RESUMEN
CONTEXT: Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by short stature, hypoparathyroidism, and electrolyte disturbances. KCS1 and KCS2 are caused by pathogenic variants in TBCE and FAM111A, respectively. Clinically the phenotypes are difficult to distinguish. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine and expand the phenotypic spectrum of KCS1 and KCS2 in order to anticipate complications that may arise in these disorders. METHODS: We clinically and genetically analyzed 10 KCS2 patients from 7 families. Because we found unusual phenotypes in our cohort, we performed a systematic review of genetically confirmed KCS cases using PubMed and Scopus. Evaluation by 3 researchers led to the inclusion of 26 papers for KCS1 and 16 for KCS2, totaling 205 patients. Data were extracted following the Cochrane guidelines and assessed by 2 independent researchers. RESULTS: Several patients in our KCS2 cohort presented with intellectual disability (3/10) and chronic kidney disease (6/10), which are not considered common findings in KCS2. Systematic review of all reported KCS cases showed that the phenotypes of KCS1 and KCS2 overlap for postnatal growth retardation (KCS1: 52/52, KCS2: 23/23), low parathyroid hormone levels (121/121, 16/20), electrolyte disturbances (139/139, 24/27), dental abnormalities (47/50, 15/16), ocular abnormalities (57/60, 22/23), and seizures/spasms (103/115, 13/16). Symptoms more prevalent in KCS1 included intellectual disability (74/80, 5/24), whereas in KCS2 bone cortical thickening (1/18, 16/20) and medullary stenosis (7/46, 27/28) were more common. CONCLUSION: Our case series established chronic kidney disease as a new feature of KCS2. In the literature, we found substantial overlap in the phenotypic spectra of KCS1 and KCS2, but identified intellectual disability and the abnormal bone phenotype as the most distinguishing features.

Transcellular Mg2+ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the kidneys plays an important role in maintaining systemic Mg2+ homeostasis. SLC41A1 is a Na+/Mg2+ exchanger that mediates Mg2+ efflux from cells and is hypothesized to facilitate basolateral extrusion of Mg2+ in the DCT. In this study, we generated a SLC41A1 knockout mouse model to examine the role of SLC41A1 in Mg2+ homeostasis. Slc41a1-/- mice exhibited similar serum and urine Mg2+ levels as their wild-type littermates. Dietary restriction of Mg2+ resulted in reduced serum Mg2+ concentration and urinary Mg2+ excretion, which was similar in the wild-type and knockout groups. Expression of genes encoding Mg2+ channels and transporters such as transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (Trpm6), transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (Trpm7), cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 2 (Cnnm2), and Slc41a3 were unchanged based on genotype. We investigated the potential redundancy of SLC41A1 and its homolog SLC41A3 by generating a double knockout mouse. Although Slc41a3-/- knockout mice showed significantly reduced serum Mg2+ compared with wild-type and Slc41a1-/- knockout groups, double knockout mice displayed similar serum Mg2+ levels as Slc41a3-/- knockout mice. In conclusion, our data show that SLC41A1 is not involved in the regulation of systemic Mg2+ homeostasis in mice. Our data also demonstrate that SLC41A1 does not compensate for the loss of SLC41A3, suggesting different functions of these SLC41 proteins in vivo.NEW & NOTEWORTHY SLC41A1 has been hypothesized to mediate Mg2+ extrusion in the distal convoluted tubule and thus regulate Mg2+ homeostasis. This study investigated the role of SLC41A1 in Mg2+ homeostasis in vivo using a transgenic mouse model. Our results demonstrate that SLC41A1 is not required to maintain normal Mg2+ balance in mice. We also show that SLC41A3 is more important than SLC41A1 in regulating systemic Mg2+ levels.

Autosomal dominant mutations in FAM111A are causative for Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 2. Patients with Kenny-Caffey syndrome suffer from severe growth retardation, skeletal dysplasia, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia and hypomagnesaemia. While recent studies have reported FAM111A to function in antiviral response and DNA replication, its role in regulating electrolyte homeostasis remains unknown. In this study, we assessed the role of FAM111A in the regulation of serum electrolyte balance using a Fam111a knockout (Fam111a-/-) C57BL/6 N mouse model. Fam111a-/- mice displayed normal weight and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration and exhibited unaltered magnesium, calcium and phosphate levels in serum and 24-hour urine. Expression of calciotropic (including Cabp28k, Trpv5, Klotho and Cyp24a1), magnesiotropic (including Trpm6, Trpm7, Cnnm2 and Cnnm4) and phosphotropic (Slc20a1, Slc20a2, Slc34a1 and Slc34a3) genes in the kidneys, duodenum and colon were not affected by Fam111a depletion. Only Slc34a2 expression was significantly upregulated in the duodenum, but not in the colon. Analysis of femurs showed unaffected bone morphology and density in Fam111a-/- mice. Kidney and parathyroid histology were also normal in Fam111a-/- mice. In conclusion, our study is the first to characterise the function of FAM111A in vivo and we report that mice lacking FAM111A exhibit normal electrolyte homeostasis on a standard diet.
