This study explores the molecular and clinical spectrum of OI, with a focus on autosomal recessive (AR) forms, therapeutic outcomes, and bone mineral density (BMD) in carriers of AR OI-associated gene variants from the Indian population. A total of 78 clinically suspected OI patients were analyzed, yielding a high diagnostic rate of 92.3%. Exome sequencing was performed in all cases, with whole-genome sequencing in selected exome-negative cases. Autosomal dominant (AD) and AR OI accounted for 66% and 34% of cases, respectively. P3H1 (n = 11) was the most frequently implicated AR gene causing OI, followed by SERPINF1 (n = 5) and WNT1 (n = 4), with 79% of AR variants being novel. Phenotypic evaluation (n = 67) revealed fractures, short stature (87%), and bony deformities (84%) as predominant features. A rare homozygous COL1A1 variant was identified in one patient, while another patient harbored additional variants in AD OI genes, suggesting a potential digenic or modifier effect. Phenotypic severity followed the order from most to least severe: AR genes > COL1A2 (substitution and non-substitution) > COL1A1 (substitution > non-substitution). A self-designed, preliminary clinical severity scoring system ranked CRTAP followed by P3H1, as the AR genes associated with the most severe phenotypes. Therapeutic assessment showed a significant reduction in fracture incidence following zoledronate therapy only in the COL1A1 group, with no notable improvements in the COL1A2 or AR groups. Additionally, BMD evaluation in carrier parents of AR gene causing OI indicated a higher predisposition to low BMD among WNT1 gene carriers. However, these findings are preliminary and limited by small sample size. This study provides an extensive genotypic and phenotypic characterization of OI in the Indian population, with a focus on AR OI. It documents differential therapeutic responses among genetic subgroups and provides preliminary observations on BMD in carrier parents of AR OI-an aspect that has been less explored previously and suggest the need for tailored management strategies. The findings in this study also raise the possibility of genetic modifiers contributing to phenotypic variability, warranting further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":10354,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144616610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disruption of this pathway is increasingly recognized in pediatric neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we study a novel previously uncharacterized homozygous and autosomal recessive missense variant, c.1372G>C (p.Gly433Ala), in the autophagy gene ATG2A, identified in a 3-year-old female proband presenting with developmental regression, seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and MRI-confirmed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. The affected residue, Gly433, is evolutionarily conserved across eukaryotes and predicted to be structurally and functionally critical. Computational modeling and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the G433A substitution induces local β-sheet extension, increased protein flexibility, higher aggregation propensity, and global structural destabilization. Proband-derived fibroblasts expressing ATG2A-G433A showed normal transcript and protein levels, but exhibited mislocalization of ATG2A to the cytosol, reduced colocalization with LC3B, loss of autophagosome formation, and a marked increase in protein aggregates. Proteotoxic stress was further evidenced by significant accumulation of Proteostat- and SQSTM1-positive granules. Additionally, transcript levels of unfolded protein response markers (GRP78, PERK, ATF4, and CHOP) were significantly upregulated, suggesting increased ER stress signaling. Cell cycle analysis revealed a substantial increase in cell death in proband fibroblasts. Overall, our findings identify ATG2A as a potentially novel disease gene and its G433A variant as a pathogenic substitution that disrupts autophagy and proteostasis, driving neurodegeneration via aggregation-prone misfolding and autophagy failure.
