Allele frequency of variants reported to cause adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency. Eur J Hum Genet 2021; 29:1061-1070. [PMID: 33707627 PMCID: PMC8298615 DOI: 10.1038/s41431-020-00805-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of purine metabolism that causes nephrolithiasis and progressive chronic kidney disease. The small number of reported cases indicates an extremely low prevalence, although it has been suggested that missed diagnoses may play a role. We assessed the prevalence of APRT deficiency based on the frequency of causally-related APRT sequence variants in a diverse set of large genomic databases. A thorough search was carried out for all APRT variants that have been confirmed as pathogenic under recessive mode of inheritance, and the frequency of the identified variants examined in six population genomic databases: the deCODE genetics database, the UK Biobank, the 100,000 Genomes Project, the Genome Aggregation Database, the Human Genetic Variation Database and the Korean Variant Archive. The estimated frequency of homozygous genotypes was calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg equation. Sixty-two pathogenic APRT variants were identified, including six novel variants. Most common were the missense variants c.407T>C (p.(Met136Thr)) in Japan and c.194A>T (p.(Asp65Val)) in Iceland, as well as the splice-site variant c.400 + 2dup (p.(Ala108Glufs*3)) in the European population. Twenty-nine variants were detected in at least one of the six genomic databases. The highest cumulative minor allele frequency (cMAF) of pathogenic variants outside of Japan and Iceland was observed in the Irish population (0.2%), though no APRT deficiency cases have been reported in Ireland. The large number of cases in Japan and Iceland is consistent with a founder effect in these populations. There is no evidence for widespread underdiagnosis based on the current analysis.

Abstract
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency is an autosomal recessive purine enzyme defect that results in the inability to utilize adenine, which consequently is oxidized by xanthine dehydrogenase to 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA), an extremely insoluble substance eventually leading to crystalluria, nephrolithiasis, and kidney injury. We describe a case of APRT deficiency not diagnosed until the evaluation of a poorly functioning kidney transplant in a 67-year-old white woman. After the transplant, there was delayed transplant function, urine specimens showed crystals with unusual appearance, and the transplant biopsy specimen showed intratubular obstruction by crystals identified as 2,8-DHA using infrared spectroscopy. APRT enzymatic activity was undetectable in red blood cell lysates, and analysis of the APRT gene showed 1 heterozygous sequence variant, a duplication of T at position 1832. The patient was treated with allopurinol, 300 mg/d, and transplant function progressively normalized. Because patients with undiagnosed APRT deficiency who undergo kidney transplant may risk losing the transplant because of an otherwise treatable disease, increased physician awareness may hasten the diagnosis and limit the morbidity associated with this disease.

Abstract
Renal hypouricemia is an inherited disorder characterized by impaired tubular uric acid transport. Impairment of the function of URAT1, the main transporter for the reabsorption of uric acid at the apical membrane of the renal tubules, causes renal hypouricemia. The G774A mutation in the SLC22A12 gene encoding URAT1 predominates in Japanese renal hypouricemia. From data on linkage disequilibrium between the G774 locus and the 13 markers flanking it (12 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 1 dinucleotide insertion/deletion locus), we here estimate the age of this mutation at approximately 6820 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 1860-11,760 years; median = 2460 years]. This indicates that the origin of the G774A mutation dates back from between the time when the Jomon people predominated in Japan and the time when the Yayoi people started to migrate to Japan from the Korean peninsula. These data are consistent with a recent finding that this G774A mutation was also predominant in Koreans with hypouricemia and indicate that the mutation originated on the Asian continent. Thus, this mutation found in Japanese patients was originally brought by immigrant(s) from the continent and thereafter expanded in the Japanese population either by founder effects or by genetic drift (or both).

Abstract
Recently, linkage disequilibrium analyses have been used to detect disease-causing loci based on the common disease-common variant hypothesis. To see what methods can effectively identify the genes, we have to apply them to the practical data obtained from the human population. We extensively performed linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analyses on adenine phosphoribosyltransferase ( APRT) genes in both control and deficient subjects. To examine the power to detect disease-causing loci, we analyzed SNPs, STRPs, and VNTR within and around the APRT gene. When only SNPs were used, P values did not necessarily show significant difference, even at loci close to the mutation site for APRT*J that is exclusively observed among Japanese. However, the examination of the same samples with haplotypes based on the haplotype block data gave sufficient significance. In the case of STRP and VNTR, some single-marker loci showed significant difference. Our study suggested that the use of haplotype analysis based on the haplotype-block structure is more powerful than single-marker locus analysis for the detection of disease-related loci.

Abstract
Werner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by many age-related features. The gene responsible for WS (WRN) has been isolated and contains a helicase domain, but its function is unknown. Six different mutations throughout the WRN gene have been reported in the Japanese population. We have studied whether patients with a specific mutation exhibit distinct phenotypes from others. Fourteen patients with different mutations showed almost the same signs and symptoms and, therefore, the C terminal part of the product appears to be crucial for its functions, although other parts may be important as well. Haplotype analyses using 13 microsatellites covering the 2.8-3.0 cM WRN region showed that two out of six different mutations had founder chromosomes. These two founder chromosomes may be evenly distributed throughout the western part of Japan, suggesting that these mutations go back to a time earlier than 1400 years ago.
