AbstractThiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the development of megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus, and sensorineural deafness. We report on the first two Croatian patients with TRMA, compound heterozygotes for nonsense, c.373C > T; p.(Gln125Ter) and novel missense variant, c.1214C > G; p.(Thr405Arg) in SLC19A2 gene. The first was diagnosed at 4 months with diabetes mellitus and severe anemia requiring transfusions. As TRMA was suspected, thiamine therapy was immediately started to prevent further transfusions and insulin therapy. His brother developed extreme anemia at 3 weeks of age while waiting for the results of the genetic test. Severe anemia in this sibling may have been prevented if thiamine had been initiated earlier.

Chudley-McCullough syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to pathogenic variants in the GPSM2 (G-protein signaling modulator 2) gene, is characterized by early-onset sensorineural deafness and a typical combination of brain malformations, including ventriculomegaly, (partial) agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebellar dysplasia, arachnoid cysts, frontal subcortical heterotopia, and midline polymicrogyria. When hearing loss is managed early, most patients have minor or no impairment of motor and cognitive development, despite the presence of brain malformations. We report 2 cases of Chudley-McCullough syndrome, one presenting with congenital deafness and normal development except for speech delay and one presenting prenatally with ventriculomegaly and an atypical postnatal course characterized by epileptic spasms, deafness, and moderate intellectual disability. These highlight the challenges faced by clinicians when predicting prognosis based on pre- or postnatal imaging of brain malformations. We have also reviewed the phenotype and genotype of previous published cases to better understand Chudley-McCullough syndrome.

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JS) is a rare congenital, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a distinctive brain malformation, developmental delay, ocular motor apraxia, breathing abnormalities, and high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We are reporting three siblings with JS from consanguineous parents in Syria. Two of them had the same homozygous c.2172delA (p.Trp725Glyfs*) AHI1 mutation and the third was diagnosed prenatally with magnetic resonance imaging. This pathogenic variant is very rare and described in only a few cases in the literature. Multinational collaboration could be of benefit for the patients from undeveloped, low-income countries that have a low-quality health care system, especially for the diagnosis of rare diseases.

Hypernatremic Dehydration

AbstractCongenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is an autosomal recessive disorder originating from an abnormal transporter mechanism in the intestines. It was sourced from a mutation in the SLC5A1 gene, which encodes a sodium-dependent glucose transporter. Here we report a 2-day-old girl with CGGM who presented with severe hypernatremic dehydration due to diarrhea beginning in the first hours of life. Mutation analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation NM_000343.3 c.127G > A (p.Gly43Arg) in the SLC5A1 gene. Since CGGM can cause fatal diarrhea in the early neonatal period, timely diagnosis of the disease seems to be essential.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with rapidly progressing periodontitis leading to premature loss of deciduous and permanent dentition and diffuse palmoplantar keratosis. Immunologic alterations, genetic mutations, and role of bacteria are some aetiologic factors. Patients present with early periodontal destruction, so periodontists play a significant role in diagnosis and management. This paper reports a case of Papillon- Lefevre syndrome with its clinical manifestations and challenges for periodontal management which was diagnosed in dental department.

Haim-Munk syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, aggressive periodontitis with severe alveolar bone destruction, onychogryphosis, pes planus, arachnodactyly, and acro-osteolysis. Consanguinity seems a notable prerequisite. The aim of this study was therefore to report one case of this syndrome and to focus on the periodontal manifestations, in order to attract the attention of dental clinicians to this rare anomaly.

Abstract Sialidosis, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is caused by a deficiency of NEU1 encoded enzyme alpha-N-acetyl neuraminidase. We report a premature male with neonatal-onset type II sialidosis which was associated with left ventricular dysfunction. The clinical presentation and subsequent progression which culminated in his untimely death at 16 months of age are succinctly described. Early-onset cardiovascular involvement as noted in this patient is not well characterised. The case report is supplemented by a comprehensive review of the determinants, characteristics, and the clinical course of cardiovascular involvement in this rare condition.

Nasu-Hakola disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated to mutations in TREM2 and DAP12 genes, neuropathologically characterized by leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids. We report the neuropathologic findings of a 51-year-old female with a homozygous mutation (Q33X) of TREM2 gene. Beside severe cerebral atrophy and hallmarks of Nasu-Hakola disease, significant Alzheimer’s disease lesions were present. Neurofibrillary changes showed an atypical topographic distribution being severe at spots in the neocortex while sparing the mesial temporal structures. Our finding suggests that TREM2 genetic defects may favor Alzheimer’s disease pathology with neurofibrillary changes not following the hierarchical staging of cortical involvement identified by Braak.
