Title: Clinical and HSD11B2 gene analysis of a patient with apparent mineralocorticoid excess

Abstract

Objective: Here we studied the disease course and prognosis of AME through a congenital hypertension case who was diagnosed as AME after 11 years. Method Clinical information of the patient was collected and the relevant literature was reviewed.

Result: The 12-year-old female patient with a 11-year-history of hypertension and hypokalemia and a 1-month-history of poor blood pressure control was admitted to our hospital. The blood pressure of the patient was poorly controlled fluctuating between 140-180/100-110mmHg and she went to the doctor many times with fatigue and seizures. The patient was a term-infant with 1.55 kg and at present, the intelligence of the patient is normal but the physical development is retarded and fatigue is frequently presented.

Laboratory findings: Multiple blood electrolysis tests suggested hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. At supine position, the patient had angiotensin I (37°C) of 0.85ng/ml, angiotensin I (4°C) of 0.27ng/ml, plasma renin activity (PRA) of 0.58ng /ml/hr, aldosterone (ALD) of 64.01pg/ml, and aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) of 11.04, while at stand position, she had angiotensin I (37?) of 0.88ng/ml, angiotensin I (4 ?) of 0.26ng/ml, PRA of 0.62ng/ml/hr, ALD of 51.56pg/ml and ARR of 8.32. Urine aldosterone was normal with 7.07ug/day (reference : 3-15 ug/day). Genetic result revealed a homozygous mutation c.605T>C (p.V217A) in HSD11B2, the parents are both heterozygous carrier. This mutation is a novel pathogenic mutation and has not been reported.

Conclusion: We reported a Chinese infantile hypertensive AME patient with a novel homozygous mutation in HSD11B2. This also increases the genotype and phenotype profile of AME. Early genetic testing can facilitate early diagnosis, standardize treatment and avoid target organ damage.
