Dynamin 2 mutations cause sporadic centronuclear myopathy with neonatal onset

Abstract: We report four heterozygous dynamin 2 (DNM2) mutations in five centronuclear myopathy patients aged 1 to 15 years. They all presented with neonatal hypotonia with weak suckling. Thereafter, their phenotype progressively improved. All patients demonstrated muscle weakness prominent in the lower limbs, and most of them also presented with facial weakness, open mouth, arched palate, ptosis, and ophthalmoparesis. Electrophysiology showed only myopathic changes, and muscle biopsies showed central nuclei and type 1 … Show more

“…Multiple missense mutations within the DNM2 gene have been linked to autosomal-dominant CNMs (7,8,27,28). Interestingly, these mutations are heterozygous missense mutations or small deletions that do not affect DNM2 transcript levels, protein expression, or localization (8,28).…”

“…Among the strongly predicted targets of miR-133a is Dnm2 mRNA, encoding a large GTPase implicated in endocytosis, membrane trafficking, and regulation of the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons (11). Point mutations in the human DNM2 gene, thought to act in a dominant-negative manner, cause the autosomal-dominant form of CNM (7,8,27,28). The 3′ UTR of Dnm2 mRNA contains an evolutionarily conserved miR-133a binding site ( Figure 5A).…”

“…14 DNM2: Thirteen heterozygous missense changes or in-frame deletions or insertions have been reported with hotspots at position 368, 369, 465, 522, 618 and 619. 5,[15][16][17][18][19][20] In the middle domain, the recurrent p.R465W mutation is most common, likely accounting for B25% of families, whereas p.E368K and p.R369W are found in B20% and B10% of families, respectively. The PH domain mutation p.R522H is found in roughly 10% of families, whereas mutations of residues 618 and 619 account for about 15% of families.…”

“…The DNM2 molecule consists of five functional domains: an N-terminal catalytic domain; a so-called "middle domain" implicated in dynamin-dynamin interactions; a PH domain involved in phosphoinositide binding; a GTPase effector domain, which interacts with the catalytic domain and stimulates its GTPase activity; and a C-terminal proline/arginine-rich domain, which mediates interactions of dynamin with other proteins. Most of the currently known CNM-associated dynamin mutations are located in the middle and PH domains (4,13), but others have recently been identified in the GTPase effector domain (3,14).…”
