Lowe Syndrome (LS) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by renal dysfunction, cataracts, and several central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. The mechanisms underlying the neurological dysfunction in LS remain unclear, albeit they share some phenotypic characteristics similar to the deficiency or dysfunction of the Reelin signaling, a relevant pathway with roles in CNS development and neuronal functions. In this study, we investigated the role of OCRL1, an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase encoded by the gene, mutated in LS, focusing on its impact on endosomal trafficking and receptor recycling in human neuronal cells.

Background: Lowe syndrome is characterized by the presence of congenital cataracts, psychomotor retardation, and dysfunctional proximal renal tubules. This study presents a case of an atypical phenotype, investigates the genetic characteristics of eight children diagnosed with Lowe syndrome in southern China, and performs functional analysis of the novel variants.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing was conducted on eight individuals diagnosed with Lowe syndrome from three medical institutions in southern China.

Lowe syndrome, a rare X-linked multisystem disorder presenting with major abnormalities in the eyes, kidneys, and central nervous system, is caused by mutations in OCRL gene (NG_008638.1). Encoding an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, OCRL catalyzes the hydrolysis of PI(4,5)P2 into PI4P.

Oculocerebrorenal syndrome (Lowe syndrome) is a rare X-linked disorder affecting 1/500,000 males that most frequently affects the eyes, central nervous system, and kidneys. Phenotypic presentation includes congenital cataracts, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and Fanconi-type renal dysfunction. Lowe Syndrome is caused by hemizygous loss of function variants in the OCRL gene.
