Meuwissen MEC, Halley DJJ, Smit LS, Lequin MH, Cobben JM, De Coo R, et al. However, there are exceptions that depend on precisely when and where the mutation arose. Type IV collagen molecules attach to each other to form complex protein networks. 2009 Jun 25 [Updated 2016 Jul 7]. Fetal intracerebral hemorrhage and cataract: think COL4A1. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.10452, 18. Abnormal retinal arteries are prone to rupture causing bleeding associated with temporary loss of vision or even retinal detachments that can cause permanent vision loss. Type IV collagen molecules attach to each other to form complex protein networks. The signs and symptoms can manifest at almost any age from before birth to old age. Novel heterozygous COL4A2 variant c.2572A>G, p.(I858V) mimicking Sneddon's and Divry van Bogaert Syndrome. Vahedi K, Alamowitch S. Clinical spectrum of type IV collagen (COL4A1) Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. When a mutation occurs in one of these genes, the rope does not wind up properly and it stays inside the cell. All authors contributed to the article and approved the submitted version. Here we report a family in which three siblings presented severe hypermetropia and porencephaly. Jeanne M, Gould DB. Gould DB, Phalan FC, van Mil SE, Sundberg JP, Vahedi K, Massin P, et al. Symptoms that may occur in individuals with autosomal dominant type I porencephaly include migraines, weakness or paralysis of one side of the body (hemiparesis or hemiplegia), seizures, stroke, and dystonia, a group of neurological disorders characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that force the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements and positions. She, then, developed seizures which were controlled by valproic acid. In a retrospective study of 52 patients with COL4A1 mutations, stroke occurred in 17.3% of subjects and MRI showed white matter abnormalities (63.5%), subcortical microbleeds (52.9%), porencephaly (46%), enlarged spaces around blood vessels, (19.2%), and small infarctions (13.5%). NORD is a registered 501(c)(3) charity organization. Subsequently, it has been recognized that autosomal dominant COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutations cause a broad spectrum of cerebrovascular disease, whose onset occurs from fetal life onward and whose severity may range from small-vessel disease to fatal intraparenchymal hemorrhage.,, While epilepsy is known to be a clinical feature of porencephaly, the The causative gene of HANAC is COL4A1 (13q34) encoding the alpha1 chain of collagen IV, a major component of basement membranes also involved in . Neurol. Stroke is a leading cause of death and serious long-term disability in developed nations. Gould Syndrome is a rare, genetic, multi-system disorder. However, these findings can be observed independently or in combinations, in many patients with COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutations. COL4A1/A2-related disorders are rare, genetic, multi-system disorders.

Understanding what it has taken to get her to this point, though, is close to unimaginable. However, it is also very likely that basement membrane defects also contribute to abnormal signaling and function of cells that form blood vessels in the brain and elsewhere. After a normal neonatal period, those affected develop a rapidly progressive course involving irritability, hyperaesthesia, visual and hearing loss, severe cognitive and motor deterioration, and seizures. When our 8-year-old daughter, Zeeva, giggles and runs in her walker to the swing set, its like watching pure childhood joy. Coupry I, Sibon I, Mortemousque B, Rouanet F, Mine M GC.

Powered by NORD, the IAMRARE Registry Platform is driving transformative change in the study of rare disease. The timeline for the clinical examination and ancillary tests performed is illustrated in Figure 2. In addition the whole spectrum of the phenotype is not yet known and there are many asymptomatic patients. HANAC syndrome is a rare condition, although the exact prevalence is unknown. Email: [emailprotected], Some current clinical trials also are posted on the following page on the NORD website: For example, networks of COL4A1 and COL4A2 are present in the basement membranes of blood vessels. cutting tissue called the corpus callosum, then make some additional delicate Epub 2010 Jun 17. The type IV collagens are encoded by six different genes (COL4A1, COL4A2, COL4A3, COL4A4, COL4A5 and COL4A6).

There are no standardized treatment protocols or guidelines for affected individuals. These types of correlations can be difficult to detect in patients because of the broad genetic variability in humans. 2010 COL4A1 may be a candidate gene in unexplained familial syndromes with autosomal dominant hematuria, cystic kidney disease, intracranial aneurysms, and muscle cramps. Cavalin M, Mine M, Philbert M, et al. In the front of the eye, patients can have abnormally small eyes (microphthalmia), cataracts (cloudy lenses), and anterior segment dysgenesis (Axenfeld-Rieger). cuts under the microscope. People listened to us and to Zeeva in a very different and proactive way. Over 100 families have been identified with these disorders in the medical literature and many more cases are known that are not in the published literature. (2014) 11:3612.

An official website of the United States government. Developmental defects to the front of the eye, which also includes the ocular drainage structures between the iris and cornea, can lead to increased pressure in the eye (elevated intraocular pressure, or IOP). These protein networks are the main components of basement membranes, which are thin sheet-like structures that separate and support cells in many tissues. Phenotypic spectrum of COL4A1 mutations: porencephaly to schizencephaly. 2010 Oct;152A(10):2550-5. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.33659. Our data testing the effects of established mutations on collagen biosynthesis suggest that the intracellular retention of mutant COL4A1 proteins at the expense of their secretion appears to be a common effect of many COL4A1 mutations. NORD and MedicAlert Foundation have teamed up on a new program to provide protection to rare disease patients in emergency situations. 1900 Crown Colony Drive When this enzyme is elevated, it is a sign of muscle damage. Internet. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Nat Methods.

Suite 500 Clinical spectrum of type IV collagen (COL4A1) mutations: a novel Because the collagen is found throughout the body, COL4A1/A2 affects many organ systems, including the brain, kidneys, eyes, and muscles. COL4A1 is an essential component for basal membrane stability and exon mutations of COL4A1 gene mutations are responsible for a broad spectrum of systemic manifestations characterized by small vessel involvement of variable severity, including neurological (1) [porencephaly (24), hemorrhage (2, 57) and aneurysms (8)], ophthalmological (912) (retinal artery tortuosity, Axenfeld Rieger anomalies, cataracts, and severe hypermetropia), renal (13) (renal cysts, and microscopic hematuria), and systemic (13) findings (cramps with a high creatine kinase level [CK], Raynaud's phenomenon, and arrhythmias). Am J Med Genet A. HANAC syndrome is caused by genetic changes in the COL4A1 gene. People with this condition may have a bulge in one or multiple blood vessels in the brain (intracranial aneurysms). There are 28 different types of collagen in your body and mutations in the genes that encode these proteins lead to multiple, highly diverse diseases. (2014) 15:16. Gould DB, Phalan FC, Breedveld GJ, Van Mil SE, Smith RS, Schimenti JC, et al. INTERNET One year later, right hemiparesis became clinically evident with a lack of right voluntary hand prehension in association with right hemineglect. Basement membranes without these networks are unstable, leading to weakening of the tissues that they surround. Plaisier E, Gribouval O, Alamowitch S, Mougenot B, Prost C, Verpont MC, et al. Here, we report a patient with schizencephaly, detected by fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance imaging, with a de novo novel mutation in COL4A1 (c.2645_2646delinsAA, p.Gly882Glu). The blood vessels as well as thin sheet-like structures called basement membranes that separate and support cells are weakened and more susceptible to breakage. Going from having seizures every day for six years to having no seizures is nothing short of a miracle. Available online at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/VCV000389182.3 (accessed March 20, 2020). Exon mutations of the COL4A1 genes are responsible for a broad spectrum of cerebral, ocular, and systemic manifestations. (2007) 357:268795. Illumina's Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) technology (MiSeq Personal Sequencer, Illumina) analyzed the generated amplicons. IV-3 had a left hemisphere porencephalic cyst and the lack of evidence of a left corticospinal tract on tractography (Figures 3E,F), IV-5 had a porencephalic cyst on the right lateral ventricle (Figure 3C), and III-3 had leukoencephalopathy (Figure 3D). [Hereditary angiopathy with nephropathy, aneurysms and muscle cramps (HANAC): a new basement membrane-disease associated with mutations of the COL4A1 gene]. It is important to discuss these concepts with a genetic counselor and understand their implications. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Participants with epilepsy frequently reported developmental delays (88.6%), stroke (60.0%), cerebral palsy (65.7%), and constipation (57.1%). Available at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7046/ Accessed January 28, 2019. Individuals with HANAC syndrome also experience a variety of eye problems. This group rarely survives beyond 2 years. Last updated: Yet, as for all COL4A1 mutations, no specific treatment is currently available, and, due to the variable penetrance, adapted follow-up is challenging. Your support helps to ensure everyones free access to NORDs rare disease reports. Hereditary angiopathy with nephropathy, aneurysms, and muscle cramps Firstly, it segregates within the family with the phenotype. Danbury, CT 06810 Mutations in the gene have been linked to diseases of the brain, muscle, kidney, eye, and cardiovascular system. When these ropes are secreted, they assemble into net-like structures outside the cells. (2015) 17:84353. Background: COL4A1 mutations cause familial porencephaly, infantile hemiplegia, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and hemorrhagic stroke. The number of genes implicated in epilepsy has grown rapidly in the past decade. COL4A1-related brain small-vessel disease is characterized by weakening of the blood vessels in the brain. my mom suggested we call Boston Childrens Hospital. Molecular genetic testing can detect variations in the COL4A1 and COL4A2 genes that cause these disorders, but is available only as a diagnostic service at specialized laboratories. Yoneda Y, Haginoya K, Kato M, Osaka H, Yokochi K, Arai H, et al. Smoking, which also increases the risk of stroke, physical activities that can cause head trauma such as contact sports, and the use of anti-clotting (anticoagulant) medications, should be avoided. (2008) 17:42433. These proteins have very restricted expression and Alport Syndrome primarily affects the kidneys with variable involvement of the eye and cochlea (hearing). 2015;84:918-926. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4351667/, Meuwissen ME, Halley DJ, Smit LS, et al.
