Compound Heterozygous PIGS Variants Associated With Infantile Spasm, Global Developmental Delay, Hearing Loss, Visual Impairment, and Hypotonia.


ABSTRACT: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a membrane anchor for cell surface proteins. Inherited GPI deficiencies are a new subclass of congenital disorders of glycosylation. Phosphatidylinositol glycan class S (PIGS) is a subunit of the GPI transamidase which plays important roles in many biological processes. In this study, we present a Chinese boy with infantile spasms (ISs), severe global developmental delay, hearing loss, visual impairment (cortical blindness), hypotonia, and intellectual disability and whose whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified compound heterozygous variants in PIGS (MIM:610271):c.148C > T (p.Gln50?) and c.1141_1164dupGACATGGTGCGAGTGATGGAGGTG (p.Asp381_Val388dup). Flow cytometry analyses demonstrated that the boy with PIGS variants had a decreased expression of GPI-APs. This study stresses the importance of including the screening of PIGS gene in the case of pediatric neurological syndromes and reviews the clinical features of PIGS-associated disorders.
