Popis: Two novel mutations were identified in a com- pound heterozygous male with lecithin:cholesterol acyl- transferase (LCAT) deficiency. Exon sequence determina- tion of the LCAT gene of the proband revealed two novel heterozygous mutations in exons one (C110T) and six (C991T) that predict non-conservative amino acid substitu- tions (Thr13Met and Pro307Ser, respectively). To assess the distinct functional impact of the separate mutant alleles, studies were conducted in the proband's 3-generation pedi- gree. The compound heterozygous proband had negligible HDL and severely reduced apolipoprotein A-I, LCAT mass, LCAT activity, and cholesterol esterification rate (CER). The proband's mother and two sisters were heterozygous for the Pro307Ser mutation and had low HDL, markedly reduced LCAT activity and CER, and the propensity for significant reductions in LCAT protein mass. The proband's father and two daughters were heterozygous for the Thr13Met mutation and also displayed low HDL, reduced LCAT activity and CER, and more modest decrements in LCAT mass. Mean LCAT specific activity was severely im- paired in the compound heterozygous proband and was re- duced by 50% in individuals heterozygous for either muta- tion, compared to wild type family members. It is also shown that the two mutations impair both catalytic activity and expression of the circulating protein.— Argyropoulos, G., A. Jenkins, R. L. Klein, T. Lyons, B. Wagenhorst, J.
