Outline of Final Research Achievements

1.We assessed that phenotype-genotype correlations in PIGO patients,and published to the journal of Human mutation.In this journal,we showed how the clinical severity of IGDs correlates with flow cytometric analysis of blood,functional analysis using a PIGO-deficient cell line,and the degree of hyperphosphatasia.The flow cytometric analysis and hyperphosphatasia are useful for IGD diagnosis,but the expression level of GPI-anchored proteins and the degree of hyperphosphatasia do not correlate,although functional studies do, with clinical severity.
2.In 10 IGD patients,serum alkaline phosphatase was examined.The results were that hyperphosphatasia was not always in individual cases.Then,flow cytometric analysis of blood was necessary in suspected IGD cases with normal range of alkaline phosphatase.
3.A study of pyridoxin therapy for 9 IGD patients was performed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

先天性GPI欠損症は、疾患概念が確立してから間もない神経難病である。また多数の原因遺伝子が存在するため、各遺伝子変異に対応する病型は今後も増える可能性がある。主症状が知的障害と運動発達遅滞、てんかんといった非特異的症状であるため、実際には多くの患者が診断されずに存在すると考えられる。そのため本疾患のスクリーニング検査や確定診断の方法、更には治療法の確立は非常に学術的意義、社会的意義が高いと考える。
