RESUMO

Glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) is a neurometabolic disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the GLUT1 glucose transporter (encoded by SLC2A1) leading to defective glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier. This work describes the genetic analysis of 56 patients with clinical or biochemical GLUT1DS hallmarks. 55.4% of these patients had a pathogenic variant of SLC2A1, and 23.2% had a variant in one of 13 different genes. No pathogenic variant was identified for the remaining patients. Expression analysis of SLC2A1 indicated a reduction in SLC2A1 mRNA in patients with pathogenic variants of this gene, as well as in one patient with a pathogenic variant in SLC9A6, and in three for whom no candidate variant was identified. Thus, the clinical and biochemical hallmarks generally associated with GLUT1DS may be caused by defects in genes other than SLC2A1.

RESUMO

Biallelic variants of the gene DNAJC12, which encodes a cochaperone, were recently described in patients with hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA). This paper reports the retrospective genetic analysis of a cohort of unsolved cases of HPA. Biallelic variants of DNAJC12 were identified in 20 patients (generally neurologically asymptomatic) previously diagnosed with phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency (phenylketonuria [PKU]). Further, mutations of DNAJC12 were identified in four carriers of a pathogenic variant of PAH. The genetic spectrum of DNAJC12 in the present patients included four new variants, two intronic changes c.298-2A>C and c.502+1G>C, presumably affecting the splicing process, and two exonic changes c.309G>T (p.Trp103Cys) and c.524G>A (p.Trp175Ter), classified as variants of unknown clinical significance (VUS). The variant p.Trp175Ter was detected in 83% of the mutant alleles, with 14 cases homozygous, and was present in 0.3% of a Spanish control population. Functional analysis indicated a significant reduction in PAH and its activity, reduced tyrosine hydroxylase stability, but no effect on tryptophan hydroxylase 2 stability, classifying the two VUS as pathogenic variants. Additionally, the effect of the overexpression of DNAJC12 on some destabilizing PAH mutations was examined and a mutation-specific effect on stabilization was detected suggesting that the proteostasis network could be a genetic modifier of PAH deficiency and a potential target for developing mutation-specific treatments for PKU.
