Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1539: Danon Disease: Entire LAMP2 Gene Deletion with Unusual Clinical Presentation & mdash;Case Report and Review of the Literature
This report describes a 42-year-old father and his 3-year-old daughter presenting with mild manifestations of the disease. The father has normal intellectual development and normal physical activity. At the age of 13, he was diagnosed with mild ventricular pre-excitation known as Wolf–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPWs), very mild and mostly asymptomatic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular hypertrophy, and at about the age of 25 presented with visual impairment due to cone–rod dystrophy. His daughter showed normal development and very mild asymptomatic electrocardiographic WPWs abnormalities with left mild ventricular hypertrophy. Genetic testing revealed an Xq24 microdeletion encompassing the entire LAMP2 gene. Relevant literature was reviewed as a reference for the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and case management.
