OBJECTIVE: Couples at risk of severe congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) may be offered prenatal treatment or preimplantation diagnosis. However, proper genetic counselling requires the accurate identification of apparently 'mild alleles' in partners of CAH-carriers/patients. METHODS: CYP21A2 gene analyses were performed in 255 patients with severe 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), 94 with mild 21-OHD, 752 parental samples, 233 clinically unaffected partners and 253 historic DNA samples. GENSCAN and ClustalX2.0 software were used for in silico analyses, and Epidat 3.1 software for statistical calculations. RESULTS: Twenty-seven partners were carriers of p.Val282Leu (alias p.Val281Leu, allele frequency 11.7%, 7.4-16.1). 'Val282Leu alleles' were detected in 30 patients with salt-wasting (SW) disease, 21 with other pseudogene-derived and rare coding cis severe mutations, and 9 without. These CYP21A2 genes were compared to those of 94 fully characterized patients with mild deficiency carrying p.Val282Leu in compound heterozygosity with a severe allele. A rare intronic variant, c.292+5G>A, was detected in the nine 'severe Val282Leu alleles' and that was not seen in mild p.Val282Leu alleles, in other deficient alleles or in normal chromosomes. The in silico documented effect on splicing and the clinical association (p < 0.0001) confirmed p.Val282Leu; c.292+5G>A as a severe allele. CONCLUSION: As only severe alleles require clinical intervention, CAH-carrier detection of p.Val282Leu should be followed by the analysis of c.292+5G>A. |
