Kidney failure of unknown aetiology remains a frequent diagnostic label within the haemodialysis unit and kidney transplant clinic, accounting for 15-20% of these patients. Approximately 10% of such cases may have an underlying monogenic cause of kidney failure. Modern genetic approaches can provide a precise diagnosis for patients and their families. A search for extra-renal disease manifestations is also important as this may point to a specific genetic diagnosis. Here, we present two patients where molecular genetic testing was performed because of kidney failure of unknown aetiology and associated retinal phenotypes. The first patient reached kidney failure at 16 years of age but only presented with a retinal phenotype at 59 years of age and was found to have evidence of rod-cone dystrophy. The second patient presented with childhood kidney failure at the age of 15 years and developed visual difficulties and photophobia at the age of 32 years and was diagnosed with cone dystrophy. In both cases, genetic tests were performed which revealed a homozygous whole-gene deletion of <i>NPHP1</i>-encoding nephrocystin-1, providing the unifying diagnosis of Senior-Løken syndrome type 1. We conclude that reviewing kidney and extra-renal phenotypes together with targeted genetic testing was informative in these cases of kidney failure of unknown aetiology and associated retinal phenotypes. The involvement of an interdisciplinary team is advisable when managing such patients and allows referral to other relevant specialities. The long time lag and lack of diagnostic clarity and clinical evaluation in our cases should encourage genetic investigations for every young patient with unexplained kidney failure. For these and similar patients, a more timely genetic diagnosis would allow for improved management, a risk assessment of kidney disease in relatives, and the earlier identification of extra-renal disease manifestations.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s44162-024-00031-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":73925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of rare diseases (Berlin, Germany)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10904492/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140023602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The therapeutic blockage of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which slows the progression to kidney failure, is supported by strong evidence. Recent clinical trials using sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) in patients with chronic kidney disease have changed the therapeutic landscape. Patients with Alport syndrome and progressive kidney disease may benefit from treatment with MRAs because research has shown that these drugs are nephroprotective through a variety of mechanisms, including by preventing fibrosis. Ongoing clinical trials show great promise in order to help establish the long-term safety and efficacy of Finerenone, a MRA. This review discusses the evidence for the use of MRAs as a potential treatment in Alport syndrome that may slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and prevent patients reaching kidney failure.","PeriodicalId":73925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of rare diseases (Berlin, Germany)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and validity of a new phone application designed to capture multi-dimensional aspects of fatigue across the lifespan. The specific study aims were to (1) assess the feasibility of using the app to record perceived fatigue levels in real-time, (2) evaluate discriminant validity by assessing if the app can differentiate between those with and without BTHS, and (3) content validity by assessing the relationship between perceived energy levels and actual energy expenditure. Methods Eighteen participants with BTHS and 18 age-matched control participants completed the study. The participants wore an activity tracker for 14 days and were prompted to respond to an Android app to report their fatigue levels 6 × /day. Statistical analysis was completed to examine perceived fatigue and the relationship between reported fatigue and actual energy expenditure. Results Feasibility was supported by the majority of participants responding to at least 50% of the application prompts and scores indicative of good internal consistency between responses (92–95%) and reliability of the battery scale ( p < .001). Discriminant validity of the app was only partially supported, with the number of “crashes” being significantly different between those with and without BTHS ( p = 0.042). Other measures of perceived fatigue were not found to be significantly different between groups, even though individuals with BTHS showed significantly lower energy expenditure than control participants during the day as measured by actigraphy ( p < 0.001). Content validity of the app was supported, with perceived energy levels significantly correlating with actual energy expenditure collected with the activity tracker ( p < 0.001). Conclusions In summary, the phone app developed by our team allowed researchers to capture the lived experience of individuals with BTHS while also capturing objective data. We verified that the app was able to consistently and accurately capture participant-reported fatigue. The battery scale tested as part of our feasibility aim was successful in capturing perceived levels of energy and can be used as a valid measure of fatigue in future studies. It was interesting to note that “crashes” appear to be the main differentiating factor in fatigue between the BTHS and control participants, where other measures of perceived fatigue were not found to be significantly different. These results highlight the complex nature of measuring fatigue as a subjective construct. This study provides foundational information on methods for quantifying fatigue in adults, adolescents, and children with BTHS and can provide possible targets for future therapeutic trials.","PeriodicalId":73925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of rare diseases (Berlin, Germany)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its main features are eyelid ptosis and dysphagia, which manifest at the end of the fifth decade of life. Other symptoms include proximal muscle weakness and bulbar muscle weakness. Although OPMD is prevalent worldwide, a higher prevalence has been reported in the Jewish population from Bukhara. Currently, no specific drugs are available for OPMD. Objective Our National Israeli Registry for Oculo-Pharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (IsrO-PMD) study aims to provide a framework for the assessment and documentation of the natural history of the diseases as we as a multi-disciplinary management of patients with OPMD. The IsrO-PMD may be the cornerstone of future clinical trials for novel therapies for OPMD. Methods The IsrO-PMD is a national prospective registry that involves non-interventional data collection based on the Global Rare Diseases Patient Registry (GRDPR) and data repository standard. Inclusion criteria are clinical diagnosis of OPMD and positive genetic testing. Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be examined using a series of multi-disciplinary investigations and questionnaires including periodic follow-up examinations. Specific attention is given to comprehensive neurological, swallowing, and ophthalmological evaluations. Discussion The establishment of this national registry will enhance our understanding of the natural history of OPMD, establish quality care benchmarks, and develop treatment strategies in addressing the multi-system pathophysiology of the disease and associated comorbidities. Our registry provides a foundation for the use of new cutting-edge treatments as they become available.","PeriodicalId":73925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of rare diseases (Berlin, Germany)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135161520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The data of patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were followed up at the Endocrinology Department of Erciyes University’s Medical Faculty Hospital between 2019 and 2021 were evaluated. Results We evaluated 13 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were diagnosed or followed up at our centre and whose data could be accessed. Four of the patients were male, and nine were female. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 33 (± 11.32) years. Hepatomegaly was present in 11 of the 13 patients. Eight of the 13 patients had splenomegaly. Three patients had undergone splenectomy. The liver and spleen dimensions of two patients were normal. The platelet count was normal in three of the 10 patients without a history of undergoing splenectomy. Bone densitometry revealed that six patients had a lumbar z-score of ≤ − 2.5. Five patients had a score between − 1 and − 2.5, and two patients had a normal z-score. The mean treatment duration was 36 (± 19.46) months. All our patients were administered enzyme replacement therapy. Conclusion Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disease that affects many systems. It causes irreversible morbidity in patients in whom diagnosis is delayed. The main treatment modality was enzyme replacement therapy. Because it is a rare and multisystemic disease, patients should be followed up at centres with experience in treating Gaucher disease.","PeriodicalId":73925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of rare diseases (Berlin, Germany)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135791279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
