RESUMO

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency; OMIM #300908) is the most common inborn error disorders worldwide. While the G6PD is the key enzyme of removing oxidative stress in erythrocytes, the early diagnosis is utmost vital to prevent chronic and drug-, food- or infection-induced hemolytic anemia. The characterization of the mutations is also important for the subsequent genetic counseling, especially for female carrier with ambiguous enzyme activities and males with mild mutations. While multiplex SNaPshot assay and Sanger sequencing were performed on 500 G6PD deficient males, five newly discovered variations, namely c.187G > A (p.E63K), c.585G > C (p.Q195H), c.586A > T (p.I196F), c.743G > A (p.G248D), and c.1330G > A (p.V444I) were detected in the other six patients. These variants were previously named as the Pingtung, Tainan, Changhua, Chiayi, and Tainan-2 variants, respectively. The in silico analysis, as well as the prediction of the structure of the resultant mutant G6PD protein indicated that these five newly discovered variants might be disease causing mutations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency might develop acute hemolytic anemia, chronic hemolytic anemia, and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia when exposed to high levels of oxidative stress. Severe hemolysis may occur in not only patients but also female carriers under certain conditions. However, 80%-85% of female carriers were undetected in an existing newborn screening program because of their wide-ranging levels of enzyme activity. METHODS: We developed a cost- and time-efficient multiplex SNaPshot assay using dried blood spots. RESULTS: By detecting 21 common mutations in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, the assay could determine 98.2% of the mutant alleles in our cohort of Taiwanese newborns. The 9 undetermined mutant alleles were consequently detected by Sanger sequencing, of which 5 unpublished variations-c.187G > A (Pingtung), c.585G > C (Tainan), c.586A > T (Changhua), c.743G > A (Chiayi), and c.1330G > A (Tainan-2)-were detected. Furthermore, 13% of mild mutations were missed in male infants whose enzyme levels at 6.1-7.0 U/gHb in the newborn screening program when set the cutoff value at 6.0 U/gHb. We therefore suggest increasing the cutoff value and applying the multiplex SNaPshot assay as the second tier for neonatal screening. CONCLUSIONS: Our approach could significantly increase the detection rate of male patients and female carriers with a reasonable cost and a reasonable number of clinic referrals.
