beta-ureidopropionase (beta UP) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by N-carbamyl-beta-amino aciduria. To date, only 16 genetically confirmed patients with beta UP deficiency have been reported. Here, we report on the clinical, biochemical and molecular findings of 13 Japanese beta UP deficient patients. In this group of patients, three novel missense mutations (p.G31S, p.E271K, and p.I286T) and a recently described mutation (p.R326Q) were identified. The p.R326Q mutation was detected in all 13 patients with eight patients being homozygous for this mutation. Screening for the p.R326Q mutation in 110 Japanese individuals showed an allele frequency of 0.9 %. Transient expression of mutant beta UP enzymes in HEK293 cells showed that the p.E271K and p.R326Q mutations cause profound decreases in activity (a parts per thousand currency sign 1.3 %). Conversely, beta UP enzymes containing the p.G31S and p.I286T mutations possess residual activities of 50 and 70 %, respectively, suggesting we cannot exclude the presence of additional mutations in the non-coding region of the UPB1 gene. Analysis of a human beta UP homology model revealed that the effects of the mutations (p.G31S, p.E271K, and p.R326Q) on enzyme activity are most likely linked to improper oligomer assembly. Highly variable phenotypes ranging from neurological involvement (including convulsions and autism) to asymptomatic, were observed in diagnosed patients. High prevalence of p.R326Q in the normal Japanese population indicates that beta UP deficiency is not as rare as generally considered and screening for beta UP deficiency should be included in diagnosis of patients with unexplained neurological abnormalities.
