The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.8K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

956
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.4K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Molecular Biology
  • Pediatrics
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Osteopetrosis presents in autosomal recessive (severe) and dominant (mild) forms, with genetic defects in osteoclast function.
  • Recessive osteopetrosis, or malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP), is characterized by skeletal sclerosis and bone marrow failure.
  • Mutations in TCIRG1 and CLCN7 genes are implicated in osteopetrosis, particularly the recessive form.

Observation:

  • This case report details a newborn presenting with neonatal jaundice, sepsis, and respiratory infections.
  • The infant exhibited symptoms consistent with bone marrow deficiency, including anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
  • Diagnostic workup confirmed Malignant Infantile Osteopetrosis (MIOP) in the neonate.

Findings:

  • MIOP leads to severe skeletal abnormalities and extramedullary hematopoiesis due to bone marrow space reduction.
  • Affected infants suffer from cranial nerve compression, growth failure, and are prone to recurrent neonatal sepsis.
  • The condition has a high mortality rate within the first decade, often due to secondary infections.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of MIOP is crucial for timely management and supportive care.
  • Stem cell transplantation remains the only curative treatment for this severe genetic disorder.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering MIOP in neonates presenting with unexplained sepsis and hematological abnormalities.
