Defective hepatic bicarbonate production due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency leads to early-onset life-threatening metabolic crisis

Abstract: CAVA deficiency is a differential diagnosis of early-onset and life-threatening metabolic crisis, with hyperammonemia, hyperlactatemia, and ketonuria as apparently obligate signs. It seems to be more common than other rare metabolic diseases, and early identification may allow specific treatment of hyperammonemia and ultimately prevent neurologic sequelae.Genet Med 18 10, 991-1000.

“…The mutant enzyme was thermolabile with decreased activity at body temperature. Furthermore, the acute presentation of this IMD is amenable to carglumic acid, a synthetic N-acetyl glutamate analogue, and thus CA-VA deficiency expanded the differential diagnosis of treatable hyperammonemia in the neonate and young child (Diez-Fernandez et al 2016 ). In this case, elaborate pre-WES metabolic testing provided clues regarding the underlying etiology, facilitating a hypothesis driven prioritization of long variant lists generated by WES and subsequently validated by a functional analysis of the CA-VA enzyme.…”

“…Finally, regarding the identified homozygous deletion of the first two exons of the CA5A gene, this variant clearly destroys the normal gene function. 2 Absence of metabolic decompensation in this patient after birth could be the result of the early anabolic treatment that he likely received when born preterm at 26 weeks.…”

“…The patient received early and adequate therapeutic measures, which led to rapid normalization of the biochemical abnormalities. 2 Despite this, the patient died after developing severe intracranial hypertension, brain edema, and herniation.…”

“…A recent study conducted by Carmen, et al [14], found that defective hepatic bicarbonate production leads to hypoglycemia, elevated lactate level, metabolic acidosis and hyperammonemia, further confirming bicarbonate as a necessary requirement for hepatic glucose synthesis. Thus carbonic anhydrase must keep the [HCO3 -]/ [CO2] ratio constant.…”
