ABSTRACT
Segmental progeroid syndromes with lipodystrophy are extremely rare, heterogeneous, and complex multi-system disorders that are characterized by phenotypic features of premature aging affecting various tissues and organs. In this study, we present a "sporadic/isolated" Japanese woman who was ultimately diagnosed with mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, and progressive lipodystrophy (MDPL) syndrome (MIM #615381) using whole exome sequencing analysis. She had been suspected as having atypical Werner syndrome and/or progeroid syndrome based on observations spanning a 30-year period; however, repeated genetic testing by Sanger sequencing did not identify any causative mutation related to various subtypes of congenital partial lipodystrophy (CPLD) and/or mandibular dysplasia with lipodystrophy (MAD). Recently, MDPL syndrome has been described as a new entity showing progressive lipodystrophy. Furthermore, polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) gene mutations on chromosome 19 have been identified in patients with MDPL syndrome. To date, 21 cases with POLD1-related MDPL syndrome have been reported worldwide, albeit almost entirely of European origin. Here, we identified a de novo mutation in exon 15 (p.Ser605del) of the POLD1 gene in a Japanese case by whole exome sequencing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first identified case of MDPL syndrome in Japan. Our results provide further evidence that mutations in POLD1 are responsible for MDPL syndrome and serve as a common genetic determinant across different ethnicities.
