Abstract
Citrin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with SLC25A13 gene pathogenic variants, with more than a hundred known at present. It manifests in neonates as failure to thrive and acute liver insufficiency. We herein describe a case of a 4-week-old infant who presented with insufficient weight gain and liver failure accompanied by hyperammonemia. She was diagnosed with Citrin deficiency after a thorough biochemical and molecular analysis including amino acid profile, DNA sequencing of genes of interest and RNA splice site evaluation, to reveal a yet unknown damaging variant of the SLC25A13 gene.

The mutation spectrum of SLC25A13 gene in citrin deficiency: identification of novel mutations in Vietnamese pediatric cohort with neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis. J Hum Genet 2023; 68:305-312. [PMID: 36599957 DOI: 10.1038/s10038-022-01112-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Citrin deficiency (CD), a disorder caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene, may result in neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis. This study was purposely to explore the mutation spectrum of SLC25A13 gene in Vietnamese CD patients. METHODS The 292 unrelated CD patients were first screened for four high-frequency mutations by PCR/PCR-RFLP. Then, Sanger sequencing was performed directly for heterozygous or undetected patients. Novel mutations identified would need to be confirmed by their parents. RESULTS 12 pathogenic SLC25A13 mutations were identified in all probands, including three deletions c.851_854del (p.R284Rfs*3), c.70-63_133del (p.Y24_72Ifs*10), and c.[1956C>A;1962del] (p.[N652K;F654Lfs*45]), two splice-site mutations (IVS6+5G>A and IVS11+1G>A), one nonsense mutations c.1399C>T (p.R467*), one duplication mutation c.1638_1660dup (p.A554fs*570), one insertion IVSl6ins3kb (p.A584fs*585), and four missense mutation c.2T>C (p.M1T), c.1231G>A (p.V411M), c.1763G>A (p.R588Q), and c.135G>C (p.L45F). Among them, c.851_854del (mut I) was the most identified mutant allele (91.78%) with a total of 247 homozygous and 42 heterozygous genotypes of carriers. Interestingly, two novel mutations were identified: c.70-63_133del (p.Y24_72Ifs*10) and c.[1956C>A;1962del] (p.[N652K;F654Lfs*45]). CONCLUSION The SLC25A13 mutation spectrum related to intrahepatic cholestasis infants in Vietnam revealed a quite similar pattern to Asian countries' reports. This finding supports the use of targeted SLC25A13 mutation for CD screening in Vietnam and contributed to the SLC25A13 mutation spectra worldwide. It also helps emphasize the role of DNA analysis in treatment, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) is a common clinical phenotype of citrin deficiency in infants. Its phenotype is atypical, so genetic testing is quite necessary for the diagnosis. Case presentation We report 4 patients with jaundice and low body weight. Furthermore, the biochemical examination of all showed abnormal liver function and metabolic changes. DNA samples of the patients were extracted and subjected to genetic screening. All candidate pathogenic variants were validated by Sanger sequencing, and CNVs were ascertained by qPCR. The genetic screening revealed 6 variants in 4 patients, and all patients carried compound heterozygous variants of SLC25A13. Importantly, 3 variants were newly discovered: a nonsense mutation in exon17 (c.1803C > G), a frameshift mutation in exon 11(c.1141delG) and a deletion of the whole exon11. Thus, four NICCD patients were clearly caused by variants of SLC25A13. Biochemical indicators of all patients gradually returned to normal after dietary adjustment. Conclusions Our study clarified the genetic etiology of the four infants, expanded the variant spectrum of SLC25A13, and provided a basis for genetic counseling of the family. Early diagnosis and intervention should be given to patients with NICCD.

Abstract
Citrullinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by elevated concentrations of citrulline in the blood resulting from malfunction of the urea cycle. It is categorized into two types, types I and II, which are caused by argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), and citrin (SLC25A13) gene mutations, respectively. In this study, we performed genetic analysis on nine Chinese infants with citrullinemia using next-generation sequencing, which identified a novel mutation (p.Leu313Met) and a rare mutation (p.Thr323Ile, rs1250895424) of ASS1. We also found a novel splicing mutation of SLC25A13: c.1311 + 4_+7del. Functional analysis of the ASS1 missense mutations showed that both significantly impaired the enzyme activity of ASS1, with the p. Thr323Ile mutation clearly affecting the interaction between ASS1 and protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7). These findings expand the mutational spectrum of ASS1 and SLC25A13, and further our understanding of the molecular genetic mechanism of citrullinemia in the Chinese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the physical and neuropsychological development of children with Citrin deficiency (CD). METHODS A total of 93 children, aged 1.9-59.8 months, who were diagnosed with CD by SLC25A13 gene analysis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from August 2010 to August 2015, were enrolled as subjects. A retrospective analysis was performed for their birth condition and physical growth and neuropsychological development indices. Among these children, 7 underwent physical measurement and neuropsychological development assessment within 1 year old and after 1 year old, and therefore, a total of 100 cases were included for analysis. RESULTS For the 93 children with CD, the incidence rate of failure to thrive was 25% (23 children) and the proportion of small for gestational age was 47% (44 children). For the 100 cases of CD, the incidence rates of growth retardation, underweight, emaciation, overweight, and microcephalus were 23% (23 cases), 14% (14 cases), 4% (4 cases), 8% (8 cases), and 9% (9 cases), respectively. The incidence rate of neuropsychological developmental delay was 25% (25 cases), and the incidence rates of development delay in the five domains of adaptability, gross motor, fine motor, language, and social ability were 7% (7 cases), 15% (15 cases), 7% (7 cases), 9% (9 cases), and 7% (7 cases), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Physical and neuropsychological developmental delay can be observed in children with CD, and physical and neuropsychological development should be regularly assessed.

Abstract
Citrin deficiency is one of the most common inborn errors of metabolism in East Asians, which may manifest as neonatal cholestasis, failure to thrive and dyslipidaemia, or recurrent hyperammonaemic encephalopathy. Its molecular diagnosis requires confirmation of the presence of biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC25A13 gene by sequencing, and analysis for a common insertion IVS16ins3kb. However, patients with compatible biochemical features but only one monoallelic pathogenic variant have remained a diagnostic challenge. Here we report the development, validation and application of a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay using an in-house oligonucleotide probemix and a customised Coffalyer.NET worksheet for detection of exonic copy number variations in SLC25A13. With this MLPA assay, we successfully identified the presence of a heterozygous exonic deletion in SLC25A13 in three of 15 (20%) unrelated individuals with only one monoallelic pathogenic variant detected using conventional methods. Three exonic deletions, two novel involving exon 14 and one reported involving exon 5, were subsequently confirmed with Sanger sequencing. In summary, we developed, evaluated, and demonstrated the clinical utility of an in-house MLPA assay to look for exonic deletions in SLC25A13 in patients with citrin deficiency. With the discovery of novel deletions, MLPA should be considered a test of choice for molecular diagnosis of citrin deficiency when the sequencing result is inconclusive.

Sodium Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide (NTCP) Deficiency Hidden Behind Citrin Deficiency in Early Infancy: A Report of Three Cases. Front Genet 2019; 10:1108.

Abstract
Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), a carrier protein encoded by the gene SLC10A1, is expressed in the basolateral membrane of the hepatocyte to uptake bile acids from plasma. As a new inborn error of bile acid metabolism, NTCP deficiency remains far from being well understood in terms of the clinical and molecular features. Citrin deficiency is a well-known autosomal recessive disease arising from SLC25A13 mutations, and in neonates or infants, this condition presents as transient intrahepatic cholestasis which usually resolves before 1 year of age. All the three patients in this paper exhibited cholestatic jaundice and elevated total bile acids in their early infancy, which were attributed to citrin deficiency by SLC25A13 genetic analysis. In response to feeding with lactose-free and medium-chain triglycerides-enrich formula, their clinical and laboratory presentations disappeared gradually while the hypercholanemia persisted, even beyond 1 year of age. On subsequent SLC10A1 analysis, they were all homozygous for the well-known pathogenic variant c.800C > T (p.Ser267Phe), and NTCP deficiency was thus definitely diagnosed. The findings in this paper indicated that NTCP deficiency could be covered up by citrin deficiency during early infancy; however, in citrin-deficient patients with intractable hypercholanemia following resolved cholestatic jaundice, NTCP deficiency should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
The human SLC25A13 gene encodes the liver type aspartate/glutamate carrier isoform 2 (AGC2, commonly named as citrin), which plays a key role in the main NADH-shuttle of human hepatocyte. Biallelic SLC25A13 mutations result in Citrin deficiency (CD). In order to identify the important regulatory region of SLC25A13 gene and elucidate the way how potential promoter mutations affect the citrin expression, we performed promoter deletion analysis and established the reporter constructs of luciferase gene-carrying SLC25A13 promoter containing several mutations located in putative transcription factor-binding sites. The luciferase activities of all promoter constructs were measured using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the promoter of SLC25A13 gene lacks TATA box and obviously typical initiator element, but contains a CCAAT box and two GC box. Promoter deletion analysis confirmed the region from -221 to -1 upstream ATG was essential for SLC25A13 to maintain the promoter activity. We utilized dual-luciferase reporter system as function analytical model to tentatively assess the effect of artificially constructed promoter mutations on citrin expression, and our analysis revealed that mutated putative CCAAT box and GC box could significantly affect the citrin expression. Our study confirmed the important SLC25A13 promoter regions that influenced citrin expression in HL7702 cells, and constructed a function analytical model. This work may be useful to further identify the pathogenic mutations leading to CD in the promoter region.

Abstract
Neonatal cholestasis (NC) is a diagnostic dilemma frequently countered in a neonatal care unit. Early diagnosis is vital for achieving an optimal patient outcome as many causes of cholestasis such as biliary atresia are time-sensitive and amenable to treatment if analyzed and treated early. Nonetheless, it is not generally simple to analyze these cases right on time as some of them are regularly missed due to the presence of pigmented stools, lack of newborn metabolic screening, and named as instances of prolonged jaundice. In this manner, we prescribe to explore all reasons for prolonged jaundice stretching out past 14 days in neonates. Besides, we suggest that stool card ought to be a piece of release rundown for all newborn children being released from the nursery. This is of most extreme significance in the nation like India where guaranteeing customary follow-up is as yet a tough assignment. These stool cards will help in the early determination of patients with NC particularly biliary atresia and guarantee their auspicious cure. Another reason which needs exceptional say is parenteral nutrition–associated liver illness, as the proportion of preterm babies is getting greater and greater with better neonatal care. These extreme preterm infants are in the requirement for prolonged (>14 days) total parenteral nourishment because of which they are at high hazard for NC contrasted with their more developed peers. In this survey, we will give an understanding of clinical approach, differential diagnosis, and clinical review of NC.
