Mutations in three different genes of phosphorylase kinase (Phk) subunits,
PHKA2, PHKB and PHKG2, can give rise to glycogen storage disease of the
liver. The autosomal-recessive, liver-specific variant of Phk deficiency is
caused by mutations in the gene encoding the testis/liver isoform of the
catalytic gamma subunit, PHKG2. To facilitate mutation detection and to
improve our understanding of the molecular evolution of Phk subunit
isoforms, we have determined the structure of the human PHKG2 gene. The
gene extends over 9.5 kilonucleotides and is divided into 10 exons;
positions of introns are highly conserved between PHKG2 and the gene of the
muscle isoform of the gamma subunit, PHKG1. The beginning of intron 2
harbors a highly informative GGT/GT microsatellite repeat, the first
polymorphic marker in the PHKG2 gene at human chromosome 16p11.2-p12.1.
Employing the gene sequence, we have identified homozygous
translation-terminating mutations, 277delC and Arg44ter, in the two
published cases of liver Phk deficiency who developed cirrhosis in
childhood. As liver Phk deficiency is generally a benign condition and
progression to cirrhosis is very rare, this finding suggests that PHKG2
mutations are associated with an increased cirrhosis risk.

Muscle-specific deficiency of phosphorylase kinase (Phk) causes glycogen storage disease, clinically manifesting in exercise intolerance with early fatiguability, pain, cramps and occasionally myoglobinuria. In two patients and in a mouse mutant with muscle Phk deficiency, mutations were previously found in the muscle isoform of the Phk alpha subunit, encoded by the X-chromosomal PHKA1 gene (MIM # 311870). No mutations have been identified in the muscle isoform of the Phk gamma subunit (PHKG1). In the present study, we determined Q1the structure of the PHKG1 gene and characterized its relationship to several pseudogenes. In six patients with adult- or juvenile-onset muscle glycogenosis and low Phk activity, we then searched for mutations in eight candidate genes. The coding sequences of all six genes that contribute to Phk in muscle were analysed: PHKA1, PHKB, PHKG1, CALM1, CALM2 and CALM3. We also analysed the genes of the muscle isoform of glycogen phosphorylase (PYGM), of a muscle-specific regulatory subunit of the AMP-dependent protein kinase (PRKAG3), and the promoter regions of PHKA1, PHKB and PHKG1. Only in one male patient did we find a PHKA1 missense mutation (D299V) that explains the enzyme deficiency. Two patients were heterozygous for single amino-acid replacements in PHKB that are of unclear significance (Q657K and Y770C). No sequence abnormalities were found in the other three patients. If these results can be generalized, only a fraction of cases with muscle glycogenosis and a biochemical diagnosis of low Phk activity are caused by coding, splice-site or promoter mutations in PHKA1, PHKG1 or other Phk subunit genes. Most patients with this diagnosis probably are affected either by elusive mutations of Phk subunit genes or by defects in other, unidentified genes. 相似文献

In five cases of X-linked liver glycogenosis subtype 2 (XLG2), we have
identified mutations in the gene encoding the liver isoform of the
phosphorylase kinase alpha subunit (PHKA2). XLG2 is a rare variant of X-
linked phosphorylase kinase (Phk) deficiency of the liver. Whereas in the
more common form of X-linked hepatic Phk deficiency, XLG1, the enzyme's
activity is decreased both in liver and in blood cells, Phk activity in
XLG2 is low in liver but normal or even enhanced in blood cells. Although
missense, nonsense and splicesite mutations in the PHKA2 gene were recently
identified in several cases of XLG1, no mutations have yet been described
for XLG2 and a molecular explanation for the peculiar biochemical phenotype
of XLG2 has been lacking. All mutations found in the present study result
in non-conservative amino acid replacements of residues that are absolutely
conserved between the alpha L, alpha M and beta subunits of Phk [H132P,
H132Y, R186H (twice) and D299G]. Strikingly, in two pairs of cases the
mutations affect the same codon. These results demonstrate that: (i) XLG2
is caused by mutations in PHKA2 and is therefore allelic with XLG1; and
(ii) XLG2 mutations appear to cluster in limited sequence regions or even
individual codons.

Glycogen storage disease type IX (GSD type IX) results from a deficiency of hepatic phosphorylase kinase activity. The phosphorylase kinase holoenzyme is made up of four copies of each of four subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). The liver isoforms of the alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunits are encoded by PHKA2, PHKB and PHKG2, respectively. Mutation within these genes has been shown to result in GSD type IX. The diagnosis of GSD type IX is complicated by the spectrum of clinical symptoms, variation in tissue specificity and severity, and its inheritance, either X-linked or autosomal recessive. We investigated 15 patients from 12 families with suspected GSD type IX. Accurate diagnosis had been hampered by enzymology not being diagnostic in five cases. Clinical symptoms included combinations of hypoglycaemia, hepatosplenomegaly, short stature, hepatopathy, weakness, fatigue and motor delay. Biochemical findings included elevated lactate, urate and lipids. We characterised causative mutations in the PHKA2 gene in ten patients from eight families, in PHKG2 in two unrelated patients and in the PHKB gene in three patients from two families. Seven novel mutations were identified in PHKA2 (p.I337X, p.P498L, p.P869R, p.Y116_T120dup, p.R1070del, p.R916W and p.M113I), two in PHKG2 (p.L144P and p.H48QfsX5) and two in PHKB (p.Y419X and c.2336+965A>C). There was a severe phenotype in patients with PHKG2 mutations, a mild phenotype with patients PHKB mutations and a broad spectrum associated with PHKA2 mutations. Molecular analysis allows accurate diagnosis where enzymology is uninformative and identifies the pattern of inheritance permitting counselling and family studies. 相似文献

Liver phosphorylase b kinase (PhK) deficiency (glycogen storage disease type IX), one of the most common causes of glycogen storage disease, is caused by mutations in the PHKA2, PHKB, and PHKG2 genes. Presenting symptoms include hepatomegaly, ketotic hypoglycemia, and growth delay. Clinical severity varies widely. Autosomal recessive mutations in the PHKG2 gene, which cause about 10–15% of cases, have been associated with severe symptoms including increased risk of liver cirrhosis in childhood. We have summarized the molecular, biochemical, and clinical findings in five patients, age 5–16 years, diagnosed with liver PhK deficiency caused by PHKG2 gene mutations. We have identified five novel and two previously reported mutations in the PHKG2 gene in these five patients. Clinical severity was variable among these patients. Histopathological studies were performed for four of the patients on liver biopsy samples, all of which showed signs of fibrosis but not cirrhosis. One of the patients (aged 9 years) developed a liver adenoma which later resolved. All patients are currently doing well. Their clinical symptoms have improved with age and treatment. These cases add to the current knowledge of clinical variability in patients with PHKG2 mutations. Long term studies, involving follow-up of these patients into adulthood, are needed. 相似文献

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) due to a deficient hepatic phosphorylase system defines a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders that mainly manifests in children. We investigated 45 unrelated children in whom a liver GSD VI or IX was suspected on the basis of clinical symptoms including hepatomegaly, increased serum transaminases, postprandial lactatemia and/or mild fasting hypoglycemia. Liver phosphorylase and phosphorylase b kinase activities studied in peripheral blood cells allowed to suspect diagnosis in 37 cases but was uninformative in 5. Sequencing of liver phosphorylase genes was useful to establish an accurate diagnosis. Causative mutations were found either in the PYGL (11 patients), PHKA2 (26 patients), PHKG2 (three patients) or in the PHKB (three patients) genes. Eleven novel disease causative mutations, five missense (p.N188K, p.D228Y, p.P382L, p.R491H, p.L500R) and six truncating mutations (c.501_502ins361pb, c.528+2T>C, c.856-29_c.1518+614del, c.1620+1G>C, p.E703del and c.2313-1G>T) were identified in the PYGL gene. Seventeen novel disease causative mutations, ten missense (p.A42P, p.Q95R, p.G131D, p.G131V, p.Q134R, p.G187R, p.G300V, p.G300A, p.C326Y, p.W820G) and seven truncating (c.537+5G>A, p.G396DfsX28, p.Q404X, p.N653X, p.L855PfsX87, and two large deletions) were identified in the PHKA2 gene. Four novel truncating mutations (p.R168X, p.Q287X, p.I268PfsX12 and c.272-1G>C) were identified in the PHKG2 gene and three (c.573_577del, p.R364X, c.2427+3A>G) in the PHKB gene. Patients with PHKG2 mutations evolved towards cirrhosis. Molecular analysis of GSD VI or IX genes allows to confirm diagnosis suspected on the basis of enzymatic analysis and to establish diagnosis and avoid liver biopsy when enzymatic studies are not informative in blood cells. 相似文献

Phosphorylase kinase (PhK) deficiency is the underlying cause of variable clinical symptoms depending on the tissues involved. Until today, only a few cases of myopathy associated with muscle PhK deficiency caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the alpha subunit of phosphorylase kinase (PHKA1) have been reported. We describe a male patient with myopathy and absent muscle PhK activity caused by a frameshift mutation in the gene encoding the alpha subunit of PhK on chromosome Xq12-q13. 相似文献

X-linked liver glycogenosis type II (XLG II) is a recently described X-
linked liver glycogen storage disease, mainly characterized by enlarged
liver and growth retardation. These clinical symptoms are very similar to
those of XLG I. In contrast to XLG I patients, however, XLG II patients do
not show an in vitro enzymatic deficiency of phosphorylase kinase (PHK).
Recently, mutations were identified in the gene encoding the liver alpha
subunit of PHK (PHKA2) in XLG I patients. We have now studied the PHKA2
gene of four unrelated XLG II patients and identified four different
mutations in the open reading frame, including a deletion of three
nucleotides, an insertion of six nucleotides and two missense mutations.
These results indicate that XLG II is due to mutations in PHKA2. In
contrast to XLG I, XLG II is caused by mutations that lead to minor
structural abnormalities in the primary structure of the liver alpha
subunit of PHK. These mutations are found in a conserved RXX(X)T motif,
resembling known phosphorylation sites that might be involved in the
regulation of PHK. These findings might explain why the in vitro PHK
enzymatic activity is not deficient in XLG II, whereas it is in XLG I.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease, which presents clinically as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). We report here two novel mutations in the PNP gene that result in SCID phenotype, in a single patient. The maternal-derived allele carries a C to T transition in exon 2 resulting in a premature stop codon at amino acid 57. The paternal-derived mutation is a G to A transition at position +1 in intron 3, causing a complete skipping of exon 3 and a reading frameshift at the exon 2-exon 4 junction. The predicted polypeptide encoded by the aberrantly spliced mRNA terminates prematurely after only 89 amino acids. Both mutations predict severely truncated proteins resulting in a complete deficiency of PNP enzymatic activity, yet the development of profound immunodeficiency in this patient is greatly delayed. 相似文献

Mutations in the insulin receptor gene have been reported in cases of type A insulin resistance. We report herein two cases of type A insulin resistance, which involve some novel mutations. Case 1 is a heterozygote of the C253Y missense mutation and case 2 is a heterozygote of the Y864X nonsense mutation. In the C253Y missense mutation in exon 3, a cysteine residue is replaced with tyrosine in the cysteine-rich domain of the alpha subunit. The Y864X in exon 13 results in a truncated receptor, which is devoid of most of the beta subunit. This mutant receptor could not be expressed on a cell membrane since the transmembrane domain is missing. Other significant mutations were not found for the entire coding regions and splice/donor sites. 相似文献

Glycogen storage disease confined to the heart with deficient activity of cardiac phosphorylase kinase: a new type of glycogen storage disease 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The case of a male infant with marked deposition of glycogen, confined to the heart, is presented. Clinically, prominent cardiomegaly had been evident from immediately after birth until the infant's death due to heart failure. There were no significant clinical manifestations in other organs, including liver and skeletal muscle, during the clinical course. Autopsy revealed abnormal deposition of normally structured glycogen in the heart, but no deposition in the liver, skeletal muscle, or other systemic organs. This unusual pattern of glycogen deposition was also confirmed by measurement of the glycogen content of each organ. This is the first report of glycogen storage disease confined to the heart. Enzymatic analysis revealed no decrease in the activities of acid maltase, amylo-1,6-glucosidase, and phosphorylase in the heart or in the liver or skeletal muscle. However, phosphorylase kinase activity was not detectable in the heart, although high activity levels were observed in the liver and skeletal muscle. In this case the inborn error of metabolism responsible for the isolated deposition of glycogen in heart muscle may have been due to a deficiency of cardiac phosphorylase kinase. 相似文献

X-linked liver glycogenosis (XLG) is caused by a mutation in the PHKA2 gene which encodes the alpha subunit of phosphorylase kinase (PHK). Although XLG is not a rare disease, there have been no reports of PHKA2 mutations in Koreans. A 5-year-old boy presented with easy fatigability and hepatomegaly. Liver enzymes were increased and liver histology revealed deposition of glycogen. The PHK activity was markedly decreased compared to control. No amplification was observed at exon 8 of the PHKA2 gene, as a result of the deletion of exon 8. Sequence analysis revealed a hemizygous deletion in the region of exon 8 (c.717+781_864+225del1626). The patient was diagnosed as having XLG I. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of XLG I in Koreans. 相似文献

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency is an inherited disease of purine metabolism characterized clinically as combined immunodeficiency. The molecular defects have been published for 4 different alleles in 3 patients. We report four new mutations including two amino acid substitutions, A 174P and G190V, a single codon deletion, ΔI129, and a point mutation in intron 3 which leads to aberrant splicing and creation of a premature stop codon in exon 4 (286 -18G→A). Of the previously reported mutations, E89K was found in one additional patient, and R234P was found in 3 unrelated patients, making R234P the most common mutation reported to date in this disease.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway. PNP deficiency, caused by the autosomal recessive mutations in the PNP gene, can lead to severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).PNP deficiency patients typically have profound T-cell deficiency with variable B and NK cell functions. They present clinically with recurrent infections, failure to thrive, various neurological disorders, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only available cure for patients with PNP deficiency.We present three patients, two of whom were successfully treated with HSCT. One patient died prior to HSCT due to EBV-associated lymphoma. Over the course of post-HSCT, there was no further aggravation of the patients’ neurological symptoms. Although both of the patients still had mild developmental delay, new developmental milestones were achieved. 相似文献

Isolated glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is an X linked recessive disorder. The clinical and biochemical picture may vary from a childhood metabolic crisis to asymptomatic adult "pseudohypertriglyceridaemia", the result of hyperglycerolaemia. We performed glycerol kinase (GK) gene analysis to study the molecular heterogeneity and genotype-phenotype correlation in eight males from three families with isolated GKD. All patients had hyperglycerolaemia and glyceroluria. Four patients from two families were essentially free of symptoms. Three patients had gastrointestinal symptoms with ketoacidosis or hypoglycaemia or both. One patient had recurrent convulsions as the only acute sign, without evidence that it was correlated with a catabolic state. Fasting tests in two symptomatic patients of family 1 showed hyperketotic states, together with a tendency to hypoglycaemia. The diagnosis was confirmed by a defective 14C-glycerol incorporation into trichloroacetic acid precipitable macromolecules in intact skin fibroblasts. Mutation screening of the GK gene was performed by amplification and direct sequencing of exons using PCR. Three novel mutations were identified: (1) a deletion starting downstream of exon 9, extending to the 3' end of the gene; (2) a nonsense mutation R413X caused by a C1351T transition; and (3) a missense mutation W503R caused by a T1651C transition. In addition, we found differences from the reported sequence: (1) exon 9 actually consists of two exons, which consequently will change the number of GK gene exons from 19 to 20 exons, and (2) nucleotide differences in exon 19. So far, no genotype-phenotype correlation can be established in these GKD families. 相似文献

D-glyceric aciduria is a rare inborn error of serine and fructose metabolism that was first described in 1974. Most affected individuals have presented with neurological symptoms. The molecular basis of D-glyceric aciduria is largely unknown; possible causes that have been discussed are deficiencies of D-glycerate dehydrogenase, triokinase, and D-glycerate kinase. In 1989, van Schaftingen has reported decreased D-glycerate kinase activity in the liver of a single patient with D-glyceric aciduria. However, this analysis has not been performed in other affected individuals, and the underlying defect has remained unknown on the gene level until now. We report three patients with deficiency of D-glycerate kinase. They are of Serbian, Mexican, and Turkish origin and include the patient initially reported in 1974. All had homozygous mutations in exon 5 of the GLYCTK gene encoding D-glycerate kinase: c.1448delT (p.Phe483SerfsX2), c.1478T>G (p.Phe493Cys), or c.1558delC (p.Leu520CysfsX108). Transient overexpression of the variant GLYCTK genes in HEK293 cells clearly showed loss of enzyme activity and immunoreactivity when compared to the reference enzyme. Our work has revealed mutations in the GLYCTK gene as the cause of D-glycerate kinase deficiency and D-glyceric aciduria and provides a noninvasive approach for further diagnostic workup and research. 相似文献

We identified three new and three known mutations in male patients with OTC deficiency using PCR amplification of all the individual exons, including the adjacent intron sequences, followed by direct sequencing of the amplimers. Two mutations were found in males presenting with neonatal fatal hyperammonemia and no detectable enzyme activity in their livers. The H302Y mutation found in one patient affects the putative binding site for ornithine. The second patient had an R141X mutation, which is one of the few recurrent mutations in the OTC gene. Four different missense mutations were identified in male patients with late onset of the disease and residual OTC activities between 14% and 35%. The mutations are Y176C and P220A and the known mutations K88N and T343K, respectively. Four of the patients' mothers were identified as carriers. In two cases, the mutations had occurred spontaneously. In addition, the frequency of four polymorphisms of the OTC gene was studied. The K46R polymorphism in exon 2 and the Q270R polymorphism in exon 8 were found in 36% and 4% of screened alleles, respectively. Two questionable polymorphisms in exon 4, F101L and L111P, were not present in any of the screened alleles. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
