Aagenaessyndrome/lymphedema cholestasis syndrome 1 is caused by a founder variant in the 5'-untranslated region of UNC45A. Lymphedema cholestasis syndrome 1 or Aagenaessyndrome is a syndrome with neonatal cholestasis, lymphedema, and giant cell hepatitis. The genetic background of this autosomal recessive disease has been unknown. 26 patients with Aagenaessyndrome and 17 parents were of the Unc-45 Myosin Chaperone A (UNC45A) was identified in all tested patients with Aagenaessyndrome. 19 were homozygous for the c.-98G>T variant and 7 were compound heterozygous for the variant in the 5'-untranslated region and an exonic loss-of-function variant in UNC45A. Patients with Aagenaessyndrome exhibited lower expression of UNC45A mRNA and protein than controls, and this was reproduced
MicroRNA in dried blood spots from patients with Aagenaessyndrome and evaluation of pre-analytical and analytical factors. Circulatory miRNAs are promising biomarkers. The feasibility of using miRNA from dried blood spots (DBS) was investigated using newborn screening cards from patients with cholestasis-lymphedema syndrome (Aagenaessyndrome) and controls. Total amount of miRNA and specific miRNAs from DBS were analyzed. miRNA was also obtained from newborn screening cards in patients with cholestasis-lymphedema syndrome/Aagenaessyndrome and in healthy newborns. No differences in miRNA concentrations were found between multispotted samples and samples with one single drop of blood and between central and peripheral punches. Ten repeated freeze-thaw cycles did not significantly change
Quality of life in adults with lymphedema cholestasis syndrome 1 LCS1 (Lymphedema Cholestasis Syndrome 1/Aagenaessyndrome) is a rare, hereditary disorder, where the highest known prevalence is in Norway. The disorder is characterized by lymphedema and periodic cholestasis from birth or the neonatal period. This study aimed to examine internal reliability of the SF-36, in addition to the group's

Evidence for genetic heterogeneity in lymphedema-cholestasis syndrome. Lymphedema-cholestasis syndrome (LCS, Aagenaessyndrome) is the only known form of hereditary lymphedema associated with cholestasis. A locus, LCS1, has recently been mapped to chromosome 15q in a Norwegian kindred. In a consanguine Serbian Romani family with a neonate who had a combination of lymphedema and cholestasis
Mapping of the Locus for Cholestasis-Lymphedema Syndrome (AagenaesSyndrome) to a 6.6-cM Interval on Chromosome 15q Patients with cholestasis-lymphedema syndrome (CLS) suffer severe neonatal cholestasis that usually lessens during early childhood and becomes episodic; they also develop chronic severe lymphedema. The genetic cause of CLS is unknown. We performed a genome screen, using DNA from
Parent-child transmission of infantile cholestasis with lymphoedema (Aagenaessyndrome). We report a mother and daughter with features of Aagenaessyndrome. Unlike most previous cases, there is no Norwegian ancestry and the pedigree favours dominant rather than recessive inheritance.
Do patients with lymphoedema cholestasis syndrome 1/Aagenaessyndrome need dietary counselling outside cholestatic episodes? Patients with lymphoedema cholestasis syndrome 1/AagenaesSyndrome need a fat reduced diet when cholestatic. We wanted to assess the need for dietary counselling outside cholestatic episodes, and hypothetized that no counselling was needed. Fifteen patients above 10 years
