BACKGROUND: Citrullinemia type 1 (CTLN1) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) deficiency. Manifestations vary from the acute neonatal or "classic" form to a milder, late-onset, or "unconventional" form. To date, more than 93 variants in the ASS1 gene located on chromosome 9q43.11 (OMIM #215700) are reportedly responsible for CTLN1. Their incidence and distribution vary according to geographic origins and ethnicity, and a correlation, although not clearly delineated, has been established between the genotype and the phenotype of the disease. Though, in the Middle East, national descriptions of CTLN1 are still lacking.
METHODS: A total of ten unrelated Middle Eastern families, five Lebanese, two Syrians, and three Iraqis with citrullinemia index cases, were included in this study. Upon informed consent, DNA was extracted from the whole blood of the index patients as well as their parents and siblings. Genetic analysis was carried out by Sanger sequencing of the ASS1 gene.
RESULTS: Seven different variants were identified. Two novel variants, c.286C>A (p.(Pro96Thr), RNA not analyzed) in exon 5 and deletion c.685_688+6del(p.(Lys229Glyfs*4), RNA not analyzed) in exon 10, were found in one Lebanese and one Syrian family, respectively, and were correlated with early-onset and severe clinical presentation. Five other known variants: c.535T>C (p.(Trp179Arg), RNA not analyzed) in exon 8, c.787G>A (p.(Val263Met), RNA not analyzed) in exon 12, c.847G>A (p.(Glu283Lys), RNA not analyzed) in exon 13, c.910C>T (p.(Arg304Trp), RNA not analyzed) in exon 13, and c.1168G>A (p.(Gly390Arg), RNA not analyzed) in exon 15, were found in Lebanese, Syrian, and Iraqi families, and were associated with diverse clinical presentations.
CONCLUSION: Two novel variants and five known variants were found in a total of ten unrelated Middle Eastern families.
