Pathogenic Deep Intronic PCSK1 Variant Causes Proprotein Convertase 1/3 Deficiency in a Family
Biallelic PCSK1 loss‐of‐function mutations cause proprotein convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) deficiency, a polyendocrinopathy; a total of 36 patients were reported. The first deep intronic PCSK1 variant, (NM_000439.5):c.1196+2681T>A, was found to segregate with the disease in a consanguineous family, and is shown together with 32 reported mutations.
