Characterization of Genetic Variants of Uncertain Significance for the ALPL Gene in Patients With Adult Hypophosphatasia

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) a rare disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase protein (TNSALP), has been identified as a potentially under-diagnosed condition worldwide which may have higher prevalence than currently established. This is largely due t...

Zusammenfassung:Hypophosphatasia (HPP) a rare disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase protein (TNSALP), has been identified as a potentially under-diagnosed condition worldwide which may have higher prevalence than currently established. This is largely due to the overlapping of its symptomatology with that of other more frequent pathologies. Although HPP is usually associated with deficient bone mineralization, the high genetic variability of results in high clinical heterogeneity, which makes it difficult to establish a specific HPP symptomatology. In the present study, three variants of gene with uncertain significance and no previously described (p.Del Glu23_Lys24, p.Pro292Leu and p.His379Asn) were identified in heterozygosis in patients diagnosed with HPP. These variants were characterized at phenotypic, functional and structural levels. All genetic variants showed significantly lower ALP activity than the wild-type (WT) genotype ( -value
