Objective: Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by a mutation in capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) on chromosome 4q21. JHF is an extremely rare genetic disorder, and fewer than a hundred cases have been reported worldwide. In this case report, the clinical features, histopathological features and imaging manifestations of a case of JHF are presented. We present imaging manifestations of one case of JHF to deepen the radiologist’s understanding of this condition. The histopathological feature of JHF is hyaline degeneration involving skeletal muscle. Therefore, the lesion has a slightly high density on CT imaging, iso- or hypointense signal on T1WI and hypointense signal on T2WI. The boundary between the lesion and skeletal muscle is unclear. Methods: An 8-year-old male (case 1) was examined in our department with a complaint of multiple masses on the head, neck and back in 2021. The boy was the only child of his parents and was delivered at 40 weeks gestation by caesarean section. His parents were nonconsanguineous. Results : JHF displays multiple slowly or rapidly growing subcutaneous nodules. The imaging manifestations can reflect histopathological components, including nodular connective tissue and amorphous, partially calcified hyaline material.

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare autosomal recessive condition which develops due to a mutation in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM gene). As a result of this mutation, the ability of the DNA to undergo repair is undermined. The resulting cellular demise is responsible for the diverse presentation of the clinical condition. Neurological symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, abnormal eye movements and malignancies occur commonly. Immunodeficiency predisposes these patients to recurrent infections. Perioperative management of patients with this rare condition can be associated with increased morbidity. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with ataxia telangiectasia should be managed in a multidisciplinary center, under the supervision of senior clinicians who have the insight into the clinical needs of such patients. We report herein, the perioperative management of a patient with Ataxia telangiectasia undergoing laparoscopic procedure. Continuous....

Biallelic pathogenic variants in CLPP, encoding mitochondrial matrix peptidase ClpP, cause a rare autosomal recessive condition, Perrault syndrome type 3 (PRLTS3). It is characterized by primary ovarian insufficiency and early sensorineural hearing loss, often associated with progressive neurological deficits. Mouse models showed that accumulations of (i) its main protein interactor, the substrate-selecting AAA+ ATPase ClpX, (ii) mitoribosomes, and (iii) mtDNA nucleoids are the main cellular consequences of ClpP absence. However, the sequence of these events and their validity in human remain unclear. Here, we studied global proteome profiles to define ClpP substrates among mitochondrial ClpX interactors, which accumulated consistently in ClpP-null mouse embryonal fibroblasts and brains. Validation work included novel ClpP-mutant patient fibroblast proteomics. ClpX co-accumulated in mitochondria with the nucleoid component POLDIP2, the mitochondrial poly(A) mRNA granule element LRPPRC, and tRNA processing factor GFM1 (in mouse, also GRSF1). Only in mouse did accumulated ClpX, GFM1, and GRSF1 appear in nuclear fractions. Mitoribosomal accumulation was minor. Consistent accumulations in murine and human fibroblasts also affected multimerizing factors not known as ClpX interactors, namely, OAT, ASS1, ACADVL, STOM, PRDX3, PC, MUT, ALDH2, PMPCB, UQCRC2, and ACADSB, but the impact on downstream metabolites was marginal. Our data demonstrate the primary impact of ClpXP on the assembly of proteins with nucleic acids and show nucleoid enlargement in human as a key consequence.

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with agenesis of the corpus callosum (HMSN/ACC) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterised by early-onset severe progressive neuropathy, variable degrees of ACC and cognitive impairment. Mutations in SLC12A6 (solute carrier family 12, member 6) encoding the K+–Cl- transporter KCC3 have been identified as the genetic cause of HMSN/ACC. We describe fraternal twins with compound heterozygous mutations in SLC12A6 and much milder phenotype than usually described. Neither of our patients requires assistance to walk. The female twin is still running and has a normal intellect. Charcot-Marie-Tooth Examination Score 2 was 8/28 in the brother and 5/28 in the sister. Neurophysiology demonstrated a length-dependent sensorimotor neuropathy. MRI brain showed normal corpus callosum. Genetic analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations in SLC12A6, including a whole gene deletion. These cases expand the clinical and genetic phenotype of this rare condition and highlight the importance of careful clinical phenotyping.

Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition presenting usually in infancy that can be diagnosed based on time of onset, spreading and appearance of the poikiloderma.The purpose of reporting this case is to highlight the clinical approach to a child who presents with the features of poikiloderma.

AbstractChudley–McCullough syndrome (CMS) is an autosomal recessive condition first described in 1997. The most striking features of this syndrome include sensorineural hearing loss, craniofacial disproportion, and brain abnormalities such as agenesis of the corpus callosum, polymicrogyria, ventriculomegaly, and changes in cerebellar architecture. We describe the case of a 2-year-old patient with CMS confirmed by genetic testing (GPSM2 gene mutation), who presented with global developmental delays and characteristic neuroimaging features including arachnoid cysts, agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebellar dysplasia, and frontal heterotopia. Early recognition of this rare clinical syndrome may reduce the diagnostic odyssey and ultimately improve the quality of life for affected children. This report will focus on unique clinical and radiographic features of CMS.

Background: Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive condition manifested when abnormal copper accumulation in the body particularly involving many organs such as brain, liver, and cornea. Diagnosis is challenging with the completion of tests in blood and urine, a liver biopsy, and clinical evaluation. ATP7B mutations with more than 600 identified variants are the genetic disorders of Wilson disease. Case Description: We report an adolescent case with no family history presented with extrapyramidal dyskinesia. Other symptoms include liver cirrhosis and Kayser–Fleischer ring. The typical presentation of blood test results and brain MRI images helps us to suspect Wilson disease in this case. We confirmed to have a p.R778L form and a p.S105X form in ATP7B mutations. After combining therapy with trihexyphenidyl and trientine, the patient’s medical condition was stable and no side effects were observed. Conclusion: Screening for the diagnosis of Wilson disease is essential in helping patients benefit from early treatment and genetic counseling.

Cerebral leukoencephalopathy and megalencephaly with subcortical cysts (also known as van der Knaap disease) is an autosomal recessive condition. The disease was initially described in India and Netherlands independently and seems to have highest incidence in Indian Agrawal community and Turkish population. 1 The objective of this study is to document the case of two siblings with this condition, from a non-Agrawal Indian community and briefly describe the imaging features of this condition. Two siblings, born out of a third-degree consanguineous marriage, with simple focal seizures were subjected to MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging and spectrometry. The findings were compared to diseases with similar clinical presentation. Subcortical cysts initially involving anterior temporal lobes and subsequently frontal and parietal lobes, sparing of central white mater, small N acetyl aspartate peak and diffusion facilitation were the imaging findings. The imaging findings were consistent with the diagnosis of the rare genetic disorder- Cerebral leukoencephalopathy and megalencephaly with subcortical cysts.
