A Case of Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 35 Associated with a Novel Missense Variant of the TRIT1 Gene.

ABSTRACT: Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 35 (COXPD35) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the tRNA isopentenyltransferase (TRIT1) gene in chromosome 1p34.2. To date, only 10 types of allelic variants in the TRIT1 gene have been previously reported in 9 patients with COXPD35. Herein, we describe a case with a novel homozygous missense variant in TRIT1. A 6-year, 6-month-old boy presented with global developmental delay, microcephaly, intractable seizures, and failure to thrive. The other main clinical manifestations were intellectual disability, spastic tetraparesis, truncal hypotonia, malnutrition, polyuria and polydipsia, ketotic hypoglycemia, dysmorphic facial features, strabismus, bicuspid aortic valve, and nephrolithiasis. The detailed biochemical, radiological, and metabolic evaluations were unremarkable. Chromosomal analysis confirmed a normal male 46,XY karyotype and the array comparative genomic hybridization analysis revealed no abnormalities. We identified a novel homozygous missense variant of c.246G>C (p.Met82Ile) in the TRIT1 gene, and the variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The present case is the first report describing strabismus, ketotic hypoglycemia, nephrolithiasis, and bicuspid aortic valve in TRIT1-related COXPD35. This study expands the genotype-phenotype spectrum of TRIT1-related COXPD35.

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.
