Lactic aciduria due to D-lactic acid(DLACD; UAQTL7; GOUT5)

MedGen UID:
1679270
Concept ID:
C5193006
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: D-LACTIC ACIDURIA; D-LACTIC ACIDURIA AND GOUT; D-LACTIC ACIDURIA WITH GOUT; DLACD; GOUT, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 5; GOUT5; UAQTL7; URIC ACID CONCENTRATION, SERUM, QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCUS 7
 
Gene (location): LDHD (16q23.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0009505
OMIM®: 245450

Definition

D-lactic aciduria is characterized by elevated D-lactate in plasma and urine. Patients show elevated serum uric acid concentrations and low urinary uric acid levels, due to reduced renal clearance of uric acid, and affected adults may experience episodes of gouty arthropathy (Drabkin et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of serum uric acid concentration quantitative trait loci, see UAQTL1 (138900). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Lacticaciduria
MedGen UID:
871116
Concept ID:
C4025585
Finding
An increased concentration of lactic acid in the urine.
Elevated urine D-lactate level
MedGen UID:
1054181
Concept ID:
CN377299
Finding
The amount of D-lactate in the urine, normalized for urine concentration, is above the upper limit of normal. L-lactate is a familiar molecule to the human body and is also produced in large amounts in human tissues, depending on metabolic conditions. In contrast, D-lactate is produced only in minute quantities in human tissues, and is therefore not detectable in the bloodstream under normal physiological conditions.
Intellectual disability
MedGen UID:
811461
Concept ID:
C3714756
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Inguinal hernia
MedGen UID:
6817
Concept ID:
C0019294
Finding
Protrusion of the contents of the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal.
Microcephaly
MedGen UID:
1644158
Concept ID:
C4551563
Finding
Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender.
Downslanted palpebral fissures
MedGen UID:
98391
Concept ID:
C0423110
Finding
The palpebral fissure inclination is more than two standard deviations below the mean.
Congenital aniridia
MedGen UID:
1941
Concept ID:
C0003076
Congenital Abnormality
PAX6-related aniridia occurs either as an isolated ocular abnormality or as part of the Wilms tumor-aniridia-genital anomalies-retardation (WAGR) syndrome. Aniridia is a pan ocular disorder affecting the cornea, iris, intraocular pressure (resulting in glaucoma), lens (cataract and lens subluxation), fovea (foveal hypoplasia), and optic nerve (optic nerve coloboma and hypoplasia). Individuals with aniridia characteristically show nystagmus and impaired visual acuity (usually 20/100 - 20/200); however, milder forms of aniridia with subtle iris architecture changes, good vision, and normal foveal structure do occur. Other ocular involvement may include strabismus and occasionally microphthalmia. Although the severity of aniridia can vary between and within families, little variability is usually observed in the two eyes of an affected individual. WAGR syndrome. The risk for Wilms tumor is 42.5%-77%; of those who develop Wilms tumor, 90% do so by age four years and 98% by age seven years. Genital anomalies in males can include cryptorchidism and hypospadias (sometimes resulting in ambiguous genitalia), urethral strictures, ureteric abnormalities, and gonadoblastoma. While females typically have normal external genitalia, they may have uterine abnormalities and streak ovaries. Intellectual disability (defined as IQ <74) is observed in 70%; behavioral abnormalities include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Other individuals with WAGR syndrome can have normal intellect without behavioral problems.
