New mutation in the TRIP4 gene associated with congenital muscular dystrophy Davignon–Chauveau type (clinical case)

Congenital muscular dystrophies are heterogeneous groups of neuromuscular diseases leading to hypotonia, progressive muscle weakness and dystrophic or structural signs in muscle biopsy. At the present time, 34 genes associated with congenital muscular dystrophy have been described. The clinical case of a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophia associated with a homozygous mutation in the TRIP4 gene in a patient with respiratory failure requiring respiratory support, neurological symptoms, muscular hypotonia, and multiple congenital malformations of skeletal system is presented for the first time in Russia. The undescribed pathogenic homozygous variant of the nucleotide sequence in the TRIP4 gene (chr15:64686179, c.136C>T, p.Arg46Ter, 2 exon, NM_016213.4) was detected by whole exome sequencing. The mutation in the TRIP4 gene was validated by Sanger sequencing in a child and its origin was investigated. The mother and father of the girl are carriers of the heterozygous variant in the TRIP4 gene. Identification of the genetic cause of a rare form of neuromuscular disease is important for determining the tactics of patient management and medical and genetic counseling of the family, as well as clarifying the pathogenesis of a rare pathology

Новая мутация в гене TRIP4, ассоциированная с фенотипом врожденной мышечной дистрофии типа Давиньон–Шове (клинический случай)

Congenital muscular dystrophies are heterogeneous groups of neuromuscular diseases leading to hypotonia, progressive muscle weakness and dystrophic or structural signs in muscle biopsy. At the present time, 34 genes associated with congenital muscular dystrophy have been described.

В настоящее время описано 34 гена, связанных с врожденной мышечной дистрофией. Впервые в России представляется клинический случай редкой формы врожденной мышечной дистрофии, обусловленной гомозиготной мутацией в гене TRIP4, у пациента с дыхательной недостаточностью, требующей респираторной поддержки, неврологической симптоматикой, мышечной гипотонией, множественными врожденными пороками развития опорно-двигательной системы. В результате проведенного полноэкзомного секвенирования выявлен ранее не описанный патогенный вариант нуклеотидной последовательности в гене TRIP4 в гомозиготном состоянии, приводящий к остановке синтеза полнофункционального белка (chr15:64686179, c.136C>T, p.Arg46Ter, 2 й экзон, NM_016213.4). Мутация в гене TRIP4 была валидирована методом секвенирования по Сэнгеру у ребенка, и исследовано ее происхождение. Мать и отец девочки являются носителями гетерозиготного варианта в гене TRIP4. Выявление генетической причины редкой формы нервно-мышечного заболевания важно для определения тактики ведения пациента и медико-генетического консультирования семьи, а также уточнения патогенеза редкой патологии

Features of mineral density of the tibia at the level of its pollination in monocondylar arthroplasty of the knee joint

Annotation. The article presents the results of measuring the bone mineral density at the level of the tibial saw cut during monocondylar arthroplasty of the knee joint using a device developed by the authors. Objective of the study – to determine the dependence of the level of bone mineral density on the thickness of the bone saw cut, the zone of its determination, the age and sex of the patients. 178 patients (147 women and 31 men) aged 50 to 79 years were examined. Mostly medial arthrosis occurred in 189, lateral – in 12 cases. In the process of carrying out monocondylar arthroplasty of the knee joint (201 joints) the mineral density of the bone tissue was determined depending on the thickness of the resection of the tibia. Slice thickness 9, 11, 13 mm. Significant discrepancies in bone mineralization of the tibia were revealed. The densest are the anterior sections of the saw cut, the least dense are the central and posterior-lateral ones. With age and thickness of the saw cut, the indicators proportionally decrease in the same relationship, and after 70 years of patients in most cases it is less than 50% of the norm. Moreover, men have higher rates of bone mineralization than women of the same age. The uneven distribution of the mineral density of the tibial bone tissue, the presence of weakly mineralized areas in the central and posterolateral sections of the saw cut, a proportional decrease in bone density in the elderly allowed us to develop a method for preventively increasing the reliability of fixation and stability of the tibial component of the endoprosthesis. This approach allowed us to review the age limits for monocondylar arthroplasty and get good long-term results.</jats:p
