Formas virilizantes simples de hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita: adaptación y validación prospectiva del cribado molecular de diagnóstico
Abstract
Background and objective Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is not an infrequent genetic disorder for which mutation-based analysis for CYP21A2 gene is a useful tool. Contrarily to salt-wasting forms the basic mutation screening accounts only for 83% of simple virilising (SV) phenotypes. Rare alleles with a local distribution not included in the basic panel may reduce its diagnostic accuracy. Our aim is to explore underlying prevalent mutations among our partially characterised SV forms and to evaluate their potential impact in the mutation screening. Patients and methods Preliminary study: CYP21A2 gene sequencing in 13 SV patients partially characterised. Retrospective targeted study: 2,097 DNA samples (561 patients) were re-analysed for p.R426H mutation. Prospective targeted study: incorporation of the p.R426H mutation to the initial exploration of CAH in 1,041 DNA samples to validate this extended screening. Results p.R426H mutation was detected in five patients in the preliminary analysis and in ten more during targeted studies. A frequency for this mutation was 0.71% in the whole group and 7.14% in SV forms. Associated haplotypes were identical thus suggesting a preferential dissemination. The observed phenotypes correlated and confirmed the moderate-to-severe effect on the enzymatic activity. Conclusions Our data relative to allelic frequency of the p.R426H mutation and its strong association to SV forms justify the incorporation of the p.R426H mutation into the basic screening panel because of the significant improvement in the initial characterization of affected patients, especially among those with SV forms. Two new cases detected remark the usefulness of this novel approach.

The p.(Arg426His) variant is described in Austrian and Spanish cohorts, where it consistently correlates with the salt-wasting phenotype and severe enzymatic impairment.
“The p.(Arg426His) variant demonstrates a similar founder pattern, described in Austrian and Spanish cohorts, where it consistently correlates with the salt-wasting phenotype and severe enzymatic impairment (41, 44).”

In a large Brazilian cohort, nine novel or rare variants were identified, several of which exhibited clear founder effects and shared haplotypes with Spanish and Portuguese patients.
“In a large Brazilian cohort, nine novel or rare variants were identified, several of which (p.(Arg408Cys), c.1450_1451insC, p.(His365Tyr), c.293-2C>G, p.(Gly424Ser) exhibited clear founder effects and shared haplotypes with Spanish and Portuguese patients, reflecting the historical Iberian contribution to Brazilian ancestry (22, 27, 40, 41).”

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.
