摘要:
目的 总结分析成年肾上腺脑白质营养不良(ALD)患者的临床及遗传特点。 方法 纳入2016年5月至2021年4月于首都医科大学附属北京天坛医院就诊的18例明确诊断为ALD的成年患者,对其临床表型、影像学特点及基因检测结果进行综合分析。 结果 18例患者根据临床分型可分为肾上腺脊髓神经型(AMN)6例(33%)、AMN合并脑型2例(11%)、成人脑型(ACALD)5例(28%)、儿童脑型(CCALD) 2例(11%)、青少年脑型(AdolCALD)1例(6%)及小脑型2例(11%)。所有患者的极长链脂肪酸(VLCFA)均出现不同程度的升高。AMN患者均以成年期起病的双下肢僵硬无力为首发及主要表现,并可进展为脑型,临床表现明显加重并出现脑内的脱髓鞘病灶;脑型ALD中成人脑型较为常见,突出表现为精神行为异常、认知障碍及运动功能下降,颅脑MRI表现为对称性额顶叶或顶枕叶白质病变,伴或不伴病灶边缘强化;小脑型患者以小脑性共济失调为主要表现,影像学特点为对称性小脑齿状核累及。18例患者来自18个家系,基因分析结果提示突变类型最常见为错义突变(10/18,55%),其次是移码突变(7/18,39%)和剪切位点突变(1/18,6%)。其中5个突变为新发突变,均为移码突变。 结论 成年ALD患者中以肾上腺脊髓神经型最为常见,脑型中成人脑型并不少见,小脑型患者占有一定比率,应予以重视。 -

Abstract:Objective Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is the most common peroxisomal diseases with high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Our study is to analyze the phenotype and genotype characteristics of adult patients with ALD. Methods A total of 18 adult patients with ALD admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital from May 2016 to April 2021 were recruited, and their clinical manifestations, imaging features, and genetic results were comprehensively analyzed. Results Among 18 patients, 6(33%) patients were diagnosed as adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), 2(11%) were cerebral AMN, 5(28%) were adult cerebral ALD (ACALD), 2(11%) were childhood cerebral ALD (CCALD), 1(6%) were adolescent cerebral ALD (AdolALD), and 2(11%) were cerebellar variant of ALD. AMN patients presented with adult-onset stiffness and weakness of lower limbs as the initial and main symptoms, and can developed additional cerebral demyelination; In the case of cerebral ALD, ACALD is more common than CCALD and AdolALD. The prominent manifestations were psychiatric disorders, cognitive, and motor impairment. The imaging features were predominantly occipitoparietal involvement or predominantly frontal involvement with or without contrast enhancement marginal to the demyelinated areas; cerebellar ataxia is the main manifestation in patients with cerebellar variant, and the imaging feature was symmetrical involvement of the cerebellar dentate nucleus. Genetically, the most common mutation type was missense mutation (10/18, 55.6%), followed by frameshift mutation (7/18, 38.9%), and splice site mutation (1/18, 5.6%). Moreover, we found five novo mutations, all of which were frameshift mutations. Conclusions AMN is the most common subtype of adult patients with ALD. ACALD is common among the cerebral ALD. The proportion of cerebellar variant might have been underestimated. -
