摘要:

Alstrom综合征是一种累及多系统的常染色体隐性遗传病,由ALMS1变异所致。该病发病机制尚不完全明确,缺乏有效的治疗手段且预后差。临床上该病患者发病年龄小,临床症状范围广,病情严重程度不一,这为该病的诊疗带来了困难。报告1例利用全外显子组测序(whole exome sequencing,WES)技术最终确诊的Alstrom综合征患者情况,该患者表现为充血性心力衰竭、先天性心肌病、房间隔缺损、生长发育迟缓及反复发作的肺炎,给予控制感染、强心、利尿和补钙等对症治疗,其最终预后差。经WES检测发现的ALMS1复合杂合变异c.11647_c.11648delAT(p.M3883fs*9)/c.2888_c.2897delGTGTTTTCTA(p.S963fs*15)为罕见变异。该复合杂合变异的发现为Alstrom综合征的遗传学研究提供了新的参考。

Abstract:

Alstrom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with multisystem involvement caused by the mutations in ALMS1 gene. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, the effective treatment is also lacking, and the prognosis is poor. The young age of onset, wide range of clinical symptoms and varying severity of the disease make it difficult to diagnose and treat. We report a female case of Alstrom syndrome diagnosed by whole exome sequencing (WES). The patient presented with congestive heart failure, congenital cardiomyopathy, atrial septal defect, growth retardation and recurrent pneumonia. She was given symptomatic treatments including infection control, cardiotonic, diuretic, and calcium supplementation, but the final prognosis was poor. The ALMS1 compound heterozygous variant c.11647_c.11648delAT (p.M3883fs*9)/ c.2888_c.2897del GTGTTTTCTA (p.S963fs*15) was found to be a rare variant. The discovery of this compound heterozygous variant provided a new reference for the genetic study of Alstrom syndrome.
