Publication Open Access A Rare Cause of Hypophosphatemia: Raine Syndrome Changing Clinical Features with Age(SPRINGER, 2020-07) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Eltan, Mehmet; Alavanda, Ceren; Yavas Abali, Zehra; Ergenekon, Pinar; Yalindag Ozturk, Nilufer; Sakar, Mustafa; Dagcinar, Adnan; Kirkgoz, Tarik; Kaygusuz, Sare Betul; Gokdemir, Yasemin; Elcioglu, Huriye Nursel; Guran, Tulay; Bereket, Abdullah; Ata, Pinar; Turan, SerapRaine Syndrome (RS) is caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in FAM20C gene and characterized by hypophosphatemia, typical facial and skeletal features. Subperiosteal bone formation and generalized osteosclerosis are the most common radiological findings. Here we present a new case with RS. A 9-month-old male patient on a home-type ventilator was referred for hypophosphatemia. He was born with a weight of 3800 g to non-consanguineous parents. Prenatal ultrasound had demonstrated nasal bone agenesis. A large anterior fontanel, frontal bossing, exophthalmos, hypoplastic nose, high arched palate, low set ears, triangular mouth, and corneal opacification were detected on physical examination. Serial skeletal X-rays revealed diffuse osteosclerosis at birth which was gradually decreased by the age of 5 months with subperiosteal undermineralized bone formation and medullary space of long bone could be distinguishable with bone-within-a-bone appearance. At 9 months of age, hand X-ray revealed cupping of the ulna with loose radial bone margin with minimal fraying and osteopenia. Cranial computed tomography scan showed bilateral periventricular calcification and hydrocephalus in progress. The clinical, laboratory, and radiological examinations were consistent with RS. Molecular analyses revealed a compound heterozygous mutation in FAM20C gene (a known pathogenic mutation, c.1645C > T, p.Arg549Trp; and a novel c.863 + 5 G > C variant). The patient died due to respiratory failure at 17 months of age. This case allowed us to demonstrate natural progression of skeletal features in RS. Furthermore, we have described a novel FAM20C variant causing RS. Previous literature on RS is also reviewed.Publication Metadata only Does Genotype-Phenotype Correlation Exist in Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type IA: Report of 13 New Cases and Review of the Literature(SPRINGER, 2021) BEREKET, ABDULLAH; Kaygusuz, Sare Betul; Alavanda, Ceren; Kirkgoz, Tarik; Eltan, Mehmet; Yavas Abali, Zehra; Helvacioglu, Didem; Guran, Tulay; Ata, Pinar; Bereket, Abdullah; Turan, SerapVitamin D-dependent rickets type IA (VDDR-IA) is caused by biallelic mutations in CYP27B1. Data regarding genotype-phenotype correlation in VDDR-IA are scarce. Here, we aimed to investigate clinical/genotypic features and long-term follow-up of 13 new cases with VDDR-IA and genotype-phenotype correlation of reported cases in the literature. Thirteen patients with VDDR-IA were evaluated. Eight patients had reached their final height at the time of the study and, for whom, long-term outcome data were analyzed. Further, all VDDR-IA patients in the literature (n:183) were analyzed and clinical-genetic features were recorded. The median age of diagnosis was 2.55 +/- 1.13 (1.0-12) years. Initial diagnoses before referral to our clinic were nutritional rickets (n:7), hypophosphatemic rickets (n:2), and pseudohypoparathyroidism (n:1). All had biochemical evidence suggestive of VDDR-IA; except one with elevated 1,25(OH)(2)D3 and another with hyperphosphatemia, in whom pseudohypoparathyroidism was excluded with molecular tests. Combined analyses of our cohort and other series in the literature demonstrated that three most common CYP27B1 mutations are p.F443Pfs*24, c.195 + 2T > G, and p.V88Wfs*71. In Turkish population, p.K192E mutation along with the former two is the most common mutations. Comparison of clinical features demonstrated that c.195 + 2T > G mutation causes the most severe and p.K192E mutation causes the least severe phenotype with respect to age and height at presentation and calcitriol requirement. We found a clear genotype-phenotype correlation in VDDR-IA, notably CYP27B1 intronic c.195 + 2T > G mutation causes a more severe phenotype with lower height SDS at presentation and, higher calcitriol requirement, while less severe phenotype occurs in p.K192E mutation.Publication Open Access Molecular aspects of distal kidney tubular acidosis in children, its long-term outcome, and relationship with hyperammonemia(2022-07-01) GÖKCE, İBRAHİM; ATA, PINAR; YILDIZ, NURDAN; Güven S., Gökçe İ., Alavanda C., Öztürk Hişmi B., Çiçek N., Bodur Demirci E., Sak M., Yıldız N., Ata P., Alpay H.Objective: We aimed to present the characteristics, genetic analysis results, long-term prognosis of our patients with distal kidney tubular acidosis, and the relationship between hyperammonemia and distal kidney tubular acidosis. Materials and Methods: Biochemical, clinical, and imaging findings were collected at presentation and the last clinic visit, and results of the genetic analysis were recorded. Results: Our study included 9 patients (3 female, 33%). The median age at diagnosis was 3 months, and the median follow-up period was 111 months. Height standard deviation scores were less than −2 in 4 (44%) patients at presentation and in 3 (33%) at the last clinic visit. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 98 mL/min/1.73 m2 at presentation and 126 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the last clinic visit. We have found 8 different types of mutations of 2 genes, including 6 in the ATP6V0A4 gene, 2 in the SLCA4A1 gene, and 2 of them were novel. At the time of presentation, nephrocalcinosis and hypercalciuria were present in all our patients, but at the last visit, only 1 patient had hypercalciuria. Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 4 of our patients with a mutation in the ATP6V0A4 gene. Serum ammonia levels were found to be high in 3 patients with mutations in the ATP6V0A4 gene. Conclusion: Adequate metabolic control is essential for optimal growth and preserved kidney function in distal kidney tubular acidosis patients. Distal kidney tubular acidosis may be associated with hyperammonemia. We recommend keeping potassium levels at high-normal levels to reduce ammonia levels, especially in the absence of acidosis.Publication Open Access First patient diagnosed as feingold syndrome type 2 with alport syndrome and review of the current literature(2022-12-01) ARMAN, AHMET; ATA, PINAR; SÖYLEMEZ, MEHMET ALİ; Demir S., SÖYLEMEZ M. A., ARMAN A., ATA P.Introduction: Feingold syndrome type 2 (FGLDS2) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, microcephaly, digital abnormalities, and intellectual disability. Until now, 22 patients have been reported in the literature. FGLDS2 is caused by a germline heterozygous deletion of 13q resulting in haploinsufficiency of the MIR17HG gene. Case report: In the present study, we evaluated clinical, radiological, and genetic analyses of a 10-year-old Turkish-origin girl with short stature, brachydactyly, intellectual disability, hematuria, and proteinuria. Conclusion/Discussion: In the array-CGH analysis, a 15.7-Mb deletion, arr[hg19] 13q22q31.3(78,241,132_93,967,288)x1, was detected, and this alteration was evaluated to be pathogenic. The deletion of this region covering the MIR17HG gene is a potential cause of FGLDS2. Also, at her clinical exome sequencing study, a heterozygous c.2023G>A p.(Gly675Ser) variation was detected in the COL4A5 gene (NM_000495.4) that was likely pathogenic in up-to-date databases. As a result, we report on a patient who has FGLDS2 and Alport syndrome. This is the first report of a Turkish-origin FGLDS2 patient. Reporting new cases expands the range of phenotypes, plays a crucial role in understanding the FGLDS2 pathogenesis, and is important in terms of screening at-risk family members for giving appropriate genetic counseling and preimplantation genetic diagnosis opportunities.Publication Open Access Differential diagnosis of classical Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome: Do we need genetic analysis?(MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2021-10-31) ALAVANDA, CEREN; Guven, Sercin; Gokce, Ibrahim; Alavanda, Ceren; Cicek, Neslihan; Demirci, Ece Bodur; Sak, Mehtap; Pul, Serim; Turkkan, Ozde Nisa; Yildiz, Nurdan; Ata, Pinar; Alpay, HarikaObjective: Classical Bartter syndrome (cBS) and Gitelman syndrome (GS) are genotypically distinct, but there is a phenotypic overlap among these two diseases, which can complicate the accurate diagnosis without genetic analysis. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between clinical and genetic diagnoses among patients who have genetically defined cBS and GS. Patients and Methods: The study included 18 patients with homozygous/compound heterozygous CLCNKB (NM_000085) (n:10/18) and SLC12A3 (NM_000339) (n:8/18) mutations. Biochemical, clinical and radiological data were collected at presentation and at the last visit. Results: In cBS group age at diagnosis, median plasma potassium and chloride concentrations were significantly lower and median plasma HCO3 and blood pH values were significantly higher. Patients with GS had significantly lower median plasma magnesium concentrations and urinary calcium/creatinine ratio. One child with GS had normocalciuria, two children with cBS had hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia. Low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (ml/dk/1.73m2) and growth failure were more evident in cBS group. In patients with cBS, nine different CLCNKB gene mutations were detected, five of them were novel. Novel mutations were: one nonsense (c.66G>A, p.Trp22*), one missense (c.499G>A, p.Gly167Ser) and three splice-site (c.867-2delA; c.499-2insG; c.19302A>C) mutations. In patients with GS, six different SLC12A3 gene mutations were found. Conclusions: It may not always be possible to clinically distinguish cBS from GS. We suggest to perform a genotypic classification if genetic analysis is possible.
