目的探讨1例痉挛性截瘫和精神运动发育迟缓伴或不伴痫性发作(SPPRS)患儿的遗传学病因。
方法选取2022年4月因运动发育落后、智力障碍、肌张力增高于南京医科大学附属儿童医院就诊的1例SPPRS患儿为研究对象。回顾患儿相关的临床资料,对患儿及其父母进行全外显子组测序(WES)。检索单核苷酸多态性数据库(dbSNP)、在线人类孟德尔遗传数据库(OMIM)等对患儿的候选致病性变异进行生物信息学分析。根据美国医学遗传学与基因组学学会(ACMG)相关指南对候选变异进行致病性评级。分别以" HACE1基因""痉挛性截瘫和精神运动发育迟缓伴或不伴痫性发作"" HACE1 gene""Spastic paraplegia and psychomotor retardation with or without seizures"和"SPPRS"为关键词,对中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普网和PubMed数据库进行检索,时间设定为2000年1月1日至2024年4月7日。通过文献复习,绘制SPPRS患者HACE1蛋白的变异谱。本研究通过了南京医科大学附属儿童医院医学伦理委员会的审查(批准号:202404008-1)。
结果本研究患儿主要表现为运动发育落后、智力障碍、肌张力增高。MRI显示大脑胼胝体体后部及压部偏小,双侧侧脑室稍增宽。WES检测提示患儿携带 HACE1基因c.535(exon7)_c.538(exon7)delACAG(p.T179fs*5)和c.1678+2(IVS15)T>C复合杂合变异,分别遗传自其父母。根据ACMG相关指南,上述变异分别被评定为可能致病性(PVS1+PM2_Supporting)和致病性(PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PM3)。共检索到8篇 HACE1基因变异所致SPPRS的报道,连同本研究共涉及24例患者,均存在精神运动发育迟缓,共携带18种 HACE1基因的变异。
结论 HACE1基因c.535(exon7)_c.538(exon7)delACAG(p.T179fs*5)和c.1678+2(IVS15)T>C复合杂合变异可能是本研究患儿的遗传学病因。上述发现丰富了 HACE1基因的变异谱和表型谱,为患儿的临床诊断与遗传咨询提供了依据。
ObjectiveTo explore the genetic etiology of a child with Spastic paraplegia and psychomotor retardation with or without seizures (SPPRS).
MethodsA child who was admitted to the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University in April 2022 for motor developmental delay, intellectual disability, and hypertonia was selected as the study subject. Relevant clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the child and his parents. Candidate variants were searched in the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database (dbSNP) and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. Pathogenicity of the variants was assessed based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Using key words such as " HACE1 gene" " Spastic paraplegia and psychomotor retardation with or without seizures" and " SPPRS", previous reports on SPPRS patients due to HACE1 gene variants were retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CQVIP, and PubMed databases, with the time set from January 1, 2000 to April 7, 2024. A mutation map for the HACE1 protein in the patients was created. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University (Ethics No. 202404008-1).
ResultsThe clinical manifestations of the child had included motor developmental delay, intellectual disability and hypertonia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypoplasia of posterior corpus callosum and splenium, with slight enlargement of lateral ventricles. WES revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the HACE1 gene, namely c. 535(exon7)_c.538(exon7)delACAG (p.T179fs*5) and c. 1678+ 2(IVS15)T>C, which were respectively inherited from his parents. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variants were respectively rated as likely pathogenic (PVS1 + PM2_Supporting) and pathogenic (PVS1 + PM2_Supporting + PM3). Literature search has identified 8 papers, which reported 23 SPPRS cases due to HACE1 gene variants. All patients exhibited psychomotor developmental delay, among whom 18 HACE1 gene variants were identified.
ConclusionThe c. 535(exon7)_c.538(exon7)delACAG (p.T179fs*5) and c. 1678+ 2(IVS15)T>C compound heterozygous variants of the HACE1 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of SPPRS in this child. Above discovery has enriched the mutational and phenotypic spectrum of the HACE1 gene and provided a reference for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.
