Abstract
Biallelic loss of function mutations in the CLDN16 gene cause familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC), and chronic kidney disease. Here we report two cases of FHHNC with diverse clinical presentations and hypercalcemia in one as a novel finding. Pt#1 initially presented with urinary tract infection and failure to thrive at 5.5 months of age to another center. Bilateral nephrocalcinosis, hypercalcemia (Ca: 12.2 mg/dl), elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) level, and hypercalciuria were detected. Persistently elevated PTH with high/normal Ca levels led to subtotal-parathyroidectomy at the age of 2.5. However, PTH levels remained elevated with progressive deterioration in renal function. At 9-year-old, she was referred to us for evaluation of hyperparathyroidism and, hypomagnesemia together with hypercalciuria, elevated PTH with normal Ca levels, and medullary nephrocalcinosis were detected. Compound heterozygosity of CLDN16 variants (c.715G>A, p.G239R; and novel c.360C>A, p.C120*) confirmed the diagnosis. Pt#2 was a 10-month-old boy, admitted with irritability and urinary crystals. Hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, elevated PTH and ALP, low 25(OH)D levels, and radiographic findings of rickets were detected. However, additional findings of hypercalciuria and bilateral nephrocalcinosis were inconsistent with the nutritional rickets. Low/normal serum Mg levels suggested the diagnosis of FHHNC which was confirmed genetically as a homozygous missense (c.602G > A; p.G201E) variant in CLDN16. Yet, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia persisted in spite of treatment. In conclusion, FHHNC may present with diverse clinical features with mild hypomagnesemia leading to secondary hyperparathyroidism with changing Ca levels from low to high. Early and accurate clinical and molecular genetic diagnosis is important for proper management.

Abstract
Claudins are integral proteins expressed at the tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells. In the mammalian kidney, every tubular segment express a specific set of claudins that give to that segment unique properties regarding permeability and selectivity of the paracellular pathway. So far, 3 claudins (10b, 16 and 19) have been causally traced to rare human syndromes: variants of CLDN10b cause HELIX syndrome and variants of CLDN16 or CLDN19 cause familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. The review summarizes our current knowledge on the physiology of mammalian tight junctions and paracellular ion transport, as well as on the role of the 3 above-mentioned claudins in health and disease. Claudin 14, although not having been causally linked to any rare renal disease, is also considered, because available evidence suggests that it may interact with claudin 16. Some single-nucleotide polymorphisms of CLDN14 are associated with urinary calcium excretion and/or kidney stones. For each claudin considered, the pattern of expression, the function and the human syndrome caused by pathogenic variants are described.

Familial intellectual disability as a result of a derivative chromosome 22 originating from a balanced translocation (3;22) in a four generation family. Mol Cytogenet 2018; 11:18. [PMID: 29467824 PMCID: PMC5819188 DOI: 10.1186/s13039-017-0349-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2017] [Accepted: 12/14/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Balanced reciprocal translocation is usually an exchange of two terminal segments from different chromosomes without phenotypic effect on the carrier while leading to increased risk of generating unbalanced gametes. Here we describe a four-generation family in Shandong province of China with at least three patients sharing severe intellectual disability and developmental delay resulting from a derivative chromosome 22 originating from a balanced translocation (3;22) involving chromosomes 3q28q29 and 22q13.3. Methods The proband and his relatives were detected by using karyotyping, chromosome microarray analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridization and real-time qPCR. Results The proband, a 17 month-old boy, presented with severe intellectual disability, developmental delay, specific facial features and special posture of hands. Pedigree analysis showed that there were at least three affected patients. The proband and other two living patients manifested similar phenotypes and were identified to have identically abnormal cytogenetic result with an unbalanced translocation of 9.0 Mb duplication at 3q28q29 and a 1.7Mb microdeletion at 22q13.3 by karyotyping and chromosome microarray analysis. His father and other five relatives had a balanced translocation of 3q and 22q. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and real-time qPCR definitely validated the results. Conclusions The abnormal phenotypes of the proband and his two living members in four generations of the family confirmed the 3q duplication and 22q13.3 deletion inherited from familial balanced translocation. This is the first report of familial balanced reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 3q28q29 and 22q13.3 segregating through four generations.

Abstract
Background Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is a rare autosomal recessive renal disease characterized by tubular disorders at the thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop. It is caused by mutations in the tight junction structural proteins claudin-16 or claudin-19, which are encoded by the CLDN16 and CLDN19 genes, respectively. Patients exhibit excessive wasting of calcium and magnesium, nephrocalcinosis, chronic kidney disease, and early progression to end-stage renal failure during infancy. Case presentation We here report the phenotype and molecular analysis of a female Brazilian patient with a novel large homozygous deletion in the CLDN16 gene. The proband, born from consanguineous parents, presented the first symptoms at age 20. Clinical examination revealed hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, nephrocalcinosis, mild myopia, high serum levels of uric acid and intact parathyroid hormone, and moderate chronic kidney disease (stage 3). She and her mother were subjected to CLDN16 and CLDN19 mutational analysis. In addition, the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method was used to confirm a CLDN16 multi-exon deletion. Direct sequencing revealed a normal CLDN19 sequence and suggested a large deletion in the CLDN16 gene. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification showed a homozygous CLDN16 multi-exon deletion (E2_E5del). The patient initiated conventional treatment for familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis and progressed to end-stage kidney disease after five years. Conclusions This study provides the first report of a large homozygous deletion in the CLDN16 gene causing familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis with late onset of the first symptoms. This description expands the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the disease. The late-onset chronic kidney disease in the presence of a homozygous deletion in the CLDN16 gene reinforces the great variability of genotype-phenotype manifestation in patients with familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by excessive renal magnesium and calcium wasting, bilateral nehrocalcinosis and progressive renal failure. This is the first report of FHHNC of four patients in Serbia. OUTLINE OF CASES The first three patients were siblings from the same family. The index case, a 9-year-old girl, presented with severe growth retardation, polyuria and polydipsia, while her brothers, 11 and 7 years old, were disclosed during family member screening. The father had a urolithiasis when aged 18 years, while intermittent microhaematuria and bilateral microlithiasis persisted later on. The fourth patient, a 16-year-old boy with sporadic FHHNC was discovered to have increased proteinuria at routine examination of urine before registration for secondary school. He was well grown up, normotensive, but had moderate renal failure (CKD 3 stage), mild hypomagnesaemia and severe hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Beside typical clinical and biochemical data, the diagnosis of FHHNC was confirmed by mutation analysis of the CLDN16 gene; in all four affected individuals a homozygous CLDN16 mutation (Leu151Phe) was found. Treatment with magnesium supplementation resulted in the normalization of serum magnesium levels only in one patient (patient 4), but hypercalciuria persisted and renal failure progressed in all patients. CONCLUSION FHHNC is a rare cause of chronic renal failure. The first four patients with FHHNC in Serbia have been here described. The diagnosis of FHNNC based on the findings of nephrocalcinosis with hypomagnesiaemia and hypercalciuria, was confirmed by homozygous paracellin1-mutation exhibiting a Leu151Phe.

Abstract
During the past decade, claudins have been established as major determinants of paracellular permeablilty in epithelia. In the kidney, each nephron segment expresses a distinct pattern of claudins. Cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL), which is characterized by high paracellular cation permeability, co-express an unusually large number of different claudins: claudin-10, -16, and -19 and, depending on the species, also claudin-3, -4, -8, and/or -11. The function of most of these claudins has been investigated in vitro. We present a summary of their function with special emphasis on claudin-16 and -19. Mutations in the corresponding human genes lead to severely impaired renal Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) handling. To date, 42 different claudin-16 mutations and three claudin-19 mutations have been reported. These mutations prevent the claudins from reaching the surface membrane, decrease membrane residence time, or render them functionless. In spite of the clear clinical symptoms such as hypomagnesemia, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and renal insufficiency, mechanisms that link claudin-16 and -19 to these symptoms are still unknown. Depending on the cell type used in overexpression studies, claudin-16 appears to cause a mild increase in paracellular Mg(2+)-permeability or a pronounced increase in Na(+) permeability. Claudin-19 selectively decreases Cl(-) permeability, thus synergistically increasing relative cation permeability, or indiscriminately decreases paracellular permeability. In the light of these results it is hypothesized that the renal Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) waste may not be solely due to reduced resorption in the TAL but at least in part to paracellular back-leak of Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) into the tubular lumen of the distal convoluted tubule.

Abstract
Claudins are a family of tight junction membrane proteins that regulate paracellular permeability of epithelia, likely by forming the lining of the paracellular pore. Claudins are expressed throughout the renal tubule, and mutations in two claudin genes are now known to cause familial hypercalciuric hypomagnesemia with nephrocalcinosis. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the physiological role of various claudins in normal kidney function, and in understanding the fundamental biology of claudins, including the molecular basis for selectivity of permeation, claudin interactions in tight junction formation, and regulation of claudins by protein kinases and other intracellular signals.

Abstract
Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC), an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder is characterized by the impaired tubular reabsorption of magnesium and calcium in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This disease is caused by mutations in the claudin-16 gene (CLDN16), which encodes the tight junction protein, claudin-16. Claudin-16 belongs to the claudin family and regulates the paracellular transport of magnesium and calcium. Here, we report on three Turkish siblings with typical clinical features of FHHNC in association with the homozygous mutation Leu151Phe.
