Abstract
An SLC30A9-associated cerebrorenal syndrome was first reported in consanguineous Bedouin kindred by Perez et al. in 2017. Although the function of the gene has not yet been fully elucidated, it may be implicated in Wnt signaling and nuclear regulation, as well as in cell and mitochondrial zinc regulation. In this research report, we present a female proband with two distinct, inherited autosomal recessive loss-of-function SLC30A9 variants from unrelated parents. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a possible SLC30A9-associated cerebrorenal syndrome in a nonconsanguineous family. Furthermore, a limited statistical analysis was conducted to identify possible allele frequency differences between populations. Our findings provide further support for an SLC30A9-associated cerebrorenal syndrome and may help clarify the gene's function through its possible disease association.
期刊介绍:
Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, international journal in the field of precision medicine. Articles in the journal present genomic and molecular analyses of individuals or cohorts alongside their clinical presentations and phenotypic information. The journal''s purpose is to rapidly share insights into disease development and treatment gained by application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarker analysis, and other approaches. The journal covers the fields of cancer, complex diseases, monogenic disorders, neurological conditions, orphan diseases, infectious disease, gene therapy, and pharmacogenomics. It has a rapid peer-review process that is based on technical evaluation of the analyses performed, not the novelty of findings, and offers a swift, clear path to publication. The journal publishes: Research Reports presenting detailed case studies of individuals and small cohorts, Research Articles describing more extensive work using larger cohorts and/or functional analyses, Rapid Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant and/or novel phenotype associated with a known disease gene, Rapid Cancer Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant or combination of variants in a cancer type, Variant Discrepancy Resolution describing efforts to resolve differences or update variant interpretations in ClinVar through case-level data sharing, Follow-up Reports linked to previous observations, Plus Review Articles, Editorials, and Position Statements on best practices for research in precision medicine.
