AbstractTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease associated with tumors and malformed tissues in the brain and other vital organs. We report a novel de novo frameshift variant of the TSC1 gene (c.434dup;p. Ser146Valfs*8) in a child with TSC who initially presented with a sacral teratoma. This previously unreported association between TSC and teratoma has broad implications for the pathophysiology of embryonic tumors and mechanisms underlying cellular differentiation.

Variable Penetrance

Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant condition with variable penetrance. It is characterized by tuberose deposits in various organ systems. Although clinical features predominate neurocutaneous manifestations, cardiac, kidney, and lung involvement are common. Cardiac involvement is marked by the presence of multiple rhabdomyomas and in some cases arrhythmias. In the absence of symptoms, rhabdomyomas require no specific treatment. However, cardiac arrhythmias are unpredictable and may be the cause of sudden cardiac death in some cases. Although treatment is mainly symptomatic, drugs like rapamycin have shown promise in the regression of astrocytomas and angiofibromas. Here, we are reporting two cases of tuberous sclerosis of which one succumbed to arrhythmias and the other to possible sudden cardiac death.

Variable Expression

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) also known as Bournneville disease. TSC is a multisystemic genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, of variable expression, which is mainly characterized by the presence of benign tumors or hamartomas in the nervous system and skin, but which may also be present in the heart, kidney, lung and other organs. The most frequent symptom is epilepsy, affecting 80-90% of patients with TSC which manifests itself in childhood between 1 to 3 years of age. We present a case of sporadic onset tuberous sclerosis with epilepsy that had a causal link with TSC after admission to the emergency room in a convulsive status.

Binocular Diplopia

The tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare disease, with autosomal dominant transmission, with multisystemic involvement including ophthalmologic. Retinal hamartomas and retinal achromic patch are the most frequent ocular findings. Other ophthalmic signs and symptoms are relatively rare in this disease.We describe the case of a young woman with tuberous sclerosis who presented with horizontal binocular diplopia and decreased visual acuity without complaints of nausea, vomiting or headache. She had right abducens nerve palsy, pale oedema of both optic discs and retinal hamartomas. An obstructive hydrocephalus caused by an intraventricular expansive lesion was identified in brain CT.Observation by the ophthalmologist is indicated in all confirmed or suspected cases of tuberous sclerosis to aid in clinical diagnosis, monitoring of retinal hamartomas or identification of poorly symptomatic papilloedema.

Поликистозная болезнь почек (ПП) является клинически и генетически гетерогенной группой заболеваний, может наследоваться как аутосомно-доминантно (АД), так и аутосомно-рецессивно (АР). К развитию АР ПП приводят мутации в гене PKHD1. Большинство мутаций при АД ПП находят в гене PKD1 (80-85%). Примерно в 15% случаев мутации выявляют в гене PKD2. Клиническое и генетическое разнообразие ПП требует поиска мутаций в нескольких генах, поэтому он является трудоемким, дорогостоящим и требует много времени. Метод массового параллельного секвенирования (МПС) позволяет проводить поиск мутаций в нескольких генах одновременно независимо от их размера. Проведен поиск мутаций в 254 семьях с ПП методом МПС с использованием панели, включающей гены PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B и GANAB. Два варианта в гене PKHD1 было идентифицировано в 49 семьях (19%), один вариант найден в 9 случаях (3,5%); в гене PKD1 обнаружено 62 варианта (24,5%), в гене PKD2 - 6 вариантов (2,5%), в гене HNF1B - 9 вариантов (3,5%). В 119 семьях, что составило 47%, мутации найдены не были. У больных из семей с генеалогически установленным АД типом наследования в большинстве случаев (39 из 66; 59%) выявлены варианты в гене PKD1, приводящие к ПП. Из 59 изолированных случаев ПП в 17% (10 человек) идентифицированы 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 20% (12 человек) - в гене PKD1. При неизвестном типе наследования (129 случаев) в 29,5% (38 чел.) найдены 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 8,5% (11 чел.) - в гене PKD1, в 3% (4 чел.) - в гене PKD2, в 4% (5 чел.) - в гене HNF1B. Таким образом, МПС относительно быстро позволяет проводить молекулярно-генетический анализ одновременно в нескольких генах у больных с признаками ПП. Polycystic kidney disease is a heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disorders with age of manifestation varying from prenatal period to adulthood. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. Approximately 85% of all autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, and around 15% - by mutations in the PKD2 gene. All these genes are large, and mutations were found to be scattered throughout the genes without any clustering. Therefore, mutation detection requires a lot of time, money, and effort. Due to clinical and genetic diversity of polycystic kidney disease, the search for mutations has to be carried out in several genes. Mass parallel sequencing (MPS) allows to analyze several genes simultaneously regardless of their size. 254 families with polycystic kidney disease were examined using mass parallel sequencing with a gene panel that included PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B and GANAB. Two variants in PKHD1 were found in 49 families (19%), one variant - in 9 families (3.5%); in PKD1 62 variants were detected (24.5%), in PKD2 - 6 variants (2.5%), in HNF1B - 9 variants (3.5%). In 119 families (47%) there were no mutations in the target genes. Among 66 patients from families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, 39 patients (59%) had mutations in the PKD1 gene. Out of 59 sporadic cases, 10 patients (17%) had 2 variants in PНKD1, 12 patients (20%) - in PKD1. 38 patients (29.5%) out of 129 patients with unknown type of inheritance had 2 variants in PНKD1, 11 patients (8.5%) - in PKD1, 4 patients (3%) - in PKD2, 5 patients (4%) - in HNF1B. Mass parallel sequencing allows to carry out relatively rapid molecular genetic analysis of several genes simultaneously for patients with symptoms of polycystic kidney disease.
