Expanding phenotype of FAM111B-related disease focusing on liver involvement: Literature review, report of a case with end-stage liver disease and proposal for a new acronym.

ABSTRACT: POIKiloderma, tendon contractures, myopathy, pulmonary fibrosis is a congenital multisystem disorder due to FAM111B dominant variants. We present a literature review focusing on the frequency and the impact of hepatic involvement and a case report of a patient with severe end-stage liver disease. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was conducted on the proband and his parents. A de novo FAM111B: c.1879A > G; (p.Arg627Gly) variant was identified. Hepatic involvement is present in 11 out of the 30 patients described in the literature, with different levels of dysfunction ranging from mild transaminitis to liver fibrosis found in three different cases by liver biopsies. Liver involvement seems to be a significant cause of morbidity. We propose to modify the previous acronym in POIK-TMPL: including POIKiloderma, tendon contractures, myopathy, pulmonary fibrosis/pancreas insufficiency and cancer, liver involvement/lymphedema. Moreover, we suggest screening patients with FAM111B variants for liver involvement from the first month of life and continue with an appropriate follow-up. Further studies are needed to better understand this frequent complication.

Project description:Background & aimsPolycystic liver disease (PLD), the most common extrarenal manifestation of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), has become more prevalent as a result of increased life expectancy, improved renal survival, reduced cardiovascular mortality, and renal replacement therapy. No studies have fully characterized PLD in large cohorts. We investigated whether liver and cyst volumes are associated with volume of the hepatic parenchyma, results from liver laboratory tests, and patient-reported outcomes.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis of baseline liver volumes, measured by magnetic resonance imaging, and their association with demographics, results from liver laboratory and other tests, and quality of life. The data were collected from a randomized, placebo-controlled trial underway at 7 tertiary-care medical centers to determine whether the combination of an angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin II-receptor blocker was superior to the inhibitor alone, and whether low blood pressure (<110/75 mm Hg) was superior to standard blood pressure (120-130/70-80 mm Hg), in delaying renal cystic progression in 558 patients with ADPKD, stages 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease, and hypertension (age, 15-49 y).ResultsWe found hepatomegaly to be common among patients with ADPKD. Cysts and parenchyma contributed to hepatomegaly. Cysts were more common and liver and cyst volumes were greater in women, increasing with age. Patients with advanced disease had a relative loss of liver parenchyma. We observed small abnormalities in results from liver laboratory tests, and that splenomegaly and hypersplenism were associated with PLD severity. Higher liver volumes were associated with a lower quality of life.ConclusionsHepatomegaly is common even in early stage ADPKD and is not accounted for by cysts alone. Parenchymal volumes were larger, compared with liver volumes of patients without ADPKD or with those predicted by standardized equations, even among patients without cysts. The severity of PLD was associated with altered biochemical and hematologic features, as well as quality of life. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00283686.
