          Abstract

          Resumen: Introducción: la displasia fibrosa poliostótica es una patología de muy baja prevalencia, por lo que su diagnóstico pasa desapercibido en la mayoría de los casos. Cuando se asocia a endocrinopatías o a lesiones cutáneas hiperpigmentadas corresponde al síndrome de McCune-Albright. Caso clínico: escolar de 8 años, sexo femenino, que presentó una fractura patológica de fémur izquierdo traumática, en la cual se diagnosticó una displasia fibrosa poliostótica. Por presentarse acompañada de pubertad precoz periférica configura el denominado síndrome de McCune-Albright. El control y tratamiento fue multidisciplinario. El equipo de traumatología realizó osteosíntesis con placa y tornillos de la lesión ósea con evolución a la consolidación en plazos habituales (tres meses). A los seis meses de seguimiento la niña se encuentra sin dolor y sin repercusiones funcionales para la vida diaria. Del punto de vista endocrinológico se realizó tratamiento de su pubertad precoz con inhibidores de la aromatasa con el fin de mejorar su talla final y evitar repercusiones psicológicas y emocionales. En este estudio se analizan características de esta patología y su pronóstico vital y funcional.

Por estar acompanhada de puberdade precoce periférica, configura a chamada síndrome de McCune Albright. O controle e o tratamento foram multidisciplinares. A equipe de trauma realizou osteossíntese de placa e parafuso da lesão óssea com progressão à consolidação nos prazos usuais (3 meses). Aos 6 meses de seguimento, a paciente não apresenta dor e tampouco repercussões funcionais no dia a dia. Do ponto de vista endocrinológico, sua puberdade precoce foi tratada com inibidores da aromatase para melhorar sua altura final e evitar repercussões psicológicas e emocionais.

          Summary: Introduction: polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a low prevalence disease, and for this reason, it often goes undetected. When associated to endocrinopathies and/or hyperpigmented skin lesions we speak about McCune Albright syndrome. Clinical case: eight-year old school girl who presented pathological fracture of the left femur, which was diagnosed as polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. As it was accompanied by peripheral precocious puberty it constituted an indicative clinical picture of the so-called McCune Albright. Control and treatment were multidisciplinary. The traumatology team performed osteosynthesis with plaques and nails to fix the bone lesion, and evolution consolidated in a regular time frame (3 months). Upon six months follow-up, the girl has no pain and presents no functional repercussion in daily life. From the endocrinological perspective, the girl received precocious puberty treatment with aromatase inhibitors with the purpose of improving her final size and avoid psychological and emotional implications. The study presents the characteristics of this condition, as well as its vital and functional prognosis.

          Activating mutations of the stimulatory G protein in the McCune-Albright syndrome.

          The McCune-Albright syndrome is a sporadic disease characterized by polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café au lait spots, sexual precocity, and hyperfunction of multiple endocrine glands. These manifestations may be explained by a somatic mutation in affected tissues that results in activation of the signal-transduction pathway generating cyclic AMP (cAMP). We analyzed DNA from tissues of patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome for the presence of activating mutations of the gene for the alpha subunit of the G protein (Gs alpha) that stimulates cAMP formation. Genomic DNA fragments encompassing regions (exons 8 and 9) previously found to contain activating missense mutations of the Gs alpha gene (gsp mutations) in sporadically occurring pituitary tumors were amplified in tissues from four patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome by the polymerase chain reaction. The amplified DNA was analyzed for mutations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. We detected one of two activating mutations within exon 8 of the Gs alpha gene in tissues from all four patients, including affected endocrine organs (gonads, adrenal glands, thyroid, and pituitary) and tissues not classically involved in the McCune-Albright syndrome. In two of the patients, histidine was substituted for arginine at position 201 of Gs alpha, and in the other two patients cysteine was substituted for the same arginine residue. In each patient the proportion of cells affected varied from tissue to tissue. In two endocrine organs, the highest proportion of mutant alleles was found in regions of abnormal cell proliferation. Mutations within exon 8 of the Gs alpha gene that result in increased activity of the Gs protein and increased cAMP formation are present in various tissues of patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome. Somatic mutation of this gene early in embryogenesis could result in the mosaic population of normal and mutant-bearing tissues that may underlie the clinical manifestations of this disease.

            McCune-Albright syndrome

            McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is classically defined by the clinical triad of fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD), café-au-lait skin spots, and precocious puberty (PP). It is a rare disease with estimated prevalence between 1/100,000 and 1/1,000,000. FD can involve a single or multiple skeletal sites and presents with a limp and/or pain, and, occasionally, a pathologic fracture. Scoliosis is common and may be progressive. In addition to PP (vaginal bleeding or spotting and development of breast tissue in girls, testicular and penile enlargement and precocious sexual behavior in boys), other hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies may be involved including hyperthyroidism, growth hormone excess, Cushing syndrome, and renal phosphate wasting. Café-au-lait spots usually appear in the neonatal period, but it is most often PP or FD that brings the child to medical attention. Renal involvement is seen in approximately 50% of the patients with MAS. The disease results from somatic mutations of the GNAS gene, specifically mutations in the cAMP regulating protein, Gs alpha. The extent of the disease is determined by the proliferation, migration and survival of the cell in which the mutation spontaneously occurs during embryonic development. Diagnosis of MAS is usually established on clinical grounds. Plain radiographs are often sufficient to make the diagnosis of FD and biopsy of FD lesions can confirm the diagnosis. The evaluation of patients with MAS should be guided by knowledge of the spectrum of tissues that may be involved, with specific testing for each. Genetic testing is possible, but is not routinely available. Genetic counseling, however, should be offered. Differential diagnoses include neurofibromatosis, osteofibrous dysplasia, non-ossifying fibromas, idiopathic central precocious puberty, and ovarian neoplasm. Treatment is dictated by the tissues affected, and the extent to which they are affected. Generally, some form of surgical intervention is recommended. Bisphosphonates are frequently used in the treatment of FD. Strengthening exercises are recommended to help maintaining the musculature around the FD bone and minimize the risk for fracture. Treatment of all endocrinopathies is required. Malignancies associated with MAS are distinctly rare occurrences. Malignant transformation of FD lesions occurs in probably less than 1% of the cases of MAS.

              A clinician's guide to X-linked hypophosphatemia.

              X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the prototypic disorder of renal phosphate wasting, and the most common form of heritable rickets. Physicians, patients, and support groups have all expressed concerns about the dearth of information about this disease and the lack of treatment guidelines, which frequently lead to missed diagnoses or mismanagement. This perspective addresses the recommendation by conferees for the dissemination of concise and accessible treatment guidelines for clinicians arising from the Advances in Rare Bone Diseases Scientific Conference held at the NIH in October 2008. We briefly review the clinical and pathophysiologic features of the disorder and offer this guide in response to the conference recommendation, based on our collective accumulated experience in the management of this complex disorder.
