Unraveling a Rare Genetic Mystery: Danon Disease Clinical Case by Prof. Saule Urazalina

At the International Conference on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Science (CVS 2026), we are honored to feature Prof. Saule Urazalina from Kazakh National Medical University named after S.D. Asfendiarov, Kazakhstan, who will deliver a virtual oral presentation on a fascinating and rare medical case — Danon Disease (Clinical Case).

This unique session will shed light on a rare X-linked dominant genetic disorder, offering deep insights into its diagnosis, inheritance pattern, and clinical manifestations.


🧬 Key Highlights from the Case Presentation

Rare Disease Focus:
Danon disease, first described by Morris Danon in 1981, is characterized by a triad of cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and intellectual disability — caused by mutations in the LAMP2 gene.

Patient Profile:

·         22-year-old male with asthenic build and mild intellectual disability.

·         Chief complaints: general weakness and palpitations.

·         Maternal history of cardiac abnormalities – mother had a pacemaker implanted at age 34.

Diagnostic Findings:

·         EKG: High voltage, repolarization changes, and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome.

·         Holter monitoring: 160 supraventricular tachycardia episodes and 1,119 extrasystoles.

·         Echocardiogram & MRI: Severe left ventricular hypertrophy; LV mass index – 246 g/m².

·         Lab findings: Elevated ALT (5.8×), AST (4.8×), increased CK-MB, normal troponin.

·         Genetic testing: Mutation c.928G>A in exon 7 of the LAMP2 gene, confirming X-linked inheritance.

·         Retinal & Muscular signs: Retinal pigment changes and skeletal myopathy.

Conclusion:
The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, skeletal and retinal involvement, and LAMP2 protein deficiency confirms a clinical diagnosis of Danon Disease.
