Mucolipidosis (ML) III gamma is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the GNPTG gene. GNPTG encodes the γ-subunit of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase that catalyzes mannose 6-phosphate targeting signal synthesis on soluble lysosomal enzymes. ML III gamma patients are characterized by missorting of lysosomal enzymes. In this report, we describe the probable occurrence of mRNA editing in two ML III gamma patients. Patients A and B (siblings) presented at the adult age with a typical clinical picture of ML III gamma, mainly compromising bone and joints, and high levels of lysosomal enzymes in plasma and low levels in fibroblasts. Both were found to be homozygous for c.-112C>G and c.328G>T (p.Glu110Ter) mutations in genomic DNA (gDNA) analysis of GNPTG. Analysis of complementary DNA (cDNA), however, showed normal genotypes for both patients. Low GNPTG mRNA expression was observed in both patients. The mRNA editing can explain the differences found in patients A and B regarding gDNA and cDNA analysis, and the mild clinical phenotype associated with homozygosity for a nonsense mutation. Our results suggest that mRNA editing can be more frequent than expected in monogenic disorders and that GNPTG analysis should be performed on gDNA.
