Novel heterozygous compound TRMT5 mutations associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 26 in a Chinese family: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 26 (COXPD26) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early onset, developmental delay, gastrointestinal dysfunction, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, hypotonia and muscle weakness, neuropathy, and spastic diplegia. This disease is considered to be caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the TRMT5 gene. In this study, we report a female child with COXPD26 manifesting as shortness of breath, gastrointestinal dysmotility, severe developmental delay, muscle hypotonia and weakness, exercise intolerance, renal and hepatic defects, and recurrent seizures with spastic diplegia. Interestingly, the hepatic feature was first observed in a COXPD26 patient. Medical exome sequencing with high coverage depth was employed to identify potential genetic variants in the patient. Novel compound heterozygous mutations of the TRMT5 gene were detected, which were c.881A>C (p.E294A) from her mother and c.1218G>C (p.Q406H) and c.1481C>T (p.T494M) from her father. The newly emerged clinical features and mutations of this patient provide useful information for further exploration of genotype-phenotype correlations in COXPD26.

Project description:BackgroundLeigh syndrome (LS) is a common mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (IARS2) encodes mitochondrial isoleucine-tRNA synthetase, and variants in IARS2 have been reported to cause LS. However, the pathogenic mechanism of IARS2 variants is still unclear.MethodsTwo unrelated patients, a 4-year-old boy and a 5-year-old boy diagnosed with LS, were recruited, and detailed clinical data were collected. The DNA of the patients and their parents was isolated from the peripheral blood for the identification of pathogenic variants using next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing. The ClustalW program, allele frequency analysis databases (gnomAD and ExAc), and pathogenicity prediction databases (Clinvar, Mutation Taster and PolyPhen2) were used to predict the conservation and pathogenicity of the variants. The gene expression level, oxygen consumption rate (OCR), respiratory chain complex activity, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured in patient-derived lymphocytes and IARS2-knockdown HEK293T cells to evaluate the pathogenicity of the variants.ResultsWe reported 2 unrelated Chinese patients manifested with LS who carried biallelic IARS2 variants (c.1_390del and c.2450G > A from a 4-year-old boy, and c.2090G > A and c.2122G > A from a 5-year-old boy), of which c.1_390del and c.2090G > A were novel. Functional studies revealed that the patient-derived lymphocytes carrying c.1_390del and c.2450G > A variants exhibited impaired mitochondrial function due to severe mitochondrial complexes I and III deficiencies, which was also found in IARS2-knockdown HEK293T cells. The compensatory experiments in vitro cell models confirmed the pathogenicity of IARS2 variants since re-expression of wild-type IARS2 rather than mutant IARS2 could rescue complexes I and III deficiency, oxygen consumption, and cellular ATP content in IARS2 knockdown cells.ConclusionOur results not only expand the gene mutation spectrum of LS, but also reveal for the first time the pathogenic mechanism of IARS2 variants due to a combined deficiency of mitochondrial complexes I and III, which is helpful for the clinical diagnosis of IARS2 mutation-related diseases.
