Primarily, the three major types of concerns associated with Fabry disease observed during adulthood that must be prevented are central nervous system, renal, and cardiac complications. Cardiac complications, such as cardiomyopathy, cardiac muscle fibrosis, and severe arrhythmia, are the most common mortality causes in patients with Fabry disease. To predict cardiac complications of Fabry disease, we extracted RNA from the venous blood of patients for cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE), performed likelihood ratio tests for each RNA expression dataset obtained from individuals with and without cardiac complications, and analyzed the correlation between cardiac functional factors observed using magnetic resonance imaging data extracted using artificial intelligence algorithms and RNA expression. Our findings showed that CHN1 expression was significantly higher in male Fabry disease patients with cardiac complications and that it could be associated with many cardiac functional factors. <em>CHN1</em> encodes a GTPase-activating protein, chimerin 1, which is specific to the GTP-binding protein Rac (involved in oxidative stress generation and the promotion of myocardial fibrosis). Thus, CHN1 is a potential predictive biomarker of cardiac complications in Fabry disease; however, further studies are required to confirm this observation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18814,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 101152"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heterogeneous phenotypes associated with MADD have been classified into three groups: neonatal onset with congenital anomalies (type 1), neonatal onset without congenital anomalies (type 2), and attenuated and/or later onset (type 3). Here, we present two cases with biochemical profiles mimicking late-onset MADD but negative genetic testing, associated with the use of sertraline, a commonly used antidepressant. Case 1 is a 22 yo woman diagnosed with depression and profound fatigue who was referred to the metabolic clinic because of carnitine deficiency and a plasma acylcarnitine profile with a MADD-like pattern. Case 2 is a 61 yo woman with a history of chronic fatigue who was admitted to the emergency department with difficulty swallowing, metabolic acidosis, and mild rhabdomyolysis. Plasma acylcarnitine profile showed a MADD-like pattern. The muscle biopsy revealed lipid droplet accumulation and proliferation of mitochondria with abnormal osmiophilic inclusions, and a biochemical assay of the respiratory chain showed a deficit in complex II activity. In both cases, urine organic acid profile was normal, and genetic tests did not detect variants in the genes involved in MADD. Sertraline was on their list of medications and considering its association with inhibition of mitochondrial function and rhabdomyolysis, the team recommended the discontinuation under medical supervision. In Case 1 after discontinuation, the plasma acylcarnitine test normalized, only to return abnormal when the patient resumed sertraline. In Case 2, after sertraline was discontinued rhabdomyolysis resolved, and the muscle biopsy and biochemical assay of the respiratory chain normalized. Although sertraline is considered a safe drug, these two cases suggest that the use of sertraline may be associated with a potentially reversible form of mitochondrial dysfunction mimicking MADD. Further studies are needed to confirm and estimate the risk of MADD-like presentations with the use of sertraline, as well as identifying additional contributing factors, including genetic factors.
