Résumé
The p.(Arg85Trp) variant-specific phenotype of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha shows a complex clinical picture affecting three different organ systems and their corresponding metabolisms. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved and their relationship with the diverse symptoms seen in the context of this specific variant. Here, we present data of a new patient that expand the clinical phenotype, suggesting possible disease mechanisms. Clinical data were extracted from the patient's charts. The liver, kidney, and muscle were analyzed with routine histology and electron microscopy. Mitochondrial function was assessed by respirometric analyses and enzymatic activity assays. Structure and sequence analyses of this specific variant were investigated by in silico analyses. Our patient showed the known features of the variant-specific phenotype, including macrosomia, congenital hyperinsulinism, transient hepatomegaly, and renal Fanconi syndrome. In addition to that, she showed liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, and altered mitochondrial morphology and function. The clinical and biochemical phenotype had features of a new type of glycogen storage disease. This case expands the p.(Arg85Trp) variant-specific phenotype. Possible pathomechanistic explanations for the documented multiorgan involvement and changes of symptoms and signs during development of this ultra-rare but instructive disorder are discussed.
