blind sterile (bs) is a spontaneous autosomal-recessive mouse mutation discovered
more than 30 years ago. Phenotypically, bs mice exhibit nuclear cataracts and
male infertility; genetic analyses assigned the bs locus to mouse chromosome 2.
In this study, we first positionally cloned the bs locus and identified a
putative causative mutation in the Tbc1d20 gene. Functional analysis established
the mouse TBC1D20 protein as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RAB1 and RAB2,
and bs as a TBC1D20 loss-of-function mutation. Evaluation of bs mouse embryonic
fibroblasts (mEFs) identified enlarged Golgi morphology and aberrant lipid
droplet (LD) formation. Based on the function of TBC1D20 as a RABGAP and the bs
cataract and testicular phenotypes, we hypothesized that mutations in TBC1D20 may
contribute to Warburg micro syndrome (WARBM); WARBM constitutes a spectrum of
disorders characterized by eye, brain, and endocrine abnormalities caused by
mutations in RAB3GAP1, RAB3GAP2, and RAB18. Sequence analysis of a cohort of 77
families affected by WARBM identified five distinct TBC1D20 loss-of-function
mutations, thereby establishing these mutations as causative of WARBM. Evaluation
of human fibroblasts deficient in TBC1D20 function identified aberrant LDs
similar to those identified in the bs mEFs. Additionally, our results show that
human fibroblasts deficient in RAB18 and RAB3GAP1 function also exhibit aberrant
LD formation. These findings collectively indicate that a defect in LD
formation/metabolism may be a common cellular abnormality associated with WARBM,
although it remains unclear whether abnormalities in LD metabolism are
contributing to WARBM disease pathology.
