RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The ATP7A gene encodes a copper transporter whose mutations cause Menkes disease, occipital horn syndrome (OHS), and, less frequently, ATP7A-related distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). Here we describe a family with OHS caused by a novel mutation in the ATP7A gene, including a patient with a comorbid dHMN that worsened markedly after being treated with copper histidinate. METHODS: We studied in detail the clinical features of the patients and performed a genomic analysis by using TruSight One Expanded Sequencing Panel. Subsequently, we determined the ATP7A and ATP7B expression levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, and redox balance in cultured fibroblasts of Patient 1. RESULTS: We found a novel ATP7A late truncated mutation p.Lys1412AsnfsX15 in the two affected members of this family. The co-occurrence of OHS and dHMN in Patient 1 reveals the variable phenotypic expressivity of the variant. A severe clinical and neurophysiologic worsening was observed in the dHMN of Patient 1 when he was treated with copper replacement therapy, with a subsequent fast recovery after the copper histidinate was withdrawn. Functional studies revealed that the patient had low levels of both ATP7A and ATP7B, the other copper transporter, and high levels of superoxide ion in the mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings broaden the clinical spectrum of ATP7A-related disorders and demonstrate that two clinical phenotypes can occur in the same patient. The copper-induced toxicity and low levels of both ATP7A and ATP7B in our patient suggest that copper accumulation in motor neurons is the pathogenic mechanism in ATP7A-related dHMN.

RESUMO

Cutis laxa (CL) syndromes comprise a rare group of multisystem disorders that share loose redundant skin folds as hallmark clinical feature. CL results from impaired elastic fiber assembly and homeostasis, and the known underlying gene defects affect different extracellular matrix proteins, intracellular trafficking, or cellular metabolism. Due to the underlying clinical and molecular heterogeneity, the diagnostic work-up of CL patients is often challenging. In this review, we provide a practical approach to the broad differential diagnosis of CL syndromes, provide an overview of the molecular pathogenesis of the different subtypes, and suggest general management guidelines.

RESUMO

Cutis laxa is a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by abundant and wrinkled skin and a variable degree of intellectual disability. Cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type IIIA and autosomal dominant 3 syndromes are caused by autosomal recessive or de novo pathogenic variants in ALDH18A1. Autosomal recessive variants are known to lead to the most severe neurological phenotype, and very few patients have been described.We describe a 13-month-old patient with cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type IIIA, with an extremely severe phenotype, including novel neurological findings. This description enlarges the neurological spectrum associated to cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type IIIA, and provides an additional description of this syndrome.

RESUMO

BBS7 and RIN2 variants cause Bardet Biedl syndrome and RIN2 syndrome respectively. We investigated a consanguineous family in which five individuals manifested different phenotypes. Whole-exome sequencing analyses of the individual with multiple phenotypes revealed homozygosity for novel pathogenic variants in his DNA sample; a frameshift variant in RIN2 (c.1938delT) and a splice-site variant in BBS7 (c.1677-1G > A). Other affected individuals were homozygous for a variant in only one of either gene and consequently manifested phenotypes respective to one disorder. Our work shows that exome sequencing of the most severely affected individual can help in the identification of pathogenic variants in more than one involved genes in a particular family.

RESUMO

AGel amyloidosis is a dominantly inherited systemic amyloidosis caused by mutations p.D214N or p.D214Y resulting in gelsolin amyloid (AGel) formation. AGel accumulates extracellularly in many tissues and alongside elastic fibres. AGel deposition associates with elastic fibre degradation leading to severe clinical manifestations, such as cutis laxa and angiopathic complications. We analysed elastic fibre pathology in dermal and vascular tissue and plasma samples from 35 patients with AGel amyloidosis and 40 control subjects by transmission electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and ELISA methods. To clarify the pathomechanism(s) of AGel-related elastolysis, we studied the roles of MMP-2, -7, -9, -12 and -14, TIMP-1 and TGFß. We found massive accumulation of amyloid fibrils along elastic fibres as well as fragmentation and loss of elastic fibres in all dermal and vascular samples of AGel patients. Fibrils of distinct types formed fibrous matrix. The degradation pattern of elastic fibres in AGel patients was different from the age-related degradation in controls. The elastin of elastic fibres in AGel patients was strongly decreased compared to controls. MMP-9 was expressed at lower and TGFß at higher levels in AGel patients than in controls. The accumulation of amyloid fibrils with severe elastolysis characterises both dermal and vascular derangement in AGel amyloidosis.

RESUMO

FBLN5-related cutis laxa (CL) is a rare syndrome that can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive manner. Autosomal recessive cutis laxa (ARCL), type IA, has been reported to be more severe. The disease is characterized by microcephaly, sagging cheeks, loose, wrinkled and redundant skin, emphysema, aorta or pulmonary artery abnormalities, inguinal hernia, and anomalies of internal organs. Homozygous mutations in the FBLN5 gene are responsible for the clinical manifestations. We report a family study of a child with ARCL. FBLN5 genes of the patient and parents were sequenced using next-generation sequencing technologies. Analyses showed that the patient was homozygous for the novel c.518A>G, p.R173H mutation in exon 6 of the FBLN5 gene, whereas the parents were heterozygous. The mutation was found to be 'possibly pathogenic' in bioinformatic analysis. We identified a novel FBLN5 mutation in a CL patient; pedigree and parental genetic analyses suggested ARCL. Our results also suggest that the mutation analysis provides useful evidence to support the clinical diagnosis and define the inheritance mode of CL in an apparently sporadic case.

RESUMO

"Cutis laxa" (CL) are rare elastic tissue disorders characterized by loose, sagging skin. They can be a congenital or acquired condition. Inherited cutis laxa is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the severity of their visceral involvement and by their mode of transmission. Three groups have been identified on the basis of their genetic transmission: autosomal dominant, recessive autosomal, X-linked recessive. The severity of the visceral involvement affects the prognosis of inherited CL which is potentially fatal in the short term in patients with cardiac or pulmonary involvement. This study aims to remind clinicians of this rare affection through direct observation of an infant being followed-up for respiratory distress sixteenth days after birth.

RESUMO

Cutis laxa syndromes are rare inherited disorders of skin and connective tissue metabolism associated with variable systemic involvement. The main clinical manifestation is loose, wrinkled, redundant, inelastic skin, hypotonia, typical facies including short nose and down-slanting palpebral fissures, and varying degrees of developmental delay. The aim of this report is to describe two siblings diagnosed with a moderate form of ATP6V0A2-related cutis laxa with polymicrogyria (cobblestone-like brain dysgenesis). One of the patients has myoclonic epilepsy which may have contributed to his more severe clinical presentation. The literature on cutis laxa syndromes is reviewed.

RESUMO

Cutis laxa (CL) syndromes are connective tissue disorders characterized by redundant, sagging, inelastic and wrinkled skin, with organ involvement. Here, we describe a patient with ALDH18A1-related CL who developed cyclic vomiting. The patient was a 12-year-old boy who presented with poor postnatal growth, hypotonia, short stature, joint hyperlaxity, microcephaly, strabismus, bilateral cataracts, facial dysmorphism and severe mental retardation. Bone radiographs showed osteopenia and osteoporosis, and magnetic resonance angiography showed marked kinking and tortuosity of the brain vessels. These findings were clinically compatible with ALDH18A1-related CL. Molecular analysis revealed a de novo heterozygous mutation (p.R138Q) in ALDH18A1. No mutations were found in PYCR1 gene. The patient developed cyclic vomiting with decreased blood levels of ornithine, citrulline, arginine and proline without hyperammonemia and other hypoaminoacidemias were also found. ALDH18A1 encodes Δ(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, which is related to the biosynthesis of ornithine, citrulline, arginine, and proline. Cyclic vomiting has never been reported in other ALDH18A1-related CL patients. This is the first case report of ALDH18A1-related CL with cyclic vomiting associated with amino acid abnormalities.

RESUMO

Mutations in ATP7A lead to at least three allelic disorders: Menkes disease (MD), Occipital horn syndrome and X-linked distal motor neuropathy. These disorders are mainly seen in male individuals, but a few affected females have been described. More than 400 different mutations have been identified in the ATP7A gene. We have conducted several studies in the hope of uncovering the relationship between genotype and phenotype. We have examined the X-inactivation pattern in affected females, the effect of exon-deletions and--duplications, and splice-site mutations on the composition and amount of ATP7A transcript, and we have examined the structural location of missense mutations. The X-inactivation pattern did not fully explain the manifestation of MD in a small fraction of carriers. Most of the affected females had preferential inactivation of the X-chromosome with the normal ATP7A gene, but a few individuals exhibited preferential inactivation of the X-chromosome with the mutated ATP7A gene. The observed mild phenotype in some patients with mutations that effect the composition of the ATP7A transcript, seems to be explained by the presence of a small amount of normal ATP7A transcript. The location of missense mutations on structural models of the ATP7A protein suggests that affected conserved residues generally lead to a severe phenotype. The ATP7A protein traffics within the cells. At low copper levels, ATP7A locates to the Trans-Golgi Network (TGN) to load cuproenzymes with copper, whereas at higher concentrations, ATP7A shifts to the post-Golgi compartments or to the plasma membrane to export copper out of the cell. Impaired copper-regulation trafficking has been observed for ATP7A mutants, but its impact on the clinical outcome is not clear. The major problem in patients with MD seems to be insufficient amounts of copper in the brain. In fact, prenatal treatment of mottled mice as a model for human MD with a combination of chelator and copper, produces a slight increase in copper levels in the brain which perhaps leads to longer survival and more active behavior. In conclusion, small amounts of copper at the right location seem to relieve the symptoms.

RESUMO

Normal skin ageing is characterised by an alteration of the underlying connective tissue with measurable consequences on global skin biophysical properties. The cutis laxa syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, is considered as an accelerated ageing process since patients appear prematurely aged due to alterations of dermal elastic fibres. In the present study, we compared the topography and the biomechanical parameters of normal aged skin with an 17 year old cutis laxa patient. Skin topography analyses were conducted on normal skin at different ages. The results indicate that the skin relief highly changes as a function of ageing. The cutaneous lines change from a relatively isotropic orientation to a highly anisotropic orientation. This reorganisation of the skin relief during the ageing process might be due to a modification of the skin mechanical properties, and particularly to a modification of the dermis mechanical properties. A specific bio-tribometer, based on the indentationtechnique under light load, has been developed to study the biophysical properties of the human skin in vivo through two main parameters: the physico-chemical properties of the skin surface, by measuring the maximum adhesion force between the skin and the bio-tribometer; and the bulk mechanical properties. Our results show that the pull-off force between the skin and the biotribometer as well as the skin Young's modulus decrease with age. In the case of the young cutis laxa patient, the results obtained were similar to those observed for aged individuals. These results are very interesting and encouraging since they would allow the monitoring of the cutis laxa skin in a standardised and non-invasive way to better characterize either the evolution of the disease or the benefit of a treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Elastin gene mutations have been associated with a variety of phenotypes. Autosomal dominant cutis laxa (ADCL) is a rare disorder that presents with lax skin, typical facial characteristics, inguinal hernias, aortic root dilatation and pulmonary emphysema. In most patients, frameshift mutations are found in the 3' region of the elastin gene (exons 30-34) which result in a C-terminally extended protein, though exceptions have been reported. METHODS: We clinically and molecularly characterized the thus far largest cohort of ADCL patients, consisting of 19 patients from six families and one sporadic patient. RESULTS: Molecular analysis showed C-terminal frameshift mutations in exon 30, 32, and 34 of the elastin gene and identified a mutational hotspot in exon 32 (c.2262delA). This cohort confirms the previously reported clinical constellation of skin laxity (100%), inguinal hernias (51%), aortic root dilatation (55%) and emphysema (37%). CONCLUSION: ADCL is a clinically and molecularly homogeneous disorder, but intra- and interfamilial variability in the severity of organ involvement needs to be taken into account. Regular cardiovascular and pulmonary evaluations are imperative in the clinical follow-up of these patients.

RESUMO

Most organelles within the exocytic and endocytic pathways typically acidify their interiors, a phenomenon that is known to be crucial for their optimal functioning in eukaryotic cells. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of how Golgi acidity is maintained and regulated, and how its misregulation contributes to organelle dysfunction and disease. Both its biosynthetic products (glycans) and protein-sorting events are highly sensitive to changes in Golgi luminal pH and are affected in certain human disease states such as cancers and cutis laxa. Other potential disease states that are caused by, or are associated with, Golgi pH misregulation will also be discussed.

RESUMO

Copper is an essential trace element required by all living organisms. Excess amounts of copper, however, results in cellular damage. Disruptions to normal copper homeostasis are hallmarks of three genetic disorders: Menkes disease, occipital horn syndrome, and Wilson's disease. Menkes disease and occipital horn syndrome are characterized by copper deficiency. Typical features of Menkes disease result from low copper-dependent enzyme activity. Standard treatment involves parenteral administration of copper-histidine. If treatment is initiated before 2 months of age, neurodegeneration can be prevented, while delayed treatment is utterly ineffective. Thus, neonatal mass screening should be implemented. Meanwhile, connective tissue disorders cannot be improved by copper-histidine treatment. Combination therapy with copper-histidine injections and oral administration of disulfiram is being investigated. Occipital horn syndrome characterized by connective tissue abnormalities is the mildest form of Menkes disease. Treatment has not been conducted for this syndrome. Wilson's disease is characterized by copper toxicity that typically affects the hepatic and nervous systems severely. Various other symptoms are observed as well, yet its early diagnosis is sometimes difficult. Chelating agents and zinc are effective treatments, but are inefficient in most patients with fulminant hepatic failure. In addition, some patients with neurological Wilson's disease worsen or show poor response to chelating agents. Since early treatment is critical, a screening system for Wilson's disease should be implemented in infants. Patients with Wilson's disease may be at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma. Understanding the link between Wilson's disease and hepatocellular carcinoma will be beneficial for disease treatment and prevention.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine anesthetic considerations for patients with de Barsy syndrome, a rare complex whose hallmark findings include cutis laxa, progeria, and multiple orthopedic and ophthalmologic abnormalities. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: Medical center. MEASUREMENTS: A search of Mayo Clinic medical records from 1968 to 2007 identified two patients with de Barsy syndrome who underwent a combined total of 35 anesthetics for diagnostic and surgical procedures. Data collected included: age, gender, ASA physical status, relevant comorbidities, surgical procedures, airway management, vascular access, monitoring, anesthetic induction, maintenance, and other observations. MAIN RESULTS: A wide range of anesthetics and techniques were used. Apart from 4 episodes of intraoperative hyperthermia and postoperative tachycardia, no complications were noted. These episodes may be similar to the nonmalignant hyperthermia reported in osteogenesis imperfecta and Costello syndrome patients. CONCLUSIONS: While the safety of any anesthetic technique cannot be established or extrapolated from a small series, given the extreme rarity of the syndrome, these cases suggest the relative safety of anesthesia in de Barsy syndrome patients.
