Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia types Ib, II, and III: novel variants in the CDIN1 gene and functional study of a novel variant in the KIF23 gene

Abstract

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDA) are disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and morphological anomalies in erythrocytes and erythroblasts. The purpose of this study is to identify the gene variants in patients diagnosed with CDA. We analyzed five unrelated patients and two siblings with a targeted panel of genes to CDA: CDAN1, CDIN1, SEC23B, KIF23, KLF1, and GATA1 genes. We found three novel variants in the CDIN1 gene (p.Leu136Val, p.Tyr247Cys, and p.Ile273Thr), four known variants in the SEC23B gene (p.Arg14Trp, p.Arg554Ter, p.Asp239Gly, and p.Ser436Leu), and one novel variant in the KIF23 gene (p.Leu945Trpfs*31). The in silico analysis of novel variants predict that they are pathogenic and, the in vitro study confirms the functional impact of the KIF23 variant on the protein location.
