Expanding the phenotype of ATP6AP1 deficiency.

ABSTRACT: Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are large multisubunit proton pumps conserved among all eukaryotic cells that are involved in diverse functions including acidification of membrane-bound intracellular compartments. The ATP6AP1 gene encodes an accessory subunit of the vacuolar (V)-ATPase protein pump. Pathogenic variants in ATP6AP1 have been described in association with a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), which are highly variable, but often characterized by immunodeficiency, hepatopathy, and neurologic manifestations. Although the most striking and common clinical feature is hepatopathy, the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of ATP6AP1-CDG continues to expand. Here, we report identical twins who presented with acute liver failure and jaundice. Prenatal features
