Abstract
LONP1 encodes a mitochondrial protease essential for protein quality control and metabolism. Variants in LONP1 are associated with a diverse and expanding spectrum of disorders, including Cerebral, Ocular, Dental, Auricular, and Skeletal anomalies syndrome (CODAS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), with some individuals exhibiting features of mitochondrial encephalopathy. We report 16 novel LONP1 variants identified in 16 individuals (11 with NDD, 5 with CDH), further expanding the clinical spectrum. Structural mapping of disease-associated missense variants revealed phenotype-specific clustering, with CODAS variants enriched in the proteolytic chamber and NDD variants more broadly distributed. CODAS is caused by biallelic variants and CDH by monoallelic variants, both of which are predicted to act through loss-of-function mechanisms. Both monoallelic and biallelic variants are associated with LONP1-related NDD, suggesting complex mechanisms such as dominant-negative effects. Our findings broaden the phenotypic and genetic spectrum of LONP1-associated disorders and highlight the essential role of LONP1 in mitochondrial function and development.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Genetics links research to the clinic, translating advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of genetic disease for the practising clinical geneticist. The journal publishes high quality research papers, short reports, reviews and mini-reviews that connect medical genetics research with clinical practice.
Topics of particular interest are:
• Linking genetic variations to disease
• Genome rearrangements and disease
• Epigenetics and disease
• The translation of genotype to phenotype
• Genetics of complex disease
• Management/intervention of genetic diseases
• Novel therapies for genetic diseases
• Developmental biology, as it relates to clinical genetics
• Social science research on the psychological and behavioural aspects of living with or being at risk of genetic disease
