Danon disease is a rare X-linked dominant genetic disorder that manifests with a clinical triad of cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and intellectual disability. It is caused by mutations in the lysosome-associated membrane 2 (LAMP2) gene. We report one case of Danon disease and his family members, characterized by ventricular pre-excitation, ventricular hypertrophy, abnormal muscle enzymes, and aberrant liver function. All the patients were confirmed to have Danon disease through genetic screening. Relevant literature was reviewed as a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
