Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VI is a rare inherited disorder of the connective tissue caused by pathogenic variants in SERPINF1 gene, which encodes the pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). PEDF is implicated in many biologic processes, including an anti-cancer role. This information is supported by in vitro and in vivo studies that evidenced its anti-angiogenic, anti-tumorigenic, and anti-metastatic properties. Although OI is related to skeletal changes such as bone fragility and deformities, as well as to other connective tissue defects, it does not represent a greater predisposition to the development of skeletal tumors. Here, we report on an adult with OI in which a deletion in exon 8 of the SERPINF1 gene (c.1152_1170del; p.384_390del) was identified. The patient presented popcorn calcification in both femoral epiphyses, but one of them presented radiological characteristics and evolution suspected of malignancy. Later, it was diagnosed as chondrosarcoma. This paper discusses that OI type VI patients may be at risk of developing some types of cancer.
VI型成骨不全症(OI)是一种罕见的结缔组织遗传性疾病,由SERPINF1基因突变引起,该基因编码色素上皮衍生因子(PEDF)。PEDF参与许多生物学过程,包括抗癌作用。体外和体内研究均支持这一信息,这些研究证明了其抗血管生成、抗肿瘤发生和抗转移特性。虽然OI与骨骼变化如骨脆性和畸形以及其他结缔组织缺陷有关,但它并不意味着更容易发生骨骼肿瘤。在此,我们报告一名患有OI的成年人,其SERPINF1基因第8外显子存在缺失(c.1152_1170del;p.384_390del)。该患者双侧股骨骨骺均出现爆米花样钙化,但其中一处呈现出疑似恶性的放射学特征和演变过程。后来,其被诊断为软骨肉瘤。本文讨论了VI型OI患者可能有患某些类型癌症的风险。
