Abstract
Pseudo-Bartter's (PB) syndrome is characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and failure to thrive which constitutes a rare but typical presentation of cystic fibrosis (CF) in children. The most common mutation of CF is F508del, due to loss of 3 base pairs, causing deletion of phenylalanine, at position 508. We present a case of CF presenting with failure to thrive, dehydration, PB syndrome associated with urosepsis and primo-colonization with Escherichia coli suggesting the role of epigenetic factors. The heterozygous state for Phe508del mutation in Exon 11 combination with Glu92Ala in Exon 4 resulted in epigenetic effect on atypical phenotype as PBS, a novel mutation identified in our case.
期刊介绍:
The primary mission of the journal is to promote improvement in the health and well-being of community through the development and practice of clinical biochemistry and dissemination of knowledge and recent advances in this discipline among professionals, diagnostics industry, government and non-government organizations. Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry (IJCB) publishes peer reviewed articles that contribute to the existing knowledge in all fields of Clinical biochemistry, either experimental or theoretical, particularly deal with the applications of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, and immunology to the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prevention of human diseases. The articles published also include those covering the analytical and molecular diagnostic techniques, instrumentation, data processing, quality assurance and accreditation aspects of the clinical investigations in which chemistry has played a major role, or laboratory animal studies with biochemical and clinical relevance.
