pubmed:abstractText |
Hypophosphatasia is a heritable disorder characterized by defective bone mineralization and a deficiency of liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase (L/B/K ALP) activity in serum and tissues. Severe forms of the disease, which are generally lethal in infancy, are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. The gene defects that produce hypophosphatasia are poorly understood, but many are likely to occur at the L/B/K ALP locus. To investigate these gene defects, we analyzed L/B/K ALP DNA, RNA, and enzyme activity in cultured dermal fibroblasts from 14 patients with perinatal or infantile hypophosphatasia and from 12 normal individuals. Southern blot analyses of the L/B/K ALP genes from patients and controls revealed identical restriction patterns. Control fibroblast ALP activity correlated with the corresponding L/B/K ALP mRNA levels estimated by blot hybridization analysis and densitometry (r = .94, P less than .0001). In contrast, fibroblasts from the hypophosphatasia patients were deficient in ALP enzyme activity but expressed apparently full-sized L/B/K ALP mRNA at normal levels. Bone specimens from one of the patients were examined and found to be deficient in histochemical ALP but contained immunologic cross-reactive material detected by anti-human liver ALP antiserum. Our results demonstrate that the deficiency of ALP activity in fibroblasts from 14 patients with severe hypophosphatasia is not due to decreased steady-state levels of the corresponding mRNA. The presence of enzymatically inactive L/B/K ALP protein in one of these patients is consistent with a point mutation or small in-frame deletion in the coding region of L/B/K ALP gene.
