摘要:
目的 探讨北方地区Citrin蛋白缺陷所致的婴儿胆汁淤积症的临床特征及基因突变特点。 方法 选取2015年1月—2018年12月首都儿科研究所附属儿童医院消化内科经血串联质谱和/或基因检测诊断的23例北方地区Citrin蛋白缺陷所致的肝内胆汁淤积症(NICCD)患儿为NICCD组,同时期经过一系列系统检查后仍未明确病因的36例特发性肝内胆汁淤积症(INC)患儿为INC组,回顾性分析NICCD组患儿的临床表现、实验室检查结果、病理、血尿代谢筛查和基因结果,随访患儿转归情况,并对两组生化指标进行比较。符合正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用独立样本t检验;非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料两组间比较采用χ2检验。 结果 23例NICCD患儿中,伴有低血糖患儿10例,伴有低白蛋白血症患儿13例,伴有高血氨患儿17例,伴有高乳酸患儿15例;15例LDL升高,6例胆固醇升高,7例甘油三酯升高;17例PT延长,16例患儿APTT延长。与INC组对比,NICCD组GGT、TBA、活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)明显高于INC组,Alb较INC组为低,差异均具有统计学意义(Z=-2.487、Z=-3.528、t=3.532、t=-2.24,P值均 < 0.05)。NICCD组患儿血串联质谱中最常见异常是精氨酸、瓜氨酸、甲硫氨酸及游离肉碱、长链酰基肉碱水平的升高,尿气相色谱提示最常见的4-羟基苯乳酸、半乳糖、半乳糖醇、半乳糖酸的升高。23例均行基因检测,发现致病突变16种,其中新发现突变7种,为IVS14-9A>G、c1640 G>A、c.762T>A、c.736delG、c.1098 T del、c.851G>A、c.550G>A。除2例患儿失访外,21例患儿经过治疗2~6个月后转氨酶及胆红素水平逐渐恢复正常,随访至1岁,患儿均无生长发育落后,其中2例患儿出现饮食偏好(喜食鱼类、肉类,不喜主食)。 结论 血GGT、TBA、Alb、APTT指标的异常可为NICCD与INC鉴别诊断提供思路。北方地区NICCD基因突变具有异质性,大部分患儿预后良好。 -

Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical features and gene mutation characteristics of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused citrin deficiency (NICCD) in northern China. Methods A total of 23 pediatric patients in northern China who were diagnosed with NICCD by blood tandem mass spectrometry and/or gene detection in Department of Gastroenterology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics, from January 2015 to December 2018 were enrolled as NICCD group, and 36 pediatric patients with idiopathic neonatal cholestasis (INC) who had unclarified etiology after a series of examinations during the same period of time were enrolled as INC group. A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, pathology, blood/urine metabolic screening, and gene sequencing results of the pediatric patients in the NICCD group, and follow-up was performed to observe their outcome; biochemical parameters were compared between the two groups. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results Among the 23 patients in the NICCD group, 10 had hypoglycemia, 13 had hypoalbuminemia, 17 had hyperammonemia, and 15 had hyperlactacidemia; 15 had an increase in low-density lipoprotein, 6 had an increase in cholesterol, and 7 had an increase in triglyceride; 17 had prolonged prothrombin time, and 16 had prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Compared with the INC group, the NICCD group had significantly higher gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bile acid (TBA), and APTT and a significantly lower albumin (Alb) level (Z=-2.487, Z=-3.528, t=3.532, t=-2.24, all P < 0.05). For the patients with NICCD, blood tandem mass spectrometry showed that the most common abnormalities were the increased levels of arginine, citrulline, methionine, free carnitine, and long-chain acylcarnitine, while urinary gas chromatography showed the increased levels of 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, galactose, galactitol, and galactonic acid. Gene detection was performed for all 23 patients and identified 16 pathogenic mutations, among which 7 were newly discovered, namely ivs14-9a>G, c1640 G>A, c.762T>A, c.736delG, c.1098 T del, c.851G>A, and c.550G>A. Except for the 2 patients who were lost to follow-up, the levels of aminotransferases and bilirubin gradually returned to normal in 21 patients after 2-6 months of treatment; none of them showed delayed growth and development after being followed up to the age of 1 year, and 2 of them developed dietary preference (they liked fish and meat and did not like staple food). Conclusion Abnormalities of blood GGT, TBA, Alb, and APTT may provide ideas for the differential diagnosis of NICCD and INC. NICCD gene mutations in northern China are heterogeneous and most patients tend to have a good prognosis. -
