Syndrome de Maffucci unilatéral avec malformations lymphatiques prédominantes
Introduction Le syndrome de Maffucci (SM) est une maladie genetique extremement rare (prevalence Observation Il s’agissait d’une patiente de 51 ans, aux antecedents d’encephalopathie vasculaire sans etiologie trouvee. Elle presentait depuis l’enfance des anomalies osseuses uniquement localisees a gauche, a type d’enchondromes, certains ayant fait l’objet d’une exerese (chondrosarcome). Les anomalies cutanees etaient apparues vers l’âge de 20 ans, de maniere strictement unilaterale gauche, allant du visage au pied. On notait des lesions hypertrophiques papillomateuses, hyperkeratosiques et vesiculeuses, en particulier sur la jambe et le pubis. On notait egalement quelques macules d’allure c…
Clinical and neuroimaging findings in 33 patients with MCAP syndrome: A survey to evaluate relevant endpoints for future clinical trials
Megalencephaly-CApillary malformation-Polymicrogyria (MCAP) syndrome results from somatic mosaic gain-of-function variants in PIK3CA. Main features are macrocephaly, somatic overgrowth, cutaneous vascular malformations, connective tissue dysplasia, neurodevelopmental delay, and brain anomalies. The objectives of this study were to describe the clinical and radiological features of MCAP, to suggest relevant clinical endpoints applicable in future trials of targeted drug therapy. Based on a French collaboration, we collected clinical features of 33 patients (21 females, 12 males, median age of 9.9 years) with MCAP carrying mosaic PIK3CA pathogenic variants. MRI images were reviewed for 21 pat…
Revised nomenclature and classification of inherited ichthyoses: Results of the First Ichthyosis Consensus Conference in Soreze 2009
Background: Inherited ichthyoses belong to a large, clinically and etiologically heterogeneous group of mendelian disorders of cornification; typically involving the entire integument. Over the recent years, much progress has been made defining their molecular causes. However, there is no internationally accepted classification and terminology. Objective: We sought to establish a consensus for the nomenclature and classification of inherited ichthyoses. Methods: The classification project started at the First World Conference on Ichthyosis in 2007. A large international network of expert clinicians, skin pathologists, and geneticists entertained an interactive dialogue over 2 years, eventua…
Molecular diagnosis of PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) in 162 patients and recommendations for genetic testing.
Postzygotic activating mutations of PIK3CA cause a wide range of mosaic disorders collectively referred to as PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS). We describe the diagnostic yield and characteristics of PIK3CA sequencing in PROS. We performed ultradeep next-generation sequencing (NGS) of PIK3CA in various tissues from 162 patients referred to our clinical laboratory and assessed diagnostic yield by phenotype and tissue tested. We identified disease-causing mutations in 66.7% (108/162) of patients, with mutant allele levels as low as 1%. The diagnostic rate was higher (74%) in syndromic than in isolated cases (35.5%; P = 9.03 × 10−5). We identified 40 different mutations and found stro…
