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.

Project description:DOORS syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic neurometabolic disorder. It occurs equally in men and women. Major causes include TBC1D 24 mutations and genetic factors. Here, we discuss a 23-year-old male patient who applied to our clinic with anonychia of the toes and was diagnosed with DOORS syndrome with other accompanying clinical symptoms.

Project description:PurposeTo present a case of two siblings with optic atrophy associated with Wolfram Syndrome.ObservationsTwo young adult siblings presented with serious bilateral loss of vision and dyschromatopsia established in early adolescence. They were referred with a presumed diagnosis of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. At baseline, visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye in patient A and 20/200 in both eyes in patient B, color perception tested with pseudo-isochromatic plates was 0/17 in each eye, optic discs were pale, visual field testing revealed diffuse scotomas bilaterally while electrophysiology showed delayed prominent positive deflection (P100) values in both patients. Personal history revealed Type 1 diabetes mellitus since early childhood. Patients were lost to follow-up and presented 4 years later with significant VA decrease (<20/400) and suspected hearing loss. At that point, genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variation in the WFS1 gene thus confirming the diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome. Treatment with idebenone was proposed, to which only one of the siblings agreed. The other patient remained under observation, as no known treatment for optic atrophy in Wolfram syndrome exists to date.Conclusions and importanceWolfram syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative genetic disease associated with diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness. Careful and detailed medical and family history led to appropriate testing that confirmed the diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome. To this day, there is no definite treatment for this disease, but the experimental use of idebenone has been suggested to improve visual function. Genetic testing of family members and offspring of patients is strongly recommended.

Project description:BackgroundGitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive salt-losing renal tubulopathy arising from mutations in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter gene. Due to its low incidence and lack of awareness, GS can be easily misdiagnosed or missed in diagnosis.Case summaryA 24-year-old male presented with > 4 years of repeated limb weakness without any treatment. The previous day, the patient was bitten by ants and showed weakness of the lower limbs. The patient had hypokalemia (1.66-2.83 mmol/L), hypomagnesemia (0.4 mmol/L), hypocalciuria (1.51-2.46 mmol/d), metabolic alkalosis (7.47-7.54), normal blood pressure, and increased activity of aldosterone and plasma renin activity (PRA) (PRA 6.4 and 16.45 ng/mL/h and aldosterone 330.64 and 756.82 pg/mL in the supine and upright position, respectively). In addition, SLCI2A3 gene mutation with GS was diagnosed. Oral and intravenous supplementation with potassium and magnesium was initiated. Serum magnesium returned to 0.48 mmol/L and serum potassium returned to 3.08 mmol/L, alleviating the patient's fatigue symptoms.ConclusionGS should be considered in patients with hypokalemia complicated with hypomagnesemia. Genetic testing is essential to confirm the diagnosis.

Project description:This case report describes a case of H syndrome with characteristic cutaneous hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, sclerodermatous thickening, and multisystem involvement such as hearing loss and heart anomaly in an Indian patient. There are around 100 cases of this rare, autosomal recessive genodermatosis reported in the literature, out of which 10 cases are from the Indian population. The aim of this paper is to increase awareness about this novel inherited form of histiocytosis and insist on the role of dermatologists to identify such patients in our population where consanguinity is prevalent.

Project description:Sjögren syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder that affects the exocrine glands. The authors present the case of a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with this syndrome on the basis of clinical and serological findings. Sonography of the major salivary glands revealed normal-sized glands with echo structures that were diffusely inhomogeneous due to the presence of multiple hypoechoic areas. Parenchymal vascularization was significantly increased on color Doppler imaging. These findings confirmed the diagnosis and revealed active disease manifested by glandular hypervascularization. This represents a typical case of Sjögren syndrome and illustrates the diagnostic value in these cases of salivary gland sonography, which is effective, noninvasive, and repeatable and provides accurate information on the vascularization status of the glands.

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.
