AbstractCongenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is an autosomal recessive disorder originating from an abnormal transporter mechanism in the intestines. It was sourced from a mutation in the SLC5A1 gene, which encodes a sodium-dependent glucose transporter. Here we report a 2-day-old girl with CGGM who presented with severe hypernatremic dehydration due to diarrhea beginning in the first hours of life. Mutation analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation NM_000343.3 c.127G > A (p.Gly43Arg) in the SLC5A1 gene. Since CGGM can cause fatal diarrhea in the early neonatal period, timely diagnosis of the disease seems to be essential.

The occurrence of a new mutation affecting cartilage and bone in mice is reported. The gene is lethal, shows autosomal recessive inheritance, and has high penetrance. It is not allelic to shorthead and probably not to phocomelia or achondroplasia. It results in a foreshortened face, cleft palate, defective trachea, and shortened long bones with flared metaphyses. Chondrocytes of epiphyseal cartilage from the mutant are not aligned in columns, and there is a decrease in the usual staining of the cartilage matrix. Electron microscope observations show large, wide collagen fibrils with "native" banding in the matrix of mutant cartilage, which are not present in normal cartilage. Possible explanations for the expression of this genetic disorder of cartilage development are put forward.

Abstract Juvenile hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetically heterogeneous disorder transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. It is most often caused by mutations in the HJV gene and rarely in the HAMP gene. Hepcidin is considered to constitute a negative regulator of iron absorption, and its production is increased in inflammatory states and iron overload. We report the detection of a new mutation in the HAMP gene leading to juvenile hemochromatosis in 2 members of a Portuguese family. The mutation lies in the 5′-UTR (untranslated region) of the gene and creates a new initiation codon in the context of a Kozak sequence. We found no trace of hepcidin protein in the patients' urine, suggesting that ribosomes select the mutant initiation codon for translation. The decrease of hepcidin production would thus lead to increased iron absorption, resulting in iron deposition in parenchymal tissues. Phlebotomy therapy of the 2 patients resulted in impressive clinical improvement. (Blood. 2004;104: 2181-2183)

Abstract Background: Analbuminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder in which individuals have little or no circulating albumin, usually the most abundant plasma protein. We describe a new mutation associated with analbuminemia. Methods: We studied four apparently unrelated patients who had congenital analbuminemia: two of Amerindian and two of Turkish origin. The 14 exons and the flanking intron sequences of the albumin gene were amplified by PCR and screened for mutations by single-strand conformational polymorphism and heteroduplex analysis. The mutated DNA fragments were sequenced directly. Results: In all four cases, analbuminemia was caused by the same mutation, an AT deletion at nucleotides 2430–2431, the 91st and 92nd bases of exon 3. This novel defect, named Kayseri, produces a frameshift leading to a premature stop two codons downstream. The predicted translation product would consist of 54 amino acid residues. Conclusions: The AT deletion at nucleotides 2430–2431 is a novel mutation associated with analbuminemia.
