Novel Genetic Microvascular Dysplasia Causing Hypoperfusion of Cardiac, Renal, and Cerebral Circulation
Background: Microvascular disorders represent an uncommon site of tissue hypo-perfusion and damage. Various genetic and acquired causes can be involved. A 65-year-old man was admitted because of refractory angina, which he had had since the age of 30 years, micro-hematuria, and recurrent transitory...

description | Background: Microvascular disorders represent an uncommon site of tissue hypo-perfusion and damage. Various genetic and acquired causes can be involved. A 65-year-old man was admitted because of refractory angina, which he had had since the age of 30 years, micro-hematuria, and recurrent transitory ischemic attacks from the age of 64. Methods: Hematochemical studies, ECG, Holter monitoring, 2D-echo, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), CTA of cerebral vessels, endomyocardial coronary angiography, and kidney biopsy processes were undertaken. Gene mutation analysis was conducted using next-generation sequencing, which included more than 5000 genes associated with inherited diseases. Results: Hematochemical findings were unremarkable. The ECG, Holter, 2D-echo, and CTA of brain vessels were normal. Cerebral magnetic resonance showed the presence of multiple small foci of ischemia. Coronary and ventricular angiography showed normal arteries with remarkably slow flow and multiple biventricular micro-aneurysms. At the endomyocardial biopsy, five of seven arterioles presented severe lumen obstruction due to hypertrophy and disarray of the muscular coat. Similarly, obstructed pre-glomerular arteries with glomerular sclerosis were seen at the renal biopsy. Genetics identified mutations in the ABCC6, MMP2, and XYLT1 genes, which play pivotal roles in the extracellular matrix. Conclusion: This study described a new genetic microvascular obstructive disease causing progressive hypo-perfusion of the human brain, heart, and kidney. |
