Genotype-phenotype correlation in inherited severe insulin resistance.

چکیده
The insulin receptor is a ligand-activated tyrosine kinase. Mutations in the corresponding gene cause the rare inherited insulin-resistant disorders leprechaunism and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. Patients with the most severe syndrome, leprechaunism, have growth restriction, altered glucose homeostasis and early death (usually before 1 year of age). Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome is less severe, with survival up to 5-15 years of age. These disorders are transmitted as autosomal recessive traits. Here we report six new patients and correlate mutations in the insulin receptor gene with survival. Patients with leprechaunism were homozygous or compound heterozygous for mutations in the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor and their cells had markedly impaired insulin binding (<10% of controls). Mutations in their insulin receptor gene inserted premature stop codons (E124X, R372X, G650X, E665X and C682X), resulting in decreased levels of mature mRNA, or affected the extracellular domain of the receptor (R86P, A92V, DeltaN281, I898T and R899W). Three patients with Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome had at least one missense mutation in the intracellular domain of the insulin receptor (P970T, I1116T, R1131W and R1174W). Expression studies in CHO cells indicated that the R86P, A92V, DeltaN281, I898T, R899W and R1131W mutations markedly impaired insulin binding (<5% of control), while the P970T, I1116T and R1174W mutant receptors retained significant insulin-binding activity. These results indicate that mutations in the insulin receptor retaining residual insulin-binding correlate with prolonged survival in our series of patients with extreme insulin resistance.

متن کاملMolecular genetics of severe insulin resistance.
Leprechaunism and type A diabetes represent inborn errors of insulin resistance whose phenotypes suggested causation by mutations in the insulin receptor gene. Cells cultured from patients with leprechaunism specifically lacked high-affinity insulin binding. Partial but different degrees of impairment were observed in cells cultured from first-degree relatives. Different mutations in the insuli...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene mutations. We ascertained five patients with a novel complex CFTR allele, with two mutations, H939R and H949L, inherited in cis in the same exon of CFTR gene, and one different mutation per patient inherited in trans in a wide population of 289 Caucasian CF subjects from South Italy. The genotype-p...
متن کاملGenotype–Phenotype Correlations in Iranian Myotonic Dystrophy Type I Patients
Objectives: Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) is a dominantly inherited disorder with a multisystemic pattern affecting skeletal muscle, heart, eye, endocrine and central nervous system. DM1 is associated with the expansion and instability of CTG repeat in the 3chr('39') untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene located on chromosome 19q13.3. The aim of this study w...
