Delayed Diagnosis of Perrault Syndrome: A Rare Genetic Disorder.

ABSTRACT: Perrault syndrome (PRLTS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which is associated with pathogenic variants in HSD17B4, HARS2, CLPP, LARS2, GGPS1, RMND1, TWNK, ERAL1, and PRORP genes. The disease is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, sometimes with neurological signs, including progressive sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, mild mental retardation, and ovarian dysgenesis in females. In this article, we report a case of a child diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Determination of the segregation status of the parents of a proband with a rare compound heterozygote in the gene HSD17B4 will help the genetic counselling for the prognosis of Perrault syndrome in the family.

A Rare Case of Perrault Syndrome with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder: Cochlear Implantation Treatment and Literature Review.

Project description:Perrault syndrome (PRLTS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by ovarian failure in females and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in both genders. In the present paper we describe a child affected by PRLTS3, due to CLPP homozygous mutations, presenting auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) with bilateral progressive SNHL. This is the first case reported in the literature of an ANSD in PRLTS3. CLPP is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial protease directed at the mitochondrial matrix. It is encoded on chromosome 19. This protease participates in mitochondrial protein quality control by degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, thus maintaining the normal metabolic function of the cell. In PRLTS3, the peptidase activity of CLPP is suppressed. Neurological impairments involved in PRLTS3 suggest that the pathogenic mutations in CLPP might trigger a mitochondrial dysfunction. A comprehensive description of the clinical and audiological presentation, as well as the issues related to cochlear implant (CI) procedure and the results, are addressed and discussed. A brief review of the literature on this topic is also provided.

Currarino syndrome: a comprehensive genetic review of a rare congenital disorder.

Project description:BackgroundThe triad of a presacral mass, sacral agenesis and an anorectal anomaly constitutes the rare Currarino syndrome (CS), which is caused by dorsal-ventral patterning defects during embryonic development. The major causative CS gene is MNX1, encoding a homeobox protein.Main bodyIn the majority of patients, CS occurs as an autosomal dominant trait; however, a female predominance observed, implies that CS may underlie an additional mode(s) of inheritance. Often, the diagnosis of CS is established solely by clinical findings, impacting a detailed analysis of the disease. Our combined data, evaluating more than 60 studies reporting patients with CS-associated mutations, revealed a slightly higher incidence rate in females with a female-to-male ratio of 1.39:1. Overall, MNX1 mutation analysis was successful in only 57.4% of all CS patients investigated, with no mutation detected in 7.7% of the familial and 68% of the sporadic patients. Our studies failed to detect the presence of an expressed MNX1 isoform that might explain at least some of these mutation-negative cases.ConclusionAside from MNX1, other genes or regulatory regions may contribute to CS and we discuss several cytogenetic studies and whole-exome sequencing data that have implicated further loci/genes in its etiology.

Young adult with Cantu syndrome: dealing with a rare genetic skin disorder.

Project description:This case report of a young adult with Cantú syndrome (CS) illustrates a remarkable journey of learning how to cope with symptom management and emotional impact associated with a rare skin condition. We describe a 20-year-old woman with a CS-related mutation in ABCC9 resulting in clinical manifestations, including congenital hypertrichosis, facial dysmorphism and cardiomegaly. As of yet, no treatment is available for CS.Little is known about the impact of CS and similar (skin) conditions on the life of affected individuals, and about their needs and preferences in this regard. Hence, we describe the psychosocial implications our case had to deal with immediately after her diagnosis. In addition, we outline her significant progress in managing disease-associated features and emotional stress prompted by considerable personal development and an increase in confidence. This example shows that a normal lifestyle is achievable for (newly diagnosed) individuals despite suffering from CS or a related skin disorder.

A Rare Diagnosis: Keutel Syndrome.

Project description:Tracheobronchial cartilage calcification is a rare finding in the pediatric population. Keutel syndrome (OMIM 245150) is a very rare syndrome characterized with diffuse calcification of cartilage, brachytelephalangia, pulmonary stenosis, midline defects, stippled epiphysis in infancy, and hearing loss accompanied by recurrent respiratory infections and asthma-like attacks. Here, we present a 14-year-old patient who was followed up with the diagnosis of asthma, but did not respond to appropriate asthma treatment. She was subsequently diagnosed as having Keutel syndrome with cartilage calcification on the tracheobranchial tree and auricula, atypical facial features, recurrent otitis media, hearing loss, and recurrent asthma-like symptoms.

Perrault syndrome: Clinical report and retrospective analysis.

Project description:BackgroundPerrault syndrome (PRLTS4; OMIM# 615300) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder and only a few cases have been reported worldwide. We report a Chinese female characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and premature ovarian insufficiency.MethodsWe evaluated audiological, endocrine, and ultrasound examinations and examined the genetic causes using whole-exome sequencing. We reviewed the literature to discuss the pathogenesis, genotype-phenotype correlation, treatment, and prevention of PRLTS4.ResultsBioinformatic analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the LARS2 gene, c.880G>A (p.Glu294Lys), and c.2108T>C (p.Ile703Thr) which is a novel missense mutation, co-segregated in this family. Taken together, the patient was clinically diagnosed as PRLTS4. The literature review showed that the phenotype for PRLTS4 varies widely, but the sensorineural hearing loss, increased gonadotropin levels, and amenorrhea occurred frequently. All reported mutations are highly conserved in mammals based on conservation analysis, and there is a mutation hotspot for PRLTS4.ConclusionThis study expanded the mutation spectrum of LARS2 and is the first report of PRLTS4 in a Chinese family. Genetic testing plays an important role in early diagnosis of syndromic deafness and clinical genetic evaluation is essential to guide prevention.

Progeria: a rare genetic premature ageing disorder.

Project description:Progeria is characterized by clinical features that mimic premature ageing. Although the mutation responsible for this syndrome has been deciphered, the mechanism of its action remains elusive. Progeria research has gained momentum particularly in the last two decades because of the possibility of revealing evidences about the ageing process in normal and other pathophysiological conditions. Various experimental models, both in vivo and in vitro, have been developed in an effort to understand the cellular and molecular basis of a number of clinically heterogeneous rare genetic disorders that come under the umbrella of progeroid syndromes (PSs). As per the latest clinical trial reports, Lonafarnib, a farnesyltranferase inhibitor, is a potent 'drug of hope' for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and has been successful in facilitating weight gain and improving cardiovascular and skeletal pathologies in progeroid children. This can be considered as the dawn of a new era in progeria research and thus, an apt time to review the research developments in this area highlighting the molecular aspects, experimental models, promising drugs in trial and their implications to gain a better understanding of PSs.

A delayed diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome.

Project description:Following a provisional diagnosis of asthma of several years' duration by his general practitioner, a 43-year-old otherwise healthy man who was a non-smoker was referred to a pulmonologist with worsening productive cough and exertional breathlessness. A thoracic CT scan revealed dilated airways (tracheal diameter 35?mm, left bronchial diameter 20?mm, right bronchial diameter 18?mm). Inflamed and easily collapsible airways were seen on bronchoscopy. The patient remained stable and was followed up with regular spirometry. A follow-up CT scan 7?years later showed tracheobronchomegaly (tracheal diameter 42?mm, left bronchial diameter 25?mm, right bronchial diameter 23?mm) with large cystic spaces consistent with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. Repeat bronchoscopy showed a massively dilated trachea and generalised collapse on expiration with a dilated thin-walled bronchial tree. He was deemed ineligible for lung transplantation due to the extent of airway involvement making it difficult to anastomose donor lung to native tissue.

Delayed diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a with rare hypothyroidism since childhood.

Project description:Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disorder that associates with resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH). A 21-year old man visited outpatient clinic to treat previously diagnosed hypothyroidism and vitamin D deficiency. Despite daily 150 mcg of levothyroxine supplement, thyroid-stimulating hormone level was elevated, but thyroid autoantibodies were not detected. He showed features of Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy and elevated serum PTH level with normal albumin-corrected calcium and phosphorus level. The Ellsworth-Howard test proved the blunted response of urinary phosphorus and cyclic adenosine monophosphate after the infusion of the exogenous PTH, suggesting PTH resistance. DNA analysis revealed a heterozygous mutation in the GNAS gene (c.478C > T). Herein, we report a case of PHP type 1a confirmed by clinical, biochemical and molecular analyses. Establishing correct diagnosis of PHP is necessary for efficient therapeutic management.
