The subject, a female of Turkish origin, was referred at the age of 58 years to the outpatient clinic of the Department of Nephrology, University Hospital Düsseldorf, for persistent hyperkalemia (first diagnosed at age 47 years), suspected type IV renal tubular acidosis in the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (G3a A2, KDIGO), cirrhosis of the left kidney, nephrolithiasis with a history of surgical stone removal at age 17 years, recurrent urinary tract infections, and hypertension (first diagnosed at the age of 41 years). Her past medical history was significant for coronary heart disease, with status post-non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction at the age of 47 years, multiple stent implantations, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction 5 months prior to referral. After the second myocardial infarction, serum potassium levels had risen up to 7.3 mmol/L, and severe muscle pain had started. The patient also reported paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, hypercholesterolemia, and allergy to contrast agents. Medications included bisoprolol 2.5 mg bid, calcium polystyrene sulfonate 15 g bid, sodium hydrogen carbonate 3 g tid, phenprocoumon, atorvastatin 40 mg qd, aspirin 100 mg qd, pantoprazole 40 mg qd, L-thyroxin 25 ug qd, and clopidogrel 75 mg qd. Temporary discontinuation of statin therapy had not alleviated muscle pain. Discontinuation of an AT1 receptor antagonist that had been on her regimen as well as a diet low in potassium had not led to an improvement of hyperkalemia.

Family history was significant for parental consanguinity (I degree cousins), hypertension in both parents, a fatal stroke in her mother in her early 60s, and coronary artery disease in her father. Her brother had died from renal disease of unclear origin in Turkey in his 50s (shown in Fig. 1 a).

A review of prior therapy for hypertension revealed a regimen of valsartan plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) prior to myocardial infarction, after which hydrochlorothiazide had been discontinued, apparently unmasking electrolyte abnormalities and causing muscle pain.

Because of the clinical suspicion of PHA II, we performed PCR and Sanger sequencing of the KLHL3, CUL3, WNK1, and WNK4 genes (see Methods). No variants in the WNK1, WNK4, and CUL3 genes were identified. However, a homozygous chr5:g.136973013 G > A (GRCh37) variant was identified in the KLHL3 gene, resulting in a p.Arg431Trp missense mutation (NP_059111.2) predicted as probably damaging by PolyPhen [41], deleterious by SIFT [42] and disease-causing by MutationTaster [43] (shown in Fig. 1b). This variant is present once in a heterozygous state among 251,436 alleles in gnomAD (allele frequency 4 × 10−6) [44] and once in a heterozygous state among 21,366 alleles in the ALFA Project (www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/snp/docs/gsr/alfa/; allele frequency 5 × 10−5). It is listed in dbSNP as rs769995865 and has not been reported in ClinVar. Arginine at human position 431 is completely conserved among 100 vertebrates (http://genome.ucsc. edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=multiz100way, with the exception of horse, for which no sequence is available), in C. intestinalis (vase tunicate), D. melanogaster (fruitfly), and C. elegans (nematode worm) (shown in Fig. 1c). Out of 41 paralogous proteins, arginine is conserved in 17, with none of the paralogs showing tryptophan at this position (online suppl. Fig. 1). The finding of a homozygous variant in the setting of consanguinity, in combination with its rarity in the general population and the evolutionary conservation of the affected residue, led us to consider the KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp mutation as a candidate for disease causation. The variant is located in the Kelch-like repeat 3 (shown in Fig. 1d). A homozygous p.Arg431Gln variant at the identical residue has been previously described in a single individual [12] (Table 1).

The Kelch domain (shown in Fig. 2a) is composed of six "propeller blades" stabilized by inter-blade hydrogen bonds [45]. Previous simulation studies of Kelch-domain surface mutations demonstrated decreased interaction with the WNK4 peptide but found little disruption of Kelch-WNK4 binding by mutations in the core of the protein [46]. Here, we used equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to determine the structural and dynamic consequences of the R431W core mutation. R431W is positioned at the interface between the third (K3) and fourth (K4) propeller blades, situated directly underneath the WNK4-binding site (shown in Fig. 2a). Calculation of the difference in mean squared fluctuations (a measure of variance in the protein structure) between R431W and WT simulations reproducibly demonstrated that the perturbation in protein dynamics caused by the mutation propagates throughout the entire protein, with strongly increased structural dynamics at the K3–K4 interface and the surrounding K3–K5 region, but also decreased dynamics at more distant sites (shown in Fig. 2b). Global RMSD calculations indicated a slight increase in structural instability of the mutant over the 1.1-µs simulations – focused RMSD calculations of the K3–K4 interface (residues 425–465) and the WNK4-binding site (residues 339, 355, 360, 386, 402, 407, 432, 449, 451, 481, 498, 528, and 577), suggesting a disruption of tertiary structure in the R431W mutant (shown in Fig. 2c, e; see below).

Swyddogaethol Dadansoddiad

To further study the pathophysiology associated with KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp, we obtained plasmids encoding 3x FLAG-tagged human WNK4 in the pTRE2hyg vector and Halo-tagged human KLHL3 in the pFN21A vector [47]. We introduced the p.Arg431Trp mutation to the WT KLHL3 plasmid using site-directed mutagenesis and heterologously expressed the corresponding plasmids in COS7 cells. When coexpressing WT and mutant KLHL3 with WT WNK4, Western blots with anti-Halotag primary antibodies revealed WT KLHL3 bands. However, repeated transfections of two independent KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp clones initially did not result in detectable bands (relative intensity normalized by -actin expression, 0.761 ± 0.144 in WT vs. 0.0{{3{{40}}}}9 ± 0.002 in p.Arg431Trp, p < 0.0001, t=12.81). Expression levels of WNK4, determined by anti-FLAG Western blot, were significantly higher in cells coexpressing KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp than in cells coexpressing WT KLHL3 (relative intensity normalized by -actin expression, 0.721 ± 0.137 with WT vs. 0.967 ± 0.115 with Arg431Trp, p=0.005, t=3.546). All values are given as mean ± SEM, and comparison was performed by a two-tailed ratio-paired t test, df=11 (shown in Fig. 3a, b). To assess whether KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp was expressed at lower quantities, we transfected increasing amounts (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 µg) of WT and mutant plasmids. With 8 µg, we observed increased lethality (data not shown), but with expression of 4 µg mutant plasmid, we could detect a weak band at the expected size (note the longer exposure time compared to WT, shown in Fig. 3c). To assess whether decreased protein stability could cause decreased expression levels of the mutant protein, we performed cycloheximide chase assays. KLHL3 p.Arg431Trp was degraded more rapidly than WT (shown in Fig. 3d).

Trafodaeth/Casgliad 

At the age of 58 years, the patient reported here was diagnosed later in life than any of the previously reported cases with recessive KLHL3 mutation. The oldest patient reported in the literature was diagnosed at the age of 56 years [15]. However, retrospectively, hypertension and hyperkalemia had been present in our patient for several years. The characteristic hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis associated with PHA II had likely been masked by the administration of a thiazide diuretic. Discontinuation of hydrochlorothiazide after myocardial infarction was the likely cause of massive hyperkalemic acidosis associated with muscle pain and hypertension that eventually led to the diagnosis of PHA II. We thus suggest that the presence of hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis that is inadequate for kidney function in combination with suppressed renin should raise the suspicion of PHA II even in patients over 50 years of age. The diagnosis of PHA II can be complicated by the effects of preexisting treatment with antihypertensive medications that influence the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and may lead to spuriously elevated or low renin and/or aldosterone values [48, 49]. Hyperkalemia despite a normal glomerular filtration rate is often described as a characteristic feature of PHA II [6]. While this may be characteristic in children, in adults, such as in the patient reported here, longstanding hypertension, nephrolithiasis, and recurrent urinary tract infections can lead to impaired kidney function, as previously reported in a patient with a heterozygous mutation [14]. Nephrolithiasis as in our patient has been described in PHA II [50] but is not a common finding. Interestingly, spot urinary calcium: creatinine ratios were not elevated in our patient (0.17 and <0.06 mmol/mmol creatinine, respectively), contrary to observations in large kindred with the WNK4 mutation and average urinary calcium of 0.85 ± 0.27 mmol/mmol creatinine [51]. Severe target-organ damage in our patient, including myocardial infarctions and CKD, emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and adequate therapy of PHA II, although hypertension and target-organ damage in our patient's parents may also point to a genetic risk independent of the homozygous PHA II mutation. To prevent delayed diagnosis, after more common causes, such as primary aldosteronism, have been excluded, genetic testing for Mendelian forms of hypertension should be considered by practitioners when patients present with low-renin hypertension in the presence of hormonal and/or electrolyte abnormalities.

It is possible that the p.Arg431Trp mutation observed in our patient prevents the Kelch domain from folding, consistent with the decreased structural stability of the mutated domain observed in our simulations, where the side-chain substitution was inserted in the already folded protein. Accordingly, Western blot analysis indicated significantly reduced expression levels of p.Arg431Trp KLHL3 (shown in Fig. 3a-c). The cycloheximide (an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis) chase assay further demonstrated reduced protein stability of p.Arg431Trp KLHL3 (shown in Fig. 3d), similar to prior observations in the p.Ser410Leu variant [52]. These data indicate that the primary consequence of the p.Arg431Trp mutation is to destabilize the folded state of the protein, whereas de-creased interactions of folded KLHL3 with WNK4 is, at most, a secondary effect. In any case, lower levels of KLHL3 reduce WNK ubiquitinylation, resulting in higher WNK4 abundance (shown in Fig. 3) and are inferred to cause higher NCCT phosphorylation, as well as lower potassium secretion via ROMK, explaining the underlying pathophysiology.
