ウルバッハ・ビーテ病 (ウルバッハ・ビーテびょう、英: Urbach–Wiethe diseases)は非常に稀な潜性遺伝疾患で、症例はこの疾患が初めて報告されてから現在に至るまでおよそ400件程度である[1][2][3]。1908年に初めて症例が確認され[4][5][6]、1929年にオーストリアのエーリヒ・ウルバッハとカミーロ・ビーテによって正式に報告された。[7][8]
症状は個人差が大きく、声のかすれ、病斑や瘢痕、皮膚の自然治癒力の低下、肌の乾燥やしわ、瞼周辺の丘疹などが確認されている[4][9][10]。これらは肌や粘膜の肥厚によって引き起こされる。他にも側頭葉の脳組織の硬化によりてんかんや精神神経系の異常をきたす場合もある[11]。一般的には、命に関わったり、余命が短くなるようなことはないとされている[10]。
ウルバッハ・ビーテ病は常染色体潜性であるため、疾患の保因者であっても症状が現れないことがある。この病気は1番染色体の1q21に位置する細胞外マトリックスタンパク質1(ECM1)遺伝子の機能喪失型突然変異によって引き起こされる[12]。皮膚に関する症状は主に真皮におけるヒアリンの分泌や皮膚の基底膜の肥厚が要因となる[9]。診断は特に瞼周辺の丘疹といった臨床症状によってなされる。ECM1遺伝子内の突然変異が発見されたことで、最初の臨床診断を遺伝子診断で確認できるようになった。また、PAS染色や免疫組織化学染色(IHC)も診断に使用されることがある[4][13]。
現在この疾患に対する根本的な治療法は確立されていないが、各々の症状を対処することは可能である[2]。原因がECM1遺伝子内の突然変異だと判明したことで、遺伝子治療やECM1遺伝子の再結合などの可能性が拓けてきたが、どちらも実現には至っていない。
症状と兆候
ウルバッハ・ビーテ病はおおまかに神経系と皮膚に関する症状に分類される[14][15]。
皮膚
症状は罹患者によって、また同じ家族内であっても大きく異なるが、一般的に症状は乳幼児期に始まり、皮膚や粘膜の肥厚などが挙げられる[2]。初期の症状は声帯の肥厚によるかすれ声であることが多く、これはこの疾患において最も顕著な臨床症状のひとつである[9]。皮膚にも病斑や瘢痕ができ、通常は顔面や手足に現れることが多い[4]。自然治癒力が低下し、加齢とともに瘢痕が増え続ける。皮膚は軽い外傷や怪我で簡単に損傷し、水ぶくれや傷跡を残すことがある[10]。また、通常、皮膚は非常に乾燥し、しわしわになる。白色または黄色の浸潤が口唇、頬粘膜、扁桃、口蓋垂、舌小帯に形成される[4]。その結果、上気道感染症上気道感染症を引き起こし、症状を緩和するために気管切開が必要になることもある[9]。舌小帯が肥厚しすぎると、舌の動きが制限され、言語障害を引き起こす可能性がある[16]。眼瞼周囲の丘疹の播種は非常に一般的な症状であり、しばしば本疾患の診断の一部として用いられる。その他の皮膚症状としては、脱毛、耳下腺炎やその他の歯の異常、角膜潰瘍、黄斑の局所変性などが見られるが、あまり一般的ではない[17]。Although symptoms can vary greatly between affected individuals, even those within the same family, symptoms normally begin in infancy and are typically a result of thickening skin and mucous membranes. The first symptom is often a weak cry or a hoarse voice due to a thickening of the vocal cords. The hoarse voice can be one of the most striking clinical manifestations of the disease. Lesions and scars also appear on the skin, usually the face and the distal parts of the limbs. This is often the result of poor wound healing and the scarring continues to increase as the patient ages, leaving the skin with a waxy appearance. Skin may be easily damaged as a result of only a minor trauma or injury, leaving many blisters and additional scars. The skin is also usually very dry and wrinkly. White or yellow infiltrates form on the lips, buccal mucosa, tonsils, uvula, epiglottis and frenulum of the tongue. This can lead to upper respiratory tract infection and sometimes requires tracheostomy to relieve the symptom. Too much thickening of the frenulum can restrict tongue movement and may result in speech impediments. Beading of the papules around the eyelids is a very common symptom and is often used as part of a diagnosis of the disease. Some other dermatological symptoms that are sometimes seen but less common include hair loss, parotitis and other dental abnormalities, corneal ulceration, and focal degeneration of the macula.
神経系
Although the dermatological changes are the most obvious symptoms of Urbach–Wiethe disease, many patients also have neurological symptoms. About 50–75% of the diagnosed cases of Urbach–Wiethe disease also show bilateral symmetrical calcifications on the medial temporal lobes.[18] These calcifications often affect the amygdala and the periamygdaloid gyri.[11] The amygdala is thought to be involved in processing biologically relevant stimuli and in emotional long-term memory, particularly those associated with fear, and both PET and MRI scans have shown a correlation between amygdala activation and episodic memory for strongly emotional stimuli.[14] Therefore, Urbach–Wiethe disease patients with calcifications and lesions in these regions may suffer impairments in these systems. These calcifications are the result of a buildup of calcium deposits in the blood vessels within this brain region. Over time, these vessels harden and the tissue they are a part of dies, causing lesions. The amount of calcification is often related to disease duration.[10] The true prevalence of these calcifications is difficult to accurately state as not all patients undergo brain imaging. Some patients also exhibit epilepsy and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Epilepsy symptoms could begin with light anxiety attacks and can be controlled with anti-epileptic medications.[10] Other patients present with symptoms similar to schizophrenia while some suffer from mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.[16][19]
原因
Researchers have mapped Urbach–Wiethe disease to chromosome 1 at 1q21 and specifically identified the extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) gene as the gene containing mutations that can lead to the development of the condition.[12] At this point, 41 different mutations within ECM1 have been reported to lead to Urbach–Wiethe disease.[13] These were all homozygous loss-of-function mutations (i.e. nonsense, frameshift or internal deletions).[9] It is an autosomal recessive condition,[2][13] requiring two mutated copies of the ECM1 gene to cause the disease.[20]
ECM1 codes for a glycoprotein of previously unknown origin. The discovery that the loss of ECM1 expression leads to the symptoms associated with Urbach–Wiethe disease suggests that ECM1 may contribute to skin adhesion, epidermal differentiation, and wound healing and scarring.[12] It is also thought to play a role in endochondral bone formation, tumor biology, endothelial cell proliferation and blood vessel formation.[9]
The dermatological symptoms are caused by a buildup of a hyaline material in the dermis and the thickening of the basement membranes in the skin.[9] The nature of this material is unknown, but researchers have suggested that it may be a glycoprotein, a glycolipid, an acid mucopolysaccharide, altered collagen or elastic tissue.[4]
Diagnosis
Urbach–Wiethe disease is typically diagnosed by its clinical dermatological manifestations, particularly the beaded papules on the eyelids. Doctors can also test the hyaline material with a periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, as the material colors strongly for this stain.[4]
Immunohistochemical skin labeling for antibodies for the ECM1 protein as labeling has been shown to be reduced in the skin of those affected by Urbach–Wiethe disease.[13] Staining with anti-type IV collagen antibodies or anti-type VII collagen antibodies reveals bright, thick bands at the dermoepidermal junction.[9]
Non-contrast CT scans can image calcifications, but this is not typically used as a means of diagnosing the disease. This is partly due to the fact that not all Urbach-Wiethe patients exhibit calcifications, but also because similar lesions can be formed from other diseases such as herpes simplex and encephalitis. The discovery of mutations within the ECM1 gene has allowed the use of genetic testing to confirm initial clinical diagnoses of Urbach–Wiethe disease. It also allows doctors to better distinguish between Urbach–Wiethe disease and other similar diseases not caused by mutations in ECM1.[要出典]
治療
Currently, there is no cure for Urbach–Wiethe disease although there are some ways to individually treat many of its symptoms. There has been some success with oral dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and intralesional heparin, but this is not true in all cases.[9][19] D-penicillamine has also shown promise, but has yet to have been used extensively.[13] There are also some reports of patients being treated with etretinate, a drug typically prescribed to treat psoriasis.[17] In some cases, calcifications in the brain can lead to abnormal electrical activity among neurons. Some patients are given anti-seizure medication to help deal with these abnormalities. Tracheostomy is often used to relieve upper respiratory tract infections. Carbon dioxide laser surgery of thickened vocal cords and beaded eyelid papules have improved these symptoms for patients.[9] The discovery of the mutations of the ECM1 gene has opened the possibility of gene therapy or a recombinant EMC1 protein for Urbach–Wiethe disease treatment, but neither of these two options are currently available.[要出典]
Prognosis
Urbach–Wiethe disease is typically not a life-threatening condition.[2] The life expectancy of these patients is normal as long as the potential side effects of thickening mucosa, such as respiratory obstruction, are properly addressed.[10] Although this may require a tracheostomy or carbon dioxide laser surgery, such steps can help ensure that individuals with Urbach–Wiethe disease are able to live a full life. Oral dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been shown to reduce skin lesions, helping to minimize discomfort for these individuals.[9]
Incidence
Urbach–Wiethe disease is very rare; there are fewer than 300 reported cases in medical literature.[2] Although Urbach–Wiethe disease can be found worldwide, almost a quarter of reported diagnoses are in South Africa.[2] Many of these are in patients of Dutch, German, and Khoisan ancestry.[2][12] This high frequency is thought to be due to the founder effect.[13] Due to its recessive genetic cause and the ability to be a carrier of the disease without symptoms, Urbach–Wiethe disease often runs in families. In some regions of South Africa, up to one in 12 individuals may be carriers of the disease.[9] Most of the case studies involving Urbach–Wiethe disease patients involve only one to three cases and these cases are often in the same family. Due to its low incidence, it is difficult to find a large enough number of cases to adequately study the disease.[要出典]
歴史
In 1908, what appears to be the first case of Urbach–Wiethe disease was reported by Friedrich Siebenmann, a professor of otolaryngology in Basel, Switzerland. In 1925, Friedrich Miescher, a Swiss dermatologist, reported on three similar patients.[4] An official report of Urbach–Wiethe disease was first described in 1929 by a Viennese dermatologist and otorhinolaryngologist, Urbach and Wiethe.[12] Its original name of 'lipoidosis cutis et mucosae' was changed to 'lipoid proteinosis cutis et mucosae' due to Urbach's belief that the condition was due to abnormal lipid and protein deposits within the tissues.[12] Some have debated as to whether or not the disease is actually a form of mucopolysaccharidosis, amyloidosis, or even porphyria. The discovery of the Urbach–Wiethe disease causing mutation to the ECM1 gene has now provided a definitive way to differentiate Urbach–Wiethe disease from these other conditions.[9]
