Finsterer J, Aliyev R. Detection of compound heterozygous variants in LPIN1 does not necessarily imply pathogenicity in a patient with rhabdomyolysis. F1000Res 2020; 9:15.

Abstract
In a recent article by Yim
et al., a 15-month-old male is described who experienced severe rhabdomyolysis with a creatine-kinase value (CKV) of 127494 U/l one day after intramuscular injection of an unidentified drug by the general practitioner. Rhabdomyolysis was not attributed to this injected drug but to compound heterozygous variants in LPIN1. The study has a number of shortcomings. Triggers of rhabdomyolysis should be unequivocally identified, a more extensive family history should be taken, and previous CKVs should be provided. Functional and biochemical tests should be carried out to confirm or exclude pathogenicity of the LPIN1 variants.

Cirer-Sastre R, Legaz-Arrese A, Corbi F, López-Laval I, Puente-Lanzarote JJ, Hernández-González V, Reverter-Masia J. Cardiac Troponin T Release after Football 7 in Healthy Children and Adults. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:E956. [PMID: 32033112 PMCID: PMC7037606 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17030956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) after a football 7 match between two cohorts of children and adult players. Thirty-six male football players (children = 24, adult = 12) played a football 7 match, and cTnT was measured before, and 3 h after exercise. Concentrations of cTnT were compared between groups and time, and correlated with participants' characteristics, as well as internal and external exercise load. Cardiac troponin T was elevated in all participants (p < 0.001), and exceeded the upper reference limit for myocardial infarction in 25 (~70%) of them. Baseline concentrations were higher in adults (p < 0.001), but the elevation of cTnT was comparable between the groups (p = 0.37). Age (p < 0.001), body mass (p = 0.001) and height (p < 0.001), and training experience (p = 0.001) were associated to baseline cTnT values, while distance (p < 0.001), mean speed (p < 0.001), and peak (p = 0.013) and mean (p = 0.016) heart rate were associated to the elevation of cTnT. The present study suggests that a football 7 match evoked elevations of cTnT during the subsequent hours in healthy players regardless of their age. However, adults might present higher resting values of cTnT than children. In addition, results suggest that the exercise-induced elevations of cTnT might be mediated by exercise load but not participant characteristics.
