Genes affected

KYNU (HGNC:6469): (kynureninase) Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

This variant was discovered in a North American family. The patient presented multiple congenital malformations affecting vertebrae, heart, kidney among others. This variant is a protein truncating variant and extremely rare (ExAC MAF 0.0001419). The patient is compound heterzygous for this variant and another protein truncating variant in the same KYNU gene (NM_003937.2:c.1045_1051delTTTAAGC). Her unaffected parents are heterzygous for only one variant. Enzyme assay confirmed that the protein product of this gene variant has lost enzyme activity. Mouse embryos homozygous null for Kynu presented similar phenotype as observed in the patient, and also showed reduced concentration of NAD in the embryonic tissue. -
