hypomagnesaemia.


ABSTRACT: Genetic mutations causing familial hypomagnesaemia syndromes are well-recognised.  Affected patients can present with severe symptoms of hypomagnesaemia, such as seizures or cardiac arrhythmia.  We report an affected child, from a consanguineous family, who presented in the first weeks of life with seizures secondary to hypomagnesaemia, without other associated clinical features.  We performed whole exome sequencing in the affected child and segregation analysis within the family, which revealed a novel homozygous missense mutation in TRPM6, which was confirmed as a heterozygous allele in both parents and two younger siblings who had transient hypomagnesaemia. Using in silico modelling, we provide evidence that the missense variant p.(K1098E) in TRPM6 is pathogenic, as it disrupts stabilising TRP domain interactions. Management of familial hypomagnesaemia relies on prompt recognition, early magnesium replacement and lifelong monitoring.
