摘要

目的 探讨2例单纯型甘油激酶缺乏症（GKD）患儿的临床表型和基因变异，以提高临床医师对该病的认识。方法 收集2018年3月至2023年12月入院的2例单纯型GKD患儿的临床及基因检查资料，分析其临床特征和基因变异特点。结果 2例患儿均为男性，患儿1就诊时年龄为6岁7个月，表现为阵发性恶心呕吐，伴腹痛、纳差、精神差，存在反复低血糖、代谢性酸中毒、血中酮体和三酰甘油升高、尿中酮体、甘油浓度增高；患儿2就诊时年龄为3个月，出生后窒息、抽搐、昏迷、喂养困难，评估脑损伤住院治疗，发现血甘油三酯升高、尿甘油浓度增高。全外显子组基因检测发现患儿1的GK基因15号外显子存在1个c.1145C>T(p.A382V)半合子变异；患儿2的GK基因6号外显子存在1个c.422C>G(p.T141R)半合子变异，Sanger测序证实c.1145C>T和c.422C>G变异均来自表型正常的母亲，均被评级为临床意义未明，既往未见报道。结论 单纯型GKD急性期表现缺乏特异性，血三酰甘油三酯和尿甘油浓度增高有助于诊断，确诊依赖于GK基因检测。

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and genetic variations of two children with isolation glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD), fthereby enhancing clinicians' understanding of this the disease. Methods Clinical and genetic data were collected from two pediatric patients with isolated GKD admitted between March 2018 and December 2023.Their clinical manifestations and genetic variation profiles were analyzed systematically. Results Both patients were male. Patient 1 aged 6 years and 7 months, exhibited paroxysmal nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia, and lethargy. Laboratory findings revealed recurrent hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, elevated blood ketone bodies and triglycerides, as well as increased urinary ketone bodies and glycerol concentrations. Patient 2 aged 3 months,experienced asphyxia, seizures, coma, and feeding difficulties shortly after birth, leading to hospitalization for brain injury assessment. Elevated blood triglycerides and increased urinary glycerol concentrations were detected.. The whole exon gene detection showed that there was a hemizygous variation c.1145C>T (p.A382V) in Exon 15 of GK gene in patient 1, and a hemizygous variation c.422C>G (p.T141R) in Exon 6 of GK gene in patient 2. Sanger sequencing confirmed that both the c.1145C>T and c.422C>G variants were from phenotypically normal mothers and classified as variants of uncertain significance according to the ACMG guidelines, with no prior reports. Conclusion The acute-phase symptoms of isolated GKD lack specificity. Elevated blood triglycerides and urinary glycerol concentrations can aid in diagnosis, while definitive diagnosis relies on GK gene testing.
