Treatment of a young child with multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis exhibiting joint inflammation and dysfunctional bone formation.

ABSTRACT: Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by osteolysis of the carpal and tarsal bones. Antiresorptive agents have proven ineffective and the pathogenesis of MCTO remains poorly understood. We report a young child with a novel variant in MAFB who demonstrated clinical improvement of joint symptoms following anti-rheumatic therapies. Also, radiographs from a young age suggest that dysfunctional bone formation may play a role in the skeletal phenotype of MCTO.

Denosumab Treatment Does Not Halt Progression of Bone Lesions in Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome.

Project description:Here we report the use of denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), as monotherapy for multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) in an 11.5-year-old male with a heterozygous missense mutation in MAFB (c.206C>T; p.Ser69Leu). We treated the subject with 0.5 mg/kg denosumab every 60-90 days for 47 months and monitored bone and mineral metabolism, kidney function, joint range of motion (ROM), and bone and joint morphology. Serum markers of bone turnover reduced rapidly, bone density increased, and renal function remained normal. Nevertheless, MCTO-related osteolysis and joint immobility progressed during denosumab treatment. Symptomatic hypercalcemia and protracted hypercalciuria occurred during weaning and after discontinuation of denosumab and required treatment with zoledronate. When expressed in vitro, the c.206C>T; p.Ser69Leu variant had increased protein stability and produced greater transactivation of a luciferase reporter under the control of the PTH gene promoter than did wild-type MafB. Based on our experience and that of others, denosumab does not appear to be efficacious for MCTO and carries a high risk of rebound hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria after drug discontinuation. © 2023 The Authors.

Three cases of multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome: a case series.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) is characterized by progressive destruction and disappearance of the carpal and tarsal bones associated with nephropathy. MCTO is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the MAF bZIP transcription factor B (MAFB) gene. CASE PRESENTATION:This report describes three unrelated patients with MAFB mutations, including two male and one female patient. Osteolytic lesions in the carpal and tarsal bones were detected at 2 years, 12 years, and 14 months of age, respectively. Associated proteinuria was noted at 4 years, 12 years, and 3 months of age, respectively. Kidney biopsy was performed in two of them and revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). One patient showed progression to end-stage renal disease, that is by 1 year after the detection of proteinuria. The second patient had persistent proteinuria but maintained normal renal function. In the third patient, who did not undergo a kidney biopsy, the proteinuria disappeared spontaneously. The bony lesions worsened progressively in all three patients. Mutational study of MAFB revealed three different mutations, two novel mutations [c.183C?>?A (p.Ser61Arg) and c.211C?>?G (p.Pro71Ala)] and one known mutation [c.212C?>?T (p.Pro71Leu)]. CONCLUSION:We report three cases with MCTO and two novel MAFB mutations. The renal phenotypes were different among the three patients, whereas progressive worsening of the bony lesions was common in all patients. We also confirmed FSGS to be an early renal pathologic finding in two cases. A diagnosis of MCTO should be considered in patients with progressive bone loss concentrated primarily in the carpal and tarsal bones and kidney involvement, such as proteinuria.

Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis: a Contemporary Perspective on the Unique Skeletal Phenotype.

Project description:Purpose of reviewMulticentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO) is an ultra-rare disorder characterized by osteolysis of the carpal and tarsal bones, subtle craniofacial deformities, and nephropathy. The molecular pathways underlying the pathophysiology are not well understood.Recent findingsMCTO is caused by heterozygous mutations in MAFB, which encodes the widely expressed transcription factor MafB. All MAFB mutations in patients with MCTO result in replacement of amino acids that cluster in a phosphorylation region of the MafB transactivation domain and account for a presumed gain-of-function for the variant protein. Since 2012, fewer than 60 patients with MCTO have been described with 20 missense mutations in MAFB. The clinical presentations are variable, and a genotype-phenotype correlation is lacking. Osteolysis, via excessive osteoclast activity, has been regarded as the primary mechanism, although anti-resorptive agents demonstrate little therapeutic benefit. This paper appraises current perspectives of MafB protein action, inflammation, and dysfunctional bone formation on the pathogenesis of the skeletal phenotype in MCTO. More research is needed to understand the pathogenesis of MCTO to develop rational therapies.

A Familial Case of Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome and Treatment Outcome.

Project description:Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) is a rare skeletal disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the MAFB gene (v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene ortholog B). This is an autosomal dominant condition with a high frequency of sporadic cases. MCTO is characterized by osteolysis of the carpal, metacarpal, and tarsal bones beginning in early childhood with musculoskeletal rheumatologic symptoms such as pain and disability. Renal involvement can be seen in more than half of the patients; from ages 16 months to 42 years and manifests from proteinuria to end-stage renal failure requiring renal transplantation. The association of MAFB gene mutations with this genetic condition has aided in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease. We report here a 7-year-old Caucasian boy and his 33-year-old mother diagnosed with MCTO, with the boy having concomitant juvenile idiopathic arthritis. He was initially diagnosed with arthritis at age 5 years based on bilateral wrist synovial swelling, morning stiffness, and weakness with family history of his mother being diagnosed with erosive psoriatic arthritis leading to limb deformities. Initial therapy for the boy included methotrexate and infliximab with moderate response. Later, during the course of his disease, he underwent a genetic evaluation at age 7 years for history of learning disabilities and dysmorphic features. Maternal evaluation and radiographic examination led to a clinical diagnosis of MCTO in the mother, and subsequent testing for MAFB gene in the son revealed a mutation at c.206C > T (p.Ser69Leu), the most commonly reported genetic change in MCTO. Nevertheless, further imaging still confirmed ongoing arthritis, and therapy was adjusted based on its progression including abatacept, tocilizumab, and pamidronate. Our report highlights the possibility of concomitant inflammatory arthropathy in MCTO.

Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) with generalized high bone turnover and high serum RANKL: Response to denosumab.

Project description:MCTO is a rare disorder, caused by mutations in the MafB gene, a negative regulator of receptor activator of nuclear factor-кB ligand (RANKL). Manifestations include carpal and tarsal osteolysis and renal failure. Pathophysiology is poorly understood, and no effective treatment is available. In this case report we describe a patient with MCTO (MafB, mutation c.206C>T, p.Ser69Leu), diagnosed at the age of 5 years. At 7 years, skeletal survey showed diffuse osteopenia. BMD was mildly reduced, and bone turnover markers increased. He was treated with denosumab, a human monoclonal RANKL inhibitor for two years. Each injection was followed by a marked reduction in C-telopeptide (CTX). Following denosumab his BMD and bone symptoms improved and the osteolysis stabilized. At the age of 13 years, osteoporosis was diagnosed using high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) and serum RANKL was found to be markedly increased. This initial experience suggests that the associated osteoporosis may be ameliorated by denosumab, although further study will be needed to understand the appropriate dose, frequency, and the extent of efficacy. Monitoring of CTX and bone specific alkaline phosphatase will be especially useful in this regard. Further study in other MCTO patients is also needed to determine whether high bone turnover is specific to this mutation or more common than previously appreciated. We propose a model in which osteolysis in this condition is strongly associated with the systemic osteoporosis.

The First Report of Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome Caused by MAFB Mutation in Asian.

Project description:Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by aggressive osteolysis associated with progressive nephropathy. The early clinical presentation can mimic polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Since 2012, MAFB mutations have been discovered in all MCTO patients. Therefore, the early diagnosis can be made based on genetic confirmation. We report the clinical manifestation of mineral bone disease and the molecular genetic study of a Thai female adolescent with MCTO. She presented with end-stage renal disease, bilateral wrist and ankle joint deformities, and subtle facial dysmorphic features. We identified a heterozygous missense MAFB mutation at nucleotide 197 from C to G (NM_005461.4; c.197C>G), predicting the change of amino acid at codon 66 from serine to cysteine (p.Ser66Cys), and the mutation was absent in the parents, indicating a de novo mutation. This report confirms the previous link between MAFB mutation and MCTO. Her unexplained hypercalcemia after a regular dose of calcium and active vitamin D supported an important role of MafB in the negative regulation of RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation. Therefore, we would encourage the physicians who take care of MCTO patients to closely monitor serum calcium level and perform a genetic study as a part of the management and investigation.

Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome Associated Nephropathy: Novel Variants of <i>MAFB</i> Gene and Literature Review.

Project description:Multicentric carpo-tarsal osteolysis (MCTO) is a rare osteolysis syndrome mainly involving carpal and tarsal bones usually presenting in early childhood. MCTO has autosomal dominant inheritance with heterozygous mutation in the MAFB gene. The skeletal disorder is often associated with chronic kidney disease. Data on clinical characterization and best treatment option of MCTO-associated nephropathy are scarce and mostly limited to case reports. With the aim to better define the phenotype and long-term outcomes of MCTO-associated nephropathy, we launched an online survey through the Workgroup for hereditary glomerulopathies of the European Rare Kidney Disease Network (ERKNet). Overall, we collected clinical and genetic data of 54 MCTO patients, of which 42 previously described and 12 new patients. We observed a high rate of kidney involvement (70%), early age of kidney disease onset, nephrotic-range proteinuria, and a kidney survival around of 40% at long-term follow-up. Our finding confirmed the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations and widen the spectrum of phenotypes resulting from MCTO-associated nephropathy. Furthermore, we report the first case of complete remission after treatment with cyclosporine A. We demonstrated that multidisciplinary care is essential for MCTO patients and early referral to nephrologists is therefore warranted to facilitate prompt treatment.

Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis is caused by mutations clustering in the amino-terminal transcriptional activation domain of MAFB.

Project description:Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by aggressive osteolysis, particularly affecting the carpal and tarsal bones, and is frequently associated with progressive renal failure. Using exome capture and next-generation sequencing in five unrelated simplex cases of MCTO, we identified previously unreported missense mutations clustering within a 51 base pair region of the single exon of MAFB, validated by Sanger sequencing. A further six unrelated simplex cases with MCTO were also heterozygous for previously unreported mutations within this same region, as were affected members of two families with autosomal-dominant MCTO. MAFB encodes a transcription factor that negatively regulates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and is essential for normal renal development. Identification of this gene paves the way for development of novel therapeutic approaches for this crippling disease and provides insight into normal bone and kidney development.

Trio Clinical Exome Sequencing in a Patient With Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome: First Case Report in the Balkans.

Project description:Exome sequencing can interrogate thousands of genes simultaneously and it is becoming a first line diagnostic tool in genomic medicine. Herein, we applied trio clinical exome sequencing (CES) in a patient presenting with undiagnosed skeletal disorder, minor facial abnormalities, and kidney hypoplasia; her parents were asymptomatic. Testing the proband and her parents led to the identification of a de novo mutation c.188C>T (p.Pro63Leu) in the MAFB gene, which is known to cause multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO). The c.188C>T mutation lies in a hotspot amino acid stretch within the transactivation domain of MAFB, which is a negative regulator of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. MCTO is an extremely rare autosomal dominant (AD) disorder that typically arises spontaneously and causes carpotarsal osteolysis, often followed by nephropathy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting genetically diagnosed MCTO in the Balkans.
