A De Novo Frameshift Mutation in RPL5 with Classical Phenotype Abnormalities and Worsening Anemia Diagnosed in a Young Adult-A Case Report and Review of the Literature
MEDICINA-LITHUANIA(2023)
摘要
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome associated with malformations. DBA is related to defective ribosome biogenesis, which impairs erythropoiesis, causing hyporegenerative macrocytic anemia. The disease has an autosomal dominant inheritance and is commonly diagnosed in the first year of life, requiring continuous treatment. We present the case of a young woman who, at the age of 21, developed severe symptomatic anemia. Although, due to malformations, a congenital syndrome had been suspected since birth, a confirmation diagnosis was not made until the patient was referred to our center for an evaluation of her anemia. In her neonatal medical history, she presented with anemia that required red blood cell transfusions, but afterwards remained with a stable, mild, asymptomatic anemia throughout her childhood and adolescence. Her family history was otherwise unremarkable. To explain the symptomatic anemia, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, bleeding causes, and myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms were investigated and ruled out. A molecular investigation showed the RPL5 gene variant c.392dup, p.(Asn131Lysfs*6), confirming the diagnosis of DBA. All family members have normal blood values and none harbored the mutation. Here, we will discuss the unusual evolution of this case and revisit the literature.
