The presentation of nephrotic syndrome during immunosuppressive
treatment for aplastic anemia with monosomy 7 in a 16-year-old boy: a
case report
Abstract
Most cases of aplastic anemia (AA) complicated by nephrotic syndrome
(NS) have been reported to be the effects of chronic graft-versus-host
disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We
describe a 16-year-old boy with AA with monosomy 7 who developed NS
during immunosuppressive treatment for AA alone without HSCT. Recently,
there appeared a report of MIRAGE syndrome caused by gain-of-function
mutation of SAMD9 gene on chromosome 7 who developed NS. No such
mutation was detected in our patient and thus the genetic factors
leading to the complication of two diseases remain unknown at this time.
