| Abstract: |
Hypomagnesemia 1, intestinal (HOMG1) is characterized by neurological symptoms that occur due to hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia and caused by mutations in the TRPM6. Most of the identified variants in TRPM6 lead to premature termination: nonsense, frameshift, deletion, and splice site mutations. Herein, we report a 1.5 month-old case who presented with convulsion due to hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia in the early infancy. Sequencing of TRPM6 revealed a novel homozygous synonymous variant [c.2538G > A (p.Thr846Thr)] in the last codon of exon 19, which is most likely to affect the splicing. We report a novel homozygous synonymous variant in the TRPM6 leading to HOMG1, expanding the mutational spectrum. Synonymous mutations that were previously considered as harmless should be evaluated at the nucleotide level, keeping in mind that they may affect splicing and cause to the disease.
