- Abstract
SAŽETAK Hereditarni (nasljedni) angioedem (HAE) je rijetka nasljedna bolest obilježena ponavljajućim napadajima bolnog oticanja potkožnog i submukoznog tkiva. Ponavljajući napadaji angioedema dovode do funkcionalnih oštećenja, smanjenja kvalitete života (engl. Quality of Life, QoL) i povećane smrtnosti. Na temelju koncentracije i funkcije inhibitora esteraze komponente 1 (C1) komplementa (C1-INH) HAE je podijeljen u tri tipa. Tip 1 HAE (HAE-1) obilježen je niskom koncentracijom C1-INH i obuhvaća oko 85% svih slučajeva HAE. Oko 15% bolesnika s HAE ima normalnu koncentraciju C1-INH, dok je aktivnost enzima smanjena, što je obilježje tipa 2 HAE (HAE-2). Tip 3 HAE ima normalnu koncentraciju C1-INH (HAE nC1-INH). Terapija HAE uključuju liječenje akutnih napada, kratkotrajnu profilaksu (engl. short term prophylaxis, STP) i dugotrajnu profilaksu (engl. long term prophylaxis, LTP). LTP podrazumijeva primjenu terapije za smanjenje učestalosti i ozbiljnosti napadaja te poboljšanje kvalitete života u bolesnika koji imaju učestale i ozbiljne napade. U Hrvatskoj su za LTP dostupni atenuirani androgeni koji su opterećeni štetnim učincima. No, za dugoročnu profilaksu napadaja HAE moguće je primijeniti i lanadelumab. To je potpuno ljudsko monoklonsko protutijelo i vrlo je snažan i specifičan inhibitor kalikreina u plazmi, a odobren je u više zemalja EU., Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare inherited disease characterized by recurrent attacks of painful swelling of the subcutaneous and submucosal tissues. Recurrent attacks of angioedema lead to functional impairment, reduced quality of life (QoL) and increased mortality. Based on the concentration and function of the esterase inhibitor component 1 (C1) of complement (C1-INH) HAE is divided into three types. Type 1 HAE (HAE-1) is characterized by a low concentration of C1-INH and includes about 85% of all HAE cases. About 15% of patients with HAE have a normal concentration of C1-INH while enzyme activity is reduced, which is a feature of type 2 HAE (HAE-2). The third form of HAE has a normal concentration of C1-INH (HAE nC1-INH). HAE therapies include treatment of acute attacks, short-term prophylaxis (STP) and long-term prophylaxis (LTP). LTP involves the application of therapy to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks and improve the quality of life in patients who have frequent and severe attacks. Attenuated androgens are available for LTP in Croatia, but they are burdened with harmful effects. However, lanadelumab can also be used for long-term prophylaxis of HAE attacks. It is a fully human monoclonal antibody and is a very potent and specific inhibitor of plasma kallikrein, and has been approved in several EU countries.

Aicardi-Goutières sindrom ,TREX1 gen ,nasljedna encefalopatija - Abstract
Aicardi-Goutières sindrom (AGS) genetski je heterogena encefalopatija, obilježena u svom najtežem obliku cerebralnom atrofijom, leukodistrofijom, intrakranijskim kalcifikatima, kroničnom limfocitozom i povećanim vrijednostima alfa1-interferona u cerebrospinalnom likvoru te negativnim serološkim testovima na uobičajene perinatalne infekcije. AGS fenotipski je sličan intrauterinim virusnim infekcijama (intermitentna vrućica, trombocitopenija, hepatosplenomegalija, povišene jetrene transaminaze) pa se naziva i pseudo TORCH sindrom. Teška neurološka odstupanja koja se očituju progresivnom mikrocefalijom, spasticitetom ili distonim obilježjima, te dubokom psihomotornom retardacijom, klinički su vidljiva već u dojenačko doba. Letalni ishod je čest već u ranom djetinjstvu. Najteži neonatalni oblik, AGS-1 uzrokovan je homozigotnom ili složenom heterozigotnom mutacijom u genu TREX1 na kromosomu 3p21. Nasljeđuje se autosomno recesivno. Cilj ovog rada je opisati kliničke karakteristike rijetke progresivne encefalopatije kod 15 mjesečne djevojčice s osvrtom na rana obilježja bolesti i mogućnosti dijagnostike i liječenja. Prikazujemo djevojčicu u dobi od 15 mjeseci koja je rođena iz majčine treće, uredne trudnoće, spontanim terminskim porodom, plodova voda mekonijska, Apgar 10/10. Po porodu zamijećene petehije trupa, u krvnoj slici trombocitopenija, a zbog poteškoća adaptacije (tremor, stenjanje) učini se i slikovni prikaz mozga (UZV/MRI) te se nađe reducirana giracija, brojni kalcifikati periventrikularno i u području bazalnih ganglija, reduciran volumen periventrikularne bijele tvari, proširene komore, gracilan korpus kalozum, hipoplazija cerebelluma. Fundus je bio uredan. Analizom cerebrospinalnog likvora nađena limfocitoza. Serološkom obradom isključene TORCH infekcije, a opsežnom metaboličkom obradom rijetke metaboličke bolesti s progresivnom encefalopatijom. Iako klasične konvulzije nikad nisu zamijećene, interiktalni EEG bio je žarišno promijenjen. Daljnja obrada uključivala je gensku analizu u inozemnom centru koja je pokazala da je djevojčica složeni heterozigot za mutaciju u TREX1genu na 3p21 (otac i kći su nose novel mutaciju c.197T>G ; majka i kći nose mutaciju c.506G>A /p.Arg169His/ od ranije poznatu i povezanu sa AGS). Terapijski pristup je simptomatski: uključuje potporu razvoja, antiepileptike prema potrebi, redovite oftalmološke kontrole zbog mogućnosti razvoja glaukoma, kontrole endokrinologa zbog mogućeg razvoja hipotireoze i inzulin ovisne šećerne bolesti. Autori su željeli upozoriti na rijedak oblik nasljedne encefalopatije koja zahvaća novorođenčad i obično rezultira teškom mentalnom i motornom retardacijom, na koju treba obratiti pozornost u diferencijalnoj dijagnozi kongenitalnih TORCH infekcija.

- Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare but potentially fatal genetic disorder with nonpitting, nonerythematous, and not pruritic swelling which can affect the hands, feet, face, genitals and visceral mucosa. The type, frequency, and severity of the attacks vary between patients, and over the lifetime of an individual patient. Efforts in Croatian counties have identified approximately 100 patients (but there must be more undiagnosed patients). The first global guideline for the management of HAE was developed by the World Allergy Organization HAE International Alliance and published in 2012. Based on that document the Working group of Croatian experts was assigned to propose guideline for HAE management in Croatia. HAE is is most often related to decreased or dysfunctional C1 inh with autoactivation of C1 and bradykinin accumulation leading to localized dilatation and increased permeability of blood vessels resulting in tissue swelling. A diagnosis of HAE can be confirmed by measuring complement and C1 inh quantitative and functional levels.Three HAE types could be differentiated: HAE type 1 (C1 inh level is low), HAE type 2 (C1 inh level is normal but dysfunctional), and HAE type 3 (normal level and function of C1 inh). All patients suspected to have HAE-1/2 should be assessed for blood levels of C4, C1 inh protein, and C1 inh function. All attacks that result in debilitation/dysfunction and/or involve the face, the neck, or the abdomen should be considered for on-demand treatment. It is recommended that attacks are treated as early as possible. HAE attacks are treated with C1 inh, ecallantide, or icatibant.If these drugs are not available, attacks should be treated with solvent detergent-treated plasma (SDP). If SDP is not available, then attacks should be treated with frozen plasma.Intubation or tracheotomy should be considered early in progressive upper airway edema. Patients with attacks could receive adjuvant therapy when indicated (pain management, intravenous fluids). All patients should have on-demand treatment for two attacks and carry their on-demand treatment at all times. The administration of short-term prophylaxis should be considered before surgeries (dental/intraoral surgery, where endotracheal intubation is required), where upper airway or pharynx is manipulated, and before bronchoscopy or endoscopy. Long-term prophylaxis should be considered in all severely symptomatic HAE-1/2 patients. C1 inh concentrate or androgens can be used. Screening children for HAE-1/2 should be deferred until the age of 12 months, and all offspring of an affected parent should be tested.

Hereditarni angioedem (HAE) rijetka je, ali potencijalno za život opasna bolest zbog nepredvidivih napadaja bezbolnih, ograničenih, recidivirajućih otoka supkutanog ili submukoznog, intersticijskog tkiva u trajanju od nekoliko sati do nekoliko dana. Oboljelih od HAE u RH ima oko 100 (ali vjerojatno ima više nedijagnosticiranih). Poseban kvalitativni napredak u usklađivanju dogovora o liječenju HAE jesu Smjernice Svjetske alergološke organizacije koje su donesene 2012. Oslanjajući se na taj dokument, Radna grupa hrvatskih stručnjaka pripremila je prijedlog smjernica za liječenje HAE u Hrvatskoj. Napadaji angioedema u HAE posljedica su mutacije gena za plazmatski protein inhibitor C1. Zbog manjka inhibitora ili njegove disfunkcionalnosti dolazi do okidačem (trigerom) potaknute autoaktivacije C1 i cijele kaskade s konačno povećanom propusnošću krvnih žila i edemom tkiva. Postoje tri tipa hereditarnog angioedema: tip I uzrokovan sniženom razinom C1inh proteina, tip II uzrokovan proizvodnjom nefunkcionalnog C1inh proteina te tip III karakteriziran normalnom funkcijom i razinom C1inh. U svih bolesnika sa sumnjom na HAE mora se odrediti nivo C4 i inhibitora C1, kao i funkcija inhibitora C1. Liječenje akutne atake HAE: Svi napadaji angioedema koji onesposobe dijelove tijela i/ili zahvaćaju lice, vrat, trbuh, a pogotovo gornje dišne putove zahtijevaju liječenje. Terapija mora biti odmah dostupna (On-Demand Treatment). U akutnoj ataci treba odmah primijeniti koncentrat inhibitora C1 (dobiven iz plazme ili rekombinantni), ikatibant ili ekalantid. Ako ovi lijekovi nisu dostupni, akutni napadaji edema mogu se liječiti plazmom obrađenom detergentom. Ako se ovakva plazma ne može dobiti, angioedemi se liječe svježe smrznutom plazmom. Intubacija ili traheotomija moraju se izvesti na vrijeme ako progredira edem gornjih dišnih putova. U napadaju angioedema bolesnik može dobiti i adjuvantnu terapiju (analgetike, infuzije). Preporučuje se da svi bolesnici uvijek nose sa sobom lijekove za samoprimjenu. Preporučljiva je kratkoročna profilaksa edema prije kirurških zahvata (osobito stomatoloških zahvata), zahvata u kojima je potrebna endotrahealna intubacija, zahvata na gornjim dišnim putovima ili farinksu te prije bronhoskopije i endoskopije. Dugoročna profilaksa indicirana je ako se javi jedna ili više težih ataka angioedema na mjesec. Kao dugoročna profilaksa mogu se rabiti koncentrat inhibitora C1 ili androgeni. Probir djece za HAE trebalo bi odgoditi do 12. mjeseca života.

- Abstract
Objective: Hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) is a rare disease, characterized by swellings. We aimed to characterize on a clinical and molecular basis C1-INH-HAE patients in the Republic of Macedonia.Results: All 15 patients from six unrelated families were diagnosed with C1-INH-HAE type I, with a mean age of symptom onset of 11 years and an average delay of diagnosis of seven years. Patients reported on average 31 angioedema attacks/year, with a median clinical severity score (CSS) of 7. We identified three known mutations and two new mutations (c.813_818delCAACAA and c.1488T > G) that were reported for the first time. To address the genotype-phenotype association, a pooled analysis including 78 C1-INH-HAE south-eastern European patients was performed, with additional analysis of F12-46C/T and KLKB1-428G/A polymorphisms. We demonstrated that patients with nonsense and frameshift mutations, large deletions/insertions, splicing defects and mutations at Arg444 exhibited an increased CSS compared with missense mutations, excluding mutations at Arg444. In addition, the CC F12-46C/T polymorphism was suggestive of earlier disease onset.Discussion: Genetic analysis helped identify the molecular basis of C1-INH-HAE given that causative mutations inSERPING1 were detected in all patients, including an infant before the appearance of clinical symptoms. We identified two novel mutations and further corroborated the genotype-phenotype relationship, wherein mutations with a clear effect on C1-INH function predispose patients to a more severe disease phenotype and CC F12-46C/T predisposes patients to earlier disease onset. KEY MESSAGES: • In the present nationwide study, we aimed to characterize on a clinical and molecular basis patients with hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) in the Republic of Macedonia. • Causative mutations inSERPING1 were detected in all 15 C1-INH-HAE patients from six Macedonian families, including an infant, before the appearance of clinical symptoms. • We identified three known mutations and two novel mutations (c.813_818delCAACAA and c.1488T > G). These findings further corroborated the genotype-phenotype relationship, wherein mutations with a clear effect on C1-INH function predispose patients to a more severe disease phenotype and the CC F12-46C/T polymorphism predisposes patients to earlier disease onset.
