Thats not to say Zeeva hasnt had to work hard since the surgery. The X and Y chromosomes are called the sex chromosomes and the rest all are called 'autosomes'. doi: 10.1212/WNL.0b013e3181c3fd12, 9. This analysis represents a subanalysis of the 35 out of 60 children <=18 years of age who reported a history of seizures. Mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4 and COL4A5 were found in the early 1990's in patients with Alport Syndrome. Fragile or damaged blood vessels or basement membranes in the kidneys can lead to blood in the urine (hematuria). Contact a health care provider if you have questions about your health. 1. An MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce cross-sectional images of particular organs and bodily tissues, including the brain. In affected individuals, stroke is usually caused by bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) rather than a lack of blood flow in the brain (ischemic stroke), although either type can occur. Type IV collagen networks play an important role in the basement membranes in virtually all tissues throughout the body, particularly the basement membranes surrounding the body's blood vessels (vasculature). Novel COL4A1 mutation in a fetus with early prenatal onset of - Nature Additional features include poor or absent speech development, facial paralysis (paresis), involuntary muscle spasms (spasticity) that result in slow, stiff, rigid movements, visual field defects, and hydrocephalus, a condition in which accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid in the skull causes pressure on the tissues of the brain, resulting in a variety of symptoms. mutations: a novel genetic multisystem disease. Stroke subtype, vascular risk factors, and total MRI brain small-vessel disease burden. The variant was found in IV-3 and IV-5 and not in asymptomatic relatives (III-4, IV-1, IV-4). The COL4A1 gene mutations that cause HANAC syndrome result in the production of a protein that disrupts the structure of type IV collagen. Common variation in COL4A1/COL4A2 is associated with sporadic cerebral small vessel disease. COL4A1 mutations are responsible for a wide range of abnormalities affecting mainly the brain and the retinal vasculature, the anterior and posterior ocular structures and the renal glomerules. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. As a result, type IV collagen molecules cannot attach to each other to form the protein networks in basement membranes. 55 Kenosia Avenue Paques M, Ronco P. Novel COL4A1 mutations associated with HANAC syndrome: a role Curr Opin Neurol. Mosaic individuals are likely less severely affected, or even asymptomatic, because they have many cells that secrete COL4A1 normally and that can compensate for those cells that cannot. The non-working gene can be inherited from either parent or can be the result of a mutated (changed) gene in the affected individual (called sporadic or de novo). https://nord1dev.wpengine.com/for-patients-and-families/information-resources/info-clinical-trials-and-research-studies/, For information about clinical trials sponsored by private sources, contact: Pediatricians are physicians who specialize in the childhood disorders and are often the first to detect patients with COL4A1/A2-related disorders. Neurology. Before Cesarean delivery for pregnancies with fetus at risk for a COL4A1-related disorder is recommended to prevent brain vascular injury attributable to birth trauma during delivery (6). The severity of the condition varies greatly among affected individuals. The COL4A1 gene provides instructions for making one component of a protein called type IV collagen. Vermeulen RJ, Peeters-Scholte C, Van Vugt JJMG, Barkhof F, Rizzu P, Van der Schoor SRD, et al. Orphanet: HANAC syndrome Schwarz JM, Cooper DN, Schuelke M, Seelow D. Mutationtaster2: Mutation prediction for the deep-sequencing age. 2010 We therefore began our analysis of mutant Col4a1 G498V mice by examining the retinal vascular network at three and nine months of age. Therefore, it is important to note that there is a very broad spectrum of clinical presentations with different organs affected to different degrees between patients. Gould Syndrome is an ultra rare genetic, multi-system disorder. The human phenotypes are extremely variable between patients and between families, with disease onset as early as in the fetal period. In the back of the eye, affected individuals have also twisting or distortion (tortuosity) of arteries in the retina (bilateral retinal arterial tortuosity) as part of the syndrome or as an isolated finding. HANAC syndrome is characterized by angiopathy, which is a disorder of the blood vessels. Endovascular therapy is a minimally-invasive procedure in which a long, thin tube called a catheter is passed into the blood vessel to repair or strengthen the blood vessel. basement membranes surrounding the body's blood vessels, Genetic Testing Registry: Angiopathy, hereditary, with nephropathy, aneurysms, and muscle cramps, National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), ANGIOPATHY, HEREDITARY, WITH NEPHROPATHY, ANEURYSMS, AND MUSCLE CRAMPS. In the human genome, there are 46 chromosomes. Lanfranconi S, Markus HS. However, in people with HANAC syndrome, these aneurysms typically do not burst. Changing lives of those with rare disease. The age of onset, severity, specific symptoms and disease progression varies greatly from one person to another, even among members of the same family. COL4A1 Mutations and Hereditary Angiopathy, Nephropathy, Aneurysms, and 2012;21:R97-R110.

He also wanted to remove a shunt that was implanted in Accessibility Email: [emailprotected], Some current clinical trials also are posted on the following page on the NORD website: Gould Syndrome is often characterized by abnormal blood vessels in the brain (cerebral vasculature defects), eye development defects (ocular dysgenesis), muscle disease (myopathy), and kidney abnormalities (renal pathology); however, many other aspects of the syndrome including abnormalities affecting the structure of the brain (cerebral cortical abnormalities) and lung (pulmonary) abnormalities continue to emerge and the full spectrum is still uncharacterized. Copyright 2023 by Gould Syndrome Foundation -, https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/col4a1-a2-related-disorders/. Treatment At 2 years old, IV-6 presented obvious left hemiparesis but could move without help. In: Pagon RA, Bird TD, Dolan CR, et al., GeneReviews. 1A-B). This raises questions about what tests Liliane has a lot to be grateful for this holiday season. View CNBC interview with NORDs Peter Saltonstall and Boston Childrens Dr. Olaf Bodamer emphasizing the importance of investment in rare diseases. 2008 May;192(5):971-84; discussion 984-6. Early intervention is important in ensuring that children with reach their highest potential. COL4A1 may be a candidate gene in unexplained familial syndromes with autosomal dominant hematuria, cystic kidney disease, intracranial aneurysms, and muscle cramps. Cavalin M, Mine M, Philbert M, et al. She was struggling to advance both cognitively and physically because of uncontrolled epilepsy. Cysts can also form in one or both kidneys, and the cysts may grow larger over time. When our 8-year-old daughter, Zeeva, giggles and runs in her walker to the swing set, its like watching pure childhood joy. Together, these studies suggest that certain unknown variants of COL4A1 and COL4A2 might contribute to chronic vascular dysfunction. Mutations in the gene have been linked to diseases of the brain, muscle, kidney, eye, and cardiovascular system. my mom suggested we call Boston Childrens Hospital. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. To use the sharing features on this page, please enable JavaScript. Hereditary angiopathy with nephropathy, aneurysms, and muscle cramps (HANAC) syndrome is part of a group of conditions called the COL4A1 -related disorders. This variant highlights that the COL4A1 mutation should be sought in cases of familial ophthalmologic pathologies associated with congenital porencephaly or early onset leukoencephalopathy. NORD is not a medical provider or health care facility and thus can neither diagnose any disease or disorder nor endorse or recommend any specific medical treatments. To date, over 50 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants have been described in the COL4A1 gene, most of them missense (2). doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1707914, 6. Nat Methods. Clinical Testing and Workup Some individuals with COL4A1-related brain small-vessel disease do not have any signs or symptoms of the condition. Therapies are based on the specific symptoms in each individual. cuts under the microscope. The conditions in this group have a range of signs and symptoms that involve fragile blood vessels. III-3 was informed of the genetic diagnosis and is now regularly followed and screened for cataracts and brain aneurysms. Researchers are still trying to determine whether there are any specific genotype-phenotype correlations in COL4A1/A2-related disorders. Suggestive evidence for linkage to chromosome 13qter for autosomal dominant type 1 porencephaly. N Engl J Med. MedlinePlus also links to health information from non-government Web sites. Yoneda Y, Haginoya K, Kato M, Osaka H, Yokochi K, Arai H, et al. The signs and symptoms can manifest at almost any age from before birth to old age. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpn.2009.04.010, 27. The risk is the same for males and females. The two genes that code for these proteins are tightly linked on chromosome 13 and dominant COL4A1 and COL4A2 gene mutations cause a highly variable, multisystem disorder. Here, we report a patient with schizencephaly, detected by fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance imaging, with a de novo novel mutation in COL4A1 (c.2645_2646delinsAA, p.Gly882Glu). Patients must rely on the personal and individualized medical advice of their qualified health care professionals before seeking any information related to their particular diagnosis, cure or treatment of a condition or disorder. We describe, here, the phenotype of a likely pathologic variant (p.Gly743Val) in exon 30 of the COL4A1 gene, responsible for an oculo-cerebral phenotype characterized by severe hypermetropia and highly penetrant porencephaly in absence of other systemic complications. When these ropes are secreted, they assemble into net-like structures outside the cells. These aneurysms have the potential to burst, causing bleeding within the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). III-3 was asymptomatic but for severe hypermetropia and bilateral cataracts. Compared to other COL4A1-related disorders, the brain is only mildly affected in HANAC syndrome. 2014 Mar;261(3):500-3. doi: 10.1007/s00415-013-7224-4. In the front of the eye, patients can have abnormally small eyes (microphthalmia), cataracts (cloudy lenses), and anterior segment dysgenesis (Axenfeld-Rieger). These types of correlations can be difficult to detect in patients because of the broad genetic variability in humans. (2015) 88:46873. Firstly, it segregates within the family with the phenotype. Any muscle may be affected, and cramps usually last from a few seconds to a few minutes, although in some cases they can last for several hours. Standardized (15) familiar pedigree is showed in Figure 1. seizure activity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26610912. Neuropsychological tests disclosed language delay and learning difficulties requiring speech therapy at the age of 9 years. doi: 10.1186/s12881-014-0097-2, 11. Treatment trials will be critical to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of specific medications and treatments for individuals with COL4A1/A2-related disorders. The degree of mosaicism is highly variable ranging from only a small percent of cells with the mutation to nearly all cells carrying the mutation and depends on the stage during development that the mutation occurred. 2007 Aug;62(2):177-84. doi: 10.1002/ana.21191. (2007) 357:268795. The p.Gly743Val variant is a conservative substitution that occurs in a position highly conserved across species (SIFT analysis: DeleteriousScore 0, median: 4.22, highly conserved nucleotide and amino acid, up to Tetraodon considering 11 species) and affects a crucial and abundant residue within the triple-helix-forming collagenous domain of the protein, which consist of long stretches of Gly-X-Y repeats. Shah S, Kumar Y, McLean B, Churchill A, Stoodley N, Rankin J, et al. Some individuals develop cysts on the kidney. We each inherit a full complement on autosomes from each of our parents giving us two copies of each gene. doi: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000001309, 8. Clinical spectrum of type IV collagen (COL4A1) mutations: a novel If individuals have muscle cramps, blood tests can reveal elevated levels creatine kinase, which is a muscle enzyme. Neurol. It affects mainly young adults, children and more typically neonates. September 2003. Porencephaly refers to the formation of fluid-filled cysts or cavities within of the brain. Supporting children in their development to reduce handicaps and combining their follow-up with parent counseling could be considered as an ideal approach. Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome - About the Disease - Genetic and Rare COL4A1 mutations and hereditary angiopathy, nephropathy, aneurysms, and muscle cramps. With genetic disorders, the type of mutation, or its location in the gene can sometimes be associated with varying outcomes. How can gene variants affect health and development? The COL4A1 stroke syndrome. ), A variety of rare genetic disorders may have symptoms similar to those found in COL4A1/A2-related disorders. can also contribute. J Perinatol. All patients suffering from HANAC syndrome display retinal arteriolar tortuosity and occasional retinal hemorrhages. Cerebrovascular disease related to COL4A1 mutations in HANAC syndrome Our experience with Boston Childrens was very different from the other places we had been for epilepsy and neurology treatment. In most people, small vessel disease in the brain does not cause symptoms.

Other eye problems associated with HANAC syndrome include a clouding of the lens of the eye (cataract) and an abnormality called Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly. Thirdly, bioinformatic tools and ACMG (20) classify p.Gly743Val as likely pathogenic due to the combination of the following criteria: (i) the p.Gly743Val variant is located in a mutational hotspot/or critical and well-established functional domain, (ii) the p.Gly743Val variant is absent from controls in the Exome Sequencing Project as reported by GeneDx (30), (iii) the p.Gly743Val variant is a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease, (iv) the variant p.Gly743Val has been previously reported, without phenotypic description in one other report [GeneDx Accession: SCV000531635.4 Submitted: (January 29, 2019)] and from one likely pathogenic [Undiagnosed Diseases Network, NIH Accession: SCV000926981.1 Submitted: (February 21, 2019)], and (v) which multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene product (see the Bioinfromatic Interpretation of Results). Some of the patient advocacy organizations listed in the Resources section below provide support and information to affected individuals and their families. eCollection 2022. National Taiwan University Hospital, Taiwan, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, Carrera de Medicina, Universidad Cientfica del Sur, Peru, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The proportion of cases caused by a de novopathogenic variant is estimated to be at least 27%. What does it mean if a disorder seems to run in my family? Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum | National Institute of Neurological What does it mean if a disorder seems to run in my family? (2014) 83:122834. FOIA COL4A1/A2-related disorders are believed to affect females and males in equal numbers. The COL4A1 gene has 52 exons and most of the pathogenic variants are distributed across exons 10 to 47 in the triple-helix domain. A diagnosis can be confirmed through molecular genetic testing. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal The .gov means its official.

Mutations in COL4A1 or COL4A2 cause Gould Syndrome and, because these two proteins are found in almost all tissues; nearly any organ can be affected. This page is currently unavailable. (2014) 15:16. Matrix Biol. All individuals with this condition have arteries that twist and turn abnormally within the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eyes (arterial retinal tortuosity). 1900 Crown Colony Drive Individuals with HANAC syndrome also experience a variety of eye problems. Mutations in COL4A1 or COL4A2 cause Gould Syndrome and, because these two proteins are found in almost all tissues; nearly any organ can be affected. Sibon I, Coupry I, Menegon P, Bouchet JP, Gorry P, Burgelin I, Calvas P, Some may only develop specific symptoms such as isolated migraines or strokes in childhood or adulthood. Collagen, type IV, alpha 1 - Wikipedia http://www.centerwatch.com/, For information about clinical trials conducted in Europe, contact: 1900 Crown Colony Drive The risk of passing the non-working gene from an affected parent to an offspring is 50% for each pregnancy. Exon mutations of the COL4A1 genes are responsible for a broad spectrum of cerebral, ocular, and systemic manifestations. When a mutation occurs in one of these genes, the rope does not wind up properly and it stays inside the cell. COL4A1/A2-related disorders are caused by dominant mutations in the COL4A1 or COL4A2 genes. Clinical case reports suggest a syndrome with characteristic core findings; however, much about the disorder is not fully understood. What is Gould Syndrome? - Gould Syndrome Foundation Rarely, affected individuals will have a condition called Raynaud phenomenon in which the blood vessels in the fingers and toes temporarily narrow, restricting blood flow to the fingertips and the ends of the toes. Neurology. However, it is also very likely that basement membrane defects also contribute to abnormal signaling and function of cells that form blood vessels in the brain and elsewhere. We connect and coordinate our families with researchers and medical professionals to get our disease and management coordination into the medical realm. COL4A1/A2-Related Disorders - Symptoms, Causes, Treatment | NORD Dr. Joseph Madsen was as wonderful in person as he had been on the phone. Some affected individuals may develop weakness or paralysis of one side of the body (hemiparesis or hemiplegia) and have seizures. Novel mutations in three families confirm a major role of COL4A1 in hereditary porencephaly. She also showed severe hypermetropia. COL4A1 mutations cause progressive retinal neovascular defects and retinopathy. Neuropediatrics. Fetal intracerebral hemorrhage and cataract: think COL4A1. mutation in Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly with leukoencephalopathy and stroke. A variety of additional signs and symptoms have been reported in individuals with COL4A1/A2-related disorders including childhood-onset epilepsy, hemolytic anemia (a condition characterized by low levels of circulating red blood cells due to their premature destruction leading to fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, dizziness, irritability, headaches, and pale skin color), mitral valve prolapse (flaps of the valve located between the upper and lower left heart chambers bulge or collapse during contraction allowing leakage of blood back into the left atrium). COL4A1-related brain small-vessel disease - MedlinePlus Vilain C, Van Regemorter N, Verloes A, David P, Van Bogaert P. Neuroimaging fails to identify asymptomatic carriers of familial porencephaly. She has regular physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Most individuals diagnosed with a COL4A1-related disorder have an affected parent. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Autosomal dominant familial hematuria, retinal arteriolar tortuosity, contractures, Hereditary angiopathy with nephropathy, aneurysm, and muscle cramps syndrome. For example, Type I collagen mutations cause Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease), Type II collagen mutations cause chondrodysplasias (defects of cartilage) and mutations in Type III collagen cause a form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Several factors including the small number of identified cases, the lack of large clinical studies, and the possibility of other genes or factors influencing the disorder make it challenging to develop a complete picture of associated symptoms and prognosis.

Molecular analysis in the father disclosed a heterozygous variant c.2228G>T (p.Gly743Val) in exon 30 of the COL4A1 gene that segregated with the phenotype. If neither parent carries the mutation, it is considered de novo which means that the mutation is a new occurrence. While muscle cramps may begin in childhood, many of the other symptoms do not appear until later in life. Lecordier S, Manrique-Castano D, El Moghrabi Y, ElAli A.

Cataracts, which are a clouding of the lenses of the eyes, are often present from birth (congenital) and may be one of the first identifiable signs of the syndrome. But she is learning to read, enjoys swimming, horseback riding, and is a glass jewelry and pottery artist. For example, an individual may carry genetic variants elsewhere in their genome that confers protection or susceptibly to the mutation and environmental experiences (trauma, anticoagulant use, physical exertion etc.) Stroke is a leading cause of death and serious long-term disability in developed nations. It is passed through families in a autosomal dominant fashion. Probands' father had severe hypermetropia and bilateral cataracts. Surgery may be necessary for individuals with severe cataracts. At least 50 individuals with this condition have been described in the scientific literature. and transmitted securely. Washington, DC 20036 the basement membranes surrounding the body's blood vessels, National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), BRAIN SMALL VESSEL DISEASE 1 WITH OR WITHOUT OCULAR ANOMALIES. The retina was collected and immunolabeled with an anti-collagen IV antibody, for reconstruction of the entire vascular network (Fig. COL4A1 -Related Disorders - PubMed Arch Neurol. We describe here the phenotype of a likely pathogenic gene variant, p.Gly743Val, which is responsible for a missense mutation in the COL4A1 gene exon 30 in a three generation family with severe hypermetropia and highly penetrant porencephaly in the absence of systemic manifestations.
