摘要
目的分析核黄素反应性脂质沉积性肌病临床特征和基因型,以实现早期诊断与治疗。方法与结果两家系3例核黄素反应性脂质沉积性肌病患者主要表现为进行性呼吸肌、四肢近端肌无力,肌电图呈肌源性损害,油红O染色肌纤维内可见脂肪滴沉积。3例患者均存在电子转移黄素蛋白脱氢酶(ETFDH)基因突变,分别为c.250G>A(Ala84Thr)纯合突变和c.250G>A(Ala84Thr)、c.524G>A(Arg175His)复合杂合突变。维生素B2治疗后症状明显改善,1例治疗10个月后呼吸肌和四肢近端肌无力症状完全消失,恢复正常运动功能;1例治疗2个月后行走、跑步如常,颈部肌肉恢复至正常状态;1例治疗2个月后可参加剧烈运动且无疲劳感。结论核黄素反应性脂质沉积性肌病虽然以四肢近端和躯干肌无力,以及运动不耐受为主要表现,但也需注意少数以呼吸肌无力为首发症状的病例,避免漏诊和误诊。维生素B2单药治疗效果极佳,症状可明显好转或痊愈。因此,临床疑似核黄素反应性脂质沉积性肌病患者可尝试维生素B2诊断性治疗。
ObjectiveThe clinical manifestation and electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase(ETFDH) gene mutation of riboflavin-responsive lipid storage myopathy were analyzed for early diagnosisand treatment.MethodsClinical material, ETFDH gene mutation and the motor function before and aftervitamin B2treatment in 3 patients from 2 predigrees were collected from August 2012 to March 2013 in ourhospital.ResultsCase 1 was 16-year-old female. The chief complaint was difficulty of breathing andexpectorating for over 3 years. Clinical symptoms included progressive respiratory muscle and proximallimb muscle weakness and worsen by fever, cardiac involvement, myopathic electromyography(EMG)changes and deposition of lipid droplets in muscle fiber by oil red O staining. Case 2 and Case 3 werebrothers, the chief complaint of whom was fatigue after exercise for more than 1 year and 1 month,respectively. Clinical symptoms included significantly weakness of lower limbs and neck muscles afterexercise and myopathic EMG changes. All 3 patients from two predigrees presented ETFDH gene mutation[c.250G > A(Ala84Thr) homozygous mutations and c.250G > A(Ala84Thr) and c.524G > A(Arg175His)compound heterozygous mutations, respectively]. They all had a dramatic response to vitamin B2treatmentwith muscle strength and motor function recovering to normal. The symptoms of Case 1 were completelydisappeared with vitamin B2treatment for over 10 months, including respiratory muscle and proximal limbmuscle weakness, and the motor function of her limbs returned to normal, characterized by completing over10 squat-stand in 1 min. Case 2 could walk and run as ordinary people, raise his head without difficultyand play basketball about 2 h without fatigue after vitamin B2treatment for over 2 months. Case 3 couldparticipate in any kind of strenuous exercise without fatigue after vitamin B2treatment for over 2 months.ConclusionsRiboflavin-responsive lipid storage myopathy is mainly characterized by proximal limb andtrunk muscle weakness and intolerance of movement, however, rare cases with first symptom of respiratorymuscle weakness should also be concerned. In addition, it is a treatable genetic disease. The patientscould be cured or significantly improved with vitamin B2monotherapy. So vitamin B2exploratory treatmentshould be given when the patients are suspected of riboflavin-responsive lipid storage myopathy.
