The p.Pro482Ala Variant in the CNNM2 Gene Causes Severe Hypomagnesemia Amenable to Treatment with Spironolactone

Renal hypomagnesemia syndromes involving <i>CNNM2</i> protein pathogenic variants are associated with variable degrees of neurocognitive dysfunction and hypomagnesemia. Here, we report a family with a novel <i>CNNM2</i> p.Pro482Ala variant, presenting with overt hypomagnesemi...

description Renal hypomagnesemia syndromes involving <i>CNNM2</i> protein pathogenic variants are associated with variable degrees of neurocognitive dysfunction and hypomagnesemia. Here, we report a family with a novel <i>CNNM2</i> p.Pro482Ala variant, presenting with overt hypomagnesemia and mild neurological involvement (autosomal dominant renal hypomagnesemia 6, HOMG6, MIM# 613882). Using a bioinformatics approach, we showed that the p.Pro482Ala amino acid substitution causes a 3D conformational change in <i>CNNM2</i> structure in the cystathionin beta synthase (CBS) domain and the carboxy-terminal protein segment. A novel finding was that aldosterone inhibition with spironolactone helped to alleviate hypomagnesemia and symptoms in the proband.
