Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) represent a wide range of >140 inherited metabolic diseases, continually expanding not only with regards to the number of newly identified causative genes, but also the heterogeneity of the clinical and molecular presentations within each subtype. The deficiency of ATP6AP1, an accessory subunit of the vacuolar H+‐ATPase, is a recently characterized N‐ and O‐glycosylation defect manifesting with immunodeficiency, hepatopathy and cognitive impairment. At the cellular level, the latest studies demonstrate a complex disturbance of metabolomics involving peroxisomal function and lipid homeostasis in the patients. Our study delineates a case of two severely affected siblings with a new hemizygous variant c.221 T > C (p.L74P) in ATP6AP1 gene, who both died due to liver failure before reaching 1 year of age. We bring novel pathobiochemical observations including the finding of increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cultured fibroblasts from the older boy, a striking copper accumulation in his liver, as well as describe the impact of the mutation on the protein in different organs, showing a tissue‐specific pattern of ATP6AP1 level and its posttranslational modification.Keywords
