Polymorphisms of MRP1 (ABCC1) and related ATP-dependent drug transporters.
Pharmacogenet Genomics. 2005 Aug;15(8):523-33., [PMID:16006996]

Abstract [show]
Genetic variations in drug metabolizing enzymes and targets are established determinants of adverse drug reactions and interactions, but less is known about the role of genetic polymorphisms in membrane transport proteins. MRP1 (ABCC1) is one of 13 polytopic membrane proteins that comprise the 'C' subfamily of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transport proteins. MRP1 and related ABCC family members, including MRP2, 3, 4 and 5 (ABCC2, 3, 4 and 5), each have a distinctive pattern of tissue expression and substrate specificity. Together, these five transporters play important roles in the disposition and elimination of drugs and other organic anions, and in maintenance of blood-tissue barriers, as confirmed by enhanced chemosensitivity of respective knockout mice. Moreover, Mrp2 (Abcc2) deficient animals display mild conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, corresponding to a human condition known as Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS). Naturally occurring mutations in MRP/ABCC-related drug transporters have been reported, some of which are non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms. The consequences of the resulting amino acid changes can sometimes be predicted from in vitro site-directed mutagenesis studies or from knowledge of mutations of analogous (conserved) residues in ABCC proteins that cause DJS, Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (ABCC6), cystic fibrosis (CFTR/ABCC7) or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (SUR1/ABCC8). Continual updating of databases of sequence variants and haplotype analysis, together with in vitro biochemical validation assays and pharmacological studies in knockout animals, should make it possible to determine how genetic variation in the MRP-related transporters contributes to the range of responses to drugs and chemicals observed in different human populations.

A spectrum of ABCC6 mutations is responsible for pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
Am J Hum Genet. 2001 Oct;69(4):749-64. Epub 2001 Aug 31., [PMID:11536079]

Abstract [show]
To better understand the pathogenetics of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), we performed a mutational analysis of ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6) in 122 unrelated patients with PXE, the largest cohort of patients yet studied. Thirty-six mutations were characterized, and, among these, 28 were novel variants (for a total of 43 PXE mutations known to date). Twenty-one alleles were missense variants, six were small insertions or deletions, five were nonsense, two were alleles likely to result in aberrant mRNA splicing, and two were large deletions involving ABCC6. Although most mutations appeared to be unique variants, two disease-causing alleles occurred frequently in apparently unrelated individuals. R1141X was found in our patient cohort at a frequency of 18.8% and was preponderant in European patients. ABCC6del23-29 occurred at a frequency of 12.9% and was prevalent in patients from the United States. These results suggested that R1141X and ABCC6del23-29 might have been derived regionally from founder alleles. Putative disease-causing mutations were identified in approximately 64% of the 244 chromosomes studied, and 85.2% of the 122 patients were found to have at least one disease-causing allele. Our results suggest that a fraction of the undetected mutant alleles could be either genomic rearrangements or mutations occurring in noncoding regions of the ABCC6 gene. The distribution pattern of ABCC6 mutations revealed a cluster of disease-causing variants within exons encoding a large C-terminal cytoplasmic loop and in the C-terminal nucleotide-binding domain (NBD2). We discuss the potential structural and functional significance of this mutation pattern within the context of the complex relationship between the PXE phenotype and the function of ABCC6.

ABCC6/MRP6 mutations: further insight into the molecular pathology of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2003 Mar;11(3):215-24., [PMID:12673275]

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disease characterized by progressive dystrophic mineralization of the elastic fibres. PXE patients frequently present with skin lesions and visual acuity loss. Recently, we and others showed that PXE is caused by mutations in the ABCC6/MRP6 gene. However, the molecular pathology of PXE is complicated by yet unknown factors causing the variable clinical expression of the disease. In addition, the presence of ABCC6/MRP6 pseudogenes and multiple ABCC6/MRP6-associated deletions complicate interpretation of molecular genetic studies. In this study, we present the mutation spectrum of ABCC6/MRP6 in 59 PXE patients from the Netherlands. We detected 17 different mutations in 65 alleles. The majority of mutations occurred in the NBF1 (nucleotide binding fold) domain, in the eighth cytoplasmatic loop between the 15th and 16th transmembrane regions, and in NBF2 of the predicted ABCC6/MRP6 protein. The R1141X mutation was by far the most common mutation identified in 19 (32.2%) patients. The second most frequent mutation, an intragenic deletion from exon 23 to exon 29 in ABCC6/MRP6, was detected in 11 (18.6%) of the patients. Our data include 11 novel ABCC6/MRP6 mutations, as well as additional segregation data relevant to the molecular pathology of PXE in a limited number of patients and families. The consequences of our data for the molecular pathology of PXE are discussed.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: a clinical, histopathological, and molecular update.
Surv Ophthalmol. 2003 Jul-Aug;48(4):424-38., [PMID:12850230]

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is an autosomally inherited disorder that is associated with the accumulation of mineralized and fragmented elastic fibers in the skin, Bruch's membrane in the retina, and vessel walls. The ophthalmic and dermatologic expression of pseudoxanthoma elasticum and its vascular complications are heterogeneous, with considerable variation in phenotype, progression, and mode of inheritance. Using linkage analysis and mutation detection techniques, mutations in the ABCC6 gene were recently implicated in the etiology of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. ABCC6 encodes the sixth member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter and multidrug resistance protein family (MRP6). In humans, this transmembrane protein is highly expressed in the liver and kidney. Lower expression was found in tissues affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum, including skin, retina, and vessel walls. So far, the substrates transported by the ABCC6 protein and its physiological role in the etiology of pseudoxanthoma elasticum are not known. A functional transport study of rat MRP6 suggests that small peptides such as the endothelin receptor antagonist BQ123 are transported by MRP6. Similar molecules transported by ABCC6 in humans may be essential for extracellular matrix deposition or turnover of connective tissue at specific sites in the body. One of these sites is Bruch's membrane. This review is an update on etiology of pseudoxanthoma elasticum, including its clinical and genetic features, pathogenesis, and biomolecular basis.

Efficient molecular diagnostic strategy for ABCC6 in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
Genet Test. 2004 Fall;8(3):292-300., [PMID:15727254]

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disorder of connective tissue with skin, cardiovascular, and visual involvement. In familial cases, PXE usually segregates in an autosomal recessive fashion. The aim of this manuscript is to describe an efficient strategy for DNA diagnosis of PXE. The two most frequent mutations, R1141X and an ABCC6 del exons 23-29, as well as a core set of mutations, were identified by restriction enzyme digestion and size separation on agarose gels. Next, in the remaining patient group in which only one or no mutant allele was found, the complete coding sequence was analyzed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC). All variations found were confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. Finally, Southern blot was used to investigate the potential presence of small or large deletions. Twenty different mutations, including two novel mutations in the ABCC6 gene, were identified in 80.3% of the 76 patients, and 58.6% of the 152 ABCC6 alleles analyzed. With this strategy, 70 (78.7%) out of 89 mutant alleles could be detected within a week. We conclude that this strategy leads to both reliable and time-saving screening for mutations in the ABCC6 gene in sporadic cases and in families with PXE.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: a clinical, pathophysiological and genetic update including 11 novel ABCC6 mutations.
J Med Genet. 2005 Dec;42(12):881-92. Epub 2005 May 13., [PMID:15894595]

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an inherited systemic disease of connective tissue primarily affecting the skin, retina, and cardiovascular system. It is characterised pathologically by elastic fibre mineralisation and fragmentation (so called "elastorrhexia"), and clinically by high heterogeneity in age of onset and the extent and severity of organ system involvement. PXE was recently associated with mutations in the ABCC6 (ATP binding cassette subtype C number 6) gene. At least one ABCC6 mutation is found in about 80% of patients. These mutations are identifiable in most of the 31 ABCC6 exons and consist of missense, nonsense, frameshift mutations, or large deletions. No correlation between the nature or location of the mutations and phenotype severity has yet been established. Recent findings support exclusive recessive inheritance. The proposed prevalence of PXE is 1/25,000, but this is probably an underestimate. ABCC6 encodes the protein ABCC6 (also known as MRP6), a member of the large ATP dependent transmembrane transporter family that is expressed predominantly in the liver and kidneys, and only to a lesser extent in tissues affected by PXE. The physiological substrates of ABCC6 remain to be determined, but the current hypothesis is that PXE should be considered to be a metabolic disease with undetermined circulating molecules interacting with the synthesis, turnover, or maintenance of elastic fibres.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive disorder with considerable phenotypic variability, mainly affects the eyes, skin and cardiovascular system, characterised by dystrophic mineralization of connective tissues. It is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 (ATP binding cassette family C member 6) gene, which encodes MRP6 (multidrug resistance-associated protein 6). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mutation spectrum of ABCC6 and possible genotype-phenotype correlations. METHODS: Mutation data were collected on an international case series of 270 patients with PXE (239 probands, 31 affected family members). A denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography-based assay was developed to screen for mutations in all 31 exons, eliminating pseudogene coamplification. In 134 patients with a known phenotype and both mutations identified, genotype-phenotype correlations were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 316 mutant alleles in ABCC6, including 39 novel mutations, were identified in 239 probands. Mutations were found to cluster in exons 24 and 28, corresponding to the second nucleotide-binding fold and the last intracellular domain of the protein. Together with the recurrent R1141X and del23-29 mutations, these mutations accounted for 71.5% of the total individual mutations identified. Genotype-phenotype analysis failed to reveal a significant correlation between the types of mutations identified or their predicted effect on the expression of the protein and the age of onset and severity of the disease. CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasises the principal role of ABCC6 mutations in the pathogenesis of PXE, but the reasons for phenotypic variability remain to be explored.

Hum Mutat. 2008 Jan;29(1):205., [PMID:18157818]

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by ocular, cutaneous and cardiovascular manifestations. It is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene (chr. 16p13.1), encoding a transmembrane transporter protein, the substrate and biological function of which are currently unknown. A comprehensive clinical and molecular study of 38 Belgian PXE probands and 21 relatives (4 affected and 17 carriers) was performed. An extensive clinical evaluation protocol was implemented with serial fundus, skin and cardiovascular evaluation. We report on 14 novel mutations in the ABCC6 gene. We observed extensive variability in severity of both cutaneous and ocular lesions. The type of skin lesion however usually remained identical throughout the evolution of the disorder, while ophthalmological progression was mainly due to functional decline. Peripheral artery disease (53%) and stroke (15%) were significantly more prevalent than in the general population (10-30% and 0.3-0.5% respectively). Interestingly, we also observed a relatively high incidence of subclinical peripheral artery disease (41%) in our carrier population. We highlight the significance of peripheral artery disease and stroke in PXE patients as well as the subclinical manifestations in carriers. Through follow-up data we gained insight into the natural history of PXE. We propose a cost- and time-efficient two-step method of ABCC6 analysis which can be used in different populations. Additionally, we created a diagnostic flowchart and attempted to define the role of molecular analysis of ABCC6 in the work-up of a PXE patient.

Abstract [show]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an inherited disorder that is associated with accumulation of mineralized and fragmented elastic fibers in the skin, vessel walls, and Bruch's membrane. Clinically, patients exhibit characteristic lesions of the skin (soft, ivory-colored papules in a reticular pattern that predominantly affect the neck), the posterior segment of the eye (peau d'orange, angioid streaks, choroidal neovascularizations), and the cardiovascular system (peripheral arterial occlusive disease, coronary occlusion, gastrointestinal bleeding). There is no causal therapy. Recent studies suggest that PXE is inherited almost exclusively as an autosomal recessive trait. Its prevalence has been estimated to be 1:25,000-100,000. The ABCC6 gene on chromosome 16p13.1 is associated with the disease. Mutations within the ABCC6 gene cause reduced or absent transmembraneous transport that leads to accumulation of substrate and calcification of elastic fibers. Although based on clinical features the diagnosis appears readily possible, variability in phenotypic expressions and the low prevalence may be responsible that the disease is underdiagnosed. This review covers current knowledge of PXE and presents therapeutic approaches.

Added value of infrared, red-free and autofluorescence fundus imaging in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
Br J Ophthalmol. 2010 Apr;94(4):479-86. Epub 2009 Sep 1., [PMID:19726431]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene and primarily affects the oculocutaneous and cardiovascular systems. However, the phenotype, including the ophthalmological manifestations, varies in severity. The present study aims to evaluate the added value of novel funduscopic imaging techniques, such as near-infrared reflectance, red-free and autofluorescence imaging in PXE. METHODS: In 22 molecularly proven PXE patients and 25 obligate carriers, PXE retinopathy was evaluated using funduscopy, white light, red-free, infrared and autofluorescence imaging. RESULTS: At least one characteristic of PXE retinopathy was evident on funduscopy of all eyes. Angioid streaks could be subdivided in those with (brick red) or without (feathered) adjacent RPE alterations. Infrared imaging showed the brick-red-coloured streaks as well-demarcated dark fissures, even when these passed unnoticed on funduscopy. Feathered types were detected as triangular areas of hypoautofluorescence. The peau d'orange was much more visible and much more widespread on infrared imaging, with extension from the posterior pole towards the whole midperiphery. Comets and comet tails were best seen with red-free imaging. CONCLUSIONS: Infrared, red-free and autofluorescence imaging are more sensitive than white light funduscopy and imaging in visualising early retinal signs of PXE. In addition, this specialised imaging allows a better appreciation of the extent of lesions. Hence, such imaging increases the chances of making a correct diagnosis early, and aids in the accurate evaluation of evolution of disease in the ophthalmic follow-up of PXE patients.
