Leprechaunism is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by marked intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, severe insulin resistance, and altered glucose homeostasis. This syndrome is related to mutations in the insulin receptor (IR) gene that impair the transmission of the insulin signal by several mechanisms. There is no effective therapy and patients usually die within the first months of life. Here we report the prenatal diagnosis of leprechaunism in two unrelated families in which affected children were compound heterozygotes with two different deficient IR alleles. In family Par-1, the disease IR alleles carried a missense mutation located in exon 18 (Arg1092-->Trp) and exon 20 (Glu1179-->Lys). In family Als, a 3-basepair deletion causing the loss of Asn281 in exon 3 and a major deletion of exons 10-13 were present in the maternal and paternal mutant IR alleles, respectively. Prenatal diagnosis was made in each family by a specific approach combining denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and Southern blotting. This methodology allowed us to correctly predict the genotype of the two fetuses at the IR locus.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
