A novel AVPR2 splice site mutation leads to partial X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in two brothers

Abstract: • X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is caused by AVPR2 mutations, and disease severity can vary depending on the functional effect of the mutation. What is New: • We demonstrate here that a splice site mutation in AVPR2 leads to partial X-linked NDI in two brothers. • Treatment with high-dose DDAVP led to improvement of polyuria and polydipsia, weight gain, and growth.

“…For underage patients, low-salt diet and reasonable protein diet are necessary to maintain growth and development [Bockenhauer and Bichet, 2015]. The traditional medicine for NDI are thiazide diuretics and a high concentra-tion of desmopressin [Konoshita et al, 2004;Sung and Lin, 2011;Schernthaner-Reiter et al, 2016]. In our study, the proband accepted the hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg/ day) treatment, and the urine volume reduced to 2500 mL per day.…”

“…One possible explanation for this discrepancy is that our result is based on cell-based characterization of the GGCX-Δex3 mutant. However the patients’ splice-site mutation (c.373+3G>T) may not completely abolish normal processing of the GGCX pre-mRNA, and this could produce a portion of correctly processed mRNA for translating the functional protein, as has been reported in other diseases (Mikkola et al , 1997; Schernthaner-Reiter et al , 2016). It is also possible that this splice-site mutation could result in several variant mRNA transcripts of GGCX, as has previously described for other genes (Gallinaro et al , 2006; Kallabi et al , 2015).…”

“…Mutations in exon-intron junctions could lead to mis-splicing and could result in exon skipping, activation of a cryptic splice-site, or intron retention. Importantly, a single splice-site mutation can result in multiple mRNA transcripts and can affect the protein function (Gallinaro et al , 2006; Kallabi et al , 2015; Mikkola et al , 1997; Schernthaner-Reiter et al , 2016). Therefore, it is important to clarify the effect of the GGCX splicing-site mutation (c.373+3G>T) on the splicing mechanism and the possible GGCX mRNA transcripts in these affected patients, especially when mutations in the causative gene for the classical PXE syndrome have been excluded.…”

“…[3] To date, more than 220 AVPR2 variants have been recognized to cause X-linked NDI. [10] Missense mutations can lead to partially preserved receptor expression and function and hence a milder diabetes insipidus. [11]…”
