A CF patient with progressive proteinuric renal disease: a CF-specific nodular glomerulosclerosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystemic disease but without a classical disease-specific renal phenotype. A 32-year-old male patient with CF (ΔF508/ΔF508) presented with a nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed nodular glomerulosclerosis (NGS) occurring in the absence of diabetes mellitus, amyloidosis and any other known common cause of NGS. He had a progressive decline in estimated glomerul...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of hematological abnormalities of patients with MYH9 mutations.
Mutations of MYH9, the gene for non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA), cause a complex clinical phenotype characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and granulocyte inclusion bodies, often associated with deafness, cataracts and/or glomerulonephritis. The pathogenetic mechanisms of these defects are either completely unknown or controversial. In particular, it is a matter of debate whether ...

متن کاملThree Novel Mutations in Iranian Patients with Tay-Sachs Disease
Background: Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), or GM2 gangliosidosis, is a lethal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by a deficiency of beta-hexosaminidase A (HEXA), resulting in lysosomal accumulation of GM2 ganglioside. The aim of this study was to identify the TSD-causing mutations in an Iranian population. Methods: In this study, we examined 31 patients for TSD-causing m...
متن کاملMYH9 Mutation, the Hidden Face of Diverse Disease Spectrum - from Renal Perspective. Renal Perspective of MYH9 Mutation
MYH9 gene mutation results in a spectrum of diseases, such as May -Heglin anomaly and Epstein syndrome, depending upon the type of isoforms involved [1]. This mutation is inherited as an autosomal dominant entity and the gene encodes for non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA) which is a part of myosin superfamily. The exact incidence of this disease in different populations is yet to be ...
