Abstract

Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by dysfunction of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. The enzyme deficiency is mainly due to mutations in the gene, and it is responsible for the accumulation of glucosylceramide within the lysosomes of monocyte macrophage-derived cells; causing the associated symptomatology. In this paper, we describe six new mutations identified in the gene, which, in combination with other mutations already documented, lead to absent or reduced glucocerebrosidase activity, resulting in pathological accumulation of the specific substrate and the clinical manifestations associated with Gaucher disease. We have identified three mutations (c.1578_1581dup, c.1308dup, and Y492X) that determine the formation of a premature stop codon in the translation process and three missense mutations (C342F, M280L, and Q247R) that lead to amino acid changes in proteins, resulting in decreased glucocerebrosidase activity. These mutations were never observed in our group of healthy control subjects > 1500 individuals. The patients examined had several clinical manifestations, which included hepatosplenomegaly and bone and hematologic involvement; considering the absence of enzyme activity, this suggests that the new mutations described here are associated with type I Gaucher disease. The identification of new mutations in patients with symptoms referable to Gaucher disease increases the molecular knowledge related to the gene and offers to clinicians significant support for the accurate diagnosis of the pathology.

摘要

戈谢病是一种常染色体隐性疾病,由葡糖脑苷脂酶功能障碍引起。该酶缺乏主要归因于该基因的突变,它导致葡糖神经酰胺在单核巨噬细胞衍生细胞的溶酶体内蓄积,从而引发相关症状。在本文中,我们描述了在该基因中鉴定出的六个新突变,这些突变与已记录的其他突变一起,导致葡糖脑苷脂酶活性缺失或降低,进而导致特定底物的病理性蓄积以及与戈谢病相关的临床表现。我们鉴定出三个在翻译过程中决定过早终止密码子形成的突变(c.1578_1581dup、c.1308dup和Y492X)以及三个导致蛋白质中氨基酸变化从而降低葡糖脑苷脂酶活性的错义突变(C342F、M280L和Q247R)。在我们超过1500名健康对照个体中从未观察到这些突变。所检查的患者有多种临床表现,包括肝脾肿大以及骨骼和血液系统受累;考虑到酶活性缺失,这表明此处描述的新突变与I型戈谢病相关。在有戈谢病相关症状的患者中鉴定出新突变,增加了与该基因相关的分子知识,并为临床医生准确诊断该疾病提供了重要支持。
