A synonymous mutation in PI4KA impacts the transcription and translation process of gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase alpha (PI4KIIIα), encoded by the PI4KA gene, can synthesize phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI-4-P), which serves as a specific membrane marker and is instrumental in signal transduction. PI4KA mutations can cause autosomal recessive diseases involving neurological, intestinal, and immunological conditions (OMIM:619621, 616531, 619708). We detected sepsis, severe diarrhea, and decreased immunoglobulin levels in one neonate. Two novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.5846T>C (p.Leu1949Pro) and c.3453C>T (p.Gly1151=), were identified in the neonate from the father and the mother, respectively. Sanger sequencing and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for peripheral blood and minigene splicing assays showed a deletion of fiv
