Presence and significance of a R110W mutation in the DNA-binding domain of GCM2 gene in patients with isolated hypoparathyroidism and their family members

Abstract: Objective: Glial cells missing 2 (GCM2) gene encodes a parathyroid-specific transcription factor. We assessed GCM2 gene sequence in patients with isolated hypoparathyroidism (IH). Design: Case-control study. Methods: Complete DNA sequencing of the GCM2 gene including its exons, promoter, and 5 0 and 3 0UTRs was performed in 24/101 patients with IH. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect a novel R110W mutation in all 101 IH patients and 655 healthy controls. Significance of the mutation… Show more

“…The low prevalence of the CaSRAbs in hypoparathyroidism could be due to the lack of a sensitive CaSRAb assay for epitopes not measured in the present study. Alternatively, it could reflect heterogeneity in the etiology of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism as indicated by GCM2 mutations, NALP5Ab (7,14), and an occasional PTH gene mutation in these patients. …”

“…Cases included 147 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism attending the endocrine clinics of our tertiary care center during 1998 -2011 (5,7,10,14). Three of these had APECED syndrome (14).…”

“…4 GCM2 mutations can be associated with autosomal recessive and dominant forms of isolated hypoparathyroidism. [62][63][64][65][66][67][68] Furthermore, mutations in GNA11, the gene encoding Gα11, one of the signaling proteins at the calcium-sensing receptor, were recently shown to cause an autosomal dominant form of hypoparathyroidism. 69,70 Lastly, FAM111A mutations have been identified in patients with hypoparathyroidism associated with impaired skeletal development in the context of KennyCaffey syndrome type 2.…”
