- Abstract
Introduction: Additional nucleotide substitutions in the 3'-untranslated region of prothrombin gene could explain some thrombotic events and also adverse pregnancy outcomes. We describe the first case of a homozygous 20209C>T mutation as the cause of deep vein thrombosis in a Spanish patient., Case and Methods: The 56-year-old male patient with a partial tear of the Achilles tendon developed calf (tibial) deep vein thrombosis after immobilization and was treated with an anticoagulant. To determine if the deep vein thrombosis was of genetic origin, a peripheral blood DNA sample was analysed for the presence of the three most frequent mutations associated with thrombotic events: factor V Leiden (1691G>A), prothrombin (20210G>A) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (677C>T). The presence or absence of the normal allele of prothrombin could not be determined using the PTH-FV-MTHFR StripAssay (Vienna Lab)., Results: Comprehensive analysis showed that the patient had a variant interfering with the polymerase chain reaction product, we sequenced the entire prothrombin gene and found that the patient had a homozygous C>T mutation at position 20209; this interfered with the polymerase chain reaction product, which needs a C at this position to be able to bind to the wild-type probe present in the test strip., Conclusion: The homozygous 20209C>T mutation and the presence of the mutation 677C>T in heterozygosity explained the patient's deep vein thrombosis because the combination of mutations would increase the risk of thrombosis. Suitable genetic counselling should be provided to the patient and first-degree relatives as it important to detect prothrombin gene variants that could increase risk for thrombotic events.

- Abstract
Introduction: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS) were the first syndromes in humans that were known to originate from the phenomenon of the genomic imprinting. We review our experience of 21 years with PWS and AS that were confirmed with the genetically., Results: Of the 13,875 patients recorded during the study period, 11 were diagnosed with PWS (18%), 7 males (63.6%) and 4 females (36.4%), with a mean age of 9.06 years (+/- 6.92, range: 0.68-21.6). The time of the follow up of this group was 3.83 years (+/- 4.03, range: 0.49-15.3), and the age at diagnosis was 4.4 years (+/- 6.84, range: 0.03-19.38). Almost three quarters (72.7% of the PWS patients had a uniparental dysomy and 27.3% a paternal deletion. Six patients (8%) were diagnosed with AS, 4 females (66.6%) and 2 males (33.4%), with a mean age of 14.65 years (+/- 11.89, range: 1.3-30.7). The time of follow up was 6.76 years (+/- 5.89,range: 0.16-15), and the age at diagnosis was 8.84 years (+/- 9.11, range: 1.10-23). A maternal deletion was present in 83.3% of the AS patients and 16.7% had a maternal dysomy., Discussion: As genetic advances are made these pathologies are confirmed before. Unlike the data in the literature, in our series most patients diagnosed with PWS (72'3%) had uniparental disomy. Recent studies correlation genotype with phenotype, in PWS is more serious if it occurs a deletion and in SA is milder in the case of uniparental disomy., Conclusions: Genetic studies must be performed in view of the established clinical symptoms: neonatal hypotonia of unknown cause in PWS and psychomotor deficits with autism features, particularly associated with epilepsy, must be evaluated in AS to prevent diagnostic uncertainties, unnecessary complementary examinations and to provide early genetic counselling., (Copyright © 2011 Asociación Española de Pediatría.

- Abstract
Introduction: Myotonic dystrophy is a highly variable autosomic dominant inherited multisystemic disease. We review our 18 years experience with patients suffering from this disease., Results: Eleven patients were identified following a molecular genetic study: 2 patients died, 5 are still under control, 2 are being controlled in another Centre, and 3 dropped out. Three of them were relatives. Seven newborns started with hypotonic symptoms in the neonatal period, with hypotonic symptoms, of which 4 had foetal suffering. One child was diagnosed at age of 3 due to her father being affected. One girl was seen at age of 10 due to stiffness and tightening of her hands for years. One boy, aged 5, was examined due to abnormal hands posture, and a 4 year old child due to psychomotor delay. Associated disorders: 7 children with psychomotor delay, 2 cases of cataracts, 1 case of diabetes type I, 3 cases of hypercholesterolemia, 1 abdominal sarcoma, 1 case of femur and hip fracture, 2 cases of interatrial communication. The diagnostic was made in 5 cases by a clinic due to mother-son relation phenotype, in 3 cases after the family diagnosis and in another 3 cases non-congenital symptoms exclusively in the child's clinic., Discussion: In our experience, myotonic dystrophy is uncommon; it is often congenital, and is associated with perinatal suffering. Genetics can identify or exclude the process. This must be done on newborns who are hypotonic for an unknown reason. It should be suspected in a child who presents with motor abnormalities in the fingers and hands.

- Abstract
Inborn errors of cobalamin (Cbl) metabolism affect its absorption, transport, as well as its intracellular metabolism. Hereditary juvenile megaloblastic anaemia due to cobalamin deficiency, results from defects in Cbl absorption. There is a lack of vitamin B12 in congenital pernicious anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency and megaloblastic anaemia 1 due to selective intestinal malabsorption of vitamin B12 or Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome. Differential diagnosis can't be accomplished only by clinical and biochemical findings. We present a patient from Spain with a megaloblastic anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency (IFD). The patient is a compound heterozygous in GIF gene for a splice site mutation inherited from his mother and a missense change inherited from his father. The identification of disease-causing mutations in specific genes has improved our ability to diagnose many of these conditions.

- Abstract
Background: Several studies have examined the association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotype and plasma homocysteine concentrations in adults but few studies have been performed in children., Objective: To determine plasma concentrations of total homocysteine, folate, vitamin B12, and red cell folate in a group of healthy children and to determine their possible relationship with the MTHFR genotype., Subjects and Methods: Eighty-three subjects (45 boys and 38 girls), aged between 1 week and 18 years, were included in the study. Plasma and whole blood samples were stored at 80 C for biochemical and molecular analysis. Plasma total homocysteine was determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Serum concentrations of folate, vitamin B12, and red cell folate were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Genotypic analysis was performed by polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA extracted from blood leukocytes., Results: Plasma homocysteine concentrations were negatively correlated with folate, vitamin B12, and red cell folate but were positively correlated with age (p < 0.005). There was an association between age-MTHFR genotype and folic acid, vitamin B12, and red cell folate, but not with homocysteine concentrations., Conclusions: Our results suggest that in a healthy pediatric population, homocysteine concentrations are determined by biochemical factors, such as folic acid, more than by genetic factors.

- Abstract
Background and Objective: The etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) is multifactorial. The presence of mutated genotypes of C677T and A1298C polymorphisms, and their combined heterozygosity, have been considered risk factors for the occurrence and recurrence of NTDs in some populations., Subjects and Method: This case-control study included 159 healthy controls, 27 NTDs patients, 28 patients' mothers and 23 siblings. The polymorphism study was performed by PCR. For fragment digestion, we used the restriction enzymes Hinf I (C677T) and Mbo II (A1298C)., Results: There was no significant difference (p = 0.991) in C677T genotypes between controls (CC: 35%, CT: 50% and TT: 15%) and patients (37, 52 and 11%, respectively), patients' mothers (39, 50 and 11%, respectively) and siblings (35, 48 and 17%, respectively). The prevalence of A1298C genotypes in controls (AA: 49%, AC: 45% and CC: 6%) was similar (p = 0.917) to the prevalence in patients (41, 56 and 4%, respectively), patients' mothers (43, 50 and 7%, respectively) and siblings (52, 39 and 9%, respectively)., Conclusions: The absence of differences in the two polymorphisms between these groups makes us conclude that there is no association with NTDs in the Spanish population.
