G6PC3 deficiency is a monogenic immunometabolic disorder that causes severe congenital neutropenia type 4. Patients display heterogeneous extra-hematological manifestations, contributing to delayed diagnosis. Here, we investigated the origin and functional consequence of the G6PC3 c.210delC variant found in patients of Mexican descent. Based on the shared haplotypes amongst mutation carriers, we estimated that this variant originated from a founder effect in a common ancestor. Furthermore, by ancestry analysis, we concluded that it appeared in the indigenous Mexican population. At the protein level, we showed that this frameshift mutation leads to an aberrant protein expression in overexpression and patient-derived Epstein-Barr Virus-immortalized B (EBV-B) cells. The neutropenia observed in G6PC3-deficient patients is driven by the intracellular accumulation of the metabolite 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P) that inhibits glycolysis. We characterized how the c.210delC variant impacts glycolysis by performing extracellular flux assays on patient-derived EBV-B cells. When treated with 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), the precursor to 1,5-AG6P, patient cells exhibited markedly reduced engagement of glycolysis. Finally, we compared the clinical presentation of patients with the mutation c.210delC and all other G6PC3-deficient patients reported in the literature, and we found that the c.210delC carriers display all prominent clinical features observed in prior patients. In conclusion, G6PC3 c.210delC is a loss-of-function mutation that arose from a founder effect in the indigenous Mexican population. These findings may facilitate the diagnosis of additional patients in this geographical area. Moreover, the in vitro 1,5-AG-dependent functional assay used in our study could be employed to assess the pathogenicity of additional G6PC3 variants.

G6PC3 deficiency is a monogenic immunometabolic disorder that causes syndromic congenital neutropenia. Patients display heterogeneous extra-hematological manifestations, contributing to delayed diagnosis. Here, we investigated the origin and functional consequence of the G6PC3 c.210delC variant found in patients of Mexican origin. Based on the shared haplotypes amongst carriers of the c.210delC mutation, we estimated that this variant originated from a founder effect in a common ancestor. Furthermore, by ancestry analysis, we concluded that it originated in the indigenous Mexican population. At the protein level, we showed that this frameshift mutation leads to an aberrant protein expression in overexpression and patient-derived cells. G6PC3 pathology is driven by the intracellular accumulation of the metabolite 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P) that inhibits glycolysis. We characterized how the variant c.210delC impacts glycolysis by performing extracellular flux assays on patient-derived cells. When treated with 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), the precursor to 1,5-AG6P, patient-derived cells exhibited markedly reduced engagement of glycolysis. Finally, we compared the clinical presentation of patients with the mutation c.210delC and all other G6PC3 deficient patients reported in the literature to date, and we found that c.210delC carriers display all prominent clinical features observed in prior G6PC3 deficient patients. In conclusion, G6PC3 c.210delC is a loss-of-function mutation that arose from a founder effect in the indigenous Mexican population. These findings may facilitate the diagnosis of additional patients in this geographical area. Moreover, the in vitro 1,5-AG-dependent functional assay used in our study could be employed to assess the pathogenicity of additional G6PC3 variants.
