В статье представлено описание генетических факторов, ассоциированных с ходьбой на носках у детей. Описана ассоциация патологической походки с вариантами генов PMP22 (peripheral myelin protein 22), EGR2 (early growth response protein 2), AIFM1 (apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 1), MORC2 (member of the Microrchidia family CW-type zinc finger 2), DHTKD1 (dehydrogenase E1 and transketolase domain containing 1), GDAP1 (ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 1), KIF1B (kinesin family member 1B), FGD4 (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 4), SBF2 (SET binding factor 2), SH3TC2 (SH3 domain and tetratricopeptide repeats 2), NAGLU (N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase), NEFL (neurofilament light) и PRX (periaxin). Генетическое тестирование пациентов с ходьбой на носках в дополнение к клиническому обследованию необходимо для более точной диагностики патологии.
Background. Pathogenic variants of the CREBBP gene have been revealed in patients with Rubinstein–Taybi and Menke–Hennekam syndromes, however, the toe walking symptom was not mentioned in these pathologies.Clinical Case Description. The pathogenic nucleotide variant c.5600G>A in heterozygous state in the CREBBP gene was revealed in our 9-year-old female patient with refractory toe walking and developmental speech delay. There were no abnormalities typical for Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome, but there were several signs of Menke–Hennekam syndrome.Conclusion. The genetic anomaly associated with toe walking is described. This observation allows us to critically relate to the hypothesis about the idiopathic genesis of this form of gait disorder at the absence of obvious neurological or orthopedic causes of its development.
В данной статье приводится описание двух клинических случаев пациенток с ходьбой на носках. В рамках диагностики обеим пациенткам был проведен генетический тест на наследственную сенсомоторную нейропатию, который выявил у одной пациентки мутацию в гене NDRG1 с редким вариантом c.1022G> A; p.arg341His (частота минорного аллеля < 0,01%), у другой пациентки обнаружен гетерогенный вариант c.1053_1082del и NM_001135242.1 p.Thr360_Gly369del. Данные мутации ассоциированы с болезнью Шарко–Мари–Тута (тип 4D), но ни у одной из пациенток клинически не было обнаружено данной наследственной нейропатии, в то же время диагноз идиопатической ходьбы на носках также сомнителен, поскольку в обоих случаях потребовалось достаточно серьезное лечение. Поэтому разумно предположить, что обе пациентки ходят на цыпочках по генетической причине. This article describes two clinical cases of patients with tiptoe walking. As part of the diagnosis, both patients underwent a genetic test for hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy, which revealed in one patient a mutation in the NDRG1 gene with a rare variant c.1022G> A; p.arg341his (minor allele frequency < 0.01%), in the other patient a heterogeneous variant c.1053_1082del and NM_001135242.1 p.thr360_gly369del was detected. These mutations are associated with Charcot–Marie–Toute disease (type 4D), but none of the patients were clinically diagnosed with this hereditary neuropathy, while the diagnosis of idiopathic toe-walking is also doubtful, since in both cases quite serious treatment was required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that both patients walk on tiptoe for a genetic reason.
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.
