BackgroundPrimary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a monogenic disorder characterized by bilateral calcifications in the brain. The genetic basis remains unknown in over half of the PFBC patients, indicating the existence of additional novel causative genes. NAA60 was a recently reported novel causative gene for PFBC.ObjectiveThe aim was to identify the probable novel causative gene in an autosomal recessive inherited PFBC family.MethodsWe performed a comprehensive genetic study on a consanguineous Chinese family with 3 siblings diagnosed with PFBC. We evaluated the effect of the variant in a probable novel causative gene on the protein level using Western blot, immunofluorescence, and coimmunoprecipitation. Possible downstream pathogenic mechanisms were further explored in gene knockout (KO) cell lines and animal models.ResultsWe identified a PFBC co‐segregated homozygous variant of c.460_461del (p.D154Lfs*113) in NAA60 . Functional assays showed that this variant disrupts NAA60 protein localization to Golgi and accelerated protein degradation. The mutant NAA60 protein alters its interaction with the PFBC‐related proteins PiT2 and XPR1, affecting intracellular phosphate homeostasis. Further mass spectrometry analysis in NAA60 KO cell lines revealed decreased expression of multiple brain calcification–associated proteins, including reduced folate carrier (RFC), a folate metabolism–related protein.ConclusionsOur study replicated the identification of NAA60 as a novel causative gene for autosomal recessive PFBC, demonstrating our causative variant leads to NAA60 loss of function. The NAA60 loss of function disrupts not only PFBC‐related proteins (eg, PiT2 and XPR1) but also a wide range of other brain calcification–associated membrane protein substrates (eg, RFC), and provided a novel probable pathogenic mechanism for PFBC. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
