BACKGROUND: Pycnodysostosis is an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia with easily recognizable clinical features and marked molecular heterogeneity. In this study, we explored the clinical and molecular spectrum of 25 Indian patients with pycnodysostosis from 20 families.
METHODS: Clinical information was collected on a predesigned clinical proforma. Sanger method was employed to sequence all the exons and exon/intron boundaries of the CTSK gene. Novel variants were systematically assessed by prediction softwares and protein modelling. The pathogenicity of variant was established based on ACMG-AMP criteria. An attempt was also made to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation and devise a diagnostic scoring system based on clinical and radiological findings.
RESULTS: Consanguinity and positive family history were present in 65% (13/20) and 45% (9/20) of the families respectively. Short stature and fractures were the predominant presenting complaints and was evident in 96% (24/25) and 32% (8/25) of affected individuals respectively. Gestalt facial phenotype and acro-osteolysis were present in 76% (19/25) and 82.6% (19/23) of the individuals respectively. Hepatosplenomegaly was present in 15% (3/20) of the individuals with one of them having severe anaemia. Causative sequence variations were identified in all of them. A total of 19 variants were identified from 20 families amongst which 10 were novel. Homozygous variants were identified in 90% (18/20) families. Amongst the novel variants, there was a considerable proportion (40%) of frameshift variants (4/10). No significant genotype-phenotype correlation was noted. Scoring based on clinical and radiological findings led to the proposal that a minimum of 2 scores in each category is required in addition to high bone density to diagnose pycnodysostosis with certainty.
CONCLUSION: This study delineated the genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of Indian patients with pycnodysostosis with identification of 10 novel variants. We also attempted to develop a clinically useful diagnostic scoring system which requires further validation.
