Abstrakt: Aims: Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the rare association of early-onset osteoporosis and severe ocular abnormalities such as persistent fetal vasculature and microphthalmia. Biallelic mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-5 gene (LRP5) have been associated with OPPG. We present clinical and genetic data from three Mexican OPPG patients, a pair of sibs, and a sporadic case.
Materials and Methods: Three patients underwent clinical examination, including a complete ophthalmic evaluation. Based on the clinical diagnosis of OPPG, the entire coding sequence of LRP5 was polymerase chain reaction-amplified and directly Sanger-sequenced. Genetic testing was extended to the parents of the affected patients.
Results: Phenotypic variability was observed in the familial case and molecular analysis identified a novel homozygous c.1145C>T, p.(Pro382Leu) variant in both sibs. As expected, their parents were heterozygous carriers. The sporadic patient exhibited a severe osseous phenotype, microphthalmia, and neurological symptoms. In this patient, homozygosity for the c.442C>T, p.(Gln148*) variant was demonstrated, whereas her parents were heterozygous carriers. The p.(Pro382Leu) pathogenic mutation has been previously reported only in a compound heterozygous state in OPPG patients.
Conclusions: Two novel homozygous missense and nonsense variants were demonstrated in three OPPG cases from Mexico. Our results expand the spectrum of disease-causing LRP5 mutations. This is the first report of OPPG in our population and our findings may potentially add to a genotype-phenotype correlation.
