Genetic mapping of the Camurati-Engelmann disease locus to chromosome 19q13.1-q13.3.

ABSTRACT: Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED [MIM 131300]), or progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, is an autosomal dominant sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by progressive bone formation along the periosteal and endosteal surfaces at the diaphyseal and metaphyseal regions of long bones and cranial hyperostosis, particularly at the skull base. The gene for CED, or its chromosomal localization, has not yet been identified. We performed a genomewide linkage analysis of two unrelated Japanese families with CED, in which a total of 27 members were available for this study; 16 of them were affected with the disease. Two-point linkage analysis revealed a maximum LOD score of 7.41 (recombination fraction.00; penetrance 1.00) for the D19S918 microsatellite marker locus. Haplotype analysis revealed that all the affected individuals shared a common haplotype observed, in each family, between D19S881 and D19S606, at chromosome 19q13.1-q13.3. These findings, together with a genetic distance among the marker loci, indicate that the CED locus can be assigned to a 15.1-cM segment between D19S881 and D19S606.

Project description:BackgroundCamurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare genetic skeletal disorder characterized by limb pain, muscle emaciation and weakness, and cortical thickening of the diaphysis of long bones. It is caused by mutations in the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) (type I) or other unknown gene(s) (type II). We present 8 consecutive patients with type I CED.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical records and radiographs of type I CED patients with special reference to the mode of presentation, process of diagnostic work-up, and disease course. They were 4 sporadic patients, and two pairs of mother and son.ResultsWe categorized the mode of presentation into three groups. Group I had 4 patients who mainly presented with motor disturbances in young age. They drew medical attention for waddling gait, awkward ambulation or running, difficulty in going upstairs, or a positive Gower's sign at age 4 to 6 years. Subsequent development of limb pain and radiographic abnormality led to the diagnosis of CED at age 6 to 29 years. Group II had 3 patients who mainly presented with limb pain at age 15, 20, and 54 years, respectively. Radiographic evaluation and molecular genetic test led to the diagnosis of CED. The remaining 1 patient (group III) was asymptomatic until age 9 years when bony lesions at the tibiae were found incidentally. For the last 10 years, he intermittently complained of leg pain in the morning or after sports activities, which did not interfere with daily life. All the patients in group I showed a body mass index in the underweight range (< 18.4 kg/m2). At the latest follow-up, 4 patients in groups I and II required medication for the limb pain.ConclusionsCED presents with a wide range of severity. Awareness of this rare disease entity may be the key to timely correct diagnosis. This disease entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of limb pain or motor disturbance in children to avoid unnecessary diagnostic work-up.

Project description:BackgroundCamurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a sclerosing bone dysplasia caused by transforming growth factor β1 (TGFB1) gene variants.ObjectiveWe aim to summarize the clinical characteristics and the efficacy of glucocorticoids in 14 individuals with CED, and explore the correlation between the phenotype and the SNP of rs1800470 (c.29C>T).MethodsClinical, biochemical, radiological, and therapeutic data were collected from 14 patients. DNA was extracted for TGFB1 variants detection by Sanger sequencing.ResultsThe median onset and record age were 3.0 and 16.1 years, respectively. All patients manifested bone pain and decreased subcutaneous fat tissue. Inflammatory markers increased in over 60% of patients, and the median erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 1.40 (0.50~3.67) of the upper limit of normal (ULN), and the median high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) was 1.71 (0.48~12.56) of ULN. There was a positive correlation between ESR and hsCRP (rs=0.806, p=0.003). Both ESR and hsCRP were negatively correlated with the levels of hemoglobin (HGB), calcium, and creatinine, but positively correlated with the level of alkaline phosphatase. Four known variants of TGFB1 were identified, including p.Tyr171Cys, p.Arg218Cys, p.Arg218His, and p.Cys225Arg. Moreover, 35.7% and 28.6% of them carried the heterozygous and homozygous SNP of c.29C>T, called C/T and T/T groups, respectively, but 35.7% of them were without c.29C>T (C/C group). The onset age, anthropometric data, percentages of different clinical manifestations, and biochemical parameters were comparable among the three groups. But there were increasing trends in levels of HGB and calcium and decreasing trends in ESR and hsCRP among C/C, C/T, and T/T groups in turn. Glucocorticoid improves the two inflammatory markers among CED patients.ConclusionThe phenotype of CED is highly heterogeneous. There is no clear genotype-phenotype correlation, but it seems to have better trends of biochemical parameters in patients with CED carrying the T allele of rs1800470.
