SUMMARYSLC45A2 mutations are responsible for several dilution phenotypes in horses, including cream, pearl, and sunshine. We sequenced the SLC45A2 gene in a horse that possessed a diluted coat color but tested negative for any known dilution genotypes. We identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in ECA21: SLC45A2:c.305G>A; p.(Arg102Gln) which we have named snowdrop (Csno). The snowdrop dilution is autosomal recessive and dilutes both red and black pigment in the homozygous state, creating a phenotype similar to homozygous cream. We also identified this mutation in the heterozygous state in several relatives, including the sire and dam of the affected horse, where it has no visible effect on phenotype. Based on these data, the snowdrop variant produces a recessive dilution similar to cream, and its discovery confirms that multiple SLC45A2 alleles cause dilute phenotypes in horses.

Abstract An autosomal dominant form of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA III) is caused by a missense mutation in the KIF23 gene whose protein product, mitotic kinesin-like protein (MKLP1), is part of the centralspindlin complex involved in cytokinesis. Several case reports suggested the existence of an autosomal recessive inheritance form of CDA III so far not genetically characterized. By means of whole exome sequencing in a Spanish CDA III family with healthy parents, we identified in the male proband a novel homozygous missense mutation p.Pro432Ser in the RACGAP1 gene, which encodes for the RACGAP1 protein (Rac GTPase-activating protein 1, also known as MgcRacGAP or CYK-4), the partner of MKLP1 in the centralspindlin complex. A second CDA III Spanish patient has a different rare and novel homozygous missense mutation, p.Thr220Ala, in the RACGAP1 gene. Both patients presented with macrocytic anemia, aberrant multinucleated erythroblasts in the bone marrow typically seen in CDA III cases, no iron overload and skull defects secondary to severe anemia. Silencing of RACGAP1 using siRNA in HeLa cells mimics the cytokinesis defect observed in the bone marrow of our patients. Both mutations disrupt normal cytokinesis and alter the GTPase balance in patients' cells. We conclude that the autosomal recessive form of CDA type III is caused by mutations in the RACGAP1 gene, encoding for RACGAP1 protein, which is the partner of MKLP1 in the centralspindlin complex critical for cytokinesis and now both proteins are associated with CDA type III.

AbstractGitelman syndrome (GS) is caused by biallelic mutations in SLC12A3 as an autosomal recessive trait. A patient with a de novo 16q12.2q21 microdeletion showed clinical features of GS. SLC12A3 included in the deletion was analyzed, and a rare missense variant (c.1222A>C [p.N406H]) was identified as hemizygous. Consequently, GS was caused by the revealed SLC12A3 variant owing to chromosomal microdeletion.
