Abstract:

We describe a case series of five infants (age range: 1–90 days; 4 females and 1 male) who presented to Al Jalila Children’s intensive care units (ICU) with complex multisystem disorders. Patients were Emirati, Kenyan, Jordanian, Filipino, or Pakistani. Trio rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) was performed on all five patients and their parents within the hospital’s genomics facility. Results were returned within ~37 h from blood sample draws and were diagnostic in 3 out of 5 patients. Positive findings were a homozygous pathogenic variant in POMT1 gene causing muscular dystrophydystroglycanopathy, a mosaic tetrasomy of the short arm of chromosome 12 (12p13.33p11.1) causing Pallister-Killian syndrome, and compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the LIPA gene causing lysosomal acid lipase deficiency and Wolman disease. The rWGS analysis provided fast and precise diagnostic findings in those 3 patients and also aided in devising better management plans for them in the intensive care setting. For example, the 3-month-old infant with pathogenic variants in the LIPA gene is now a candidate for an FDA-approved, potentially lifesaving enzyme replacement therapy (sebelipase alfa). Our case series emphasize the feasibility and utility of rWGS in pediatric intensive care setting, in a diverse population that has long been underserved in genomic services. Significant investments in local healthcare infrastructure are needed, globally, for more equitable access of genomic medicine among vulnerable patients.

15-Year progression to liver cancer in the lack of treatment for lysosomal acid lipase deficiency: A case report

Article

Author: Perales, Simone Reges ; de Ataíde, Elaine Cristina ; Sevá-Pereira, Tiago ; Veiga, Clauber Teles ; Greca, Raquel Dias ; de França, Eloy Vianey Carvalho ; de Campos Mazo, Daniel Ferraz ; Cunha-Silva, Marlone ; Monici, Leonardo Trevizan ; de Moraes, Priscilla Brito Sena

Rationale::

Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is a poorly diagnosed genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in many tissues, leading to dyslipidemia and cardiovascular complications. In the liver, deposits are found within hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, generating microvesicular steatosis, progressive fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Sebelipase alfa is the target therapy which can improve laboratory changes and reduce the progression of liver damage, but this is not yet widely available.

Patient Concerns::

We are reporting a 15-year follow-up of a Brazilian man who was diagnosed with cirrhosis at age 43 and with LAL-D at age 53, but he has never been treated with sebelipase alfa for economic reasons. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, he lost follow-up and missed three 6-month ultrasound exams for liver cancer screening.

Diagnosis::

At age 58, a remarkable deterioration in liver function was observed and he was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) outside the Milan Criteria (two nodules measuring 48mm and 25mm). Three other individuals with LAL-D and progression to liver cancer have been reported so far and none of them underwent enzyme replacement therapy: an 11-year-old girl with HCC, a 51-year-old male with cholangiocarcinoma, and a 21-year-old male with hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma. The latter had the same mutation in the gene LIPA as our patient, but a relationship between this variant and malignancies has not yet been established.

Lessons::

We emphasize how important is to treat LAL-D patients after diagnosis in order to avoid worsening liver function and progression to neoplasms. Untreated individuals should be considered at a higher risk but the most appropriate liver cancer screening program for this subgroup is still unknown.

NHS expedites availability of Belumosudil for chronic GVHD

The once-daily tablet hinders proteins that trigger the severe inflammatory response linked to chronic GVHD. Credit: fizkes / Shutterstock.com. The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has expedited the availability of the new drug, Belumosudil (Rezurock), for cancer patients with chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). The decision provides a treatment that can be administered in the at-home setting, reducing hospital visits. Administered as a once-daily tablet, Belumosudil hinders proteins that trigger the severe inflammatory response linked to chronic GVHD. Clinical trials have demonstrated that up to three-quarters of the subjects responded to the therapy, with significant effectiveness in treating symptoms affecting the mouth, intestine or joints. The treatment is accessible through the NHS England’s Innovative Medicines Fund, which fast-tracks the delivery of the most promising non-cancer drugs to patients. See Also: AbbVie licenses OSE’s chronic inflammation therapy for $48m upfront DNTH-103 by Dianthus Therapeutics for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP): Likelihood of Approval Chronic GVHD is a rare but serious condition that can occur after a life-saving stem cell transplant. White blood cells in the donated tissue attack the patient’s organs and weaken their immune system. Approximately one-third of patients who receive stem cell or bone marrow transplants for blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma can develop chronic GVHD. Around 1,200 patients in England undergo such transplants each year. Around 400 go on to develop the condition, which is sometimes mild but for one in ten cases is fatal. For half of patients with chronic GVHD, existing therapies such as pentostatin, rituximab and imatinib are ineffective. Belumosudil will now be made available for 200 severely affected patients who have not responded to two previous therapies. This development comes after the NHS decided to fast-track the funding for the drug based on clinical guidance from the UK National Institute of Health and Care Excellence ( Nice ). Belumosudil is the fourth therapy offered to patients through the Innovative Medicines Fund. In September 2023, the NHS used the fund to roll out Sebelipase alfa, a therapy for treating Wolman’s disease, a rare genetic ailment. NHS England specialised services medical director James Palmer stated: “This rollout is a real breakthrough for patients with graft versus host disease and it will help people living with this debilitating condition effectively manage their symptoms and enhance their quality of life and daily functioning. “It’s great news that the NHS has been able to fast-track funding for a treatment which will have a significant impact for hundreds of patients over the coming years.”

AstraZeneca's rare disease unit receives NICE recommendation for Wolman disease therapy in infants

AstraZeneca's rare disease unit has received a recommendation from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for the use of its enzyme replacement therapy in infants with Wolman disease. Alexion’s Kanuma (sebelipase alfa), which has been specifically recommended for use in patients who are aged two years or younger when administration begins, will now become the first treatment available on the NHS for the rapidly-progressive rare genetic disease. Occurring in around one in 350,000 births, Wolman disease causes a build-up of fat in cells in the liver, heart, blood vessels and digestive system. Symptoms in infants include enlarged liver and spleen, poor weight gain, low muscle tone, jaundice, vomiting, diarrhoea, developmental delay and anaemia. Until now, standard care for the disease has been palliative and limited to managing symptoms, with patients normally not surviving past the age of one without treatment. Administered as weekly intravenous infusions which can be given at home alongside a restricted low-fat diet, Kanuma works by replacing an enzyme missing in the body. Some patients may also have a blood and marrow/stem cell transplant. NHS chief executive, Amanda Pritchard, said: “I am delighted the NHS can now, for the first time, offer a life-changing treatment to families facing this enormously difficult condition. “Where previously there were no treatments available for infants facing this debilitating disease, this new therapy could save families from facing indescribable grief and allow more children… to grow up, go to school and live normal lives.” The therapy will now be fast-tracked via NHS England’s Innovative Medicines Fund to enable routine patient access up to five months earlier than would otherwise be the case. Sean Richardson, vice president and general manager, Alexion, UK, described NICE’s decision as a “milestone moment for infants born with Wolman Disease and their families”. He continued: “The recommendation is the result of continued constructive collaboration between Alexion, NICE, NHS England, patient groups and the medical community, to ensure babies born with this life-threatening disease have a treatment available to them.”
