The rs2229611 (G6PC:c.*23 T>C) is associated with glycogen storage disease type Ia in Brazilian patients.

ABSTRACT: The rs2229611 SNP (G6PC:c.*23T>C) in the 3'UTR region of the G6PC gene affects the stability of the glucose-6-phosphatase mRNA and occurs in a higher frequency in patients with glycogenosis Ia (GSD Ia) in some populations. Herein, a group of Brazilian patients (n = 116) was analyzed by NGS and the frequency of rs2229611:T>C was determined. The linkage disequilibrium (LD) between pathogenic variants and the rs2229611:T>C SNP was evaluated. The results showed that the rs2229611:T>C is associated to GSD Ia and is in LD with the most frequent pathogenic variants in Brazilian patients with GSD Ia.

Project description:BackgroundGlycogen storage disease (GSD) Ia, caused by mutations in the glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) gene, is characterized by hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia. This study aimed to investigate clinical and molecular features and late complications in Korean patients with GSD Ia.ResultsFifty-four Korean patients (33 males and 21 females) from 47 unrelated families, who were diagnosed with GSD Ia, based on genetic and biochemical data, between 1999 and 2017, were included in this study. The median age at diagnosis was 3.9 years (range: 5 months to 42 years), and the follow-up period was 8.0 ± 6.8 years. Most patients presented with hepatomegaly during infancy, but hypoglycemic symptoms were not predominant. Genetic analysis showed that all the patients had at least one c.648G > T allele. Homozygous c.648G > T mutations in the G6PC gene were identified in 34 families (72.3%), and compound heterozygotes with c.648G > T were found in the other families. The allele frequency of c.648G > T was 86.2% (81/94), and p.F51S, p.R83H, p.G122D, p.Y128*, p.G222R, and p.T255A were identified. Of 26 adult patients, 14 had multiple hepatic adenomas, and two were diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma. Thirteen patients showed renal complications, and seven patients presented gout, despite preventive allopurinol treatment. Twelve patients had osteoporosis, and two patients had pulmonary hypertension. The final heights were 157.9 cm (standard deviation score: - 3.1) in males and 157.8 cm (standard deviation score: - 0.6) in females.ConclusionIn our Korean patients with GSD Ia, the most common mutation in the G6PC gene was c.648G > T, suggesting a founder effect. Because of only mild hypoglycemia, the patients tended to be diagnosed late. Thus, adult patients with GSD Ia eventually developed diverse and serious complications, which indicates a need for careful monitoring and proper management of this disease.
