Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- A child, 2 years with the "hypercalprotectinemia with hyperzincemia" clinical syndrome presented with atypical symptoms and signs, notably persistent fever of around 38°C, thrombocythaemia of >700 x 10(9) /L, and a predominance of persistent intestinal symptoms. In an effort to find a cure by identifying the dysregulated pathways we analyzed whole-genome mRNA expression by the Affymetrix HG U133 PLUS 2.0 array on three occasions 3 to 5 months apart. Major upregulation was demonstrated for the JAK/STAT pathway including in particular CD177, S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12, accounting for the thrombocytosis; a large number of interleukins, their receptors, and activators, accounting for the febrile apathic state; and the HMBG1 gene, possibly accounting for part of the intestinal symptoms. These results show that gene expression array technology may assist the clinician in the diagnostic workup of individual patients with suspected syndromal states of unknown origin, and the expression data can guide the selection of optimal treatment directed at the identified target pathways.
