BackgroundHyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome is an autosomal recessive inborn error of the urea cycle. It is caused by mutations in the SLC25A15 gene that codes the mitochondrial ornithine transporter. The aim of this study is to detect and identify the pathogenic SNPs in SLC25A15 gene through a combination set of bioinformatics tools and their effect on the structure and function of the protein.MethodsThe deleterious SNPs in SLC25A15 are detected by various bioinformatics tools, with addition to identifying their effects on the structure and function of this gene.Results20 deleterious SNPs out 287of were found to have their own damaging effects on the structure and function of the SLC25A15 gene.ConclusionThis study is the first in silico analysis of SLC25A15 using a selection of bioinformatics tools to detect functional and structural effects of deleterious SNPs. Finding the pathogenic SNPs is a promising start to innovate new, useful SNP diagnostic markers for medical testing and for safer novel therapies specifically targeting mutant SLC25A15.

Abstract:Background:The X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome (XHIGM) is a rare, inherited immune deficiency disorder. It is more common in males. Characterized by elevated serum IgM levels and low to undetectable levels of serum IgG, IgA and IgE. Hyper-IgM syndrome is caused by mutations in the CD40LG gene. Located in human Xq26. CD40LG acts as an immune modulator in activated T cells.Method:We used different bioinformatics tools to predict the effect of each SNP on the structure and function of the protein.Result:8 novel SNPs out of 233 were found to have most deleterious effect on the protein structure and function. While modeling of nsSNPs was studied by Project HOPE software.Conclusion:Better understanding of Hyper-IgM syndrome caused by mutations in CD40LG gene was achieved using in silico analysis. This is the first in silico functional analysis of CD40LG gene and 8 novel mutations were found using different bioinformatics tools, and they could be used as diagnostic markers for hyper-IgM syndrome. These 8 novel SNPs may be important candidates for the cause of different types of human diseases by CD40LG gene.
