IVS17DS,T>G,+6; In a family with 2 affected sibs and in 2 patients with mucolipidosis IIIA (252900), Kudo et al. (Am J Hum Genet 78:451-463, 2006) described a donor splice site mutation in intron 17 of the GNPTAB gene, IVS17+6T-G, that results in skipping of exon 17 and frameshift with a premature termination at residue 1085 (P1084fsX1172). This same result was observed in another intron 17 splice site mutation in a patient with ML II (607840.0012). The former intron 17 splice site mutation was designated type I and the latter type II. Although the mRNA sequences derived from these 2 mutations are the same, the GlcNAc-phosphotransferase activities and clinical outcomes are different; fibroblasts with the type I mutation exhibited less than 0.1% activity, whereas those carrying the type II mutation exhibited 1 to 3% GlcNAc-phosphotransferase activity. That the type II mutation was located outside the invariant splice site was suggested as a possible cause of the greater activity. |
Remarks |
Similarly affected sib; deficient fibroblast B-hexosaminidase, B-galactosidase, A-fucosidase, A-galactosidase, A-mannosidase, and N-acetylglucosaminylphosphotransferase activity; complementation group A; GlcNAc-Phosphotransferase activity = 3% (measured as specific activity in cell lysate and reported as percentage of activity in normal fibroblasts); donor subject is a compound heterozygote: one allele has a C>T transition at nucleotide 996 in exon 8 of the GNPTAB gene [996C>T] resulting in a substitution of a stop codon for glutamine at codon 278 [Gln278Ter (Q278X)] and a second allele has a donor splice site mutation in intron 17 of the GNPTAB gene [IVS17+6T>G] resulting in the skipping of exon 17 and a frameshift with a premature termination at residue 1085 [P1084fsX1085]. |
