Identification of a novel AluSx-mediated deletion of exon 3 in the SBDS gene in a patient with Shwachman–Diamond syndrome

Abstract: Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is caused by mutations in the SBDS gene, most of which are the result of gene conversion events involving its highly homologous pseudogene SBDSP. Here we describe the molecular characterization of the first documented gross deletion in the SBDS gene, in a 4-year-old Portuguese girl with SDS. The clinical diagnosis was based on the presence of hematological symptoms (severe anemia and cyclic neutropenia), pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and skeletal abnormalities. Routine mole… Show more

“…The other patient with a large deletion had a deletion of exon 3; deletions in this region have been previously reported. 45 , 46 Our findings suggest investigation for large structural variants in patients with a single known SBDS PV without a second pathogenic allele may be required in order to identify the genetic etiology of SDS.…”

“…EGFP-SBDS and EGFP-truncated SBDS proteins were detected at the expected size (Fig. 1b) [3,6,9,12,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. However, 85% of mutation sites were found in the same position, referred to as hot spots, both c.183TA[CT and c.258?2T[C. Several diseaserelated mutations (i.e., C31W, K33E, N34I, L71P), which were found in Domain I, did not rescue the cell growth in yeast [6].…”

“…Most patients harbour the biallelic pathogenic variants c.183_184TA > CT (K62X) and c.258 + 2T > C (C84fsX3), which result in truncated forms of the protein within its first domain [3]. Less common mutations have also been reported throughout the gene including nonsense mutations, missense mutations, small deletions, indel conversions and splice-site mutations [3,4,5,6,7]. The SBDS gene is located in chromosome 7q11, and encodes for a protein structurally organized into three highly conserved domains [8,9,10].…”
