Recently, mutations in PNPLA2 encoding adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) were reported to underlie a neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) subgroup characterized by mild myopathy and the absence of ichthyosis. In the present study a novel homozygous PNPLA2 mutation c.475_478dupCTCC (p.Gln160ProfsX19) in the patatin domain, the ATGL active site, was detected in a woman with NLSD and severe myopathy. The present results suggest that a premature truncation mutation in the patatin domain causes NLSD with severe myopathy.
最近,据报道,编码脂肪甘油三酯脂肪酶(ATGL)的PNPLA2基因突变是一种中性脂质贮积病(NLSD)亚组的病因,该亚组的特征为轻度肌病且无鱼鳞病。在本研究中,在一名患有NLSD和严重肌病的女性中检测到patatin结构域(ATGL活性位点)存在一种新的纯合PNPLA2突变c.475_478dupCTCC(p.Gln160ProfsX19)。目前的结果表明,patatin结构域中的过早截断突变会导致伴有严重肌病的NLSD。
