Caveolin-3 deficiency is a rare, autosomal dominant, muscle disorder caused by caveolin-3 gene (CAV3) mutations and consists of four clinical phenotypes: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1C (LGMD-1C), rippling muscle disease, distal myopathy, and familial hyperCKemia. So far, only 13 mutations have been reported. We here report two novel heterozygous mutations, 96C>G (N32K) and 128T>A (V43E), in the CAV3 gene in two unrelated Japanese families with LGMD-1C. Both probands presented with elevated serum CK level with calf muscle hypertrophy in their childhood but without apparent muscle weakness. However, their mothers showed mild limb-girdle weakness in addition to high CK level. Caveolin-3 was deficient and caveolae were lacking in muscles from both patients. Our data confirm that caveolin-3 deficiency causes LGMD-1C and expand the variability in CAV3 gene mutations. 相似文献

We report a long-term outcome of motor function in a patient with adult-onset adrenoleukodystrophy after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Clinically motor function gradually improved and became almost normal in 2 years after BMT. Serial transcranial magnetic stimulation showed gradual improvement of central motor conduction until 1 year after BMT, and then it became stable. Central motor conduction time and motor threshold were useful for monitoring the central motor function in this patient. 相似文献

Two novel frameshift adrenoleukodystrophy mutations in two families were identified: a complex dinucleotide deletion/tetranucleotide insertion at 1116 TC-->GAGA (codon 244 [serine]) and an AG deletion at nucleotide 1462 (codon 359 [glutamic acid]). Both mutations are predicted to cause premature termination of protein synthesis. The patients were affected by childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy and by adrenomyeloneuropathy with mild Addison disease, respectively. 相似文献

We investigated the skeletal muscle voltage-gated chloride channel gene (CLCN1) in two unrelated Japanese patients with Becker's myotonia congenita. The non-myotonic parents of each patient were consanguineous. The proband of each family shares generalized myotonia, transient weakness after rest, and leg muscle hypertrophy. However, the disease severity related to the degree of myotonia differed, even in view of the response to long train nerve stimulation tests. CLCN1 gene analysis revealed a novel Ala659Val missense mutation identified to be homozygous in the more severe patient, while a novel Gln445Stop nonsense mutation was present in the other patient. Both mutations were absent in 90 Japanese normal controls. This is the first report of Japanese cases of Becker's myotonia congenita with CLCN1 gene mutations. 相似文献

Myotonia congenita (MC) is a genetic disease characterized by mutations in the muscle chloride channel gene (CLCN1). To date, approximately 130 different mutations on the CLCN1 gene have been identified. However, most of the studies have focused on Caucasians, and reports on CLCN1 mutations in Chinese population are rare. This study investigated the mutation of CLCN1 in two Chinese families with MC. Direct sequencing of the CLCN1 gene revealed a heterozygous mutation (892G>A, resulting in A298T) in one family and a compound heterozygous mutations (782A>G, resulting in Y261C; 1679T>C, resulting in M560T) in the other family, None of the 100 normal controls had these mutations. Our findings add more to the available information on the CLCN1 mutation spectrum, and provide a valuable reference for studying the mutation types and inheritance pattern of CLCN1 in the Chinese population. 相似文献

Introduction
Inherited antithrombin (AT) deficiency is associated with a predisposition to familial venous thromboembolic disease. We analyzed the AT gene in three unrelated patients with an AT deficiency who developed thrombosis.Materials and Methods
We analyzed the SERPINC1 gene in three patients. Additionally, we expressed the three mutants in the COS-1 cells and compared their secretion rates and levels of AT activity with those of the wild-type (WT).Results
We identified three distinct heterozygous mutations of c.2534C>T: p.56Arginine → Cysteine (R56C), c.13398C>A: p.459Alanine → Aspartic acid (A459D) and c.2703C>G: p.112 Proline → Arginine (P112R). In the in vitro expression experiments, the AT antigen levels in the conditioned media (CM) of the R56C mutant were nearly equal to those of WT. In contrast, the AT antigen levels in the CM of the A459D and P112R mutants were significantly decreased. The AT activity of R56C was decreased in association with a shorter incubation time in a FXa inhibition assay and a thrombin inhibition-based activity test. However, the AT activity of R56C was comparable to that of WT when the incubation time was increased.Conclusions
We concluded that the R56C mutant is responsible for type II HBS deficiency. We considered that the A459D and P112R mutants can be classified as belonging to the type I AT deficiency. 相似文献7.

BACKGROUND: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited peroxisomal disorder. It is caused by impaired function of ALD protein that results in accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids in tissues and body fluids. So far, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) constitutes the only curative approach able to prevent the progression of cerebral X-ALD. However, biological mechanisms of this beneficial approach are still unknown. OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of HSCT in a family with various X-ALD disease forms by ALD mutation and protein expression analysis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: In a family with various X-ALD forms, an ALD mutation screening was performed. Two boys had cerebral X-ALD and underwent HSCT. One of them is alive and well without any further neurological deterioration, whereas his cousin died of transplantation-related complications at day 76. The postmortem specimens were analyzed by genotyping and immunohistochemical assays. RESULTS: All of the affected family members carry an as-yet-undescribed large ALD gene deletion (NC_000023:g.152512130-152520645del) resulting in a complete lack of ALD protein expression on immunofluorescence analysis. After engraftment, both patients who underwent HSCT showed complete chimerism in blood. Postmortem studies in 1 patient revealed both mutant and wild-type ALD sequences in each of 23 analyzed tissues, indicating mixed chimerism. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining for ALD protein revealed no differences between patient and control tissues including blood cells, bone marrow, and glial cells as well as neurons. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, our analysis provides the first evidence for the stable development of a wild-type X-ALD genotype and peroxisomal ALD protein expression in a great variety of human tissues following HSCT. 相似文献

Characterization of two novel mutations of the antithrombin gene observed in Japanese thrombophilic patients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We investigated the molecular basis of reduced functional levels of antithrombin (AT) in two individuals suffering from thromboembolic events. In each case direct sequencing of amplified DNA revealed 13,260-13,262 del in one patient and 2511C>A in the other patient, predicting a heterozygous E381del and P16H, respectively. Both patients had no 20210A allele and factor V Leiden mutation. To understand the molecular mechanism responsible for antithrombin deficiency, stable expression experiments were performed using HEK293 cells transfected with the expression vector containing the wild-type or the mutated recombinant cDNA. In these experiments, the media levels of the two mutated antithrombins were the same as that of wild type, but the specific activity of the E381del mutant decreased significantly compared with that of wild type. These results showed that the E381del mutation was responsible for type II deficiency, whereas the other mutation, P16H, did not produce any definite abnormality which could contribute to antithrombin deficiency. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy: two families with novel mutations in the LGI1 gene 总被引:9,自引:2,他引:7
PURPOSE: Mutations in the leucine rich, glioma inactivated gene (LGI1) were recently described in a small number of families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE). ADLTE is characterized by partial seizures with symptoms suggestive of a lateral temporal onset, including frequent auditory aura. Here we report the results of clinical and genetic analyses of two newly identified families with ADTLE. METHODS: We identified two families whose seizure semiology was suggestive of ADLTE. Evaluation included a detailed history and neurologic examination, as well as collection of DNA. The coding sequence of the LGI1 gene from affected subjects from both families was analyzed for evidence of mutation. RESULTS: Each patient had a history of partial seizures, often with secondary generalization earlier in the course. Auditory aura was reported by approximately two thirds of affected patients in each pedigree. Novel mutations in LGI1 were detected in both families. A heterozygous single-nucleotide deletion at position 329 (del 329C) was detected in affected individuals from one family, whereas patients from the second family had a nonsynonymous variation, corresponding to C435G. CONCLUSIONS: We identified two novel mutations in the LGI1 gene. The phenotype of these two families was similar to that of other kindreds with ADLTE, as auditory aura was absent in one third of affected individuals. Our results further support that LGI1 mutations should be considered in patients with a history of partial seizures if the semiology of seizures is consistent with the onset in the lateral temporal lobe. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess neurological, neuropsychological, and neuroradiological findings in long-term survivors of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) who were recruited from a hematological outpatient clinic. In addition, risk factors for the development of late neurological complications were identified. In contrast to previous studies on autopsied patients, our study design provoked a bias away from increased neurological sequelae, because patients with early complications after BMT were excluded. Fifty-nine allogeneic patients and 7 autologous BMT patients underwent clinical examination, short neuropsychological testing, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 34 ± 26 months after BMT. The pathological results of the neurological examination (abnormal 64%) and the MRI examination (white matter lesions, 54%; atrophy, 11%) were associated with the occurrence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) evolving from acute GvHD, with corticosteroid therapy and with cyclosporine medication. Neuropsychological impairment (cognitive deficits, 37%) was associated with long-term cyclosporine medication and age. No influence of pre-BMT disease, BMT donor status, or the conditioning regimen was found. These results suggest that the frequent neurological abnormalities in long-term survivors of allogeneic BMT are associated with chronic GvHD and with the resulting immunosuppression as major risk factors. 相似文献

Severe mental retardation is a rare complication of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Here we report that two DMD cases showing severe mental retardation exhibit the same exon skipping event induced by different intron mutations. In the two Japanese DMD patients studied, the complete sequence of exon 66 of the dystrophin gene was found to be absent from the dystrophin mRNA, creating a premature stop codon in exon 67. Novel point mutations at the consensus sequence of the splice donor site of intron 66 (T9857(+2) to C in one case and G9857(+5) to T in the other case) were found to be the cause of complete exon skipping. Remarkably, severe mental retardation cosegregated with an exon 66-skipping event in their families. Furthermore, pachygyria was disclosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the brain of one case. Our results suggested that exon 66 skipping should be examined in DMD cases with a severe form of mental retardation. 相似文献

Congenital myasthenic syndromes with endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency are very rare autosomal recessive diseases, characterized by onset of the disease in childhood, general weakness increased by exertion, ophthalmoplegia and refractoriness to anticholinesterase drugs. To date, all reported cases are due to mutations within the gene encoding ColQ, a specific collagen that anchors acetylcholinesterase in the basal lamina at the neuromuscular junction. We identified two new cases of congenital myasthenic syndromes with endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency. The two patients showed different phenotypes. The first patient had mild symptoms in childhood, which worsened at 46 years with severe respiratory insufficiency. The second patient had severe symptoms from birth but improved during adolescence. In both cases, the absence of acetylcholinesterase was demonstrated by morphological and biochemical analyses, and heteroallelic mutations in the COLQ gene were found. Both patients presented a novel splicing mutation (IVS1-1G-->A) affecting the exon encoding the proline-rich attachment domain (PRAD), which interacts with acetylcholinesterase. This splicing mutation was associated with two different mutations, both of which cause truncation of the collagen domain (a known 788insC mutation belonging to one patient and a novel R236X to the other) and may impair its trimeric organization. The close similarity of the mutations of these two patients with different phenotypes suggests that other factors may modify the severity of this disease. 相似文献

Sensory ataxia with neuropathy, dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis represent the clinical triad of SANDO, a specific mitochondrial phenotype first reported in 1997 in association with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions and mutations in POLG1 or more rarely in the C10orf2 (twinkle-helicase) gene. We report a 44-year-old man with SANDO who harboured two novel mutations (P648R/R807C) in the POLG1 gene. 相似文献

Two novel mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ASA) gene from a Japanese patient with the late-infantile form of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) were identified. One mutation was a G to C transversion at nucleotide 608 of the ASA gene (designated 6080 located at the 3′ end of exon 2, which resulted in an amino acid substitution of Gln 153 to His. Although the 608 mutation resulted in a change in the exon-intron boundary consensus sequence, analysis of cDNA from the patient did not reveal the presence of aberrant splicing. The second mutation, a G to T transversion at nucleotide 1572 in exon 5 (designated 1572T), resulted in an amino acid substitution of Gly 308 to Val. This could potentially result in a conformational change in ASA protein structure. The patient was heterozygous for these two new mutations which were not present in 18 Japanese MLD alleles examined. A transient expression study in COS-1 cells showed no residual activity in either mutation. These results indicate that the 608C and 1572T mutations are responsible for the occurrence of the late-infantile form of MLD. 相似文献

We report on a Spanish family with myophosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1) deficiency (McArdle's disease). The proband and his symptomatic sister were compound heterozygous for two novel mutations: a T-to-G transversion in exon 14 (c1722 T>G) that changes a tyrosine to a stop codon (Y573X), and a G-to-A transition in exon 15 (c1827 G>A) that disrupts the consensus signal at the donor splicing site. These findings further expand knowledge of the genetic bases of muscle glycogen phosphorylase deficiency. 相似文献

Mutations in the gene for the ganglioside-induced-differentiation-associated-protein 1 on 8q21 were recently reported to cause autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth sensorimotor neuropathy. We report a detailed clinical, electrophysiological and genetic study of two young patients harbouring missense GDAP1 mutations. The two patients presented severe neuropathy with an early onset. One of the mutations (Tyr279Cys) has never been hitherto reported. Electrophysiological investigations suggested a predominant axonal damage in both patients. Despite the similitude of the type of mutations and electromyographic features, the clinical course was different for the patients, highlighting the complexity of genotype/phenotype relationships among GDAP1 mutations. 相似文献
