Case report: multiple fractures in a patient with mutations of TWIST1 and TNSALP.

ABSTRACT: Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by defective skeletal mineralization and low alkaline phosphatase activities in the serum. The genetic cause of hypophosphatasia is believed related to inactivating mutations in the TNSALP gene, encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Another rare inheritable disease, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, leads to premature fusion of the cranial sutures caused by heterozygous mutations of the human TWIST1 gene. Because the two disorders apparently are not genetically related (only reported individually) yet both involve defective skeletal formation, we believe it is important to report our findings on a patient harboring mutations of TNSALP and TWIST1.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Case report of spontaneous, nonspinal fractures in a multiple myeloma patient on long-term pamidronate and zoledronic acid.

Project description:Pamidronate and zoledronic acid are two potent intravenous bisphosphonates used in the treatment of multiple myeloma as well as osteoporosis. While the concern for heightened fracture risk in a patient on long-term bisphosphonate treatment for malignancy has been previously noted, we present the first case of spontaneous, nonspinal fractures in a patient undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma. The patient had a positive 9-year history of bisphosphonate treatment and presented with sequential subtrochanteric stress fractures of the left and right femurs. Pathological reports of fracture site biopsies demonstrate signs consistent with ametabolic bone and no malignancy. These findings point to extreme inhibition of bone turnover by bisphosphonates as the cause of this patient's morbidity. This is a single retrospective case study (level IV evidence).

Management of anesthesia in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta and multiple fractures: a case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) usually also show osteoporosis and bone fragility. Because these defects may also be combined with an airway that is difficult to manage, abnormal platelet function, and other problems, the perioperative management of anesthesia represents a substantial challenge. Therefore, it is important to be able to predict the risks during the perioperative period and to formulate and implement specific high-quality anesthesia management plans for such patients when they experience trauma. We report the case of a 59-year-old female patient with OI who experienced trauma resulting in fractures of the left proximal humerus and right hip. She required open reduction and internal fixation of her humerus and total hip arthroplasty. However, she also had obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and an airway assessment indicated that her airway would be difficult to maintain. General anesthesia combined with a nerve block was administered. An ultrasound-guided bilateral superior laryngeal nerve block and cricothyroid membrane puncture were used to facilitate endotracheal intubation. An ultrasound-guided "hourglass-pattern" fascia iliaca block was performed for perioperative analgesia. The use of a regional block and preparation for the difficult airway access represented important and successful aspects of the management of anesthesia in this patient.

Occipitosacral Fusion for Multiple Vertebral Fractures with Kyphotic Deformity in a Patient with Mutilating Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report.

Project description:Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are well-known complications of rheumatoid arthritis. The management of multiple vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity is controversial. We present a case of a patient with mutilating rheumatoid arthritis who had multiple vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity after occipitothoracic fusion for rheumatoid cervical disorder. Occipitosacral fusion was effective to create stable spine with better sagittal alignment in this case, but careful clinical assessment for early detection and management of postoperative insufficient pelvic fracture were required.

Patient with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency disease and ETFDH mutations benefits from riboflavin therapy: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Lipid storage myopathy (LSM) is a diverse group of lipid metabolic disorders with great variations in the clinical phenotype and age of onset. Classical multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is known to occur secondary to mutations in electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) gene. Whole exome sequencing (WES) with clinical correlations can be useful in identifying genomic alterations for targeted therapy. CASE PRESENTATION:We report a patient presented with severe muscle weakness and exercise intolerance, suggestive of LSM. Diagnostic testing demonstrated lipid accumulation in muscle fibres and elevated plasma acyl carnitine levels. Exome sequencing of the proband and two of his unaffected siblings revealed compound heterozygous mutations, c.250G > A (p.Ala84Thr) and c.770A > G (p.Tyr257Cys) in the ETFDH gene as the probable causative mutations. In addition, a previously unreported variant c.1042C > T (p.Arg348Trp) in ACOT11 gene was found. This missense variant was predicted to be deleterious but its association with lipid storage in muscle is unclear. The diagnosis of MADD was established and the patient was treated with riboflavin which resulted in rapid clinical and biochemical improvement. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings support the role of WES as an effective tool in the diagnosis of highly heterogeneous disease and this has important implications in the therapeutic strategy of LSM treatment.

Case Report: Novel RPGRIP1L Gene Mutations Identified by Whole Exome Sequencing in a Patient With Multiple Primary Tumors.

Project description:A 78 years old Chinese woman with five different cancer types and a family history of malignancy was the subject of this study. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma and gingival squamous cell carcinoma tissues were obtained from the patient and sequenced using Whole Exome Sequencing. Whole exome sequencing identified 20 mutation sites in six candidate genes. Sanger Sequencing was used for further validation. The results verified six mutations in three genes, OBSCN, TTN, and RPGRIP1L, in at least one cancer type. Immunohistochemistry was used to verify protein expression. mRNA expression analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas database revealed that RPGRIP1L was highly expressed in several cancer types, especially in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and correlated with patient survival and sensitivity to paclitaxel, probably through the TGF-β signaling pathway. The newly identified somatic mutations in RPGRIP1L might contribute to pathogenesis in the patients. Protein conformation simulation demonstrated that the alterations had caused the binding pocket at position 708 to change from concave to convex, which could restrict contraction and extension, and interfere with the physiological function of the protein. Further studies are required to determine the implication of RPGRIP1L in this family and in multiple primary tumors.

Simultaneous bilateral hip fractures following a simple fall in an elderly patient: A case report.

Project description:Bilateral fractured necks of femur are rare, particularly in the absence of high energy trauma or metabolic bone disease. We describe a case of an 89 year old man with no history of metabolic bone disease who presented with bilateral neck of femur fractures following a simple fall. Clinicians must be vigilant to ensure that bilateral neck of femur fractures are identified and treated appropriately.

A Patient with Bone Fragility, Multiple Fractures, Osteosarcoma, and the Variant c.143A>G in the <i>IFITM5</i> Gene: A Case Report.

Project description:Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic skeletal disorders, with a prevalence of 1 in 15,000-20,000 births. OI type V has been described in approximately 150 cases and all patients carry the variant (c.-14C> T) in the IFITM5 gene. However, two other variants, p.S40L and p.N48S have been reported in this gene, leading to clinical phenotypes different from OI type V. Here we described a patient with multiple bone fractures, scoliosis, skull alteration (plagiocephaly), bone deformation, bone rickets, and intramedullary epithelioid osteosarcoma that bears the recently reported heterozygous variant c.143A>G (p.N48S) in the IFITM5 gene. This case supports the pathogenicity of this new variant in the IFITM5 gene and adds information regarding its clinical phenotype.

Hypodiploidy in a pediatric patient of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a case report

Project description:We report clinical and genetic findings of a 14-year-old male with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with low-hypodiploidy. The medical history included neck pain for a month, facial nerve palsy on the right side for 6 days, fever, drowsiness, and weakness for 3 days, vomiting, diarrhea for 1 day. The physical examination presented features of hypovolemia, palsy of the facial nerve on the right side, enlarged lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly, sore throat, and petechiae of the skin. Radiological images indicated lesions of different organs. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed precursor T-ALL. In the FISH tests, KMT2A and BCR/ABL1 rearrangements were not observed. GTG banding revealed 3 cell clones, which confirmed the hypodiploidy. Multiplex RT-qPCR was performed. STIL/TAL1 (del1p32) gene rearrangement was found in the blast cells. Additional tests were performed using the CytoScan HD microarray technique. Molecular karyotype did not reveal hypodiploidy, but identified other abnormalities such as duplication of chromosomal regions: 4q25q35.2, 6p23.3p11.1 and 8p23.3q24.21, and the loss of heterozygosity of short arm chromosome 9. In two regions of the chromosome biallelic deletions were found at 9p21.3, including the CDKN2A, CDKN2B, IFNA1, MTAP genes and at 10q23.31, containing PTEN. The child died 9 days after diagnosis. Bone marrow biopsy, GTG banding, FISH techniques, and molecular karyotyping were used to make an accurate diagnosis. This case documents a rapid progression of the disease and unfavorable results of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with hypodiploidy.
