Type A insulin resistance syndrome (TAIRS) is a rare disorder characterized by severe insulin resistance due to defects in insulin receptor signaling. No specific drugs are available for the treatment of TAIRS. We report a case of TAIRS successfully treated with pioglitazone and flutamide for 5 years.
We present the rare case of a female patient aged 11 years and 9 mo with type A insulin resistance and an INSR heterozygous mutation (c.3614C>T), who was treated with a combination of pioglitazone and flutamide. This treatment regimen reduced hemoglobin A1c, fasting insulin and androgen levels.
Pioglitazone attenuated insulin resistance in this patient with TAIRS, and flutamide ameliorated masculinization.
A型胰岛素抵抗综合征(TAIRS)是一种罕见的疾病,其特征是由于胰岛素受体信号缺陷导致严重胰岛素抵抗。目前尚无治疗TAIRS的特效药物。我们报告1例TAIRS患者接受吡格列酮和氟他胺联合治疗5年并取得成功的病例。
我们报道1例罕见的11岁9个月女性患者,患有A型胰岛素抵抗和胰岛素受体(INSR)杂合突变(c.3614C>T),接受了吡格列酮和氟他胺联合治疗。该治疗方案降低了糖化血红蛋白、空腹胰岛素和雄激素水平。
吡格列酮减轻了该TAIRS患者的胰岛素抵抗,氟他胺改善了男性化症状。
