ABSTRACT
Mutations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are associated to the hereditary 1,25-dihydroxivitamin D-resistant rickets. The objectives of this work are search for mutations in the VDR and analyze their functional consequences in four Brazilian children presented with rickets and alopecia. The coding region of the VDR was amplified by PCR e direct sequenced. We identified three mutations two patients had the same mutation in exon 7 at aminoacid position 259 (p.Q259E); one patient had a mutation in exon 8 at codon 319 (p.G319V) and another one had a mutation in exon 3 leading to a truncated protein at position 73 (p.R73X). Functional studies of the mutant receptors of fibroblast primary culture, from patients' skin biopsy treated with increasing doses of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D showed that VDR mutants were unable to be properly activated and presented a reduction in 24-hydroxylase expression level.
RESUMO
Mutações no receptor de vitamina D (VDR) são associadas a raquitismo hereditário resistente a 1,25-dihidroxivitamina D. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram procurar mutações no VDR e analisar suas conseqüências funcionais em quatro pacientes com raquitismo e alopécia. A região codificadora do VDR foi amplificada por PCR e seqüenciada diretamente. Identificamos três mutações dois pacientes apresentavam a mesma mutação no éxon 7 na posição protéica 259 (p.Q259E); um paciente apresentava uma mutação no éxon 8 no códon 319 (p.G319V) e o outro apresentava uma mutação no exon 3 resultando em uma proteína truncada na posição 73 (p.R73X). O estudo funcional dos receptores mutados nos extratos de culturas de fibroblasto primárias obtidas de biópsia de pele dos pacientes, tratados com doses crescentes de 1,25(OH)2 vitamina D demonstraram que os receptores mutantes não apresentam ativação adequada apresentando expressão reduzida de 24-hidroxilase.
