Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) deficiency is the most common form of congenital myasthenic syndrome and in most cases results from mutations within the coding region of the AChR epsilon subunit. However, studies in mice have established that synapse-specific expression of AChR is dependent on a sequence contained within the AChR-subunit promoter regions, termed an N-box. We describe a consanguineous family in which 2 of 7 siblings had clinical and electromyographic features consistent with AChR deficiency. Muscle biopsy demonstrated low AChR numbers, establishing the disorder as postsynaptic. Single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis identified an abnormal conformer in the AChR epsilon-subunit gene promoter of the patients. DNA sequence and restriction endonuclease analysis shows that the disorder cosegregates with recessive inheritance of a single point mutation, a transition (C-->T) in the N-box of the epsilon-subunit promoter. Analysis of an intercostal biopsy from 1 of the patients showed a dramatic reduction in epsilon-subunit mRNA levels compared with disease and normal controls. This is the first evidence in humans that an N-box mutation can lead to disruption of epsilon-subunit transcription, resulting in the loss of adult AChR synthesis and the clinical phenotype of AChR-deficiency congenital myasthenic syndrome."xsd:string |
