Prenatal findings in a fetus with X-linked recessive type of chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX1): a case report with novel mutation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:X-linked recessive chondrodysplasia punctate (CDPX1) is a rare congenital disorder of bone and cartilage development, caused by a mutation in the arylsulfatase E (ARSE) gene located on chromosome Xp22.3. Although most of the affected men had mild symptoms, some had more severe symptoms, and had a poor prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION:We present the case of a male fetus diagnosed with CDPX1. Ultrasound clearly showed that hypoplasia of the midface, flatness of face, low flatness of the nose, collapse of the tip of the nose, accompanied by severe spinal stenosis and secondary ossification center of the femoral metaphysis appeared in advance. Chromosome analysis of the amniotic fluid cells revealed 46, XY. Whole exome sequencing showed that there was a novel missense mutation of c.640G?>?A in ARSE gene on X chromosome. Three protein function prediction software FATHMM?Polyphen-2?PROVEAN have shown that the novel missense mutation of c.640G?>?A in this study was pathogenic. CONCLUSIONS:Our case is a novel mutation and presents a typical characterization of the disease, which can expand the spectrum of mutations of the ARSE gene and is helpful for prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of this disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND: To describe the neurologic profiles of Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP); a peroxisomal disorder clinically characterized by skeletal abnormalities, congenital cataracts, severe growth and developmental impairments and immobility of joints. Defective plasmalogen biosynthesis is the main biochemical feature. METHODS: Observational study including review of clinical and biochemical abnormalities, genotype, presence of seizures and neurophysiological studies of a cohort of 16 patients with RCDP. RESULTS: Patients with the severe phenotype nearly failed to achieve any motor or cognitive skills, whereas patients with the milder phenotype had profound intellectual disability but were able to walk and had verbal communication skills. Eighty-eight percent of patients developed epileptic seizures. The age of onset paralleled the severity of the clinical and biochemical phenotype. Myoclonic jerks, followed by atypical absences were most frequently observed. All patients with clinical seizures had interictal encephalographic evidence of epilepsy. Visual evoked (VEP) and brain auditory potential (BAEP) studies showed initial normal latency times in 93% of patients. Deterioration of VEP occurred in a minority in both the severe and the milder phenotype. BAEP and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) were more likely to become abnormal in the severe phenotype. Plasmalogens were deficient in all patients. In the milder phenotype levels of plasmalogens were significantly higher in erythrocytes than in the severe phenotype. Phytanic acid levels ranged from normal to severely increased, but had no relation with the neurological phenotype. CONCLUSION: Neurodevelopmental deficits and age-related occurrence of seizures are characteristic of RCDP and are related to the rest-activity in plasmalogen biosynthesis. Evoked potential studies are more likely to become abnormal in the severe phenotype, but are of no predictive value in single cases of RCDP.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Chondrodysplasia punctata is a skeletal dysplasia caused by a diverse spectrum of etiologies, with outcomes ranging from antenatal demise to a normal life span. Prenatal detection can be challenging. OBJECTIVE:To review a series of cases of chondrodysplasia punctata associated with nasomaxillary hypoplasia, known as the Binder phenotype, and to highlight prenatal ultrasound and MRI findings, as well as postnatal MRI and radiographic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed ultrasound, MRI and radiographic imaging findings in postnatally confirmed cases of chondrodysplasia punctata from 2001 to 2017. We analyzed prenatal findings and correlated them with maternal history, postnatal imaging, phenotype, genetics and outcome. RESULTS:We identified eight cases, all with prenatal US and six of eight with prenatal MRI between 18 weeks and 32 weeks of gestational age. Reasons for referral included midface hypoplasia in four cases; family history in one case; intrauterine growth restriction in one case; short long-bones, intrauterine growth restriction and multicystic kidney in one case; and multiple anomalies in one case. In six cases, postnatal radiographs were performed. In four cases, postnatal spine MRI imaging was performed. The diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata was suggested in prenatal reports in six of eight fetuses. Seven of eight fetuses had Binder phenotype with severe nasomaxillary hypoplasia. Limb length was mildly symmetrically short in four of eight cases and normal in four of eight fetuses. Two of eight fetuses had epiphyseal stippling identified prenatally by US; this was present postnatally in six neonates on radiographs. Hand and foot abnormalities of brachytelephalangy were not detected on the prenatal US or MRI but were present in six of eigth fetuses on postnatal radiographs or physical exam. Four of eight fetuses had prenatal spine irregularity on US from subtle stippling. Six of eight had spine stippling on postnatal radiographs. One fetus had cervicothoracic kyphosis on prenatal US and MRI, and this was postnatally present in one additional neonate. One case had prenatally suspected C1 spinal stenosis with possible cord compression, and this was confirmed postnatally by MRI. There was a maternal history of systemic lupus erythematosus in two and hyperemesis gravidarum in one. Outcomes included one termination and seven survivors. CONCLUSION:Chondrodysplasia punctata can be identified prenatally but findings are often subtle. The diagnosis should be considered when a fetus presents with a hypoplastic midface known as the Binder phenotype. Maternal history of lupus, or other autoimmune diseases or hyperemesis gravidarum can help support the diagnosis.
