Rare Transient Infantile Hypertriglyceridemia with Hypoglycemia and Insulin Resistance Caused by a Novel GPD1 Mutation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia (HTGTI) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. At present, only 20 cases of HTGTI have been reported worldwide. Hence, it is necessary to further assess the phenotypic and genetic variation spectra of HTGTI.

Case presentation

A 10-month-old male infant was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia, hepatomegaly, liver injury, fasting hypoglycemia, and insulin resistance. Trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) was performed on the patient and his parents. Bioinformatics software was used to analyze the suspected genes and potential pathogenicity of the resulting mutant proteins. The results of trio-WES demonstrated that the patient was homozygous for a novel mutation in the GPD1 gene (NM_005276.3; c.805C>T/p.Arg269Trp), w
