SGPL1 deficiency leads to accumulation of sphingolipid species and downregulation of key enzymes within the steroidogenic pathway

Maharaj Avinaash , Williams Jack , Guran Tulay , Braslavsky Debora , Casas Josefina , Metherell Louise , Prasad Rathi

Background: SGPL1 carries out the final degradative step of the sphingolipid pathway, irreversible cleavage of sphingosine-1-phopshate. SGPL1 deficiency is associated with a pathological accumulation of sphingolipid species and a multi-systemic condition incorporating primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Sphingolipid intermediates, ceramide and sphingosine are postulated to act as modulators of the steroidogenic pathway, acting as second messengers altering downstream expressi...

Mutations in SGPL1, encoding sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase, cause a novel form of primary adrenal insufficiency with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome

Background: Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is most commonly congenital in children. PAI is genetically heterogeneous with some gene defects causing syndromic disease. A third of patients have no genetic diagnosis rendering their prognosis uncertain. We investigated families with a novel combination of PAI and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome.Objective and hypotheses: To discover the genetic defect underlying this syndrome....

Background: Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is most commonly congenital in children. PAI is genetically heterogeneous with some gene defects causing syndromic disease. A third of patients have no genetic diagnosis meaning their prognosis is uncertain. We recently investigated families with a novel combination of PAI and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome.Objective and hypotheses: To discover the genetic defect underlying this syndrome.<p class=...
