Síndrome de Seckel: relato de caso de uma rara condição genética / Seckel's Syndrome: case report of a rare genetic condition

AbstractSymphalangism is a rare genetic condition characterized by ankylosis of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) or/and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. The patient presented with fused bilateral PIP joints and poor flexion, and an unsatisfactory range of motion (ROM) in the metacarpophalangeal (MP) and DIP joints. Concomitantly, multi-carpal coalition, proximal carpal malalignment, and ulnar styloid process abnormality were also observed in radiographs obtained at diagnosis. Rehabilitation training of the MP and DIP joints and a wrist supporter were recommended to achieve MP and DIP functional motion and restrict dramatic wrist motion. This is the first case report of symphalangism with multi-carpal coalition and abnormality of the ulnar styloid process to the best of our knowledge.

Pilomatrix Carcinoma

This is the first report of pilomatrix carcinoma in a man with C282Y myotonic dystrophy type 1. This pilomatrix carcinoma had originally presented as a rapidly growing recurrence of a histopathologically confirmed pilomatrixoma, removed a year prior. On examination, the fungating mass had measured 10 × 23 cm. A wide local resection with removal of suspicious lymph nodes was preformed, and the resulting defect was reconstructed with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and skin graft. Histologic investigation of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrix carcinoma. This is the first reported case of pilomatrix carcinoma in a patient with a genetic condition that often presents with scalp pilomatrixomas. Potential implications of myotonic dystrophy on developing pilomatrix carcinoma are discussed.

In Pregnancy

Liddle syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that causes hypertension and hypokalemia due to a gain-of-function mutation in the SCNN1B or SCNN1G genes which code for the epithelial sodium channel in the kidney. This leads to increased sodium and water reabsorption causing hypertension. We report a case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted for hypertension and hypokalemia and later diagnosed and treated for Liddle syndrome using amiloride. Maintaining a high suspicion of Liddle syndrome in pregnancy is essential in such cases to be able to adequately and effectively treat the hypertension. Due to physiological effects of pregnancy, the dose of amiloride may need to be increased as gestational age progresses up to a maximum dose of 30 mg orally per day.

Genotype Phenotype Correlation

Background: Ulerythema ophryogenes (also known as keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei) is a rarely reported cutaneous manifestation of Noonan syndrome. Objective: Recognizing ulerythema ophryogenes as a cutaneous association in Noonan syndrome may aid in the diagnosis of this relatively common genetic condition. Methods: We present a case of a patient with Noonan syndrome and ulerythema ophryogenes associated with a SOS1 mutation and review the literature on this association. Results: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of Noonan syndrome proven to be due to an SOS1 mutation in which ulerythema ophryogenes was clinically recognized and specifically diagnosed. Conclusions: The presence of ulerythema ophryogenes in a patient with Noonan syndrome increases the likelihood of a SOS1 mutation. Further reports by dermatologists and medical geneticists documenting ulerythema ophryogenes and not just descriptions of sparse or absent eyebrows will help support this genotype-phenotype correlation.

Introduction: Down syndrome is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, and it is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans. This genetic condition is characterized by multiple skeletal abnormalities, including atlantoaxial instability that occurs in 9-31% of patients presenting clinical consequences in 1-3% of them. This study aims to report a case of atlantoaxial instability with clinical repercussions of quadriparesia. Case Report: A case of a 10-year-old boy, with Down syndrome, who could notget up for three months is reported. Clinical examination revealed quadriparesis. The lateral radiograph of the cervical spine showed a atlanto-odontoid distance of 6mm, confirming atlantoaxial instability.

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 is an uncommon genetic condition and presents with gait disturbances, ataxia, dysarthria, nystagmus, and cognitive and psychiatric abnormalities. Seizures are extremely uncommon in the spinocerebellar ataxias and have been reported only once before in a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 8. This case report highlights the need to evaluate spells in patients with a known neurodegenerative or genetic disease to exclude seizures, and it stresses the importance of timely diagnosis and therapy. Case presentation The patient was a 22-year-old Caucasian woman with known spinocerebellar ataxia 8 since age 10 years. She was admitted to our hospital with new-onset left hemiparesis and encephalopathy in addition to chronic occurrence of multiple spells of confusion and oromanual automatisms with postictal lethargy. Testing confirmed that she was having recurrent seizures with episodes of nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Urgent treatment with antiepileptic therapy was initiated; her seizures resolved shortly thereafter, and her mental status improved. Her left hemiparesis has improved; she remains seizure-free; and she has returned to her baseline antiepileptic medications following physical therapy. Conclusions Seizures have been reported extremely rarely in association with spinocerebellar ataxia 8, but they must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with spells of altered awareness, especially in those with a known neurodegenerative or genetic condition. Clinicoradiological correlation with symptoms can help expedite diagnosis and treatment. Expert consultation with epileptologists at the earliest signs can help establish the diagnosis quickly, minimize morbidity, and enhance recovery.

Silver Syndrome

Russel – Silver syndrome (RSS) is a hereditary disease manifesting with intrauterine growth retardation, dwarfism, and other stigmas of embryopathy. We describe this rare genetic condition in a 7-month-old baby. The changes in physical condition and neurological status, clinical signs, laboratory tests, and management strategy are addressed. A genetic condition was suggested through an arrested development and stigmas of embryopathy only at the age of 7 months. At the age of 5 months, hydrocephaly was suspected due to asymmetrical proportions of the body (the relatively large size of head compared to a small body). However, neurosonography ruled out this diagnosis. Genetic testing for microsatellite loci on chromosome 7, which identified abnormal methylation of H19 gene verified the final diagnosis.
