Here we report that mutations in the TRPV4 gene cause congenital distal SMA, scapuloperoneal SMA, HMSN 2C. We identified three missense substitutions (R269H, R315W and R316C) affecting the intracellular N-terminal ankyrin domain of the TRPV4 ion channel in five families. Expression of mutant TRPV4 constructs in cells from the HeLa line revealed diminished surface localization of mutant proteins. In addition, TRPV4-regulated Ca(2+) influx was substantially reduced even after stimulation with 4alphaPDD, a TRPV4 channel-specific agonist, and with hypo-osmotic solution. In summary, we describe a new hereditary channelopathy caused by mutations in TRPV4 and present evidence that the resulting substitutions in the N-terminal ankyrin domain affect channel maturation, leading to reduced surface expression of functional TRPV4 channels.|*Ankyrin Repeat[MESH]|Amino Acid Substitution/genetics[MESH]|Calcium/metabolism[MESH]|HeLa Cells[MESH]|Hereditary Sensory and Motor Neuropathy/complications/*genetics/physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunohistochemistry[MESH]|Intracellular Space/metabolism[MESH]|Ion Channel Gating[MESH]|Models, Molecular[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Muscular Atrophy, Spinal/complications/*congenital/*genetics/physiopathology[MESH]|Mutant Proteins/metabolism[MESH]|Mutation/*genetics[MESH]|Osmosis[MESH]|TRPV Cation Channels/*chemistry/*genetics[MESH]|Transfection[MESH] |
