Added comment: 5 patients from 3 unrelated families, with homozygous missense mutations in the PIGU gene. All individuals presented with global DD, severe-to-profound ID, muscular hypotonia, seizures, brain anomalies, scoliosis, and mild facial dysmorphism. Flow cytometric analysis of patient granulocytes showed a characteristic pattern, with reduced cell surface expression of CD16 and CD24. In addition, patient B cells showed increased expression of free GPI anchors determined by a specific antibody, T5. The findings suggested that PIGU mutations reduce the function of the GPI transamidase complex, leading to accumulation of free GPI anchors on the cell surface.
