Abstract
Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS) is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive subtype of neutral lipid storage disorder (NLSD); it is characterised by ichthyosis and intracytoplasmic accumulation of lipid droplets containing triglycerides, most commonly in granulocytes, muscle fibres, skin and liver. Several pathogenic variants in the ABHD5/CGI-58 gene have been described. Clinical manifestations include steatohepatitis, myopathy, ophthalmic disease, developmental delay. Liver involvement is an important cause of morbidity and mortality.
We present a case of a 26-year-old male diagnosed with ichthyotic NLSD in childhood, who developed progressive myopathy and cardiac fibrosis in adulthood. He was treated with a combination of low-fat diet, MCT oil and co-enzyme Q10 which resulted in an initial improvement in muscle strength and stabilisation of muscle symptoms and well-being.
Synopsis: Medical and dietetic management of liver and muscle complications in Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports is an open access journal that publishes molecular and metabolic reports describing investigations that use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology for studies of normal and diseased states. In addition to original research articles, sequence reports, brief communication reports and letters to the editor are considered.
