Abstract

Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome has been known to be caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations in GLUD1, encoding the mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase. Pathogenic GLUD1 mutations enhance enzymatic activity by reducing its sensitivity to allosteric inhibition by GTP. Two recent independent studies showed that a similar HI/HA phenotype can be caused by biallelic mutations in SLC25A36, encoding pyrimidine nucleotide carrier 2 (PNC2), a mitochondrial nucleotide carrier that transports pyrimidine and guanine nucleotides across the inner mitochondrial membrane: one study reported a single case caused by a homozygous truncating mutation in SLC25A36 resulting in lack of expression of SLC25A36 in patients' fibroblasts. A second study described two siblings with a splice site mutation in SLC25A36, causing reduction of mitochondrial GTP content, putatively leading to hyperactivation of glutamate dehydrogenase. In an independent study, through combined linkage analysis and exome sequencing, we demonstrate in four individuals of two Bedouin Israeli related families the same disease-causing SLC25A36 (NM_018155.3) c.284 + 3A > T homozygous splice-site mutation found in the two siblings. We demonstrate that the mutation, while causing skipping of exon 3, does not abrogate expression of mRNA and protein of the mutant SLC25A36 in patients' blood and fibroblasts. Affected individuals had hyperinsulinism, hyperammonemia, borderline low birth weight, tonic-clonic seizures commencing around 6 months of age, yet normal intellect and no significant other morbidities. Chronic constipation, hypothyroidism, and developmental delay previously described in a single patient were not found. We thus verify that biallelic SLC25A36 mutations indeed cause HI/HA syndrome and clearly delineate the disease phenotype.

摘要

高胰岛素血症/高血氨(HI/HA)综合征已知是由编码线粒体酶谷氨酸脱氢酶的 GLUD1 显性获得性功能突变引起的。致病性 GLUD1 突变通过降低其对 GTP 变构抑制的敏感性来增强酶活性。最近的两项独立研究表明,SLC25A36 的双等位基因突变也可导致类似的 HI/HA 表型,SLC25A36 编码嘧啶核苷酸载体 2(PNC2),一种线粒体核苷酸载体,可将嘧啶和鸟嘌呤核苷酸穿过线粒体内膜:一项研究报告了一例由 SLC25A36 纯合截断突变引起的单一病例,导致患者成纤维细胞中 SLC25A36 表达缺失。第二项研究描述了两名携带 SLC25A36 剪接位点突变的同胞,导致线粒体 GTP 含量减少,推测导致谷氨酸脱氢酶过度激活。在一项独立的研究中,我们通过连锁分析和外显子组测序,在两个来自贝都因以色列相关家庭的四个人中证明了相同的致病 SLC25A36(NM_018155.3)c.284 + 3A > T 纯合剪接位点突变。我们证明,该突变虽然导致外显子 3 跳跃,但不会使突变的 SLC25A36 mRNA 和蛋白在患者的血液和成纤维细胞中表达缺失。受影响的个体表现为高胰岛素血症、高血氨症、边缘性低出生体重、6 个月左右开始出现强直阵挛性发作,但智力正常,无其他明显的多发病。之前在一名患者中描述的慢性便秘、甲状腺功能减退和发育迟缓并未发现。因此,我们验证了双等位基因 SLC25A36 突变确实会导致 HI/HA 综合征,并明确了疾病表型。
