Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy as Prenatal Ultrasound Findings in a Case of Leprechaunism.

ABSTRACT: Donohue syndrome (leprechaunism; OMIM *246200) is a rare and often lethal autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the INSR gene. We report the case of a 29-year-old pregnant woman, primigravida, who was referred at 33 weeks of gestation for severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Ultrasound examination found severe IUGR associated with an obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), confirmed postnatally. The newborn's blood glucose level fluctuated from fasting hypoglycemia to postprandial hyperglycemia. The infant was found to be homozygous for a novel missense pathogenic variant, c.632C>T (p.T211l), in exon 2 of the INSR gene, predicted to result in an abnormal insulin receptor. To our knowledge, this is the first report of leprechaunism being revealed by IUGR and HCM during the prenatal period. Clinicians should keep in mind that the association of these prenatal signs could indicate leprechaunism and specific early neonatal management could be proposed, in particular with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I.

Household air pollution, ultrasound measurement, fetal biometric parameters and intrauterine growth restriction.

Project description:BackgroundLow birthweight, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and perinatal mortality have been associated with air pollution. However, intervention studies that use ultrasound measurements to assess the effects of household air pollution (HAP) on fetal biometric parameters (FBP) are rare. We investigated the effect of a cookstove intervention on FBP and IUGR in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) cohort of HAP-exposed pregnant Nigerian women.MethodsWe recruited 324 women early in the second trimester of pregnancy. Between 16 and 18 weeks, we randomized them to either continue cooking with firewood/kerosene (control group) or receive a CleanCook stove and ethanol fuel (intervention group). We measured fetal biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), femur length (FL), abdominal circumference (AC) and ultrasound-estimated fetal weight (U-EFW) in the second and third trimesters. The women were clinically followed up at six regular time points during their pregnancies. Once during the women's second trimester and once during the third, we made 72-h continuous measurements of their personal exposures to particulate matter having aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5). We adopted a modified intent-to-treat approach for the analysis. Differences between the intervention and control groups on impact of HAP on fetal growth trajectories were analyzed using mixed effects regression models.ResultsThere were no significant differences in fetal growth trajectories between the intervention and control groups.ConclusionsLarger studies in a setting of low ambient air pollution are required to further investigate the effect of transitioning to a cleaner fuel such as ethanol on intrauterine growth.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02394574 ; September 2012.

Postnatal Anthropometric and Body Composition Profiles in Infants with Intrauterine Growth Restriction Identified by Prenatal Doppler.

Project description:IntroductionInfant anthropometry and body composition have been previously assessed to gauge the impact of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at birth, but the interplay between prenatal Doppler measurements and postnatal development has not been studied in this setting. The present investigation was performed to assess the significance of prenatal Doppler findings relative to postnatal anthropometrics and body composition in IUGR newborns over the first 12 months of life.Patients and methodsConsecutive cases of singleton pregnancies with suspected IUGR were prospectively enrolled over 12 months. Fetal biometry and prenatal Doppler ultrasound examinations were performed. Body composition was assessed by absorptiometry at ages 10 days, and at 4 and 12 months.ResultsA total of 48 pregnancies qualifying as IUGR were studied. Doppler parameters were normal in 26 pregnancies. The remaining 22 deviated from normal, marked by an Umbilical Artery Pulsatility Index (UA-PI) >95th centil or Cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) <5th centile. No significant differences emerged when comparing anthropometry and body composition at each time point, in relation to Doppler findings. Specifically, those IUGR newborns with and without abnormal Doppler findings had similar weight, length, body mass index, lean and fat mass, and bone mineral content throughout the first 12 months of life. In a separate analysis, when comparing IUGR newborns by Doppler (abnormal UA-PI vs. abnormal CPR), anthropometry and body composition did not differ significantly.ConclusionsInfants with IUGR maintain a pattern of body composition during the first year of life that is independent of prenatal Doppler findings. Future studies with larger sample sizes and correlating with hormonal status are warranted to further extend the phenotypic characterization of the various conditions now classified under the common label of IUGR.

Prenatal transcript levels and metabolomics analyses reveal metabolic changes associated with intrauterine growth restriction and sex.

Project description:The metabolic changes associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) particularly affect the liver, which is a central metabolic organ and contributes significantly to the provision of energy and specific nutrients and metabolites. Therefore, our aim was to decipher and elucidate the molecular pathways of developmental processes mediated by miRNAs and mRNAs, as well as the metabolome in fetal liver tissue in IUGR compared to appropriate for gestational age groups (AGA). Discordant siblings representing the extremes in fetal weight at day 63 post conception (dpc) were selected from F2 fetuses of a cross of German Landrace and Pietrain. Most of the changes in the liver of IUGR at midgestation involved various lipid metabolic pathways, both on transcript and metabolite levels, especially in the category of sphingolipids and phospholipids. Differentially expressed miRNAs, such as miR-34a, and their differentially expressed mRNA targets were identified. Sex-specific phenomena were observed at both the transcript and metabolite levels, particularly in male. This suggests that sex-specific adaptations in the metabolic system occur in the liver during midgestation (63 dpc). Our multi-omics network analysis reveals interactions and changes in the metabolic system associated with IUGR and identified an important biosignature that differs between IUGR and AGA piglets.

Prenatal Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Novel MicroRNA-mRNA Networks Associated with Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Pigs.

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurs in 15-20% of pig neonates and poses huge economic losses to the pig industry. IUGR piglets have reduced skeletal muscle growth, which may persist after birth. Prenatal muscle growth is regulated by complex molecular pathways that are not well understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as the main regulators of vital pathways and biological processes in the body. This study was designed to identify miRNA-mRNA networks regulating prenatal skeletal muscle development in pigs. We performed an integrative miRNA-mRNA transcriptomic analysis in longissimus dorsi muscle from IUGR fetuses and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses at 63 days post conception. Our data showed that 47 miRNAs and 3257 mRNAs were significantly upregulated, and six miRNAs and 477 mRNAs were significantly downregulated in IUGR compared to AGA fetuses. Moreover, 47 upregulated miRNAs were negatively correlated and can potentially target 326 downregulated genes, whereas six downregulated miRNAs were negatively correlated and can potentially target 1291 upregulated genes. These miRNA-mRNA networks showed enrichment in biological processes and pathways critical for fetal growth, development, and metabolism. The miRNA-mRNA networks identified in this study can potentially serve as indicators of prenatal fetal growth and development as well as postnatal carcass quality.

Meier-Gorlin syndrome with prenatal ultrasound findings and successful growth hormone therapy: Six years follow-up of a rare case.

Project description:Meire-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of short stature, microtia, and absent or hypoplastic patella. We report a 5-year-old male affected with the subtype MGS1, secondary to c.c2292t mutation of ORC1 gene. Our patient's features included a triangular face, micrognathia, and delayed motor development. To the edge of our knowledge, this is the first diagnosed Iranian MGS patient and sixth case in the middle east. MGS1 subtype has never shown improvement to growth hormone therapy, therefore underlying molecular defect was suggested to be responsible for patients' short stature rather than growth hormone deficiency. However, our patients' growth velocity was improved by growth hormone. We recommend more studies to specify the role of ORC1 gene in this syndrome. In addition, this case report describes the prenatal investigations and sonographic examinations of MGS1 for the first time.

Placenta Transcriptome Profiling in Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR).

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a serious pathological complication associated with compromised fetal development during pregnancy. The aim of the study was to broaden knowledge about the transcriptomic complexity of the human placenta by identifying genes potentially involved in IUGR pathophysiology. RNA-Seq data were used to profile protein-coding genes, detect alternative splicing events (AS), single nucleotide variant (SNV) calling, and RNA editing sites prediction in IUGR-affected placental transcriptome. The applied methodology enabled detection of 37,501 transcriptionally active regions and the selection of 28 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs), among them 10 were upregulated and 18 downregulated in IUGR-affected placentas. Functional enrichment annotation indicated that most of the DEGs were implicated in the processes of inflammation and immune disorders related to IUGR and preeclampsia. Additionally, we revealed that some genes (S100A13, GPR126, CTRP1, and TFPI) involved in the alternation of splicing events were mainly implicated in angiogenic-related processes. Significant SNVs were overlapped with 6533 transcripts and assigned to 2386 coding sequence (CDS), 1528 introns, 345 5' untranslated region (UTR), 1260 3'UTR, 918 non-coding RNA (ncRNA), and 10 intergenic regions. Within CDS regions, 543 missense substitutions with functional effects were recognized. Two known mutations (rs4575, synonymous; rs3817, on the downstream region) were detected within the range of AS and DEG candidates: PA28β and PINLYP, respectively. Novel genes that are dysregulated in IUGR were detected in the current research. Investigating genes underlying the IUGR is crucial for identification of mechanisms regulating placental development during a complicated pregnancy.

Late onset apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundApical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy provides diagnostic challenges through varying presentation, impaired visualization on echocardiography and dissent on diagnostic criteria. While hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in general requires an absolute wall thickness ≥15 mm, a threshold for relative apical hypertrophy (ratio 1.5) has been proposed.Case summaryWe report the case of a 57-year-old man with newly arisen chest pain and slight T-wave inversions. Serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging over 9 years documented the gradual evolvement of late-onset apical hypertrophy with apical fibrosis and strain abnormalities. Symptoms, electrocardiographic changes, and relative apical hypertrophy preceded the traditional imaging criteria of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.DiscussionRelative apical hypertrophy can be an early manifestation of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Persistent cardiac signs and symptoms warrant a follow-up, as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can evolve over time. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging readily visualizes apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and associated changes in tissue composition and function.
