Novel Compound Heterozygous Pathogenic Mutations of SLC5A5 in a Chinese Patient With Congenital Hypothyroidism.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Defects in the human sodium/iodide symporter (SLC5A5) gene have been reported to be one of the causes of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). We aimed to identify SLC5A5 mutations in Chinese patients with CH and to evaluate the function of the mutation.

Methods

Two hundred and seventy-three patients with primary CH were screened for mutations in SLC5A5 using next-generation sequencing. We investigated the expression and cellular localization of the novel compound heterozygous mutation in SLC5A5. The functional activity of the mutants was further examined in vitro.

Results

In 273 patients with CH, two previously undescribed pathogenic mutations p.Gly51AlafsTer45 (G51fs) and p.Gly421Arg (G421R) in a compound heterozygous state in SLC5A5 were identified in a pediatric patient. G51fs was located in the first intercellular loop connecting transmembrane segment I and II, whereas G421R was in the transmembrane segment (TMS) XI. G51fs and G421R resulted in a truncated NIS and reduced protein expression, respectively. In vitro experiments further showed that the normal function of iodine transport of sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) mutants was markedly impaired.

Conclusion

The undescribed compound heterozygous mutation of SLC5A5 was discovered in a Chinese CH patient. The mutation led to significantly reduced NIS expression and impaired iodide transport function accompanied by the impaired location of the NIS on the plasma membrane. Our study thus provides further insights into the roles of SLC5A5 in CH pathogenesis.

Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the DUOX2/DUOXA2 Genes Cause Congenital Hypothyroidism.

Project description:The mutations in the dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) and dual oxidase maturation factor 2 (DUOXA2) genes can cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). This study reports the pedigree with goitrous congenital hypothyroidism (GCH) due to the coexistence of heterozygous mutations in the DUOX2 and DUOXA2 genes. The two sisters with GCH were diagnosed with CH at neonatal screening and were enrolled in this study. The DUOX2, DUOXA2, and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) genes were considered for genetic defects screening. Family members of the patients and normal controls were also enrolled and evaluated. The two girls harbored compound heterozygous mutations, including a new mutation of c.2654G>T (p.R885L) in the maternal DUOX2 allele and c.738C>G (p.Y246X) in the paternal DUOXA2 allele, that has been previously reported. The germline mutations from the families were consistent with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. No mutations in the TPO gene and the controls were observed.

A Novel Missense Mutation in the SLC5A5 Gene in a Sudanese Family with Congenital Hypothyroidism.

Project description:Thyroid hormone synthesis requires the presence of iodide. The sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) is a glycoprotein that mediates the active uptake of iodide from the blood stream into the thyroid grand. NIS defects due to SLC5A5 gene mutations are known to cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). The proposita is a 28-year-old female whose origin is North Sudan where neonatal screening for CH is not available. She presented with severe constipation and a goiter at the age of 40 days. Laboratory testing confirmed CH, and she was started on levothyroxine. Presumably due to the delayed treatment, the patient developed mental retardation. Her younger sister presented with a goiter, tongue protrusion, and umbilical hernia, and the youngest brother was also diagnosed with CH based on a thyrotropin level >100??IU/mL at the age of 22 days and 8 days, respectively. The two siblings were treated with levothyroxine and had normal development. Their consanguineous parents had no history of thyroid disorders. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the proposita. This identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in the SLC5A5 gene-c.1042T>G, p.Y348D-which was subsequently confirmed by Sanger sequencing. All affected children were homozygous for the same mutation, and their unaffected mother was heterozygous. The NIS protein is composed of 13 transmembrane segments (TMS), an extracellular amino-terminus, and an intracellular carboxy-terminus. The mutation is located in the TMS IX, which has the most ?-OH group-containing amino acids (serine and threonine), which is implicated in Na+ binding and translocation. In conclusion, a novel homozygous missense mutation in the SLC5A5 gene was identified in this Sudanese family with CH. The mutation is located in the TMS IX of the NIS protein, which is essential for NIS function. Low iodine intake in Sudan is considered to affect the severity of hypothyroidism in patients.

Novel compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in ASCC1 in a Chinese patient with spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 : Evidence supporting a "Definitive" gene-disease relationship.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A very limited spectrum of ASCC1 pathogenic variants had been reported in six (mostly consanguineous) families with spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 [OMIM #616867] since 2016. METHODS:A proband from a non-consanguineous Chinese family presented with neonatal severe hypotonia, respiratory distress, muscle weakness, and atrophy, as well as congenital bone fractures was performed by exome sequencing. RESULTS:A compound heterozygosity of a nonsense (c.932C>G,p.Ser311Ter) and an exon 5 deletion in ASCC1 segregating with phenotypes was detected, both variants are novel and pathogenic. Since ASCC1 is a relatively new disease gene, we performed the gene curation by ClinGen SOP. The existing evidence is sufficient to support a "Definitive" level of disease-gene relationship. CONCLUSION:This case report expended the mutation spectrum of ASCC1 and support the notion that this novel disease also occurs in outbreed populations and this is a rare disease but may still be underdiagnosed due to its perinatal lethal outcomes.

Novel USH2A compound heterozygous mutations cause RP/USH2 in a Chinese family.

Project description:PURPOSE:To identify the disease-causing gene in a four-generation Chinese family affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS:Linkage analysis was performed with a panel of microsatellite markers flanking the candidate genetic loci of RP. These loci included 38 known RP genes. The complete coding region and exon-intron boundaries of Usher syndrome 2A (USH2A) were sequenced with the proband DNA to screen the disease-causing gene mutation. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and direct DNA sequence analysis were done to demonstrate co-segregation of the USH2A mutations with the family disease. One hundred normal controls were used without the mutations. RESULTS:The disease-causing gene in this Chinese family was linked to the USH2A locus on chromosome 1q41. Direct DNA sequence analysis of USH2A identified two novel mutations in the patients: one missense mutation p.G1734R in exon 26 and a splice site mutation, IVS32+1G>A, which was found in the donor site of intron 32 of USH2A. Neither the p.G1734R nor the IVS32+1G>A mutation was found in the unaffected family members or the 100 normal controls. One patient with a homozygous mutation displayed only RP symptoms until now, while three patients with compound heterozygous mutations in the family of study showed both RP and hearing impairment. CONCLUSIONS:This study identified two novel mutations: p.G1734R and IVS32+1G>A of USH2A in a four-generation Chinese RP family. In this study, the heterozygous mutation and the homozygous mutation in USH2A may cause Usher syndrome Type II or RP, respectively. These two mutations expand the mutant spectrum of USH2A.

Novel Compound Heterozygous CBS Mutations Cause Homocystinuria in a Han Chinese Family.

Project description:The cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) gene has been shown to be related to homocystinuria. This study was aimed to detect the mutations in CBS in a Han Chinese family with homocystinuria. A four-generation family from Shandong Province of China was recruited in this study. All available members of the family underwent comprehensive medical examinations. Genomic DNA was collected from peripheral blood of all the participants. The coding sequence of CBS was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by direct DNA sequencing. Among all the family members, three affected individuals showed typical clinical features of homocystinuria. Two novel compound heterozygous mutations in the CBS gene, c.407T?>?C (p. L136P) and c.473C?>?T (p.A158V), were identified by sequencing analysis in this family. Both of the two missense mutations were detected in the three patients. Other available normal individuals, including the patients' parents, grand parents, her younger sister and brother in this family either carried one of the two mutations, or none. In addition, the two mutations were not found in 600 ethnically matched normal controls. This study provides a mutation spectrum of CBS resulting in homocystinuriain a Chinese population, which may shed light on the molecular pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis of CBS-associated homocystinuria.

Novel compound heterozygous mutations in the PANK2 gene in a Chinese patient with atypical pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration.

Project description:We investigated the presence of mutations in the pantothenate kinase (PANK2) gene in a 27-year-old male Chinese patient with atypical pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), formerly Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome. Automated DNA sequence analyses revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the exon 3 and 5. This patient had a 10-year history of PKAN characterized by a slight tremor of the right hand when writing at onset and a slow progressive rigidity of the neck and the right arm and resting tremor in upper extremities. Dysarthria, dysphagia, and dystonic-athetoid movements of the face and right fingers were marked. Magnetic resonance showed the typical "eye-of-the-tiger" sign.

Compound heterozygous missense mutations in a Chinese mucopolysaccharidosis type VI patient: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by mutations in the arylsulfatase B (ARSB) gene. MPS VI is a multisystemic disease resulting from a deficiency in arylsulfatase B causing an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the tissues and organs of the body. In this report, we present the case of a 16-year-old Chinese male who presented with vision loss caused by corneal opacity. MPS VI was confirmed by genetic diagnosis.Case presentationA 16-year-old Chinese male presented with a one-year history of binocular vision loss. The best-corrected visual acuity was 0.25 in the right eye and 0.5 in the left eye. Although slit-lamp examination revealed corneal opacification in both eyes, the ocular examinations of his parents were normal. At the same time, the patient presented with kyphotic deformity, short stature, joint and skeletal malformation, thick lips, long fingers, and coarse facial features. Genetic assessments revealed that ARSB was the causative gene. Compound heterozygous missense mutations were found in the ARSB gene, namely c.1325G > A (p. Thr442Met) (M1) and c.1197G > C (p. Phe399Leu) (M2). Genetic diagnosis confirmed that the patient had MPS VI.ConclusionsThis paper reports a case of MPS VI confirmed by genetic diagnosis. MPS VI is a multisystem metabolic disease, with corneal opacity as a concomitant ocular symptom. As it is difficult for ophthalmologists to definitively diagnose MPS VI, genetic testing is useful for disease confirmation.

Identification of Novel Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the GAN Gene of a Chinese Patient Diagnosed With Giant Axonal Neuropathy.

Project description:Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by abnormally large and dysfunctional neuronal axons. Mutations in the GAN gene have been identified as the cause of this disorder. In this report, we performed a detailed phenotypic assessment of a Chinese patient with GAN. An array-based exon capture test and targeted next-generation sequencing were used to detect the suspected mutation sites. Compound heterozygous mutations of p.S79L (c.236C > T) in the BTB domain and p.T489S (c.1466C > G) in the kelch domain were identified in the proband's genome. S79L was a known mutation, and T489S was reported for the first time. The p.S79L and p.T489S were confirmed in the proband's mother and father, respectively. Both mutations were located in highly conserved regions and affected the predicted protein crystal structures. The proband's sural biopsy revealed the classical GAN phenotype of swollen axons filled with closely packed neurofilaments. The combined application of the next-generation sequencing platform and bioinformatics analyses was an effective method for diagnosing GAN. The novel compound mutations of S79L and T489S in the GAN gene were likely the cause of the patient's GAN symptoms. Our findings enrich the spectrum of mutations associated with this rare type of axonopathy.

Novel compound heterozygous mutations in ABCA4 in a Chinese pedigree with Stargardt disease.

Project description:Stargardt disease (STGD) is a common macular dystrophy in juveniles that is commonly inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Mutations in five genes (ABCA4, PROM1, ELOVL4, BEST1, and PRPH2) have been reported to be associated with STGD. In the present study, we aimed to identify the pathogenic mutations in affected members in a Chinese STGD pedigree.One patient was selected for whole-exome sequencing. Variants in five candidate genes were identified initially, followed by several filtering steps against public and private variation databases (1000Genomes, ESP6500si, ExAC, and in-house database), as well as bioinformatic analysis of the putative pathogenic roles. Sanger sequencing was used for cosegregation analysis among all members with available DNA.Two mutations in ABCA4 (NM_000350.2; c.5646G>A; p.Met1882Ile and NM_000350.2; c.3523-2A>G) were found using whole-exome sequencing. Cosegregation analysis confirmed all the affected members carried the compound heterozygous mutations while the other healthy members had at most one. The missense mutation was extremely rare in public databases and predicted to be deleterious. The splice-site mutation was absent from all public and private databases and was predicted to alter the splice pattern, resulting in an exon skip and a frameshift.Using whole-exome sequencing, we found novel compound heterozygous mutations in ABCA4 in a Chinese STGD pedigree. These mutations are reported for the first time, therefore widening the mutation spectrum of Stargardt disease. The present study also illustrates the potential of whole-exome sequencing in determining the genetic cause of STGD.
