Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22094514. [PMID: 33925963 PMCID: PMC8123450 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22094514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Through the use of new genomic and metabolomic technologies, our comprehension of the molecular and biochemical etiologies of genetic disorders is rapidly expanding, and so are insights into their varying phenotypes. Dosage compensation (lyonization) is an epigenetic mechanism that balances the expression of genes on heteromorphic sex chromosomes. Many studies in the literature have suggested a profound influence of this phenomenon on the manifestation of X-linked disorders in females. In this review, we summarize the clinical and genetic findings in female heterozygotic carriers of a pathogenic variant in one of ten selected X-linked genes whose defects result in metabolic disorders.

ATP7A Clinical Genetics Resource - A comprehensive clinically annotated database and resource for genetic variants in ATP7A gene. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2020; 18:2347-2356. [PMID: 32994893 PMCID: PMC7501406 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2020.08.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
ATP7A is a critical copper transporter involved in Menkes Disease, Occipital horn Syndrome and X-linked distal spinal muscular atrophy type 3 which are X linked genetic disorders. These are rare diseases and their genetic epidemiology of the diseases is unknown. A number of genetic variants in the genes have been reported in published literature as well as databases, however, understanding the pathogenicity of variants and genetic epidemiology requires the data to be compiled in a unified format. To this end, we systematically compiled genetic variants from published literature and datasets. Each of the variants were systematically evaluated for evidences with respect to their pathogenicity and classified as per the American College of Medical Genetics and the Association of Molecular Pathologists (ACMG-AMP) guidelines into Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, Likely Benign and Variants of Uncertain Significance. Additional integrative analysis of population genomic datasets provides insights into the genetic epidemiology of the disease through estimation of carrier frequencies in global populations. To deliver a mechanistic explanation for the pathogenicity of selected variants, we also performed molecular modeling studies. Our modeling studies concluded that the small structural distortions observed in the local structures of the protein may lead to the destabilization of the global structure. To the best of our knowledge, ATP7A Clinical Genetics Resource is one of the most comprehensive compendium of variants in the gene providing clinically relevant annotations in gene.

Abstract
Menkes disease (MD) usually presents in infancy with respiratory and neurological complications. Severe isolated vasculo-connective tissue involvement in infancy is rare, and hence the precise and timely diagnosis is difficult. We report a case of an 8-week-old male infant who succumbed to acute, severe exsanguination, and hemorrhagic shock secondary to a large retroperitoneal hematoma due to rupture of a right iliac artery aneurysm. Perimortem musculoskeletal findings raised suspicion of nonaccidental injury. However, postmortem review of facial traits raised the suspicion of MD. MD was subsequently confirmed on genetic testing. Child health clinicians must remain aware of MD as a rare cause of infant vasculopathy or atypical skeletal abnormalities.

Abstract
We report on a family with occipital horn syndrome (OHS) diagnosed in the proband's late fifties. A novel ATP7A pathogenic variant (c.4222A > T, p.(Lys1408*)), representing the first nonsense variant and the second late truncation causing OHS rather than classic Menkes disease, was found to segregate in the family. The predicted maintenance of transmembrane domains is consistent with a residual protein activity, which may explain the mild clinical presentation.
