Poikiloderma With Neutropenia and Mastocytosis: A Case Report and a Review of Dermatological Signs.

ABSTRACT: Poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN) is a very rare genetic disorder mainly characterized by poikiloderma and congenital neutropenia, which explains the recurrence of respiratory infections and risk of developing bronchiectasis. Patients are also prone to develop hematological and skin cancers. Here, we present the case of a patient, the only child of apparently unrelated Serbian parents, affected by PN resulting from the homozygous mutation NM_024598.3:c.243G>A (p.Trp81Ter) of USB1; early onset of poikiloderma (1 year of age) was associated with cutaneous mastocytosis. We also provide a review of the literature on this uncommon condition with a focus on dermatological findings.

Case Report: Diverse phenotypes of congenital poikiloderma associated with <i>FAM111B</i> mutations in codon 628: A case report and literature review.

Project description:Congenital poikiloderma is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic syndrome, characterized by a combination of early onset poikiloderma, telangiectasia, and epidermal atrophy. FAM111B gene with multiple mutations has been identified as a potential causative gene for congenital poikiloderma. In this report, we described a boy with congenital poikiloderma confirmed by clinical manifestations. Next-generation sequencing based on a gene probe panel consisting of 541 genetic loci of genodermatoses, was used to screen mutations of the proband and his parents. Results showed that a missense mutation in the FAM111B gene c.1883G>A (rs587777238) was identified in the proband, but absent in his parents, indicating the mutation is de novo. In conclusion, a new case of congenital poikiloderma in China was reported, and the hotspot mutations in codon 628 of FAM111B gene was reviewed, as well as authenticating the uncertain association between genotypes and phenotypes in this rare disease.

Case Report: Treatment of systemic mastocytosis with sunitinib.

Project description:Mast cell activation disease typically presents as chronic multisystem polymorbidity of generally inflammatory ± allergic theme. Presently, treatment of the rare, cytoproliferative variant systemic mastocytosis employs empirically selected therapies to impede mast cell mediator production and action and, when necessary, inhibition of proliferation. Some tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been used successfully in uncommon cases of systemic mastocytosis not bearing that disease's usual imatinib-resistant KIT D816V mutation. Recently, sunitinib, a multi-targeted TKI, had been successful in a case of systemic mast cell activation syndrome. In addition, most allergy is principally a mast cell activation phenomenon, and sunitinib has been shown helpful in controlling a murine model of oral allergy syndrome. Here, we present the first use of sunitinib in systemic mastocytosis.

Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

Rare gastrointestinal presentation of systemic mastocytosis, a case report.

Project description:IntroductionSystemic mastocytosis is a rare disease resulting from infiltration of atypical mast cells in multiple organ systems and present with variety of symptoms. Primary appendiceal and cecal mass with isolated abdominal pain as a presenting feature in systemic mastocytosis have not been reported in literature up to now.Case reportWe described a 69- years-old female with systemic mastocytosis who presented with chronic abdominal pain and recent progression. On imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a mass in cecum. The patient underwent surgery and histopathologic evaluation of cecal and appendiceal masses revealed uniform small round cell tumor with eosinophilic cytoplasm admixed with many eosinophils distorting normal colonic mucosal architecture. The neoplastic cells showed positive expression of CD117 and Mast cell tryptase. According to all these considerations systemic mastocytosis was confirmed as the diagnosis.ConclusionIsolated abdominal pain and primary large intestinal mass are uncommon features of systemic mastocytosis. This case report informed physicians and pathologists to consider it as one of differential diagnosis.

Nine Syndrome: Case Report and Review of Clinical Signs in Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia.

Project description:The pathologic involvement of brainstem and midbrain nuclei and white matter tracts in various combinations may result in a spectrum of arithmetically derived syndromes. They include 'one and a half syndrome', 'eight and a half syndrome' and 'fifteen and a half syndrome'. We report a case of 'nine syndrome', which has been reported more recently, caused by caused by acute pontine infarcts and characterised clinically by a combination of internuclear ophthalmolplegia, ipsilateral horizontal gaze palsy, lower motor neuron type of facial palsy, contralateral hemiparesis and hemianesthesia. We highlight the genesis of this combination of clinical signs, revisit the different variants of INO and review the literature on 'Nine syndrome'.

Dental, dermatological and radiographic findings in a case of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome: report and review.

Project description:Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. The disease shows multiple organ involvement with variable clinical presentation. Thus a multidisciplinary approach is required for its prompt clinical diagnosis and management of this condition. This paper highlights a case of GGS presenting in a young male patient with cranial, facial, dermatological, dental and skeletal involvement. The diagnosis of the syndrome was based on its clinical presentation, radiological features and histopathological findings. A review of the diagnostic criteria is also presented.

Identification of a novel C16orf57 mutation in Athabaskan patients with Poikiloderma with Neutropenia.

Project description:Poikiloderma with Neutropenia (PN), Clericuzio-Type (OMIM #604173) is characterized by poikiloderma, chronic neutropenia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, bronchiectasis, and nail dystrophy. First described by Clericuzio in 1991 in 14 patients of Navajo descent, it has since also been described in non-Navajo patients. C16orf57 has recently been identified as a causative gene in PN. The purpose of our study was to describe a spectrum of C16orf57 mutations in a cohort of PN patients including five patients of Athabaskan (Navajo and Apache) ancestry. Eleven patients from eight kindreds were enrolled in an IRB-approved study at Baylor College of Medicine. Five patients were of Athabaskan ancestry. PCR amplification and sequencing of the entire coding region of the C16orf57 gene was performed on genomic DNA. We identified biallelic C16orf57 mutations in all 11 PN patients in our cohort. The seven new deleterious mutations consisted of deletion (2), nonsense (3), and splice site (2) mutations. The patients of Athabaskan ancestry all had a common deletion mutation (c.496delA) which was not found in the six non-Athabaskan patients. Mutations in the C16orf57 gene have been identified thus far in all patients studied with a clinical diagnosis of PN. We have identified seven new mutations in C16orf57 in PN patients. One of these is present in all patients of Athabaskan descent, suggesting that c.496delA represents the PN-causative mutation in this subpopulation.

Targeted next-generation sequencing appoints c16orf57 as clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia gene.

Project description:Next-generation sequencing is a straightforward tool for the identification of disease genes in extended genomic regions. Autozygosity mapping was performed on a five-generation inbred Italian family with three siblings affected with Clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN [MIM %604173]), a rare autosomal-recessive genodermatosis characterised by poikiloderma, pachyonychia, and chronic neutropenia. The siblings were initially diagnosed as affected with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS [MIM #268400]), with which PN shows phenotypic overlap. Linkage analysis on all living subjects of the family identified a large 16q region inherited identically by descent (IBD) in all affected family members. Deep sequencing of this 3.4 Mb region previously enriched with array capture revealed a homozygous c.504-2 A>C mismatch in all affected siblings. The mutation destroys the invariant AG acceptor site of intron 4 of the evolutionarily conserved C16orf57 gene. Two distinct deleterious mutations (c.502A>G and c.666_676+1del12) identified in an unrelated PN patient confirmed that the C16orf57 gene is responsible for PN. The function of the predicted C16orf57 gene is unknown, but its product has been shown to be interconnected to RECQL4 protein via SMAD4 proteins. The unravelled clinical and genetic identity of PN allows patients to undergo genetic testing and follow-up.
