Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD, MIM 242900) is an autosomal-recessive pleiotropic disorder with the diagnostic features of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, renal dysfunction and T-cell immunodeficiency. Using genome-wide linkage mapping and a positional candidate approach, we determined that mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF2-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1), are responsible for SIOD. Through analysis of data from persons with SIOD in 26 unrelated families, we observed that affected individuals from 13 of 23 families with severe disease had two alleles with nonsense, frameshift or splicing mutations, whereas affected individuals from 3 of 3 families with milder disease had a missense mutation on each allele. These observations indicate that some missense mutations allow retention of partial SMARCAL1 function and thus cause milder disease.

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, nephrotic syndrome, and cell-mediated immunodeficiency. Mutations in the SMARCAL1 gene (SW1/SNF2-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like1) cause SIOD. We report a patient with SIOD and SMARCAL1 mutations, who presented with fever of unknown origin secondary to B-cell lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an SIOD patient with a primary lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD).

A 10-year-old Turkish boy with consanguineous parents was presented with a disproportionately short stature and a nephrotic syndrome. The mild form of Schimke's immuno-osseous dysplasia was diagnosed as the common cause. This rare, autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia is characterised by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism, T-cell immunodeficiency and progressive renal failure due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In Schimke's immuno-osseous dysplasia, a severe early-onset form and a milder later-onset form can be distinguished on the basis of the clinical course. The patient was treated by fluid and salt restriction, enalapril and later also losartan, which led to a decrease in the proteinuria and an increase in serum albumin concentration. Two years later, the renal function was still normal.

Autosomal-recessive Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) characterized by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), T-cell immunodeficiency and facial dysmorphism is caused by defects in the SMARCAL1 gene. The gene product is involved in the transcriptional regulation of other genes. A 12-year-old boy of consanginous Turkish descent developed disproportionate short stature from spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia at the age of 6 and nephrotic syndrome at the age of 10 years. Renal biopsy revealed FSGS, the kidney function was normal, T-lymphocytes were diminished without infectious complications, and he has had no cerebral ischemia. Analysis of the patient's SMARCAL1 gene revealed a novel homozygous C1798T transition leading to a R561C substitution. The parents and two healthy sisters were found to be heterozygous. A younger brother, who is also homozygous for the mutation, is clinically asymptomatic and has no proteinuria at the age of 18 months. Still, his CD4 cells are diminished. For SMARCAL1 mutations a clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been reported: severe SIOD with in utero or early-childhood onset leading to end-stage renal disease within a few years is caused by nonsense, frame shift or splice mutations. Many patients die from infections and cerebrovascular insults during childhood. Mild SIOD manifests later and progresses more slowly without infectious or cerebral vascular complications--the underlying defect being missense mutations in all three patients reported so far. The novel R561C missense mutation in our patient with mild SIOD is additional evidence for the genotype-phenotype correlation reported for SMARCAL1 mutations.

Primary immune deficiencies (PIDs) are characterized by functional and/or quantitative abnormalities of one or more immune system components. Several bone and joint abnormalities can occur in patients with PID, with arthritis being the most common. Joint manifestations, of which arthritis is the most common, occur chiefly in humoral PIDs (agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency, hyper-IgM syndromes, and IgA deficiency) and occasionally in other PIDs (chronic granulomatous disease and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome). Monoarthritis or oligoarthritis is the usual pattern, although polyarthritis may occur, occasionally with nodules suggesting rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis in patients with PID is usually infectious in nature, the most common causative organism being Mycoplasma, followed by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Haemophilus. These bacteria can induce not only synovial infections, but also aseptic arthritogenic inflammatory responses. Arthritis having no demonstrable relation to chronic infection has been reported also and ascribed to dysimmunity-driven mechanisms that exhibit a number of specific features. Bone lesions are far less common and usually due to infections complicating humoral PID. Distinctive bone manifestations occur in a number of rare PIDs (e.g., hyper-IgE syndrome and Di George syndrome) and in syndromes characterized by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. Familiarity with PID syndromes both enhances the diagnostic capabilities of physicians and provides insight into the pathophysiology of bone and joint abnormalities associated with immune dysfunction. In children and occasionally in adults, a combination of bone and/or joint manifestations and hypogammaglobulinemia may indicate PID. When there is no evidence of lymphoproliferative disease, infection, or iatrogenic complications, investigations for PID should be obtained. PID-related arthritis is a unique model for studying the pathogenesis of presumably postinfectious arthritis and of inflammatory joint diseases including rheumatoid arthritis.

SIOD is a multisystem disorder caused by a mutant chromatin remodelling protein. The main clinical findings are spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia with disproportionate growth restriction, defective cellular immunity, and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome secondary to biopsy proven FSGS leading to ESRF. Concerning ESRF, kidney transplantation is the therapy of choice since FSGS does not recur in the graft. However, with respect to the underlying immune disorder and the increased susceptibility to life threatening infections, the question of the optimal immunosuppressive therapy after renal transplantation remains unresolved. Under conventional immunosuppressive regimens some SIOD patients have developed severe disseminated cutaneous papilloma virus infections or EBV associated lymphoproliferative disease. We present several cases of children with SIOD (four of five had SMARCAL1 mutations) and monotherapy maintenance immunosuppression after renal transplantation and compare them with 13 patients from the SIOD registry. We have found that post-renal transplantation immunosuppressive monotherapy results in a good outcome with a reduced number of severe infections. Due to the underlying immunodeficiency in SIOD, limited immunosuppression may be possible without increasing the risk of acute or chronic rejection.

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, immunodeficiency, and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. Mutations in SWI/SNF2 related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1 (SMARCAL1) gene are responsible for the disease. The present report describes, for the first time, a Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia child with SMARCAL1 missense mutation (R561H) and manifestations of intussusception secondary to Epstein-Barr virus-negative non-Hodgkin lymphoma, who expired due to septicemia following chemotherapy. The report emphasizes the necessity of more limited immunosuppressive protocols in Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia patients with lymphoproliferative disorders.

Schimke Immunoosseous Dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of childhood with classical features of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, renal failure, and T cell immunodeficiency. SIOD has been associated with several malignancies, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and osteosarcoma. About half of SIOD patients have biallelic mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1). This gene encodes an annealing helicase and replication stress response protein that localizes to damage-stalled DNA replication forks. We report a child with SIOD and a novel S859P missense mutation in SMARCAL1 who developed undifferentiated carcinoma of the sinus.

Schimke Immunoosseous Dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of childhood characterized by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and renal failure, T-cell immunodeficiency, and cancer in certain instances. Approximately half of patients with SIOD are reported to have biallelic mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1), which encodes a DNA translocase that localizes to sites of DNA replication and repairs damaged replication forks. We present a novel mutation (NM_014140.3:c.2070+2insT) that results in defective SMARCAL1 mRNA splicing in a child with SIOD. This mutation, within the donor site of intron 12, results in the skipping of exon 12, which encodes part of a critical hinge region connecting the two lobes of the ATPase domain. This mutation was not recognized as deleterious by diagnostic SMARCAL1 sequencing, but discovered through next generation sequencing and found to result in absent SMARCAL1 expression in patient-derived lymphoblasts. The splicing defect caused by this mutation supports the concept of exon definition. Furthermore, it illustrates the need to broaden the search for SMARCAL1 mutations in patients with SIOD lacking coding sequence variants.

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare inherited disease characterized by steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, and T-cell immunodeficiency. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most frequent renal pathological finding associated with proteinuria in SIOD. In this case report, we describe a 4.5-year-old boy who presented with nephrotic syndrome and ventricular septal defect followed by tremor in the limbs after-cerebral infarction. It is emphasized that SIOD should be considered in children with wide range of presentation, from growth retardation, steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, and bone, cardiac, and neurological abnormalities in the late childhood or even adolescence.
