19508970 | SLC35D1 is responsible for Schneckenbecken dysplasia (SBD), a lethal, autosomal recessive disorder. The authors searched for SLC35D1 mutations in five families with SBD and 15 patients with other SSDD group diseases, including achodrogenesis type 1A, spondylometaphyseal dysplasia Sedaghatian type and fibrochondrogenesis. They identified four novel mutations, c.319C>T (p.R107X), IVS4+3A>G, a 4959-bp deletion causing the removal of exon 7 (p.R178fsX15), and c.193A>C (p. T65P), in three SBD families. Exon trapping assay showed IVS4+3A>G caused skipping of exon 4 and a frameshift (p.L109fsX18). Yeast complementation assay showed the T65P mutant protein lost the transporter activity of nucleotide sugars. Patients were either homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for pathogenic mutations in the gene. |
There is currently no evidence to suggest that haploinsufficiency of SLC35D1 is associated with an abnormal phenotype.
