Pure duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 15 with ebstein anomaly and clavicular anomaly.

ABSTRACT: This report is of a patient with pure trisomy of 15q24-qter who presents with the rare Ebstein anomaly and a previously unreported skeletal anomaly. Chromosome microarray analysis allowed high-resolution identification of the extent of the trisomy and provided a means of achieving higher-resolution breakpoint data. The phenotypic expression of unbalanced chromosomal regions is a complex phenomenon, and fine mapping of the involved region, as described here, is only a first step on the path to its full understanding. Overexpression of the LINGO-1 and CSPG4 genes has been implicated in developmental delay seen in other patients with trisomy of 15q24-qter, but our patient is currently too young to ascertain developmental progress. The genetic underpinning of Ebstein anomaly and the skeletal anomaly reported here is unclear based on our high-resolution dosage mapping.

Project description:BackgroundEbstein's anomaly occurs when there is an apical displacement of the tricuspid valve with septal and posterior valve leaflets tethering. This condition often occurs in association with other congenital, structural, or conduction system diseases, including intracardiac shunts, valvular lesions, arrhythmias, accessory conduction pathways, and first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. We present for the first time a case of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly who presented with second-degree Mobitz II AV block and was successfully treated with conduction system pacing (CSP) due to her young age and the likelihood of a long-term high percentage of pacing.Case summaryWe present a case of a 42-year-old lady with a background of complex congenital heart disease, including severe pulmonary stenosis, Ebstein anomaly, and atrial septal defect (ASD). She required complex surgical intervention, including tricuspid valve (TV) repair and subsequently replacement, ASD closure, and pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty. She presented to our hospital with symptomatic second-degree Mobitz II AV block (dizziness, shortness of breath, and exercise intolerance) and right bundle branch block (RBBB) on her baseline ECG. Her echocardiogram showed dilated right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) with low normal LV systolic function. Due to her young age and the likelihood of a long-term high percentage of RV pacing, we opted for CSP after a detailed discussion and patient consent. The distal HIS position is the preferred pacing strategy at our centre. We could not cross the TV with the standard Medtronic C315 HIS catheter, so we had to use the deflectable C304 HIS catheter. Mapping and pacing of the distal HIS bundle were achieved by Medtronic Selectsecure 3830, 69 cm lead. HIS bundle pacing led to the correction of both second-degree Mobitz II AV block and pre-existing RBBB. The implantation was uneventful, and the patient was discharged home the next day without any acute complications.DiscussionDistal HIS pacing is feasible in patients with surgically treated complex Ebstein anomaly and heart block. This approach can normalize the QRS complex with a high probability of preserving or improving LV function.
