Purpose: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disease characterized by great variability in clinical presentation and progressive multisystemic organ damage. Lack of awareness of FD and frequent misdiagnoses cause long diagnostic delays. To address the urgent need for earlier diagnosis, we created an online, risk-assessment scoring tool, the FDrisk, for predicting an individual's risk for FD and prompting diagnostic testing and clinical evaluation.

Methods: Utilizing electronic health records, data were collected retrospectively from randomly selected, deidentified patients with FD treated at the Emory Lysosomal Storage Disease Center. Deidentified, negative controls were randomly selected from the Fabry Disease Diagnostic Testing and Education project database, a program within the American Association of Kidney Patients Center for Patient Education and Research. Diagnosis of FD was documented by evidence of a pathogenic variant in GLA and/or an abnormal level of leukocyte α-Gal A. Thirty characteristic clinical features of FD were initially identified and subsequently curated into 16 clinical covariates used as predictors for the risk of FD. An overall prediction model and two sex-specific prediction models were built. Two-hundred and sixty samples (130 cases, 130 controls) were used to train the risk prediction models. One-hundred and ninety-seven independent samples (30 cases, 167 controls) were used for testing model performance. Prediction accuracy was evaluated using a threshold of 0.5 to determine a predicted case vs. control.

Results: The overall risk prediction model demonstrated 80% sensitivity, 83.8% specificity, and positive predictive value of 47.1%. The male model demonstrated 75% sensitivity, 95.8% specificity, and positive predictive value of 75%. The female model demonstrated 83.3% sensitivity, 81.3% specificity, and positive predictive value of 45.5%. Patients with risk scores at or above 50% are categorized as "at risk" for FD and should be sent for diagnostic testing.

Conclusion: We have developed a statistical risk prediction model, the FDrisk, a validated, clinician-friendly, online, risk-assessment scoring tool for predicting an individual's risk for FD and prompting diagnostic testing and clinical evaluation. As an easily accessible, user-friendly scoring tool, we believe implementing the FDrisk will significantly decrease the time to diagnosis and allow earlier initiation of FD-specific therapy.

目的:法布里病(Fabry disease,FD)是一种罕见的 X 连锁溶酶体贮积病,其特点是临床表现千变万化,并伴有进行性多系统器官损害。由于人们对法布里病缺乏认识,而且经常出现误诊,导致诊断延误了很长时间。为了解决早期诊断的迫切需求,我们创建了一个在线风险评估评分工具--FDrisk,用于预测个体罹患FD的风险,并提示诊断检测和临床评估:方法:利用电子健康记录,从埃默里溶酶体储积症中心随机挑选的、身份不明的FD患者中回顾性收集数据。从法布里病诊断检测和教育项目数据库(美国肾脏病患者协会患者教育和研究中心的一个项目)中随机选取了身份不明的阴性对照。法布里病的诊断依据是 GLA 中的致病变异和/或白细胞 α-Gal A 水平异常的证据。建立了一个总体预测模型和两个性别特异性预测模型。260 个样本(130 个病例,130 个对照)被用于训练风险预测模型。一百九十七个独立样本(30 个病例,167 个对照组)用于测试模型性能。预测的准确性以 0.5 为阈值进行评估,以确定预测的病例与对照:总体风险预测模型的灵敏度为 80%,特异性为 83.8%,阳性预测值为 47.1%。男性模型的灵敏度为 75%,特异度为 95.8%,阳性预测值为 75%。女性模型的灵敏度为 83.3%,特异性为 81.3%,阳性预测值为 45.5%。风险评分达到或超过 50%的患者被归类为 FD 的 "高危 "人群,应送往医院进行诊断检测:我们开发了一种统计风险预测模型--FDrisk,它是一种经过验证的、方便临床医生使用的在线风险评估评分工具,用于预测个人罹患 FD 的风险,并提示进行诊断测试和临床评估。作为一种易于使用、用户友好的评分工具,我们相信实施 FDrisk 将大大缩短诊断时间,并能更早地开始针对 FD 的治疗。

Abstract Alport syndrome is a rare genetic disease that results in disordered basement membrane type IV collagen resulting in haematuria, proteinuria and often development of renal fibrosis leading to progressive kidney disease. The therapeutic blockage of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which slows the progression to kidney failure, is supported by strong evidence. Recent clinical trials using sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) in patients with chronic kidney disease have changed the therapeutic landscape. Patients with Alport syndrome and progressive kidney disease may benefit from treatment with MRAs because research has shown that these drugs are nephroprotective through a variety of mechanisms, including by preventing fibrosis. Ongoing clinical trials show great promise in order to help establish the long-term safety and efficacy of Finerenone, a MRA. This review discusses the evidence for the use of MRAs as a potential treatment in Alport syndrome that may slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and prevent patients reaching kidney failure.
Alport综合征是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,导致基底膜IV型胶原蛋白紊乱,导致血尿、蛋白尿,并常发展为肾纤维化,导致进行性肾脏疾病。肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统的治疗性阻断,可以减缓肾功能衰竭的进展,这是有强有力证据支持的。最近在慢性肾病患者中使用钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白-2 (SGLT2)抑制剂和矿皮质激素受体拮抗剂(MRA)的临床试验已经改变了治疗前景。患有Alport综合征和进行性肾脏疾病的患者可能受益于mra治疗,因为研究表明这些药物通过多种机制具有肾保护作用,包括预防纤维化。正在进行的临床试验显示出巨大的希望,以帮助建立芬纳酮(一种MRA)的长期安全性和有效性。这篇综述讨论了MRAs作为一种潜在的治疗Alport综合征的证据,它可以减缓慢性肾脏疾病的进展并防止患者达到肾衰竭。

Abstract Purpose Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal myopathy, cardiomyopathy, and exercise intolerance due to early fatigue. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and validity of a new phone application designed to capture multi-dimensional aspects of fatigue across the lifespan. The specific study aims were to (1) assess the feasibility of using the app to record perceived fatigue levels in real-time, (2) evaluate discriminant validity by assessing if the app can differentiate between those with and without BTHS, and (3) content validity by assessing the relationship between perceived energy levels and actual energy expenditure. Methods Eighteen participants with BTHS and 18 age-matched control participants completed the study. The participants wore an activity tracker for 14 days and were prompted to respond to an Android app to report their fatigue levels 6 × /day. Statistical analysis was completed to examine perceived fatigue and the relationship between reported fatigue and actual energy expenditure. Results Feasibility was supported by the majority of participants responding to at least 50% of the application prompts and scores indicative of good internal consistency between responses (92–95%) and reliability of the battery scale ( p < .001). Discriminant validity of the app was only partially supported, with the number of “crashes” being significantly different between those with and without BTHS ( p = 0.042). Other measures of perceived fatigue were not found to be significantly different between groups, even though individuals with BTHS showed significantly lower energy expenditure than control participants during the day as measured by actigraphy ( p < 0.001). Content validity of the app was supported, with perceived energy levels significantly correlating with actual energy expenditure collected with the activity tracker ( p < 0.001). Conclusions In summary, the phone app developed by our team allowed researchers to capture the lived experience of individuals with BTHS while also capturing objective data. We verified that the app was able to consistently and accurately capture participant-reported fatigue. The battery scale tested as part of our feasibility aim was successful in capturing perceived levels of energy and can be used as a valid measure of fatigue in future studies. It was interesting to note that “crashes” appear to be the main differentiating factor in fatigue between the BTHS and control participants, where other measures of perceived fatigue were not found to be significantly different. These results highlight the complex nature of measuring fatigue as a subjective construct. This study provides foundational information on methods for quantifying fatigue in adults, adolescents, and children with BTHS and can provide possible targets for future therapeutic trials.
【摘要】目的Barth综合征(BTHS)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,以早期疲劳引起的骨骼肌病、心肌病和运动不耐为特征。本研究的目的是测试一种新的手机应用程序的可行性和有效性,该应用程序旨在捕捉整个生命周期中疲劳的多维方面。具体的研究目的是(1)评估使用应用程序实时记录感知疲劳水平的可行性,(2)通过评估应用程序是否可以区分有和没有BTHS的人来评估判别效度,以及(3)通过评估感知能量水平与实际能量消耗之间的关系来评估内容效度。方法18例BTHS患者和18例年龄匹配的对照组完成研究。参与者佩戴活动追踪器14天,并被提示对一个安卓应用程序做出反应,报告他们每天6次的疲劳程度。统计分析完成检查感知疲劳和报告疲劳和实际能量消耗之间的关系。结果:大多数参与者至少回应了50%的应用提示,可行性得到了支持,得分表明反应之间的内部一致性(92-95%)和电池量表的可靠性(p <措施)。应用程序的判别效度仅得到部分支持,有和没有BTHS的应用程序的“崩溃”次数显著不同(p = 0.042)。尽管BTHS患者在白天的能量消耗明显低于对照组(p <0.001)。支持应用程序的内容有效性,感知能量水平与活动跟踪器收集的实际能量消耗显著相关(p <0.001)。综上所述,我们团队开发的手机应用程序可以让研究人员在获取客观数据的同时,捕捉到BTHS患者的生活体验。我们验证了该应用程序能够持续准确地捕捉参与者报告的疲劳。作为我们可行性目标的一部分,测试的电池规模成功地捕获了可感知的能量水平,并且可以在未来的研究中用作疲劳的有效测量。有趣的是,“崩溃”似乎是BTHS和对照参与者之间疲劳的主要区分因素,而其他感知疲劳的措施没有发现显着差异。这些结果突出了测量疲劳作为一个主观结构的复杂性。本研究为量化成人、青少年和儿童BTHS患者的疲劳提供了基础信息,并为未来的治疗试验提供了可能的目标。

Abstract Background Oculo-pharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare disease, caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion in the PABPN1 gene, inherited in an autosomal dominant (AD) manner. Its main features are eyelid ptosis and dysphagia, which manifest at the end of the fifth decade of life. Other symptoms include proximal muscle weakness and bulbar muscle weakness. Although OPMD is prevalent worldwide, a higher prevalence has been reported in the Jewish population from Bukhara. Currently, no specific drugs are available for OPMD. Objective Our National Israeli Registry for Oculo-Pharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (IsrO-PMD) study aims to provide a framework for the assessment and documentation of the natural history of the diseases as we as a multi-disciplinary management of patients with OPMD. The IsrO-PMD may be the cornerstone of future clinical trials for novel therapies for OPMD. Methods The IsrO-PMD is a national prospective registry that involves non-interventional data collection based on the Global Rare Diseases Patient Registry (GRDPR) and data repository standard. Inclusion criteria are clinical diagnosis of OPMD and positive genetic testing. Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be examined using a series of multi-disciplinary investigations and questionnaires including periodic follow-up examinations. Specific attention is given to comprehensive neurological, swallowing, and ophthalmological evaluations. Discussion The establishment of this national registry will enhance our understanding of the natural history of OPMD, establish quality care benchmarks, and develop treatment strategies in addressing the multi-system pathophysiology of the disease and associated comorbidities. Our registry provides a foundation for the use of new cutting-edge treatments as they become available.
摘要背景眼咽肌营养不良症(OPMD)是一种罕见的疾病,由PABPN1基因三核苷酸重复扩增引起,以常染色体显性遗传(AD)方式遗传。其主要特征是眼睑下垂和吞咽困难,在生命的第五个十年结束时表现出来。其他症状包括近端肌无力和球肌无力。虽然OPMD在世界范围内普遍存在,但据报道,在布哈拉的犹太人中患病率更高。目前,没有针对OPMD的特定药物。我们的以色列眼咽肌萎缩症国家登记(IsrO-PMD)研究旨在为评估和记录疾病的自然史提供一个框架,作为OPMD患者的多学科管理。IsrO-PMD可能是未来OPMD新疗法临床试验的基石。IsrO-PMD是一个基于全球罕见病患者登记(GRDPR)和数据存储库标准的非介入性数据收集的国家前瞻性登记。纳入标准为临床诊断为OPMD和基因检测阳性。符合纳入标准的患者将通过一系列多学科调查和问卷调查进行检查,包括定期随访检查。特别注意给予全面的神经学、吞咽和眼科评估。建立这一国家登记处将加强我们对OPMD自然史的理解,建立高质量的护理基准,并制定治疗策略,以解决该病的多系统病理生理和相关合并症。我们的登记为使用新的尖端治疗方法提供了一个基础。

Abstract We report an adolescent male who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). He was diagnosed to have type 1 diabetes mellitus at the age of 12 years and had been initiated on insulin. On physical examination, he had a distinct senile-looking coarse facies with clinical stigmata of insulin resistance in the form of acanthosis nigricans and hypertrichosis. Additionally, he required more than 3 units/kg/day of insulin during recovery from DKA. The clinical and biochemical profile of the patient led to the suspicion of insulin resistance syndrome which was confirmed by the detection of homozygous missense variation in exon 2 of the insulin receptor gene ( INSR ) on clinical exome testing. The patient was put on insulin sensitizers along with insulin which led to a marked improvement in glycemic control. The case highlights the importance of a good clinical examination for a correct diagnosis and discusses the challenges in management.
摘要我们报告一位青少年男性糖尿病酮症酸中毒(DKA)。他在12岁时被诊断出患有1型糖尿病,并开始使用胰岛素。体格检查,他有明显的老年粗糙相,并有胰岛素抵抗的临床印记,表现为黑棘皮病和多毛。此外,在DKA恢复期间,他需要超过3单位/公斤/天的胰岛素。临床外显子组检测发现胰岛素受体基因(INSR)外显子2纯合错义变异,证实了患者的临床和生化特征导致胰岛素抵抗综合征的怀疑。患者在服用胰岛素的同时服用胰岛素增敏剂,血糖控制有明显改善。该病例强调了良好的临床检查对正确诊断的重要性,并讨论了管理方面的挑战。

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the demographic and clinical data of patients with type 1 Gaucher disease, a rare disease, at a single centre. Methods The data of patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were followed up at the Endocrinology Department of Erciyes University’s Medical Faculty Hospital between 2019 and 2021 were evaluated. Results We evaluated 13 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were diagnosed or followed up at our centre and whose data could be accessed. Four of the patients were male, and nine were female. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 33 (± 11.32) years. Hepatomegaly was present in 11 of the 13 patients. Eight of the 13 patients had splenomegaly. Three patients had undergone splenectomy. The liver and spleen dimensions of two patients were normal. The platelet count was normal in three of the 10 patients without a history of undergoing splenectomy. Bone densitometry revealed that six patients had a lumbar z-score of ≤ − 2.5. Five patients had a score between − 1 and − 2.5, and two patients had a normal z-score. The mean treatment duration was 36 (± 19.46) months. All our patients were administered enzyme replacement therapy. Conclusion Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disease that affects many systems. It causes irreversible morbidity in patients in whom diagnosis is delayed. The main treatment modality was enzyme replacement therapy. Because it is a rare and multisystemic disease, patients should be followed up at centres with experience in treating Gaucher disease.
摘要目的评价1型戈谢病(一种罕见病)患者的人口统计学和临床资料。方法分析2019 - 2021年在埃尔西耶斯大学医学院附属医院内分泌科随访的1型戈谢病患者的资料。结果我们评估了13例在本中心诊断或随访的1型戈谢病患者,这些患者的资料可以获得。4名患者为男性,9名患者为女性。确诊时的平均年龄为33(±11.32)岁。13例患者中有11例出现肝肿大。13例患者中有8例脾肿大。3例患者行脾切除术。2例肝脾尺寸正常。10例无脾切除术史的患者中有3例血小板计数正常。骨密度测量显示,6例患者腰椎z-评分≤- 2.5。5例患者得分在- 1到- 2.5之间,2例患者z-score正常。平均治疗时间36(±19.46)个月。所有患者均接受酶替代治疗。结论戈谢病是一种罕见的多系统溶酶体积存病。在诊断延迟的患者中,它会导致不可逆转的发病率。主要治疗方式为酶替代疗法。由于这是一种罕见的多系统疾病,患者应在具有治疗戈谢病经验的中心随访。

Methods The data of patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were followed up at the Endocrinology Department of Erciyes University’s Medical Faculty Hospital between 2019 and 2021 were evaluated. Results We evaluated 13 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were diagnosed or followed up at our centre and whose data could be accessed. Four of the patients were male, and nine were female. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 33 (± 11.32) years. Hepatomegaly was present in 11 of the 13 patients. Eight of the 13 patients had splenomegaly. Three patients had undergone splenectomy. The liver and spleen dimensions of two patients were normal. The platelet count was normal in three of the 10 patients without a history of undergoing splenectomy. Bone densitometry revealed that six patients had a lumbar z-score of ≤ − 2.5. Five patients had a score between − 1 and − 2.5, and two patients had a normal z-score. The mean treatment duration was 36 (± 19.46) months. All our patients were administered enzyme replacement therapy. Conclusion Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disease that affects many systems. It causes irreversible morbidity in patients in whom diagnosis is delayed.
