Expanding the phenotype and metabolic basis of ATP6AP2-congenital disorder of glycosylation in a Chinese patient with a novel variant c.185G>A (p.Gly62Glu) by Yuan Fang, Yi-Zhen Wang, Lian Chen, Xin-Bao Xie

“…To date, only two missense mutations have been reported in three patients from two unrelated families.Methods: In order to extend the profiles of phenotype and genotype associated with ATP6AP2-CDG, we assessed the clinical history, whole exome sequencing (WES), and liver histology as well as immunohistochemistry in a Chinese patient, and performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting and untargeted metabolomics in genetic exogenously constructed cells.Results: The 11-month-old Chinese boy presented with recurrent jaundice, cutis laxa, cirrhosis, growth retardation, coagulopathy, anemia, and cardiomegaly, and underwent liver transplantation. …”

The East Asian-specific LPL p.Ala288Thr (c.862G > A) missense variant exerts a mild effect on protein function by Yuepeng Hu, Guofu Zhang, Qi Yang, Na Pu, Kaiwei Li, Baiqiang Li, David N. Cooper, Zhihui Tong, Weiqin Li, Jian-Min Chen

“…All five patients were adult males, and all were overweight and had a long history of alcohol consumption. Transfection of LPL wild-type and c.862G > A expression vectors into two cell lines followed by Western blot analysis served to exclude the possibility that the p.Ala288Thr missense variant either impaired protein synthesis or increased protein degradation. …”
