encodes the calcium and diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor I (CalDAG-GEFI) identified as a Rap1-activating molecule. Pathogenic variants previously identified in allowed the characterization of CalDAG-GEFI deficiency as a non-syndromic, autosomal recessive platelet function disease. We report on the clinical manifestations and laboratory features of a Portuguese family with a likely pathogenic variant in (c.999G>C leading to a p.Lys333Asn change in the CDC25 catalytic domain of CalDAG-GEFI) and discuss the contribution of this variant to the disease manifestations. Based on the study of this family with one homozygous patient and five heterozygous carriers and on a critical analysis of the literature, we challenge previous knowledge that CalDAG-GEFI deficiency only manifests in homozygous patients. Our data suggest that at least for the variant reported herein, there is a phenotypic expression, albeit milder, in heterozygous carriers.
编码钙和二酰基甘油(DAG)调节的鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子 I(CalDAG-GEFI),被鉴定为一种 Rap1 激活分子。先前在 中发现的致病性变异体允许将 CalDAG-GEFI 缺乏症表征为非综合征性、常染色体隐性血小板功能疾病。我们报告了一个葡萄牙家庭的临床表现和实验室特征,该家庭可能存在 (c.999G>C 导致 CalDAG-GEFI 的 CDC25 催化结构域中 Lys333Asn 变化)中的致病性变异体,并讨论了该变异体对疾病表现的贡献。基于对一个纯合子患者和五个杂合子携带者的家族研究以及对文献的批判性分析,我们挑战了 CalDAG-GEFI 缺乏症仅在纯合子患者中表现的先前知识。我们的数据表明,至少对于本文报道的 变异体,杂合子携带者存在表型表达,尽管较轻。
