Identification of a Novel Mutation in the SEC23B Gene Associated With Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type II Through the Use of Next-generation Sequencing Panel in an Undiagnosed Case of Nonimmune Hereditary Hemolytic Anemia.
Confirmation of CDAII can subsequently be made based on clinical presentation together with either bone marrow examination or DNA sequencing of SEC23B.
The aim of this study was to characterize molecular genomic SEC23B defects in 16 unrelated patients affected by CDAII and correlate the identified genetic alterations with SEC23B transcript and protein levels in erythroid precursors.
We used a proteomic-genomic approach to identify SEC23B as the candidate gene for CDAII by matching the recently published data on the cytoplasmic proteome of human RBCs with the chromosomic localization of CDAN2 locus.
Three main types of CDA have been distinguished: CDA I and CDA III, whose loci have been already mapped, and CDA II (MIM 224100), the most frequent among CDAs, which is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and is known also as "HEMPAS" (hereditary erythroblast multinuclearity with positive acidified serum).
In humans, SEC23B deficiency results in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type-II (CDAII), while SEC23A deficiency results in a skeletal phenotype (with normal red blood cells).
After the identification of the locus for CDA II, also known as HEMPAS (hereditary erythroblast multinuclearity with positive acidified serum test), on the long arm of chromosome 20 (20q11.2) we have analyzed by a mutational search seven candidate genes in a large series of CDA II patients.
This review deals with clinical, diagnostic, and biochemical aspects of all characterized CDGs, including a disorder affecting the N-glycosylation of erythrocytes, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II (CDA II/HEMPAS), and the first disorders affecting O-glycosylation.
Type II congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA-II or HEMPAS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, representing the most frequent form of congenital dyserythropoiesis.
We previously reported that SEC23B-deficient mice die perinatally, exhibiting massive pancreatic degeneration and that mice with hematopoietic SEC23B deficiency do not exhibitCDAII.
