ATP6AP1-CDG: Follow-up and female phenotype

JIMD Rep. 2020 Apr 9;53(1):80-82. doi: 10.1002/jmd2.12104. eCollection 2020 May.

Abstract

In 2016, 11 male patients were reported with immunodeficiency and hepatic, gastric and (in some) neurological disease due to X-linked ATP6AP1 deficiency (ATP6AP1-CDG). In 2018, three other patients were reported with additional features: connective tissue abnormalities, sensorineural hearing loss, hyperopia, glomerular and tubular dysfunction, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and altered amino acid and lipid metabolism. We here present a follow-up of three reported siblings showing progression of deafness to total hearing loss, progressive loss of hair up to alopecia, chestnut skin and, at last follow-up, in some of them proteinuria. Three female carriers showed a normal serum transferrin isoelectrofocusing but in two of them there was a persistent proteinuria.

Keywords: ATP6AP1 deficiency; congenital disorder of glycosylation; proteinuria.
