De Novo Mutations in SLC25A24 Cause a Disorder Characterized by Early Aging, Bone Dysplasia, Characteristic Face, and Early Demise

Abstract: A series of simplex cases have been reported under various diagnoses sharing early aging, especially evident in congenitally decreased subcutaneous fat tissue and sparse hair, bone dysplasia of the skull and fingers, a distinctive facial gestalt, and prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. For historical reasons, we suggest naming the entity Fontaine syndrome. Exome sequencing of four unrelated affected individuals showed that all carried the de novo missense variant c.649C>T (p.Arg217Cys) or c.650G>A (p.Ar… Show more

“…49,[52][53][54] In the accompanying article in this issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, Writzl et al report the same c.650G>A and c.649C>T mutations in SLC25A24 but in association with Petty-type congenital progeroid syndrome, referred to as Fontaine syndrome. 55 Both phenotypes show overlapping clinical features (such as growth retardation, craniosynostosis, reduced subcutaneous fat, and small distal phalanges) but differ in some facial characteristics. The most striking difference is the early demise in Fontaine syndrome and a mostly normal lifespan in GCMS.…”

“…Other features observed were severe midface hypoplasia, body and facial hypertrichosis, microphthalmia, short stature, short distal phalanges, lipoatrophy, and cutis laxa [Ehmke et al, 2017]. The same mutations were also identified in 4 cases with Fontaine syndrome (OMIM 612289), 2 of them had craniosynostosis [Writzl et al, 2017]. Ehmke et al [2017] assume that the mutations influence the formation or opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore leading to an increased sensitivity of the mitochondria to oxidative stress.…”

“…A 3'UTR SNP was identified in a gene coding for SLC25A24. Mice fed a high-fat diet exhibited increased expression level of SLC25A24; whereas, adipocyte differentiation was suppressed in Slc25a24-knockout [85].…”
