compound heterozygous missense mutations (c.554C>T, p.Thr185Met and c.1073C>T, p.Ser358Leu)
Case# A3054-21, Macedonian, Male, 5yr age of onset
CasePresentingHPOs HP:0001919, HP:0000121, HP:0000074
CasePreviousTesting 30 genes previously linked to nephrolithiasis were screened by exon sequencing in these individuals, but no causative mutations were detected
CaseMethod1 NGS
CaseGenotypingMethod list of 18 hypothetical candidate genes and performed exon amplification with consecutive next-generation sequencing in a multicenter cohort of 348 individuals with nephrolithiasis or isolated nephrocalcinosis
Variant NM_134425.2(SLC26A1):c.554C>T (p.Thr185Met), NM_022042.3(SLC26A1):c.1073C>T (p.Ser358Leu)
ClinVar 242374, 242375
VariantEvidence Immunofluorescence of SLC26A1 protein, when overexpressed in HEK293 cells, showed that p.Thr185Met causes protein to fail to reach plasma membrane (Figure 2). Monitoring of intracellular pH showed that p.Thr185Met has severely reduced activity (Figure 4). PCR of slc26a1 transcript in H293K cells showed no change in amount of transcript suggesting that the low p.Ser363Leu band levels in the immunoblot (Figure 3) were due to low portein stability.
