Publication A novel mutation in NPR2 gene in a patient with acromesomelic dysplasia, maroteaux type(Medecine Et Hygiene, 2015-01-01) Sağ, S. Özemri; Görükmez, O.; Topak, A.; Görükmez, O.; Türe, M.; Şahintürk, S.; Gülten, T.; Yakut, T.; ÖZEMRİ SAĞ, ŞEBNEM; Görükmez, Orhan; ŞAHİNTÜRK, SERDAR; Topak, Ali; Ture, Mehmet; Gulten, Tuna; Yakut, Tahsin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Genetik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9241-0896; 0000-0002-9241-0896; HNQ-2791-2023; AAH-8355-2021; ACQ-9887-2022; AFZ-0764-2022; ECY-8582-2022; EYU-9227-2022; GIS-1493-2022A novel mutation in NPR2 gene in a patient with acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type: Acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by disproportionate shortening of skeletal elements, predominantly affecting the middle segments (forearms and forelegs) and distal segments (hands and feet) of appendicular skeleton. Furthermore it is related to axial skeleton and leads to wedging of vertebral bodies, with shorter dorsal margins than the ventral margins. Bartels et al. defined mutations in NPR2 gene, encoding natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B), underlying Acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux. We present here molecular and clinical findings of a case with AMDM. In a patient, a novel homozygous mutation c.1435C>T p.R479X in exon 7 of NPR2 gene was found. Further testing confirmed the heterozygous carrier status of the parents. Our findings expand the spectrum of causative mutations in AMDM.Publication Monoallelic and biallelic mutations in MAB21l2 cause a spectrum of major eye malformations(Cell Press, 2014-06-05) Rainger, Joe; Pehlivan, Davut; Johansson, Stefan; Bengani, Hemant; Sanchez-Pulido, Luis; Williamson, Kathleen A.; Ture, Mehmet; Barker, Heather; Rosendahl, Karen; Spranger, Juergen; Horn, Denise; Meynert, Alison; Floyd, James A.

Three mutational events altered the same amino acid (Arg51), and two were identical de novo mutations (c.151C>T [p.Arg51Cys]) in unrelated children with bilateral anophthalmia, intellectual disability, and rhizomelic skeletal dysplasia. c.152G>A (p.Arg51His) segregated with autosomal-dominant bilateral colobomatous microphthalmia in a large multiplex family. The fourth heterozygous mutation (c.145G>A [p.Glu49Lys]) affected an amino acid within two residues of Arg51 in an adult male with bilateral colobomata. In a fifth family, a homozygous mutation (c.740G>A [p.Arg247Gln]) altering a different region of the protein was identified in two male siblings with bilateral retinal colobomata. In mouse embryos, Mab21l2 showed strong expression in the developing eye, pharyngeal arches, and limb bud. As predicted by structural homology, wild-type MAB21L2 bound single-stranded RNA, whereas this activity was lost in all altered forms of the protein. MAB21L2 had no detectable nucleotidyltransferase activity in vitro, and its function remains unknown. Induced expression of wild-type MAB21L2 in human embryonic kidney 293 cells increased phospho-ERK (pERK1/2) signaling. Compared to the wild-type and p.Arg247Gln proteins, the proteins with the Glu49 and Arg51 variants had increased stability. Abnormal persistence of pERK1/2 signaling in MAB21L2-expressing cells during development is a plausible pathogenic mechanism for the heterozygous mutations. The phenotype associated with the homozygous mutation might be a consequence of complete loss of MAB21L2 RNA binding, although the cellular function of this interaction remains unknown.
