Project description:Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is characterized by rickets, hyperphosphaturia, hypophosphatemia, elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D, increased gastrointestinal calcium absorption and hypercalciuria. Serum calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin-D and PTH levels are normal. Here we describe a boy with HHRH, nephrolithiasis, and compound heterozygosity for one previously described mutation (g.4225_50del) and a novel splice mutation (g.1226G>A) in SLC34A3, the gene encoding the renal sodium-phosphate co-transporter NaPi-IIc. The patient's mother and grandmother are carriers of g.4225_50del, and both have a history of nephrolithiasis associated with hypercalciuria and elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D. His three siblings (2-6 years old), who are also carriers of g.4225_50del, have hypercalciuria but so far their renal ultrasounds are normal. Thus, SLC34A3/NaPi-IIc mutations appear to be associated with variable phenotypic changes at presentation, which can include recurrent nephrolithiasis.

Project description:Hypophosphatemia due to isolated renal phosphate wasting results from a heterogeneous group of disorders. Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is an autosomal recessive form that is characterized by reduced renal phosphate reabsorption, hypophosphatemia, and rickets. It can be distinguished from other forms of hypophosphatemia by increased serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resulting in hypercalciuria. Using SNP array genotyping, we mapped the disease locus in two consanguineous families to the end of the long arm of chromosome 9. The candidate region contained a sodium-phosphate cotransporter gene, SLC34A3, which has been shown to be expressed in proximal tubulus cells. Sequencing of this gene revealed disease-associated mutations in five families, including two frameshift and one splice-site mutation. Loss of function of the SLC34A3 protein presumably results in a primary renal tubular defect and is compatible with the HHRH phenotype. We also show that the phosphaturic factor FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23), which is increased in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets and carries activating mutations in autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, is at normal or low-normal serum levels in the patients with HHRH, further supporting a primary renal defect. Identification of the gene mutated in a further form of hypophosphatemia adds to the understanding of phosphate homeostasis and may help to elucidate the interaction of the proteins involved in this pathway.

Project description:Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia, rickets, hyperphosphaturia, elevated 1,25(OH)2D, and hypercalciuria. Mutations in SLC34A3, the gene encoding the sodium-dependent cotransporter NPT2c, have previously been described as a cause of HHRH. Here, we describe two male siblings with rickets and hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis born to unrelated parents, and their response to oral phosphate supplementation and growth hormone therapy. Whole exome sequencing of the oldest brother, and polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequence analysis of the identified SLC34A3 mutations, was performed for confirmation and to evaluate his siblings and parents. Serum and urine biochemical parameters of mineral homeostasis before and after therapy were evaluated. Whole exome sequencing analysis identified a previously reported heterozygous deletion SLC34A3.g.2259-2359del101bp on the maternal allele, and a novel heterozygous single nucleotide deletion SLC34A3.c.671delT on the paternal allele of the two affected brothers. The parents and the unaffected brother are heterozygous carriers. Recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) plus oral phosphate in one affected brother improved the renal phosphate leak and resulted in accelerated linear growth superior to that seen with oral phosphate supplementation alone in the other affected brother. Our case study is the first to demonstrate that rHGH can be considered in addition to oral supplementation with phosphorus to improve linear growth in patients with this disorder, and suggests that renal phosphate reabsorption in response to rHGH is NPT2c-independent.

Project description:Objective:To describe clinical findings, biochemical profile and genetic analysis in an Iranian kindred with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH). Methods:Clinical examination and biochemical profile results and gene analysis of 12 members of a family of a patient previously diagnosed with HHRH due to SLC34A3 mutation. Ten healthy controls were also evaluated. Results:Of the twelve family members three were homozygote and seven heterozygote for the same SLC34A3 variant found in the proband while two others were unaffected. All patients had significantly increased risk of kidney stone formation, bone deformities and short stature compared with unrelated healthy controls. The heterozygous patients displayed milder clinical symptoms compared with homozygous patients. In particular they had mild or no hypophosphatemia and they did not develop skeletal deformities. Recurrent renal stones and hypercalciuria were the main presentations of the heterozygous patients which may be confused with familial hypercalciuria. In addition, biochemical analysis showed significantly low serum sodium and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels in these patients. Conclusion:Genetic counseling and screening for SLC34A3 mutations can be helpful in adult onset phenotype with unexplained osteoporosis, bone deformities and especial recurrent renal stones. In subjects with vitamin D deficiency the results should be interpreted cautiously.

Project description:Three siblings, aged 12, 4 and 2 years, presented at a Gambian clinic with bone deformities. Radiographs of knees and wrists confirmed the presence of florid rickets. The family (including 2 unaffected siblings and the mother) were investigated for hereditary rickets. The three affected siblings had biochemical features of hereditary hypophosphataemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) with normal plasma calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, hypophosphataemia, hyperphosphaturia and hypercalciuria. At presentation, two of the three affected siblings had an elevated fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) concentration. The mother and clinically unaffected siblings had largely normal biochemistry. Genetic analysis of the SLC34A3 gene, encoding the type IIc sodium-phosphate cotransporter, in DNA samples from the siblings and their mother was conducted. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) S168F, E513V and L599L were identified. E513V and L599L had been previously identified as benign polymorphisms. S168F however, is a previously unreported variant. In silico mutation evaluation predicted that the S168F mutation causes changes in the protein product which are damaging to its function. In addition, the three clinically affected siblings were homozygous in the S168F variant whereas the unaffected family members were carriers. This study describes a biochemical profile and complementary gene data consistent with a rare genetic hypophosphataemic rickets disease in a family from rural Gambia. To our knowledge, this study reports the first cases of HHRH in Africa and describes a novel causal mutation within the SLC34A3 gene.

Project description:ContextHypophosphatemia and metabolic bone disease are associated with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) due to biallelic mutations of SLC34A3 encoding the NPT2C sodium-phosphate cotransporter and nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis, hypophosphatemic 1 (NPHLOP1) due to monoallelic mutations in SLC34A1 encoding the NPT2A sodium-phosphate cotransporter.ObjectiveTo identify a genetic cause of apparent dominant transmission of HHRH.Design and settingRetrospective and prospective analysis of clinical and molecular characteristics of patients studied in 2 academic medical centers.MethodsWe recruited 4 affected and 3 unaffected members of a 4-generation family in which the proband presented with apparent HHRH. We performed clinical examinations, biochemical and radiological analyses, and molecular studies of genomic DNA.ResultsThe proband and her affected sister and mother carried pathogenic heterozygous mutations in 2 related genes, SLC34A1 (exon 13, c.1535G>A; p.R512H) and SLC34A3 (exon 13, c.1561dupC; L521Pfs*72). The proband and her affected sister inherited both gene mutations from their mother, while their clinically less affected brother, father, and paternal grandmother carried only the SLC34A3 mutation. Renal phosphate-wasting exhibited both a gene dosage-effect and an age-dependent attenuation of severity.ConclusionsWe describe a kindred with autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets in which whole exome analysis identified digenic heterozygous mutations in SLC34A1 and SLC34A3. Subjects with both mutations were more severely affected than subjects carrying only one mutation. These findings highlight the challenges of assigning causality to plausible genetic variants in the next generation sequencing era.

Project description:To identify a genetic basis for markedly reduced bone density and multiple fractures in an adult patient with hypophosphatemia and hypercalciuria.A 54-year-old Vietnamese man, his unaffected two daughters and wife.We performed biochemical studies and sequenced the SLC34A3 gene using genomic DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Biochemical evaluation of the proband revealed hypophosphatemia with increased renal phosphate wasting, hypercalciuria, low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and an elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D level. Mutation analysis of SLC34A3 gene revealed that the patient was a compound heterozygote for two nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions: a novel c.571G>A (p.G191S) damaging mutation and the previously reported c.200G>A (p.R67H) polymorphism, consistent with the clinical diagnosis of late-onset hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH). His wife and older daughter both carried the p.R67H polymorphism, while his younger daughter was compound heterozygous for p.R67H and p.G191S.HHRH is an uncommon autosomal recessive disease that generally manifests in childhood as rickets or nephrolithiasis, but an adult onset phenotype may occur in heterozygous carriers of SLC34A3 mutations. The severe presentation of this proband in adulthood with marked nephrolithiasis, multiple fractures and low bone density emphasizes the importance of measuring the serum phosphorus level in patients with suspected but unexplained osteoporosis and/or recurrent renal stones. The recognition of late-onset HHRH facilitates timely institution of appropriate therapy.

Project description:Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is a rare metabolic disorder, characterized by hypophosphatemia, variable degrees of rickets/osteomalacia, and hypercalciuria secondary to increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] levels. HHRH is caused by mutations in the SLC34A3 gene, which encodes sodium-phosphate co-transporter type IIc. A 6-1/2-year-old female presented with a history of nephrolithiasis. Her metabolic evaluation revealed increased 24-hour urine calcium excretion with high serum calcium, low intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), and elevated 1,25(OH)2D. In addition, the patient had low to low-normal serum phosphorus with high urine phosphorus. The patient had normal stature; without rachitic or boney deformities or a history of fractures. Genetic analysis of SLC34A3 revealed the patient to be a compound heterozygote for a novel single base pair deletion in exon 12 (c.1304delG) and 30-base pair deletion in intron 6 (g.1440-1469del). The single-base pair mutation causes a frameshift, which results in premature stop codon. The intronic deletion is likely caused by misalignment of the 4-basepair homologous repeats and results in the truncation of an already small intron to 63bp, which would impair proper RNA splicing of the intron. This is the fourth unique intronic deletion identified in patients with HHRH, suggesting the frequent occurrence of sequence misalignments in SLC34A3 and the importance of screening introns in patients with HHRH.

Project description:Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is a rare disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance that was first described in a large consanguineous Bedouin kindred. HHRH is characterized by the presence of hypophosphatemia secondary to renal phosphate wasting, radiographic and/or histological evidence of rickets, limb deformities, muscle weakness, and bone pain. HHRH is distinct from other forms of hypophosphatemic rickets in that affected individuals present with hypercalciuria due to increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels and increased intestinal calcium absorption. We performed a genomewide linkage scan combined with homozygosity mapping, using genomic DNA from a large consanguineous Bedouin kindred that included 10 patients who received the diagnosis of HHRH. The disease mapped to a 1.6-Mbp region on chromosome 9q34, which contains SLC34A3, the gene encoding the renal sodium-phosphate cotransporter NaP(i)-IIc. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a homozygous single-nucleotide deletion (c.228delC) in this candidate gene in all individuals affected by HHRH. This mutation is predicted to truncate the NaP(i)-IIc protein in the first membrane-spanning domain and thus likely results in a complete loss of function of this protein in individuals homozygous for c.228delC. In addition, compound heterozygous missense and deletion mutations were found in three additional unrelated HHRH kindreds, which supports the conclusion that this disease is caused by SLC34A3 mutations affecting both alleles. Individuals of the investigated kindreds who were heterozygous for a SLC34A3 mutation frequently showed hypercalciuria, often in association with mild hypophosphatemia and/or elevations in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels. We conclude that NaP(i)-IIc has a key role in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis.

Project description:ContextHereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is a metabolic disorder due to homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the SLC34A3 gene encoding the renal type IIc sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIc). The typical presentation is severe rickets and hypophosphatemia, and hypercalciuria is often discovered later or overlooked.ObjectiveWe sought to determine the genetic basis for severe hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis/nephrocalcinosis in an adolescent male with elevated serum levels of calcitriol but normal serum levels of calcium and phosphorus.Design and settingWe used PCR to analyze the SLC34A3 gene in the proband and members of his family.ResultsThe proband was a compound heterozygote for two SLC34A3 missense mutations, a novel c.544C-->T in exon 6 that results in replacement of arginine at position 182 by tryptophan (R182W) and c.575C-->T in exon 7 that results in replacement of serine at position 192 by leucine (S192L). The R182W and S192L alleles were inherited from the mother and father, respectively, both of whom had hypercalciuria. A clinically unaffected brother was heterozygous for S192L.ConclusionWe report a novel mutation in the SLC34A3 gene in a patient with an unusual presentation of HHRH. This report emphasizes that moderate and severe hypercalciuria can be manifestations of heterozygous or homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the SLC34A3 gene, respectively, providing further evidence for a gene dosage effect in determining the phenotype. HHRH may be an underdiagnosed condition that can masquerade as idiopathic hypercalciuria or osteopenia.
