Fibronectin glomerulopathy complicated with persistent cloaca and congenital esophageal atresia: a case report and literature review
BACKGROUND Fibronectin glomerulopathy is a rare, inherited, autosomal dominant, glomerular disease characterized by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, hypertension, massive glomerular deposits of fibronectin, and slow progression to end-stage renal failure. Because the incident of fibronectin glomerulopathy is extremely low, the pathophysiology, genetic abnormalities, epidemiology, and mechani...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
متن کاملFibronectin glomerulopathy
Fibronectin glomerulopathy occurs between the second and fifth decades of life in most patients, and it is known to be slowly progressive with mild proteinuria leading to kidney failure. The case of a 78-year-old woman with a rapid course of nephrotic syndrome due to fibronectin glomerulopathy is reported. She had proteinuria that rapidly increased to 6.8 g/day in a month and microscopic haemat...

Fibronectin (FN) is one of the essential component of the extra cellular matrix and their important role is as regulator of cellular activities and also fibronectin is an important scaffold for maintaining tissue. Fibronectin conformational changes expose additional binding sites that participate in fibril formation and in conversion of fibrils into a stabilized, insoluble form. In fact fibrone...
متن کاملComputational approach towards identification of pathogenic missense mutations in AMELX gene and their possible association with amelogenesis imperfecta
Amelogenin gene (AMEL-X) encodes an enamel protein called amelogenin, which plays a vital role in tooth development. Any mutations in this gene or the associated pathway lead to developmental abnormalities of the tooth. The present study aims to analyze functional missense mutations in AMEL-X genes and derive an association with amelogenesis imperfecta. The information on miss...
