Our goal was to identify the gene(s) associated with an early-onset form of Parkinson disease (PD) and the molecular defects associated with this mutation.
We combined whole-exome sequencing and functional genomics to identify the genes associated with early-onset PD. We used fluorescence microscopy, cell, and mitochondrial biology measurements to identify the molecular defects resulting from the identified mutation.
Here, we report an association of a homozygous variant in , encoding coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing protein 2, a mitochondrial protein of unknown function, with an early-onset form of PD in a 26-year-old Caucasian woman. The mutation in PD patient fibroblasts causes fragmentation of the mitochondrial reticular morphology and results in reduced oxidative phosphorylation at complex I and complex IV. Although patient cells could maintain a proton motive force, reactive oxygen species production was increased, which correlated with an increased metabolic rate.
Our findings implicate in the pathogenesis of recessive early-onset PD, expanding the repertoire of mitochondrial proteins that play a direct role in this disease.
我们的目标是鉴定与早发型帕金森病(PD)相关的基因以及与该突变相关的分子缺陷。
我们结合全外显子组测序和功能基因组学来鉴定与早发型PD相关的基因。我们使用荧光显微镜、细胞和线粒体生物学测量来鉴定由所鉴定的突变导致的分子缺陷。
在此,我们报告了在一名26岁的白种女性中,编码含卷曲螺旋 - 螺旋 - 卷曲螺旋 - 螺旋结构域蛋白2(一种功能未知的线粒体蛋白)的基因中的纯合变异与早发型PD相关。PD患者成纤维细胞中的该突变导致线粒体网状形态破碎,并导致复合体I和复合体IV处的氧化磷酸化减少。尽管患者细胞能够维持质子动力势,但活性氧的产生增加,这与代谢率增加相关。
我们的发现表明该基因参与隐性早发型PD的发病机制,扩展了在该疾病中起直接作用的线粒体蛋白种类。
