Heterozygous Pathogenic and Likely Pathogenic Symptomatic HTRA1 Variant Carriers in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

High temperature requirement serine peptidase A1 (HTRA1) related cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) includes both symptomatic heterozygous HTRA1 variant carrier and cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) patients.

Sumario:High temperature requirement serine peptidase A1 (HTRA1) related cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) includes both symptomatic heterozygous HTRA1 variant carrier and cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) patients. Presently, most reported symptomatic heterozygous HTRA1 variant carrier cases are sporadic family reports with a lack of specific characteristics. Additionally, the molecular mechanism of heterozygous HTRA1 gene variants is unclear. We conducted this review to collect symptomatic carriers of heterozygous HTRA1 gene variants reported as of 2022, analyzed all pathogenicity according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) variant classification, and summarized the cases with pathogenic and likely pathogenic HTRA1 variants gender characteristics, age of onset, geographical distribution, initial symptoms, clinical manifestations, imaging signs, HTRA1 gene variant information and to speculate its underlying pathogenic mechanisms. In this review, we summarized the following characteristics of pathogenic and likely pathogenic symptomatic HTRA1 variant carriers: to date, the majority of reported symptomatic HTRA1 carriers are in European and Asian countries, particularly in China which was found to have the highest number of reported cases. The age of first onset is mostly concentrated in the fourth and fifth decades. The heterozygous HTRA1 gene variants were mostly missense variants. The two variant sites, 166–182 aa and 274–302 aa, were the most concentrated. Clinicians need to pay attention to de novo data and functional data, which may affect the pathogenicity analysis. The decrease in HtrA1 protease activity is currently the most important explanation for the genetic pathogenesis.
