SLC4A4 compound heterozygous mutations in exon-intron boundary regions presenting with severe proximal renal tubular acidosis and extrarenal symptoms coexisting with Turner's syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Congenital NBCe1A deficiency with the SLC4A4 mutation causes severe proximal renal tubular acidosis, which often comprises extrarenal symptoms, such as intellectual disability and developmental delay, glaucoma, cataract and band keratopathy. To date, almost all mutations have been found to be homozygous mutations located in exons.

Case presentation

We performed direct nucleotide sequencing analysis of exons and exon-intron boundary regions of the SLC4A4 in a patient presenting with severe renal proximal tubule acidosis, glaucoma and intellectual disability and her parents without these signs. The examination revealed compound heterozygous mutations in exon-intron boundary regions, c.1076 + 3A > C and c.1772 - 2A > T, neither of which have been reported previously.
