    Background Cubilin is one of the receptor proteins responsible for reabsorption of albumin in proximal tubules and is encoded by the CUBN gene. We aimed to evaluate clinical and genetic characterization of six patients with proteinuria who had CUBN mutations. Methods Patients’ characteristics, serum creatinine, albumin, vitamin B12 levels, urine analysis, spot urine protein/creatinine, microalbumin/creatinine, beta-2 microglobulin/creatinine ratios, estimated glomerular fltration rates (eGFR), treatments, kidney biopsies, and genetic analyses were evaluated. Results Six patients (2 female, 4 male) with an incidental finding of proteinuria were evaluated. Mean admission age and follow-up time were 7.3 ± 2.9 and 6.5 ± 5.6 years, respectively. Serum albumin, creatinine, and eGFR were normal; urine analysis revealed no hematuria, and C3, C4, ANA, and anti-DNA were negative; kidney ultrasonography was normal for all patients. Urine protein/creatinine was 0.9± 0.3 mg/mg, and microalbumin was high in all patients. Serum vitamin B12 was low in two patients and normal in four. Kidney biopsy was performed in four patients, three demonstrated normal light microscopy, and there was one focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Genetic tests revealed four homozygous and two compound heterozygous mutations in the C-terminal part of cubilin. All patients had normal eGFR and still had non-nephrotic range proteinuria at last visit. Conclusions CUBN gene mutations should be considered in patients with isolated non-nephrotic range proteinuria and normal kidney function. Diagnosing these patients, who are thought to have a better prognosis, is important in terms of avoiding unnecessary treatment and predicting prognosis. CUBN gene mutations may also present as FSGS which extends the spectrum of renal manifestation of these patients.

    Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate our patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) or kidney transplant recipients(KTx) and their parent’s/caregiver’s anxiety and depression levels and abilities of coping with difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 children with predialysis CKD, children on dialysis and KTx, 30 healthy children between 7-18 years of age and their care providers. Children were surveyed by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(SOQ-T), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders(SCARED), childhood depression inventory and parents or caregivers by Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale(COPE), Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory.All questionnaires were done face-to-face or by phone and scored in accordance with the scales. Results: Signs of anxiety (SCARED scores) was present in 26(32.5%) patients and 4(13.3%) controls, and significantly higher in children with CKD and KTx recipients (p=0.03). Sixty-nine children and all controls have a depression scale of >19 and control group showed significantly higher depression scores than the patients (mean±SD,51.6±2.8 vs. 47.5±11.1; respectively, p=0.009). Thirteen (16.3%) patient and 2(6.7%) controls have high SDQDysregulation Profile(SDQ-DP) scores. SDQ-DP scores of the patients were significantly higher than the controls (9.6±5.3 vs. 7.2 ±5.8, respectively; p=0.000). There was no significant difference of mothers in coping with difficulties, anxiety and depression scores between the groups(p>0.05). Higher degree of anxiety of the patients was significantly associated with higher anxiety and depression symptoms of the mothers in the patients group (r=0.5, p=0.000 and r=0.435,p=0.001;respectively ),whereas there was no relationship between the SDQ-DP of the patients and Beck anxiety and depression scores of the mothers Conclusions: The COVID-19 outbreak causes increased anxiety in children with CKD and KTx and increased depression in healthy children. We may speculate that higher depression scores in healthy children may be due to sudden lifestyle restrictions during the pandemic compared to CKD patients who already have certain restrictions. The association of the increased anxiety of the patients with the depression and anxiety of the mothers has shown the necessity of more attention from mental health practitioners. Identifying affected children as early as possible and providing professional psychological and behavioral interventions will ensure a better mental health for children with chronic kidney diseases and their caregivers during the pandemic.

    Spina bifidalı hastada ağır nöropatik ülser ve fungal dermatit

    Kaudal nöral açıklığın yanlış kapanması spina bifida (SB) olarak bilinen vertebral ark defektlerini oluşturur. Sıklığı 4-5/10.000 canlı doğumdur. Medulla spinalisin kese şeklinde dışarı çıktığı spina bifida sistika nöral tüp defektinin düzeyi ile uyum gösteren ağır nörolojik kusurlara yol açar. Duyu kaybı, paralizi, barsak ve mesane fonksiyon kaybı sıktır. Hastaların paraliziye bağlı postürlerinden kaynaklanan bası ülserleri ve cilt lezyonları sık rastlanan tıbbi problemlere odaklanıldığında gözden kaçabilir ve önemli sorunlara yol açabilir. Bu yazıda idrar yolu enfeksiyonu ve hipertansiyon nedeni ile başvuran, fizik muayenesinde gluteal bölgelerde yaygın dermatiti ve sağ dizinde derin bası ülseri saptanan SB’li on bir yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuş, hastaların uzun dönem izlemlerinde ortaya çıkabilen ve yaşam kalitesini düşüren lokal komplikasyonlara dikkat çekilmek istenmiştir.

    Collapsing Glomerulopathy in a Patient with a TRPC6 Mutation Presenting as Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
    (2023-01-01) GÖKCE, İBRAHİM; KAYA, MİTHAT; ÇİÇEK DENİZ, NESLİHAN; YILDIZ, NURDAN; KAYA, HANDAN; ALPAY, HARİKA; GÖKCE İ., KAYA M., ÇİÇEK N., Guven S., Ercetin Y., YILDIZ N., KAYA H., ALPAY H.
    Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a proliferative disease characterized by segmental or global wrinkling of the glomerular basement membrane and the formation of pseudocrescents, whereas focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is characterized by podocytopenia, and focal and segmental sclerosis of the glomeruli. Mutations in NPHS1, NPHS2, WT1, PLCE1, CD2AP, ACTN4, and TRPC6 have been reported in steroid-resistant FSGS patients. The mutations p.R895C and p.R895L in Exon 13 are the only ones in TRPC6 causing CG reported to date. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old male patient with a collapsing variant of familial FSGS caused by a mutation in TRPC6 (p.R895C) who presented with rapidly progressive (crescentic) and proliferative glomerulonephritis.
