Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

4.7K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

43.7K
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS), a rare immunodeficiency, causes severe gum disease and skin issues due to cathepsin C gene mutations. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care are crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency.
  • It is characterized by severe periodontitis, edentulism, and palmoplantar keratosis (PPK).
  • Mutations in the cathepsin C gene are the underlying cause of PLS, affecting neutrophil function.

Observation:

  • A case of a 4-year-old girl with delayed diagnosis of PLS is presented.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms including gingivitis, partial edentulism, and PPK.
  • Diagnosis was suspected due to absent cathepsin C activity.

Findings:

  • Genetic analysis confirmed heterozygous mutations in the cathepsin C gene (c.628C>T, pArg210* and c.1286G>A, p.Trp429*).
  • Altered neutrophil biological properties contribute to gingival dysbiosis, bacterial overgrowth, and severe periodontitis.
  • The study highlights the clinical presentation and genetic basis of this rare syndrome.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of PLS is essential for timely intervention.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is vital for improving patient outcomes, including functional, esthetic, and psychological aspects.
  • This case report contributes to understanding the phenotype of this poorly recognized condition.
