Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to beta-glucosidase gene (GBA) mutations. The molecular diagnosis of GD is complicated by the presence of recombinant alleles originating from a highly homologous pseudogene. Clinical exome sequencing (CES) is a rapid genetic approach for identifying disease-causing mutations. However, copy number variation and recombination events are poorly detected, and further investigations are required to avoid mis-genotyping. The aim of this work was to set-up an integrated strategy for GD patients genotyping using CES as a first-line test. Eight patients diagnosed with GD were analyzed by CES. Five patients were fully genotyped, while three were revealed to be homozygous for mutations that were not confirmed in the parents. Therefore, MLPA (multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification) and specific long-range PCR were performed, and two recombinant alleles, one of them novel, and one large deletion were identified. Furthermore, an MLPA assay performed in one family resulted in the identification of an additional novel mutation (p.M124V) in a relative, in trans with the known p.N409S mutation. In conclusion, even though CES has become extensively used in clinical practice, our study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive molecular strategy to provide proper GBA genotyping and genetic counseling.

AbstractObjectivesGaucher disease (GD) is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disease, caused by mutations in acid β-glucosidase (GBA) gene. This study aimed to identify mutations in Andalusia patients with GD and their genotype-phenotype correlation.MethodsDescriptive observational study. University Hospital Virgen del Rocio patients diagnosed from GD from 1999 to 2019 were included. Demographic and clinical data, β-glucocerebrosidase activity, variants pathogenic in GBA gene and biomarkers for monitoring treatment were collected from digital medical record.ResultsTwenty-six patients with aged between 1 day and 52 years were studied. A total of six mutations described as pathogenic and one mutation not described above [c.937T>C (p.Tyr313His)] were identified in the GBA gene, four patients were homozygotes and 22 compound heterozygotes. Twenty-four patients were diagnosed in non-neuropathic form (type 1) and two cases presented neurological involvement (type 2 or 3). The most common variant was c.1226A>G (p.Asn409Ser), which was detected in 24 patients, followed by c.1448T>C (p.Leu483Pro) variant, identified in 13 patients. The c.1448T>C (p.Leu483Pro) mutation has been presented in the most severe phenotypes with neurological involvement associated with type 2 and 3 GD, while c.1226A>G (p.Asn409Ser) mutation has not been associated with neurological alterations. Splenomegaly and bone disease were the most frequent clinical manifestations, and thrombocytopenia was the most common hematological disorder.ConclusionsThe c.1226A>G (p.Asn409Ser) and c.1448T>C (p.Leu483Pro) mutations were the most common. The c.937T>C (p.Tyr313His) was identified as a novel mutation. The c.1448T>C (p.Leu483Pro) mutation was associated with neurological alterations and c.1226A>G (p.Asn409Ser) mutation has not been associated it.
