Abstract

Amaç: Peroksizomal hastalıklar (PH’lar), otozomal resesif geçiş gösteren ve birçok farklı klinik şekilde ortaya çıkabilen doğumsal hastalıklardır. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde tanı alan ve izlenen PH tanısı almış olan olguların klinik ve laboratuvar bulgularının ve moleküler genetik özelliklerinin geriye dönük olarak incelenmesi planlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma Dr. Sami Ulus Kadın Doğum, Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, çocuk metabolizma bölümünde gerçekleştirildi. Ocak 2020 ile Aralık 2020 tarihlerinde, PH şüphesiyle çok uzun zincirli yağ asitleri (ÇUZYA) analizi yapılmış olan hastaların verileri derlendi. 1 yıl içerisinde çeşitli gerekçelerle ÇUZYA analiz edilmiş olan hastalardan, 71 tanesinde anormal değerler tesbit edilmişti. Bu hastaların 20 tanesinde moleküler genetik analiz yöntemleri ile PH’lar araştırılmış ve 6 hastada tesbit edilmişti. Pozitif sonuç elde edilen hastaların verileri hasta dosyalarından derlendi.

Bulgular: Altı hastanın verileri geriye yönelik olarak incelendi. Hastaların tanıları şu şekildeydi: Zellweger sendromu (3 hasta), Rizomelik kondrodisplazi punktata tip 1 (2 hasta), AMACR eksikliği (1 hasta). Hastaların başvuru yaşları yenidoğan dönemi ve 6 yaş arasında değişmekteydi. Başlıca başvuru semptomları hipotoni, gelişme geriliği beslenme güçlüğü ve dismorfik yüz bulgularıydı. Tüm hastalarda multisistemik tutulum tesbit edildi. Hastaların laboratuvar incelemelerinde transaminaz yüksekliği en sık saptanan patolojik bulguydu. Bütün hastaların ÇUZYA analizinde yüksek değerler tesbit edildi. Hastaların hepsinde altta yatan genetik patoloji moleküler genetik analiz yöntemleri ile gösterildi (PEX1, PEX5, PEX6, PEX7, PEX12, PEX 26 ve AMACR genleri). Zellweger sendromu tanılı iki hastaya kolik asit tedavisi uygulandı.


Sonuç:
PH’lar nadir görülen ve farklı klinik bulgularla seyredebilen doğumsal metabolik hastalıklardır. Her ne kadar PH’ın kesin tanısında genetik panel analizleri kullanılsa da, ÇUZYA analizi tanı için yönlendirici olan kolay ve hızlı bir tanısal testtir. Bu nedenle, özellikle görme ve işitme bozukluğu, karaciğer patolojisi ve dismorfik bulguları olan hastalarda tarama programlarına eklenmelidir.

Abstract

Objective: Peroxisomal diseases (PDs) are autosomal recessively inherited inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) that have a wide range of clinical presentations, with variable severity. The aim of this study was to describe cases with various subtypes of PDs with different clinical presentations and to increase the awareness of pediatricians to this metabolic disorder.


Material and Methods:
The study was conducted in Dr. Sami Ulus Maternity and Child Health Treatment and Research Hospital, division of pediatric metabolism, between December 2020 and January 2021. Patients of whom very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) were analysed due to various conditions between January 2020 and December 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Among patients that VLCFA analyses were performed, 71 tests were found to have abnormal results and 20 of these patients had undergone molecular genetic analysis with the suspicion of PDs. An underlying genetic pathology was detected in 6 patients. Data of patients were obtained from patients files.


Results:
Six patients were evaluated. Diagnoses of patients were as following: Zellweger spectrum disorders (n=4), rhisomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 (n=1), and AMACR deficiency (n=1). Age of onset of clinical symptoms ranged from the neonatal period to 6 years. Main clinical symptoms were hypotonia, developmental delay and dysmorphic findings. Three patients had cataracts and 5 had sensorineural deafness. Elevated transaminases were detected in 5/6 patients, of whom 4 had abnormal liver function tests. VLCFAs were found to be elevated in all patients. Variants in PEX1, PEX5, PEX6, PEX7, PEX12, PEX 26 and AMACR genes were detected. Patients with liver insufficiency received cholic acid treatment.

Conclusion: PDs are very rare IEMs that comprise various subtypes with range of clinical phenotypes with different clinical presentations. Although genetic panel analyses is required for the diagnosis of, VLCFA analysis is a very simple and quick tool for the detection of PDs, and should be included in the screening of patients with visual and hearing impairments, liver disease and dysmorphic findings.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography.
