Further delineation of the phenotypic and metabolomic profile of ALDH1L2-related neurodevelopmental disorder

ALDH1L2, a mitochondrial enzyme in folate metabolism, converts 10-formyl-THF (10-formyltetrahydrofolate) to THF (tetrahydrofolate) and CO2. At the cellular level, deficiency of this NADP+-dependent reaction results in marked reduction in NADPH/NADP+ ratio and reduced mitochondrial ATP. Thus far, a single patient with biallelic ALDH1L2 variants and the phenotype of a neurodevelopmental disorder has been reported. Here, we describe another patient with a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with a novel homozygous missense variant in ALDH1L2, Pro133His. The variant caused marked reduction in the ALDH1L2 enzyme activity in skin fibroblasts derived from the patient as probed by 10-FDDF, a stable synthetic analog of 10-formyl-THF. Additional associated abnormalities in these fibroblasts include reduced NADPH/NADP+ ratio and pool of mitochondrial ATP, upregulated autophagy and dramatically altered metabolomic profile. Overall, our study further supports a link between ALDH1L2 deficiency and abnormal neurodevelopment in humans.
