Objectives: This retrospective study was used to evaluate the clinical and imaging characteristics and the prognosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) with cerebrovascular complications.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30 patients with ADPKD complicated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), or Moyamoya disease (MMD) who were admitted to Jinling Hospital from January 2001 to January 2022. We analyzed the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of ADPKD patients with cerebrovascular complications and followed up on their long-term outcomes.
Results: 30 patients, 17 men and 13 women, with an average age of 47.5 (40.0, 54.0) years were included in this study, including 12 cases of ICH, 12 cases of SAH, 5 cases of UIA, and 1 case of MMD. The 8 patients who died during follow-up had a lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on admission (p = 0.024) and a significantly higher serum creatinine (p = 0.004) and blood urea nitrogen (p = 0.006) than the 22 patients with long-term survival.
Conclusion: Intracranial aneurysms, SAH, and ICH are the most common cerebrovascular diseases in ADPKD. Patients with low GCS score or worse renal function have a poor prognosis, which can lead to disability and even death.

Novel Coenzyme Q2 (CoQ2) Mutation in a Pediatric Patient With Primary Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome Due to Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Deficiency.

Pediatrics Department, Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital, Riyadh, SAU.
Coenzyme Q2 (CoQ2) mutations are a group of autosomal recessive mitochondria-linked diseases that result in coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency (CoQ10: a cofactor in mitochondrial energy production). Its deficiency leads to multiple systemic clinical presentations; however, isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is considerably rare. Multiple genetic mutations have been reported with different ranges of severity and prognosis, with variable responses to CoQ10 supplementation.

Autosomal dominant CDK13-related disease is characterized by congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and intellectual developmental disorder (CHDFIDD). Heterozygous pathogenic variants, particularly missense variants in the kinase domain, have previously been described as disease causing. Using the determination of a methylation pattern and comparison with an established episignature, we reveal the first hypomorphic variant in the kinase domain of CDK13, leading to a never before described autosomal recessive form of CHDFIDD in a boy with characteristic features.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple systems. However, arterial stenosis is a rare manifestation in patients with NF1. Since the symptoms of arterial stenosis caused by NF1 are often atypical and have a high under-diagnosis rate, this can lead to serious complications such as hypertension, ischemic stroke, or even death.

Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.

Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GBA1 gene that lead to a deficiency in the glucocerebrosidase gene. This deficiency results in the accumulation of glucocerebrosides in macrophages, primarily affecting the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Focusing on the Mexican population, this study aims to review GD's epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment options to enhance early diagnosis and optimize treatment outcomes.
