Founder mutation in the PMM2 promotor causes hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia/polycystic kidney disease (HIPKD).


ABSTRACT:

Background

Polycystic kidney disease with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HIPKD) is a recently described disease caused by a single nucleotide variant, c.-167G>T, in the promoter region of PMM2 (encoding phosphomannomutase 2), either in homozygosity or compound heterozygosity with a pathogenic coding variant in trans. All patients identified so far are of European descent, suggesting a possible founder effect.

Methods

We generated high density genotyping data from 11 patients from seven unrelated families, and used this information to identify a common haplotype that included the promoter variant. We estimated the age of the promoter mutation with DMLE+ software, using demographic parameters corresponding to the European population.

Results

All patients shared a 0.312 Mb haplotype which was absent in 503 European controls available in the 1000 Genomes Project. The age of this mutation was estimated as 105-110 generations, indicating its occurrence around 600 BC, a time of intense migration, which might explain the presence of the same mutations in Europeans around the globe.

Conclusion

The shared unique haplotype among seemingly unrelated patients is consistent with a founder effect in Europeans.
