Reassessing the pathogenicity of c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 Gene: report of 19 Chinese families.

ABSTRACT: X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is an inherited renal disease caused by mutations in COL4A5 gene. The c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 gene (rs78972735) has been considered pathogenic previously. However, there are conflicting interpretations of its pathogenicity recently. Here we presented 19 Chinese families, out of which 36 individuals (18 probands and 18 family members) carried the c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 gene. The clinical manifestations and genetic findings of them were analyzed. We found there were no clinical features of Alport syndrome not only in six probands with c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 plus pathogenic variants in other genes (e.g., WT1, ADCK4, NPHP1, TRPC6, COL4A4, and PAX2) but also in another six probands with only the c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) variant. The other six probands with a combination of c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) and another pathogenic variant in COL4A5 had XLAS. Eleven family members (11/18, nine females and two males) who had only the c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) variant were asymptomatic. These two males (at age of 42 and 35 years) had normal result of urine analysis and no more clinical traits of Alport syndrome. We conclude c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 gene is not a pathogenic variant for XLAS. Individuals should not be diagnosed as XLAS only based on the detection of c.2858G>T(p.(G953V)) in COL4A5 gene.

Project description:Purpose: The study aims to identify genetic variants in five Chinese families with Keratoconus (KC) and describe the characteristics of parental corneal topography. Methods: Fifteen participants, including five probands and ten parents from five Chinese families with KC, were recruited for genetic and clinical analyses. Targeted next-generation sequencing using a custom-designed panel for KC was applied on the probands for variant identification. Sanger sequencing and cosegregation analysis of the suspected pathogenic variants were performed on the family members. The pathogenicities of variants were evaluated according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines (ACMG). Pentacam 3D anterior segment analysis system was applied for keratectasia detection and the Corvis ST for corneal biomechanics measurement. Fifteen parameters were recorded, including nine keratectasia indicators (BAD-D, TP, Kmax, Df, Db, Dp, Dt, Da, ARTH), six corneal biomechanical indicators (CBI, DA ratio, SP-A1, IR, bIOP, TBI). Results: A total of six novel variants, including five missense variants and one frameshift variant, were detected in the HMX1, SLC4A11, TGFBI, PIKFYVE, and ZEB1 genes in five probands, all of which showed co-segregation of genotype and clinical phenotype and were determined to be pathogenic. The genetic model was autosomal dominant (AD) in four families and autosomal recessive (AR) in 1 family. The analysis of keratectasia and corneal biomechanical indicators of the proband's parents (first-generation relatives) in AD families revealed that there were several abnormal indexes in BAD-D, TP, Kmax, Df, Db, Dp, Dt, Da, CBI, DA ratio, SP-A1, IR, bIOP and TBI test indexes, showing clinical characteristics of incipient KC. Conclusion: Our study shows that variants in HMX1, SLC4A11, TGFBI, PIKFYVE, and ZEB1 were associated with KC. Our study extends the gene spectrum associated with KC, provides novel insights into KC phenotypic assessments, and contributes to early diagnosis for these patients.
