PURPOSE: Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the WRN gene, and it is characterized by multiple manifestations corresponding to early-onset aging. This study reports the case of a WS patient with a novel WRN mutation.
PATIENT AND METHODS: A 36-year-old male patient with WS was evaluated after approval from the local ethics committee. The clinical and biochemical findings of the patient were described. Peripheral blood sample was collected to extract genomic DNA for WRN gene exome sequencing. The three-dimensional (3D) protein structural prediction analysis was performed via the AlphaFold 2.2 program and PyMol software.
RESULTS: We report the case of a clinically diagnosed WS patient with consanguineous parents who presented with complex manifestations including early-onset diabetes mellitus, binocular cataracts, cerebral infarction, cerebral atherosclerosis, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, and suspected meningioma, accompanied by short stature, gray hair, rough skin with subcutaneous fat atrophy, a high-pitched voice, palmoplantar keratoderma, bilateral flat feet, and an indolent deep ulceration on the foot. Exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in the WRN gene, c.666-669 del TATT, p.I223fs. The 3D structure prediction showed that premature termination and significant structural changes could occur in the mutant WRN protein.
CONCLUSION: We identified a novel homozygous frameshift mutation, p.I223fs, in WRN in a Chinese patient with WS, expanding the spectrum of mutations in WS.
