Remarks

Atypical; clinically affected; Portugese; atypical; fractured patella at age 10; decreased bone density; growth failure; poor secondary sexual development; chronic diarrhea; tired; graying hair; thin skin; loss of subcutaneous fat, particularly in legs; anorexia; high aminotransferase levels; some hepatomegaly; heart murmur; height = 151 cm at age 13 yr. This donor is heterozygous for a G-to-T substitution at nucleotide 813 (813G>T) in exon 2 of the LMNA gene, resulting in a missense mutation in codon 133 [ARG133LEU (R133L)].

Identified Mutation

ARG133LEU; In 2 unrelated persons in whom a diagnosis of Werner syndrome (277700) had been made but no mutation found in the Werner syndrome gene (RECQL2; 604611), Chen et al. (2003) found heterozygosity for the R1333L mutation in the LMNA gene. One was a white Portuguese female who presented at the age of 9 years with short stature. She showed scleroderma-like skin changes and graying/thinning of hair. Type 2 diabetes developed at the age of 23 years. Hypogonadism, osteoporosis, and voice changes were also present. The other patient was an African American female in whom the diagnosis of Werner syndrome was made at the age of 18 years. Scleroderma-like skin, short stature, graying/thinning of hair, and type 2 diabetes at the age of 18 years were features. The deceased father, paternal aunt, and paternal grandmother of this patient were also diagnosed with severe insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus, suggesting that the R133L mutation might have been paternally inherited.
