Острый рабдомиолиз
Rhabdomyolysis results from the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers, which leads to leakage of potentially toxic cellular contents into the systemic circulation. Acquired causes by direct injury to the sarcolemma are the most frequent. The inherited causes are: metabolic with failure of energy production, including mitochondrial fatty acid ß-oxidation defects, LPIN1 mutations, inborn errors of glycogenolysis and glycolysis, more rarely mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency, purine defects and peroxysomalα-Methylacyl-CoA-racemase defect (AMACR); dystrophinopathies and myopathies; calcic causes with RYR1 mutations; inflammatory with myositis. Irrespective of the cause of rhabdomyolysis, the pathophysiologic events follow a common pathway, the ATP depletion leading to an increased intracellular calcium concentration and necrosis. Most episodes of rhabdomyolysis are triggered by an environmental stress, mostly fever. This condition is associated with two events, elevated temperature and high circulating levels of pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines. We describe here an example of rhabdomyolysis related to high temperature, aldolase deficiency, in 3 siblings with episodic rhabdomyolysis without hemolytic anemia. Myoglobinuria was always triggered by febrile illnesses. We show that the underlying mechanism involves an exacerbation of aldolase A deficiency at high temperatures that affected myoblasts but not erythrocytes. Thermolability was enhanced in patient myoblasts compared to control. The aldolase A deficiency was rescued by arginine supplementation in vitro. Lipid droplets accumulated in patient myoblasts relative to control and this was increased by cytokines. Lipotoxicity may participate to myolysis. Our results expand the clinical spectrum of aldolase A deficiency to isolated temperature-dependent rhabdomyolysis, and suggest that thermolability may be tissue specific. We also propose a treatment for this severe disease. Some other diseases involved in rhabdomyolysis may implicate pro-inflammatory cytokines and may be proinflammatory diseases.Острый рабдомиолиз – драматичное внезапное разрушение мышечных волокон скелетных мышц. К генетическим этиологическим факторам относят: метаболические расстройства, сопровождаемые дефицитом окисления жирных кислот, дефицитом липина-1, аномалии гликогенолиза и гликолиза, реже – дефицит митохондриальной дыхательной цепи, дефицит пурина и пероксизмальный дефицит α-метил-ацил-КоА-рацемазы (α-methyl-acyl-CoA-acemase, AMACR); структурные патологии в рамках дистрофинопатий и миопатий; аномалии кальциевого обмена с мутациями в гене RYR1; воспалительные реакции, ассоциированные с миозитом. Независимо от причины, дефицит аденозинтрифосфата в миоците приводит к повышению содержания внутриклеточного кальция и некрозу мышечных волокон. Провоцирующим фактором рабдомиолиза могут быть экзогенные факторы, среди которых травматизация мышц является самой частой причиной рабдомиолиза метаболического генеза. В случае лихорадки следует учитывать 2 фактора: повышение температуры тела и существование провоспалительных цитокинов. В статье описан случай рабдомиолиза у 3 детей от близкородственного брака, спровоцированный гипертермией и вызванный дефицитом альдолазы А, не сопровождаемой гемолитической анемией. В рассматриваемом случае миоглобинурия была всегда вызвана фебрильной температурой. В свою очередь, фермент альдолаза-А обладает тканеспецифичной термолабильностью: при тестируемых температурах он обнаружен в миобластах, но не в эритроцитах, что объясняет специфическую симптоматику у описываемых пациентов. Существуют предположения, что в клеточной липотоксичности участвуют так называемые жировые капли. В ходе исследований in vitro дефицит альдолазы А был возмещен добавлением аргинина. Другие типы рабдомиолиза метаболического генеза, вероятно, являются провоспалительными заболеваниями.перевод: Мария Олеговна Ковальчу
Cartographie d'un nouveau locus de syndrome d'hypercroissance associé à la région 18qter (à propos d'une macroglossie)
Un syndrome polymalformatif avec macroglossie, associé au spectre du syndrome de Wiedemann-Beckwith (nævus flammeus, hernie inguinale bilatérale, hypoglycémie néonatale transitoire) a été associé à une monosomie 18q23. L'étude cytogénétique en prométaphase, par FISH, CGH et peinture chromosomique nous a permis de caractériser une aneuploïdie complexe du 18 avec monosomie, disomie, trisomie segmentaires homogènes et probablement tétrasomie en mosaïque. Les marqueurs microsatellites D18S1161 (18q22.3) et D18S1009 (18q23) définissent la borne centromérique et D18S70 (18qter) la borne télomérique de la délétion (3,8 à 5,6 Mb). L'étude au locus BWS1 montre l'absence d'isodisomie paternelle et de dérégulation de l'empreinte (expression monallélique d'IGF2 et normalité de l'indice de méthylation d'H19 et de LIT1). Cette deuxième observation confirme l'existence d'un nouveau locus de syndrome d'hypercroissance associé à la région 18q23 sans inter-relation directe avec le locus BWS1.CHATENAY M.-PARIS 11-BU Pharma.

Chronic hemolytic anemia due to novel α-globin chain variants: critical location of the mutation within the gene sequence for a dominant effect
Fetal and maternal MTHFR C677T genotype, maternal folate intake and the risk of nonsyndromic oral clefts.
International audienceThe association between maternal folate intake and risk of nonsyndromic oral clefts has been studied among many populations with conflicting results. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) plays a major role in folate metabolism, and several polymorphisms, including C677T, are common in European populations. Data from a French study (1998-2001) let us investigate the roles of maternal dietary folate intake and the MTHFR polymorphism and their interaction on the risk of cleft lip with/without cleft palate (CL/P) and cleft palate only (CP). We used both case-control (164 CL/P, 76 CP, 236 controls; 148, 59, 168 of whom, respectively, had an available genotype) and case-parent (143 CL/P and 56 CP families) study designs and distinguished the role of the child's genotype and maternally mediated effects on risks. This study observed a beneficial effect of mothers' dietary folate intake on their offspring's risk (odds ratio (OR)(314 microg/day) = 0.64, 0.4-1.1; for CP, OR([230-314 microg/day]) = 1.15, 0.6-2.2, OR(>314 microg/day) = 0.70, 0.3-1.4). We observed a reduced risk associated with the TT genotype of the child in the case-control analysis (OR(CC) = ref; for CL/P, OR(TT) = 0.54, 0.3-1.1; for CP, OR(TT) = 0.33, 0.1-1.0); this genotype, either fetal or maternal, was not statistically significant in the case-parent analysis. A frequency of TT genotype higher in our control group than previously reported in France can partly explain the risk reduction observed in case-control comparison. Interactions were not statistically significant. Stratified case-parent analysis showed, however, slight heterogeneity in the role of TT genotype according to folate intake. The modest sample size limits this study, which nonetheless provides new estimate of the possible impact of dietary folate intake and MTHFR polymorphism on oral clefts
Possible relationship between the van der Woude syndrome (vWS) locus and nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P).
Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital malformations in humans occurring with a birth prevalence of approximately 1:1,000. CL/P may be part of a defined syndrome, sequence or association, although most individual or familial cases present as an isolated (nonsyndromic) malformation (NSCL/P). Inheritance is generally regarded as multigenic although, in some families, NSCL/P seemingly segregates as a monogenic trait. On the other hand, van der Woude syndrome (vWS) is a rare autosomal dominant with cardinal features of lower-lip pits (LLP) and CL/P or cleft palate (alone). Since none of these traits is present in all mutation carriers, some individual or familial vWS cases, especially those lacking LLP, are indiscernible from NSCL/P, raising the question whether allelic variation at the vWS locus could underlie NSCL/P. This question was addressed using parametric linkage (LOD score) analysis in 21 multiplex NSCL/P families based on a tightly linked microsatellite marker (D1S3753), and nonparametric analysis using the transmission/disequilibrium test (GTDT) in 106 NSCL/P triads and selecting markers D1S205, D1S491, and D1S3753. No evidence for linkage of NSCL/P to vWS was found on the 21 families using the LOD score approach. In contrast, TDT yielded a significant P value of 0.04 for D1S205, supporting involvement of vWS in NSCL/P in a complex, modifying/polygenic manner rather than as a monogenic/major disease locus
Genetic susceptibilities in the association between maternal exposure to tobacco smoke and the risk of nonsyndromic oral cleft.
International audienceMaternal tobacco consumption is considered as a risk factor for nonsyndromic oral clefts. However, this risk is moderate and may be modulated by genetic susceptibilities, including variants of the TGFA, TGFB3 and MSX1 developmental genes and polymorphisms of genes of the CYP (1A1, 2E1) and GST (M1, T1) families involved in metabolic pathways of tobacco smoke compounds. This French case-control study (1998-2001; 240 nonsyndromic cases, 236 controls) included a case-parent design (175 triad-families) that made it possible to distinguish the direct effect of the child's genotype and maternally mediated effects. Maternal smoking during the first trimester of pregnancy was not associated with the oral cleft risk in this population, but we observed statistically significant increased risks associated with maternal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). No variant of any of the three developmental genes was significantly associated with oral cleft. The fetal CYP1A1*2C variant allele was associated with a statistically significant decreased risk, compared with the homozygous wild-type: relative risk = 0.48, 95% confidence interval: 0.2, 1.0. Suggestive reduced risks were also observed for the maternal CYP1A1*2C allele and the fetal CYP2E1*5 allele. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletions appeared to play no role. Our findings suggest some interactions, with the strongest between ETS and CYP1A1 or MSX1 and between maternal smoking and CYP2E1. We did not confirm the maternal smoking-infant GSTT1 null interaction previously reported by other investigators
