Abstract

The hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 is the key regulator in cellular adaptation to hypoxia. Acting through a complex pathway, interconnected with VHL and kinases, it regulates a large number of genes, such as those involved in erythropoiesis, glycolysis, pH regulation, and angiogenesis. Recently, a missense mutation [c.950C>G (p.Pro317Arg)] in the prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2) gene, whose encoded protein has HIF-1alpha as a substrate, provided evidence of the PHD2 role in a case of familial erythrocytosis. In this study, we looked for mutations in the PHD2 gene, in 74 patients with unidentified erythrocytosis. We found two heterozygous carriers of frameshift mutations [c.606delG (p.Met202IlefsX71) and c.840_841insA (p.Arg281ThrfsX3)]; both located in exon 1 and a heterozygous carrier of a nonsense mutation [c.1129C>T (p. Gln377X)] in exon 3. As a result of these mutations the encoded PHD2, if synthesized, would lose its catalytic activity. The genetic defects herein described are the first frameshift and nonsense mutations reported in the PHD2 gene and, as the previous missense mutation described, suggest that a decreased prolyl hydroxylase activity disturbing the oxygen-sensing pathway might be the cause of erythrocytosis. In addition to erythrocytosis, other complications, such as inflammatory arthromyalgia, have been observed in one case.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
