Mutations in PIGB Cause an Inherited GPI Biosynthesis Defect with an Axonal Neuropathy and Metabolic Abnormality in Severe Cases

Abstract: Proteins anchored to the cell surface via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) play various key roles in the human body, particularly in development and neurogenesis. As such, many developmental disorders are caused by mutations in genes involved in the GPI biosynthesis and remodeling pathway. We describe ten unrelated families with bi-allelic mutations in PIGB, a gene that encodes phosphatidylinositol glycan class B, which transfers the third mannose to the GPI. Ten different PIGB variants were found in these i… Show more

“…Twenty-one genes whose mutations caused IGD cover almost all steps in the biosynthesis of the core GPI, its transfer to proteins and maturation of the GPI, for which genes are known except a step mediated by PGAP5 [140][141][142][143][144][145][146]149,151,153,158,161]. It seems, therefore, that every step in GPI-AP biogenesis is critical for human health.…”

“…Ten mutations of the human PIGB gene were recently reported to cause inherited GPI deficiencies characterized by axonal neuropathy and metabolic abnormalities (Murakami et al, 2019). Among these ten mutations, the PIGB A388P mutant exhibits severe defects.…”

“…However, most patients, including the recently described cases that are due to GPIBD20 and GPIBD21, exhibit intellectual disability, psychomotor delay and epilepsy (5,6). Furthermore, due to residual function of GPI anchor synthesis, patient-derived fibroblasts display a reduced number of GPI-linked proteins on the cell surface (7).…”
