Abstract

Introduction Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (SGPL1) insufficiency syndrome (SPLIS) is a multi-systemic disorder which, in the main, incorporates steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Case Presentation We present a young girl with a novel homozygous variant in SGPL1; p.D350G, with PAI in the absence of nephrotic syndrome. In the course of 15 years of follow up she has further developed primary hypothyroidism and whilst she has progressed through puberty appropriately, ovarian calcifications were noted on imaging. The p.D350G variant results in reduced protein expression of SGPL1. We demonstrate that CRISPR engineered knockout of SGPL1 in human adrenocortical (H295R) cells abrogates cortisol production. Furthermore, whilst wild-type SGPL1 is able to rescue cortisol production in this in vitro model of adrenal disease, this is not observed with the p.D350G mutant. Conclusion SGPL1 deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of PAI with close attention paid to evolving disease on follow up.
