    Abstract:
    Serum phosphate concentration is regulated by renal phosphate reabsorption and mediated by sodium-phosphate cotransporters. Germline mutations in genes encoding these cotransporters have been associated with clinical phenotypes, variably characterized by hyperphosphaturia, hypophosphatemia, recurrent kidney stones, skeletal demineralization, and early onset osteoporosis. We reported a 33-year-old male patient presenting a history of recurrent nephrolithiasis and early onset osteopenia in the lumbar spine and femur. He was tested, through next generation sequencing (NGS), by using a customized multigenic panel containing 33 genes, whose mutations are known to be responsible for the development of congenital parathyroid diseases. Two further genes, SLC34A1 and SLC34A3, encoding two sodium-phosphate cotransporters, were additionally tested. A novel germline heterozygous mutation was identified in the SLC34A1 gene, c.1627G>T (p.Gly543Cys), currently not reported in databases of human gene mutations and scientific literature. SLC34A1 germline heterozygous mutations have been associated with the autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis type 1 (NPHLOP1). Consistently, alongside the clinical features of NPHLOP1, our patient experienced recurrent nephrolithiasis and lumbar and femoral osteopenia at a young age. Genetic screening for the p.Gly453Cys variant and the clinical characterization of his first-degree relatives associated the presence of the variant in one younger brother, presenting renal colic and microlithiasis, suggesting p.Gly453Cys is possibly associated with renal altered function in the NPHLOP1 phenotype.
