Fatty liver disease and hypertransaminasemia hiding the association of clinically silent Duchenne muscular dystrophy and hereditary fructose intolerance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case with the association of well self-compensated hereditary fructose intolerance and still poorly symptomatic Duchenne type muscular dystrophy. This case illustrates the problems of a correct diagnosis in sub-clinical patients presenting with "cryptogenic" hypertransaminasemia.

P164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...

Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...

Background Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophies (MD) are allelic X-linked recessive disorders, caused by mutation of the dystrophin gene located at locus Xp21 that consists of 79 exons, characterized by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration and replacement by fibro fatty tissue. Dystrophin is a sarcolemal protein that links the cytoskeleton to the basal lamina and is essentia...
متن کاملGenetic disorder in carbohydrates metabolism: hereditary fructose intolerance associated with celiac disease.
Celiac disease (CD) has been associated with several genetic and immune disorders, but association between CD and hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is extremely rare. HFI is an autosomal recessive disease caused by catalytic deficiency of aldolase B (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase). We report the case of a 5-year-old boy suffering from CD, admitted with an initial diagnosis of Reye's-li...

Cardiac as well as skeletal muscle is affected in the severe X-linked recessive form of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Clinically this is evidenced by persistent tachycardia, arrhythmias; nonspecific murmurs and sudden death from cardiac failure is common in this disorder. Histological evidence of cardiac muscle involvement includes variation in fibre size, hyalinization, fatty infiltration, and ...
