May-Hegglin anomaly, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, and Epstein syndrome are autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenias distinguished by different combinations of clinical and laboratory signs, such as sensorineural hearing loss, cataract, nephritis, and polymorphonuclear Döhle-like bodies. Mutations in the MYH9 gene encoding for the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA) have been identified in all these syndromes. To understand the role of the MYH9 mutations, we report the molecular defects in 12 new cases, which together with our previous works represent a cohort of 19 families. Since no genotype-phenotype correlation was established, we performed an accurate clinical and biochemical re-evaluation of patients. In addition to macrothrombocytopenia, an abnormal distribution of NMMHC-IIA within leukocytes was observed in all individuals, including those without Döhle-like bodies. Selective, high-tone hearing deficiency and cataract was diagnosed in 83% and 23%, respectively, of patients initially referred as having May-Hegglin anomaly or Sebastian syndrome. Kidney abnormalities, such as hematuria and proteinuria, affected not only patients referred as Fechtner syndrome and Epstein syndrome but also those referred as May-Hegglin anomaly and Sebastian syndrome. These findings allowed us to conclude that May-Hegglin anomaly, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, and Epstein syndrome are not distinct entities but rather a single disorder with a continuous clinical spectrum varying from mild macrothrombocytopenia with leukocyte inclusions to a severe form complicated by hearing loss, cataracts, and renal failure. For this new nosologic entity, we propose the term "MHY9-related disease," which better interprets the recent knowledge in this field and identifies all patients at risk of developing renal, hearing, or visual defects.
May-Hegglin异常、塞巴斯蒂安综合征、费希特纳综合征和爱泼斯坦综合征是常染色体显性遗传性巨血小板减少症,其特征在于临床和实验室体征的不同组合,如感音神经性听力损失、白内障、肾炎和多形核白细胞样Döhle小体。在所有这些综合征中均已鉴定出编码非肌肉肌球蛋白重链IIA(NMMHC-IIA)的MYH9基因突变。为了解MYH9突变的作用,我们报告了12例新病例中的分子缺陷,这些病例与我们之前的研究共同构成了一个由19个家庭组成的队列。由于未建立基因型与表型的相关性,我们对患者进行了准确的临床和生化重新评估。除巨血小板减少外,在所有个体中均观察到白细胞内NMMHC-IIA的异常分布,包括那些没有Döhle样小体的个体。最初被诊断为May-Hegglin异常或塞巴斯蒂安综合征的患者中,分别有83%和23%被诊断出选择性高音听力缺陷和白内障。肾脏异常,如血尿和蛋白尿,不仅影响被诊断为费希特纳综合征和爱泼斯坦综合征的患者,也影响被诊断为May-Hegglin异常和塞巴斯蒂安综合征的患者。这些发现使我们得出结论,May-Hegglin异常、塞巴斯蒂安综合征、费希特纳综合征和爱泼斯坦综合征并非不同的实体,而是一种单一的疾病,其临床谱从伴有白细胞包涵体的轻度巨血小板减少症到伴有听力损失、白内障和肾衰竭的严重形式呈连续变化。对于这个新的疾病实体,我们建议使用“MHY9相关疾病”这一术语,它能更好地解释该领域的最新知识,并识别出所有有发生肾脏、听力或视觉缺陷风险的患者。
