P02-015 - A novel MVK mutation in a child with AA amyloid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction AA amyloidosis may develop as a consequence of chronic inflammatory conditions including inherited periodic fever syndromes. Mevalonate-kinase (MVK) deficiency (MKD) appears to be the least frequent underlying condition after FMF, TRAPS and CAPS. Moreover, amyloidosis rarely manifests during childhood. We report a case of a small child in whom renal biopsy performed because of the cortico-resistant nephrotic syndrome revealed AA amyloidosis.

Introduction AA amyloidosis may develop as a consequence of chronic inflammatory conditions including autoinflammatory diseases(AID). Mevalonate-kinase(MVK) deficiency(MKD) appears to be the least frequent underlying condition among monogenic periodic syndromes. Moreover, amyloidosis rarely manifests during childhood. We report a case of a small child in whom renal biopsy performed because of t...

Introduction Systemic reactive (AA) amyloidosis represents the most important complication within TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and other autoinflammatory syndromes, progressively leading to endstage renal failure. The homozygous condition of the serum amyloid A (SAA) variant SAA1.1 is significantly associated with the occurrence of AA amy...

Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS; MIM# 260920) is a rare recessively-inherited autoinflammatory condition caused by mutations in the MVK gene, which encodes for mevalonate kinase, an essential enzyme in the isoprenoid pathway. HIDS is clinically characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and inflammation. Here we report on the case of a 2 year-old Portuguese boy wit...
متن کاملMevalonic Aciduria in a Child Featuring Hepatic Fibrosis and Novel Mevalonate Kinase Mutations
Mevalonic aciduria (MVA) is an inborn error of isoprene biosynthesis caused by mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene mutations. Described below is a case of a Palestinian MVA patient suffering from prolonged fevers as well as from hepatic fibrosis a rare feature of MVA. Also demonstrated is a unique genotype heterozigosity of two novel MVK mutations; V8F (t25a), and F38I (t112a).
متن کاملMutational Screening in Exon 6 of the PSEN2 Gene in Iranian Patients with Late-Onset Alzheimer\'s Disease
Background and Aims: One of the most important genes involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the presenilin2 (PSEN2) gene, which is one of the main constituents of the gamma-secretase complex. Mutations in this gene promote the formation of amyloid plaques resulting in AD. The study aimed to evaluate the mutation variant in exon 6 of the PSEN2 gene in patients with Late-Onset AD (LOAD). Due to ...
