Valproate-induced Fanconi syndrome in a 27-year-old woman.

ABSTRACT: Valproate-induced Fanconi Syndrome (VFS) is a rare complication of this therapy that has been previously described only in children with epilepsy. We report the first known case of an adult with VFS. Metabolic derangements lead patients to present with fatigue, confusion, weakness, and even bone fractures. Identification and discontinuation of the offending agent is the treatment of choice and helps confirm the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of surveillance for metabolic derangements among patients on long term therapy with this commonly prescribed medication.

A 27-Year-Old Woman With Postpartum Papillary Muscle Rupture.

Project description:Postpartum papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is extremely uncommon and tolerated poorly with limited management options other than emergency surgical intervention. This case demonstrates the challenges of postpartum PMR in a young woman with unrecognized vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and highlights the importance of preconception screening of cardiovascular disease. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Pharmacogenetic analysis of irreversible severe cisplatin-induced nephropathy: a case report of a 27-year-old woman.

Project description:In this report we describe a young patient diagnosed with bulky FIGO stage IIIb squamous cell cervix carcinoma with severe and irreversible nephropathy after three weekly low-doses of cisplatin. Besides several known risk factors such as hypomagnesemia and hypoalbuminemia, the patient also proved to be homozygously polymorphic for two polymorphisms within the COMT gene (c.615 + 310C>T and c.616-367C>T). As COMT polymorphism has been associated with cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, its effect on nephrotoxicity of cisplatin should be the subject of further investigation.

An 82-Year old woman with a palpable lymph node

Project description:An 82-year-old woman with a history of LD stage SCLC of her left upper lobe nine years earlier, had been treated with five cycles chemotherapy cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide (CDE)) resulting in a complete response. She received prophylactic cranial irradiation. Now she presented with a palpable mass in the right supra-clavicular fossa. Her further medical history revealed coronary vascular disease, for which she underwent PTCA; mild aortic valve stenosis and a pacemaker to treat a third degree AV block. She has NYHA class II. She had a history of cigarette smoking but she stopped when SCLC was diagnosed nine years ago. She had no dyspnea

Project description:We report 2 sequential homozygous mutations in the recently cloned proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) gene, resulting in the absence of this protein, in a 27-year-old woman with hereditary folate malabsorption, normal in all respects having completed higher education, who has been treated with parenteral 5-formyltetrahydrofolate since infancy.

A novel Troponin I mutation associated with severe restrictive cardiomyopathy-a case report of a 27-year-old woman with fatigue.

Project description:BackgroundRestrictive cardiomyopathy is rare and heterogeneous in origin, clinical manifestation, and prognosis. Familial forms have, amongst others, been associated with mutations in the TNNI3 gene. We present a case of familial restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with a novel TNNI3 mutation including longitudinal follow-up.Case summaryA 27-year-old woman was evaluated for fatigue in the context of a family history of sudden cardiac death. Echocardiography was normal except for mild left atrial dilatation. Focused genetic screening, limited to the most common genes associated with cardiomyopathy, was unremarkable in 2006. In biopsy, mild inflammatory cardiomyopathy was diagnosed, and the patient was discharged. Thirteen years later, rapid clinical deterioration occurred in the context of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). Echocardiography now showed gross bi-atrial dilatation and evidence of diastolic dysfunction. Based on haemodynamic tracings during angiography, a diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy was made. In 2018, next-generation sequencing revealed the hitherto undescribed Troponin I variant Lys193Glu in a functionally critical domain. Haemodynamic stabilization was achieved by pulmonary vein isolation. Until now, the patient remains symptom free under diuretic treatment.DiscussionDiagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy is complicated by often oligosymptomatic early presentation and a diverse clinical picture. Thorough medical and family history and early invasive haemodynamic tracing are indispensable in diagnosis. Therapy-refractory AF should raise suspicion. Reporting of longitudinal follow-up cases is essential to better understand the early symptoms, development, and prognosis of this rare disease. Broad genetic testing in unclear cases has become more available and affordable and should be considered early in the diagnostic workflow.

DNA methylation profiles of 30 tissues from a 112 year old woman

Project description:The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of these tissues. Toward this end, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome in a 29-year-old woman presenting with rare and previously undescribed features.

Project description:Described are previously unreported features presenting in a case of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS); these apparently unreported features may substantively inform current therapy and further research. While considered to be primarily a craniofacial syndrome, FSS is officially described as a myopathic distal arthrogryposis. Clinical diagnosis requires microstomia, whistling-face appearance (pursed lips), H-shaped chin dimpling, nasolabial folds, and two or more contractures of hands and feet. Spinal deformities, metabolic and gastroenterological problems, other dysmorphic craniofacial characteristics, and visual and auditory impairments are frequent findings. Differential diagnoses include: distal arthrogryposis type 1, 2B (Sheldon-Hall syndrome) and 3; arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and isolated non-syndromic deformities. Expression is frequently from new allelic variation. Important implications exist for geneticists, neonatologists, paediatricians, plastic surgeons and others to facilitate patients' legitimate opportunity to meaningfully overcome functional limitations and become well. Despite complexities and complications, early craniofacial surgery and aggressive physiotherapy for limb contractures can achieve excellent outcomes for patients.
