RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2HGA) is a rare neurometabolic disorder that occurs due to accumulation of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma and urine. The clinical manifestation of L2HGA includes intellectual disability, cerebellar ataxia, epilepsy, speech problems and macrocephaly. METHODS: In the present study, we ascertained a multigenerational consanguineous Pakistani family with 5 affected individuals. Clinical studies were performed through biochemical tests and brain CT scan. Locus mapping was carried out through genome-wide SNP genotyping, whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. For in silico studies protein structural modeling and docking was done using I-TASSER, Cluspro and AutoDock VINA tools. RESULTS: Affected individuals presented with cognitive impairment, gait disturbance, speech difficulties and psychomotor delay. Radiologic analysis of a male patient revealed leukoaraiosis with hypoattenuation of cerebral white matter, suggestive of hypomyelination. Homozygosity mapping in this family revealed a linkage region on chromosome 14 between markers rs2039791 and rs781354. Subsequent whole exome analysis identified a novel frameshift mutation NM_024884.3:c.180delG, p.(Ala62Profs*24) in the second exon of L2HGDH. Sanger sequencing confirmed segregation of this mutation with the disease phenotype. The identification of the most N-terminal loss of function mutation published thus far further expands the mutational spectrum of L2HGDH.
