[PMID: 36911408 PMCID: PMC10001893 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1132364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare autosomal recessive amino acid metabolic disease. This study is to identify the pathogenic genetic factors of six cases of MUSD and evaluates the application value of high-throughput sequencing technology in the early diagnosis of MUSD. Methods: Clinical examination was carried out for patients and used blood tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), urine gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and the application of high-throughput sequencing technology for detection. Validate candidate mutations by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Sanger sequencing technology. Bioinformatics software analyzed the variants' pathogenicity. Using Swiss PDB Viewer software to predict the effect of mutation on the structure of BCKDHA and BCKDHB proteins. Result: A total of six MSUD patients were diagnosed, including four males and two females. Nine variants were found in three genes of six MSUD families by high-throughput sequencing, including four missense mutations: c.659C>T(p.A220V), c.818C>T(p.T273I), c.1134C>G(p.D378E), and c.1006G>A(p.G336S); two non-sense mutations: c.1291C>T(p.R431*) and c.331C>T(p.R111*); three deletion mutations: c.550delT (p.S184Pfs*46), c.718delC (p.P240Lfs*14), and c.795delG (p.N266Tfs*64). Sanger sequencing's results were consistent with the high-throughput sequencing. The bioinformatics software revealed that the mutations were harmful, and the prediction results of Swiss PDB Viewer suggest that variation affects protein conformation. Conclusion: This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT genes in six MSUD families, including two novel pathogenic variants in the BCKDHB gene, which enriched the genetic mutational spectrum of the disease. High-throughput sequencing is essential for the MSUD's differential diagnosis, early treatment, and prenatal diagnosis.

Mol Genet Genomic Med 2020; 8:e1337. [PMID: 32515140 PMCID: PMC7434729 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Maple sirup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder. The disease‐causing mutations can affect the BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT genes encoding for the E1α, E1β, and E2 subunits of the multienzyme branched‐chain α‐keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex. In the present study, novel pathogenic variants in BCKDHB and DBT genes were identified in three Vietnamese families with MSUD. Methods Three newborn patients from three unrelated Vietnamese families were diagnosed with MSUD at the Metabolic Clinic, National Hospital of Pediatrics. Blood samples of 11 relatives from two generations of the three families diagnosed with MSUD were analyzed using exome and Sanger sequencing analyses. Results Novel pathogenic variants in BCKDHB (c.1103C>T, c.989A>G, and c.704G>A), and DBT (c.263_265delAAG) genes were identified in three pediatric patients with MSUD. Conclusions We have identified novel pathogenic variants in the MSUD‐related genes in the pedigree of the three patient's families. Our findings expand the mutational spectrum of MSUD and provide the scientific basis for genetic counseling for the patient's families.
