ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to determine prevalence and characterize sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene variants of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency in non-Hispanic white pediatric and young adult patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), and abnormal sucrase activity on histologically normal duodenal biopsy. METHODS: Clinical symptoms and disaccharidase activities data were collected for an abnormal (low) sucrase (≤25.8 U, n = 125) activity group, and 2 normal sucrase activity groups with moderate (≥25.8-≤55 U, n = 250) and high (>55 U, n = 250) sucrase activities. SI gene variants were detected by next-generation sequencing of DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of these patients. FGIDs symptoms based on Rome IV criteria and subsequent clinical management of abnormal sucrase activity cases with pathogenic SI gene variants were analyzed. RESULTS: Thirteen SI gene variants were found to be significantly higher in abnormal sucrase cases with FGIDs symptoms (36/125, 29%; 71% did not have a pathogenic variant) compared to moderate normal (16/250, 6.4%, P < 0.001) or high normal (5/250, 2.0%, P < 0.001) sucrase groups. Clinical management data were available in 26 of abnormal sucrase cases, and only 10 (38%) were correctly diagnosed and managed by the clinicians. Concomitant lactase deficiency (24%; 23/97) and pan-disaccharidase deficiency (25%; 13/51) were found in the abnormal sucrase group. CONCLUSIONS: Heterozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in the SI gene were more prevalent in cases with abnormal sucrase activity presenting with FGIDs, and normal histopathology. This suggests heterozygous pathogenic variants of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency may present as FGIDs. Concomitant lactase or pan-disaccharidase deficiencies were common in abnormal sucrase cases with SI gene variants.
