BACKGROUND: Bartter syndrome type 1, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is caused by pathogenic loss-of-function variants in the SLC12A1 gene. It is characterized by metabolic alkalosis and prenatal-onset polyuria leading to polyhydramnios.
METHODS: We identified pathogenic gene in a 12-day-old newborn boy with Bartter syndrome type 1 using whole-exome sequencing. Sanger sequencing validated the identified variants. A minigene assay was performed to investigate the effect of a novel splice site variant on pre-mRNA splicing.
RESULTS: We found a compound heterozygous variants in the SLC12A1 gene, consisting of a known pathogenic missense mutation (NM_000338: c.769 G>A; p.Gly257Ser) and a novel splice site variant (c.1684+1 G>A). In silico predictions and an in vitro minigene splicing assay demonstrated that the splicing variant c.1684+1 G>A abolished a consensus splice donor site of SLC12A1 intron 13, resulting in complete exon 13 skipping, translational frameshift, and premature termination codon, ultimately leading to loss of SLC12A1 function.
CONCLUSION: Using a cell-based in vitro assay, we revealed the aberrant effect of the pathogenic splicing variant SLC12A1 c.1684+1 G>A on pre-mRNA splicing. Our findings expand the gene mutation spectrum of Bartter syndrome type 1, providing a basis for genetic diagnosis and the development of genetic medicines.
