A novel nonsense variant in SLC24A4 causing a rare form of amelogenesis imperfecta in a Pakistani family.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a highly heterogeneous group of hereditary developmental abnormalities which mainly affects the dental enamel during tooth development in terms of its thickness, structure, and composition. It appears both in syndromic as well as non-syndromic forms. In the affected individuals, the enamel is usually thin, soft, rough, brittle, pitted, chipped, and abraded, having reduced functional ability and aesthetics. It leads to severe complications in the patient, like early tooth loss, severe discomfort, pain, dental caries, chewing difficulties, and discoloration of teeth from yellow to yellowish-brown or creamy type. The study aimed to identify the disease-causing variant in a consanguineous family. METHODS:We recruited a consanguineous Pashtun family of Pakistani origin. Exome sequencing analysis was followed by Sanger sequencing to identify the pathogenic variant in this family. RESULTS:Clinical analysis revealed hypomaturation AI having generalized yellow-brown or creamy type of discoloration in affected members. We identified a novel nonsense sequence variant c.1192C > T (p.Gln398*) in exon-12 of SLC24A4 by using exome sequencing. Later, its co-segregation within the family was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The human gene mutation database (HGMD, 2019) has a record of five pathogenic variants in SLC24A4, causing AI phenotype. CONCLUSION:This nonsense sequence variant c.1192C > T (p.Gln398*) is the sixth disease-causing variant in SLC24A4, which extends its mutation spectrum and confirms the role of this gene in the morphogenesis of human tooth enamel. The identified variant highlights the critical role of SLC24A4 in causing a rare AI type in humans.
