Niemann-Pick Disease type C is a fatal autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder caused by NPC1 or NPC2 gene mutations and characterized by progressive, disabling neurological deterioration and hepatosplenomegaly. Herein, we identified a novel compound heterozygous mutations of the NPC1 gene in a Chinese pedigree.
This paper describes an 11-year-old boy with aggravated walking instability and slurring of speech who presented as Niemann-Pick Disease type C. He had the maternally inherited c.3452 C > T (p. Ala1151Val) mutation and the paternally inherited c.3557G > A (p. Arg1186His) mutation using next-generation sequencing. The c.3452 C > T (p. Ala1151Val) mutation has not previously been reported.
This study predicted that the c.3452 C > T (p. Ala1151Val) mutation is pathogenic. This data enriches the NPC1 gene variation spectrum and provides a basis for familial genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.
尼曼-匹克病 C 型是一种致命的常染色体隐性脂质贮积症,由 NPC1 或 NPC2 基因突变引起,其特征为进行性、致残性神经恶化和肝脾肿大。在此,我们在一个中国家系中鉴定出 NPC1 基因的一种新型复合杂合突变。
本文描述了一名 11 岁男孩,行走不稳加重,言语含糊,被诊断为尼曼-匹克病 C 型。他携带母系遗传的 c.3452C>T(p.Ala1151Val)突变和父系遗传的 c.3557G>A(p.Arg1186His)突变,使用下一代测序技术进行鉴定。c.3452C>T(p.Ala1151Val)突变此前尚未报道。
本研究预测 c.3452C>T(p.Ala1151Val)突变是致病性的。该数据丰富了 NPC1 基因突变谱,为家族遗传咨询和产前诊断提供了依据。
