BackgroundMcLeod syndrome (MLS) and chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) are exceedingly rare diseases characterized by a variety of movement disorders including chorea, dystonia, and Parkinsonism. Genetic analysis plays a key role in early and accurate diagnosis, but relevant variants are still under investigation. This study aims to explore new pathogenic variants in Chinese patients with MLS and ChAc and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the clinical heterogeneity among these patients.MethodsEighteen Chinese patients who presented with choreatic movements with negative HTT genetic testing were identified and underwent targeted next-generation sequencing, verified by Sanger sequencing.ResultsTwo novel XK variants (c.970A>T, c.422_423del) were identified in three index MLS patients and six novel VPS13A variants (c.9219C>A, c.3467T>A, c.4208dup, c.9243_9246del, c.5364del, c.556-290_697-483del) in five index ChAc patients. One copy number variant of VPS13A (g.79827595_79828762del/c.556-290_697-483del) was firstly described in Chinese population.ConclusionAs the currently largest descriptive study of MLS and ChAc patients in China, this study expands on the clinical and genetic spectrum of XK and VPS13A, contributing to the clinical diagnosis of MLS and ChAc.
