Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome type 4 in three unrelated South African patients. Bezuidenhout, H., Bayley, S., Smit, L., Kinnear, C., Möller, M., Uren, C., & Urban, M. F. American Journal of Medical Genetics. Part A, 182(10):2230–2235, October, 2020. doi abstract bibtex Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in genes involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol metabolism that result in a similar phenotype. We describe the first three patients with HPMRS from sub-Saharan Africa. Detection was assisted by Face2Gene phenotype matching and confirmed by the presence of elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. All three patients had severe intellectual disability, absent speech, hypotonia and palatal abnormality (cleft palate in two, very high-arched palate in one), no or minimal brachytelephalangy, and high serum alkaline phosphatase levels. Additional findings included seizures in two, and brain imaging abnormalities in two. In all three patients HPMRS was a top-20 gestalt match using Face2Gene. The overall phenotype is consistent with descriptions in the literature of HPMRS type 4, although not specific to it. Whole exome sequencing in the index patient and his mother detected a candidate variant in a homozygous state in the index patient (PGAP3:c.557G\textgreaterC, p.Arg186Thr) and heterozygous in the mother. Further variant interpretation indicated pathogenicity. Sanger sequencing of another two patients identified the same homozygous, pathogenic variant, confirming a diagnosis of HPMRS type 4. The shared homozygous variant in apparently unrelated families, and in the absence of consanguinity, suggests the possibility of genetic drift due to a population bottleneck effect, and further research is recommended.
