RESUMEN

The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex is involved in intracellular vesicular transport, and is composed of eight subunits distributed in two lobes, lobe A (COG1-4) and lobe B (COG5-8). We describe fourteen individuals with Saul-Wilson syndrome, a rare form of primordial dwarfism with characteristic facial and radiographic features. All affected subjects harbored heterozygous de novo variants in COG4, giving rise to the same recurrent amino acid substitution (p.Gly516Arg). Affected individuals' fibroblasts, whose COG4 mRNA and protein were not decreased, exhibited delayed anterograde vesicular trafficking from the ER to the Golgi and accelerated retrograde vesicular recycling from the Golgi to the ER. This altered steady-state equilibrium led to a decrease in Golgi volume, as well as morphologic abnormalities with collapse of the Golgi stacks. Despite these abnormalities of the Golgi apparatus, protein glycosylation in sera and fibroblasts from affected subjects was not notably altered, but decorin, a proteoglycan secreted into the extracellular matrix, showed altered Golgi-dependent glycosylation. In summary, we define a specific heterozygous COG4 substitution as the molecular basis of Saul-Wilson syndrome, a rare skeletal dysplasia distinct from biallelic COG4-CDG.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Four patients with Saul-Wilson syndrome were reported between 1982 and 1994, but no additional individuals were described until 2018, when the molecular etiology of the disease was elucidated. Hence, the clinical phenotype of the disease remains poorly defined. We address this shortcoming by providing a detailed characterization of its phenotype. METHODS: Retrospective chart reviews were performed and primary radiographs assessed for all 14 individuals. Four individuals underwent detailed ophthalmologic examination by the same physician. Two individuals underwent gynecologic evaluation. Z-scores for height, weight, head circumference and body mass index were calculated at different ages. RESULTS: All patients exhibited short stature, with sharp decline from the mean within the first months of life, and a final height Z-score between -4 and -8.5 standard deviations. The facial and radiographic features evolved over time. Intermittent neutropenia was frequently observed. Novel findings included elevation of liver transaminases, skeletal fragility, rod-cone dystrophy, and cystic macular changes. CONCLUSIONS: Saul-Wilson syndrome presents a remarkably uniform phenotype, and the comprehensive description of our cohort allows for improved understanding of the long-term morbidity of the condition, establishment of follow-up recommendations for affected individuals, and documentation of the natural history into adulthood for comparison with treated patients, when therapeutics become available.
