Clinical manifestation and genetic findings in three boys with low molecular Weight Proteinuria - three case reports for exploring Dent Disease and Fanconi syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dent disease is an X-linked form of progressive renal disease. This rare disorder was characterized by hypercalciuria, low molecular weight (LMW) proteinuria and proximal tubular dysfunction, caused by pathogenic variants in CLCN5 (Dent disease 1) or OCRL (Dent disease 2) genes. Fanconi syndrome is a consequence of decreased water and solute resorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Fanconi syndrome caused by proximal tubular dysfunction such as Dent disease might occur in early stage of the disease.

Case presentation

Three cases reported in this study were 3-, 10- and 14-year-old boys, and proteinuria was the first impression in all the cases. All the boys presented with LMW proteinuria and elevated urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Case 1 revealed a pathogenic variant in exon 11 of CLCN5 gene [NM_001127899; c.1444delG] and a nonsense mutation at nucleotide 1509 [p.L503*], and he was diagnosed as Dent disease 1. Case 2 carried a deletion of exon 3 and 4 of OCRL1 gene [NM_000276.4; c.120-238delG^…A] and a nonsense mutation at nucleotide 171 in exon 5 [p.E57*], and this boy was diagnosed as Dent disease 2. Genetic analysis of Case 3 showed a missense mutation located in exon 2 of HNF4A gene [EF591040.1; c.253C?>?T; p.R85W] which is responsible for Fanconi syndrome. All of three pathogenic variants were not registered in GenBank.

Conclusions

Urine protein electrophoresis should be performed for patients with proteinuria. When patients have LMW proteinuria and/or hypercalciuria, definite diagnosis and identification of Dent disease and Fanconi syndrome requires further genetic analyses.

Project description:RATIONALE:Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is a rare endocrine disease characterized by repeated fasting hypoglycemia or episodes of hypoglycemia late after meals, elevated serum insulin, and positivity for insulin autoantibody (IAA) or insulin receptor antibody (IRA). We summarize the clinical manifestations and treatment experiences of 3 patients with IAS. PATIENT CONCERNS:One patient with >20-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus had irregular episodes of hypoglycemia 2 years of after treatment with insulin. Another patient with a 6-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented irregular episodes of hypoglycemia after 6 months of treatment with insulin. One patient with a history of Graves' disease showed hypoglycemia after administration of thiamazole. DIAGNOSIS:Serum islet cell antibody (ICA) and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) were negative, while antibody insulin autoantibodies were positive in all the 3 patients. Two patients demonstrated diabetes mellitus after an oral glucose tolerance test, while one had normal glucose tolerance. Furthermore, serum insulin levels significantly elevated and did not matched C peptide levels. No abnormalities were found on enhanced MRI of the pancreas, and all 3 patients were clinically diagnosed with IAS. INTERVENTIONS:In case one, insulin aspart 30 injection was withdrawn after admission. In addition, the patient was prescribed sublingual acarbose 3 times daily. Two weeks after admission, prednisone acetate was administered orally once daily at night. In case 2, insulin aspart 30 injection was withdrawn after admission, the patient was prescribed sublingual acarbose 3 times daily with a meal. Five days after admission, oral prednisone acetate was administered once daily at night. In case 3, oral propylthiouracil was prescribed and thiamazole withdrawn after admission, and the patient consumed an extra meal before sleeping. OUTCOMES:At the 3-month follow-up visit, the hypoglycemic episodes had disappeared, serum insulin levels were significantly decreased, and insulin antibody (IA) levels were no longer detectable in all 3 patients. LESSONS:For those patients with high-insulin hypoglycemia, IAA should be evaluated if serum insulin concentrations are inconsistent with C peptide levels. Therapeutically, a lower dose of glucocorticoids with more appropriate medication timing can be used to achieve good results.

Project description:IntroductionMultiple wasp stings is an emergency result from systemic reactions to the toxin with a wide range of manifestations, and we presented 2 patients with distinct clinical and transcriptomic findings.Patient concernsTwo patients without systemic disease presented with nearly 90 painful papules after attacked by a swarm of wasps (Vespa basalis).DiagnosisPatient 1 was a 44-year-old healthy male whose clinical manifestations mainly comprised hemolysis, hepatic injury, rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury. Patient 2 was a 49-year-old healthy female who presented with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in addition to certain clinical manifestations that were also found in patient 1. We used ribo- nucleic acid sequencing (RNA-Seq) to characterize the inflammatory responses of 2 patients with distinct clinical manifestations after multiple wasp stings.InterventionsBoth 2 patients received 5 sessions of plasmapheresis, and patient-1 further received mechanical ventilation for 8 days as well as 8 sessions of hemodialysis until day 17.OutcomesBoth patients recovered uneventfully after the aforementioned management. We used RNA-Seq to demonstrate a largely regulated neutrophil-predominated immune response in patient 1. In patient 2, we found a profound neutrophilc response on week 1 and a robust neutrophilic as well as pro-inflammatory responses on week 2. Furthermore, we found increased expression of signals that were associated with renal system process on week 2.ConclusionIn conclusion, we report 2 patients who manifested with shared and distinct presentations after an attack by the same swarm of wasps. Both patients had hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, hepatic injury and acute kidney injury, and 1 patient had ARDS. The whole transcriptomic analyses were consistent with the distinct clinical manifestation, and these results suggest the potential of RNA-Sequencing to disentangle complex inflammatory responses in patients with multiple wasp stings. Plasmapheresis and corticosteroid were administered to both patients and case 2 also underwent 8 sessions of hemodialysis.
