Resumen

La Aracnodactilia Contractural Congénita  (ACC) es una enfermedad del tejido conectivo de herencia autosómica dominante, causada por variantes en el gen FBN2 que codifica la fibrilina-2. Tiene características específicas como contracturas congénitas, oreja con hélice superior arrugada, camptodactilia, pectus carinatum y complicaciones como escoliosis y la cifoescoliosis. Publicamos el caso de una paciente femenina de 19 años con historia de delgadez, velocidad de crecimiento acelerada, talla alta, pérdida de peso, contracturas articulares, hipotonía congénita, pubertad precoz, hábito marfanoide, pectus carinatum y leve aracnodactilia. Se sospecha de enfermedad del colágeno y se solicita secuenciación del exoma completo mediante NGS  (del inglés Next Generation Sequencing) + CNVs  (del inglés Copy Number Variations) genes relacionados con colagenopatías; se identificó una variante en el gen FBN2  (NM_001999.4): c.4394G>A; p.Cys1465Tyr; estado heterocigoto de significancia clínica probablemente patogénica. La ACC es fenotípicamente similar al síndrome de Marfán y se caracteriza por aracnodactilia, dolicostenomelia, escoliosis, contracturas congénitas múltiples y anomalías de los oídos externos. A diferencia del síndrome de Marfán; no tiene compromiso ocular ni afecta la raíz aórtica. Cuenta con variabilidad fenotípica que le dan la heterogeneidad que pueden interferir y retrasar el proceso diagnóstico y terapéutico específico al solaparse con otras condiciones médicas. Los avances en la medicina y la genómica con la utilización de nuevos métodos diagnósticos han permitido que cada día nos acerquemos más a la medicina 6P  (precisión, predicción, prevención, personalizada, participativa con enfoque poblacional) que impacta en el diagnóstico, tratamiento específico, seguimiento, pronóstico y adecuado asesoramiento genético de las enfermedades.


Abstract

Contractural arachnodactyly congenita  (CCA) is an autosomal dominantly inherited connective tissue disease caused by variants in the FBN2 gene encoding fibrillin-2. It has specific features such as congenital contractures, wrinkled upper helix ear, camptodactyly, pectus carinatum and complications such as scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis. We publish the case of a 19-year-old female patient with a history of thinness, accelerated growth velocity, tall stature, weight loss, joint contractures, congenital hypotonia, precocious puberty, marfanoid habitus, pectus carinatum and mild arachnodactyly. Collagen disease was suspected and whole exome sequencing by NGS  (Next Generation Sequencing) + CNVs  (Copy Number Variations) genes related to collagenopathies was requested; a variant was identified in the FBN2 gene  (NM_001999.4): c.4394G>A; p.Cys1465Tyr; heterozygous state of probably pathogenic clinical significance. CCA is phenotypically similar to Marfan syndrome and is characterized by arachnodactyly, dolichostenomelia, scoliosis, multiple congenital contractures, and external ear anomalies. Unlike Marfan syndrome, it has no ocular involvement and does not affect the aortic root. It has phenotypic variability that gives it heterogeneity that can interfere and delay the specific diagnostic and therapeutic process by overlapping with other medical conditions. Advances in medicine and genomics with the use of new diagnostic methods have allowed us to get closer to 6P medicine  (precision, prediction, prevention, personalized, participatory with a population approach) that impacts on the diagnosis, specific treatment, follow-up, prognosis and adequate genetic counseling of diseases.
