Abstract

Background: Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a neuromuscular abnormality with clinical heterogeneity and various severity, where over 30 subtypes have been identified. Meanwhile, molecular diagnosis of LGMD is not commonly carried out in Indonesia. We present a large pedigree of familial LGMD, with over 14 years of follow-up.Case Presentation: A 12-year old female patient came with muscle weakness. She had toe walking since age of 6, followed by calf hypertrophy for over three years. Family history revealed complex consanguinity. Her younger sister and her parents’ cousin had similar condition, with the latter was already bedridden.Physical examination results were waddling gait, lordotic spine, and absent deep tendon reflexes. Muscle biopsy showed sign of dystrophic process. Immunoperoxidase staining of some proteins resulted normal. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in two siblings revealed homozygosity on chromosome 15 containing CAPN3 gene of LGMD2A subtype.Recently, the patient is wheelchair bound and undergoes rehabilitation. Her sister is still able to walk with abnormal gait, while her parents’ cousin had passed away in age 55. From the multiple consanguinity, it could be concluded as autosomal recessive type LGMD.Conclusion: A large family with LGMD from Indonesia was presented with more than 14 years of care. Clinical diagnosis was made based on physical and additional examination, however molecular analysis for establishing definitive diagnosis is still limited. Further studies such as targeted or whole exome sequencing is warranted to elucidate the cause of disease. Long-term evaluation and supportive care, in addition to proper counseling may increase quality of life.

Abstract

Background : Disorder of sex development (DSD) patients require comprehensive management to improve quality of life. A standardized management protocol for patients in Indonesia is not yet available resulting in patients infrequently received a proper diagnosis. This study reported a multidisciplinary management DSD in Indonesia based on minimal diagnostic facilities and expertise in developing country.Objectives : The purpose of the study is to review the management of DSD patients in Indonesia relates to providing appropriate gender assignment and to improving patients quality of life.Methodology : We analyzed the records of DSD patient admitted to the division of Human Genetics Center for Biomedical Research (CEBIOR) Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia from May 2004 - December 2015. Data were collected and analyzed for physical examination, family pedigree karyotyping, hormonal assays and  psychosocial.  Other examination such as ultrasonography, Xray and Cytoscopy were also recorded for selected cases. Bimonthly, Sexual Adjustment Team (SAT) meeting was recorded.Results : From the total 617 DSD cases we found 426 cases (69,04 %) with 46, XY DSD, 117 cases (18,96%) with 46,XX DSD and 74 cases (12%) with sex chromosome DSD. Most of the patients in the group of 46, XY DSD are Unknown Male Undervirilization (UMU) with 256 cases (60.09%). As the majority cases of 46, XX DSD was Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia with 81 cases (69.23%). The remaining cases were Androgen Action Disorder (AAD) with 140 cases (32.86%), 46, XY DSD Gonadal Dysgenesis with 30 cases (7.04%), Androgen Excess Disorders with 3 cases (2.56%), Defect of Mullerian Development with 19 cases (16,24%), 3 cases (2.56%) of Androgen Excess and 3 cases (2.56%) of 46, XX Gonadal Dysgenesis.Conclusion : Comprehensive management for DSD Patients help patient in diagnosis, gender assignment and support patient to improve quality of life. This multidisciplinary of DSD team is the only team in Indonesia that can be used as a model for other center in Indonesia as well as other developing countries with minimal diagnostic facilities.
