Abstract
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) also known as Cranio-skeletal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder of bone metabolism. It is mainly characterized by acro-osteolysis and generalized osteoporosis. The other distinctive features include a dysmorphic face, short stature, aplasia of facial sinuses, and persistent cranial sutures. Although the condition begins to manifest since birth, the characteristic features become more prominent with age. This syndrome is usually recognized by dentists due to these craniofacial abnormalities. This case report aims to highlight a case of 6-year-old girl HCS who presented with aberrant facial features, premature exfoliation of teeth, unusual mobility of teeth and atypical root resorption in primary dentition.

Progress and Current Status in Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome with Focus on Novel Genetic Research. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911374. [PMID: 36232677 PMCID: PMC9570194 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) is a rare autosomal dominant manifestation of a congenital genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the NOTCH2 gene. NOTCH signaling has variations from NOTCH 1 to 4 and maintains homeostasis by determining and regulating the proliferation and differentiation of various cells. In HCS, the over-accumulated NOTCH2 causes abnormal bone resorption due to its continuous excessive signaling. HCS is characterized by progressive bone destruction, has complex wide-range clinical manifestations, and significantly impacts the patient’s quality of life. However, no effective treatment has been established for HCS to date. There are genetic variants of NOTCH2 that have been reported in the ClinVar database of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. In total, 26 mutant variants were detected based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMC). To date, there has been no comprehensive compilation of HCS mutations. In this review, we provide the most comprehensive list possible of HCS variants, nucleotide changes, amino acid definitions, and molecular consequences reported to date, following the ACMC guidelines.

Abstract
A case report of an 11-year-old boy with a de novo variant in NOTCH2 and clinical features characteristic of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is reported, with acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges of the feet and hands, generalized osteoporosis, musculoskeletal and craniofacial alterations, short stature, bowing of long bones, vertebral anomalies, genu recurvatum, hypertrichosis, joint and skin hyperlaxity, atopic dermatitis, megalocorneas, micrognathia and frequent respiratory infections, among others. Treatment is with bisphosphonates in the framework of bone density improvement and with focal vibration therapy for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system and gait improvement. The three generalities of this pathology-phenotypic variability, degenerative character and the presence of generalized osteoporosis and acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges-are seen in this case, whose diagnostic confirmation was made by genetic study.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:7489. [PMID: 35742738 PMCID: PMC9223558 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19127489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is a rare genetic disease. Its main features include phenotypic variability, age-dependent progression and the presence of acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges and generalized osteoporosis, which have significant disabling potential. Currently, there is no effective curative treatment, so nursing care is essential to ensure the maintenance of the quality of life of these patients. The main objective of this study was to establish a specific standardized nursing care plan using the NANDA-NIC-NOC taxonomy. The application of a care plan as such would improve the quality of life of patients affected by this rare disease, will contribute to increasing healthcare professionals' knowledge on this matter and will support future studies on this disease.

Abstract
This paper describes the case of a 54-year-old woman diagnosed with Hajdu–Cheney syndrome, who presents with characteristic craniofacial dysmorphia, short stature, premature loss of teeth, developmental skeletal disorders, fibrocystic mastopathy, bilateral hearing loss and an intermittent mild neutropenia. The patient received treatment with bisphosphonates and was awaiting evaluation for surgical arthroplasty of both hips when she suffered a motor vehicle accident, which led to a rapid progression in her disease by increasing her degree of dependence for most activities of daily living. The clinical presentation and radiologic findings seen in this case confirm the three main features of the syndrome: phenotypic variability, an age-dependent progression and the presence of generalized osteoporosis and acroosteolysis of distal phalanges. The main objective of the manuscript is to describe a new case of a patient diagnosed with Hajdu–Cheney syndrome. Due to the low prevalence of the syndrome and the small number of cases reported in the scientific literature, obtaining a complete description and a global perspective of the disease is complex.

Oral Surgery Procedures in a Patient with Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome Treated with Denosumab-A Rare Case Report. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18179099.

Abstract
Background: Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) is a very rare autosomal-dominant congenital disease associated with mutations in the NOTCH2 gene. This disorder affects the connective tissue and is characterized by severe bone resorption. Hajdu-Cheney syndrome most frequently affects the head and feet bones (acroosteolysis). Case report: We present an extremely rare case of a 34-year-old male with Hajdu-Cheney syndrome. The patient was admitted to the Department of Oral Surgery, Medical University of Gdańsk, in order to perform the extraction of three teeth. These teeth were not eligible for conservative treatment and prosthetic reconstruction. The patient was treated with denosumab (angiogenesis and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB RANK ligand inhibitor, RANKL). Discussion: Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody against RANKL. This drug works through a suppression of osteoclast activity. In cases of patients in which the pathway of the RANK/RANKL/osteoprotegerin is dysregulated, denosumab has been approved for the treatment off-label. In patients receiving denosumab, a delayed wound healing in the oral cavity and osteonecrosis may occur. Dental procedures involving the alveolar bone process (tooth extractions and bone alveoloplasty) may be a risk factor for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Spontaneous osteonecrosis is rarely observed. MRONJ consists of the destruction of exposed bone, with the exposure persisting for a minimum of 6–8 weeks. This is the first article about an HCS patient treated with denosumab who underwent invasive oral surgery procedures. This case report highlights the difficulties for professionals occurring during the oral surgery procedures in such patients.

Abstract
Hajdu–Cheney syndrome (HCS) is a rare genetic disease that causes acroosteolysis and generalized osteoporosis, accompanied by a series of developmental skeletal disorders and multiple clinical and radiological manifestations. It has an autosomal dominant inheritance, although there are several sporadic non-hereditary cases. The gene that has been associated with Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is NOTCH2. The described phenotype and clinical signs and symptoms are many, varied, and evolve over time. As few as 50 cases of this disease, for which there is currently no curative treatment, have been reported to date. The main objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the results obtained in research regarding Hajdu–Cheney Syndrome. The findings are reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and were registered on the web PROSPERO under the registration number CRD42020164377. A bibliographic search was carried out using the online databases Orphanet, PubMed, and Scielo; articles from other open access sources were also considered. Finally, 76 articles were included, and after their analysis, we have obtained a series of hypotheses as results that will support further studies on this matter.

Abstract
We present a natural history of a 32-year-old man with Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HJCYS), because of the de novo truncating mutation in the exon 34 of NOTCH2 (c.6424-6427delTCTG, p.Ser2142ArgfsX4), who has been followed up for a period of 23 years (between 9 and 32 years). During follow-up, we observed abnormalities of vision, hearing, voice, and progression of craniofacial features in the form of skeletal dysplasia with affected skull, dentition, spine, limbs, fingers, and toes. Low bone mineral density and history of fragility fractures also suggested primary osteoporosis being a clinical manifestation. According to Stengel-Rutkowski, Schimanek, and Wernheimer (1984; Human Genetics, 6, 272-295), systematic data acquisition has been used for quantitative analysis of anthropological, radiographic, and clinical features at childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood separately. A detailed phenotype description together with the results of reanalysis of 14 reports so far published on patients with HJCYS and NOTCH2 mutation showed similar phenotype evolution with age. The spectrum of observed features may improve diagnostic tools for HJCYS at different periods of the lifespan.

Abstract
Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive focal bone destruction. It is known to be an autosomal dominant disorder but there have been reports of sporadic cases as well. Although the disease manifestation is found to begin from birth, it is most often not diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood. It could be due to the rarity of the condition and the variation of the disease manifestation at different age groups. We report a case of Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome in a 26-year-old male who presented with severe periodontitis and premature loss of teeth. The other characteristic features included craniofacial dysmorphism, abnormalities of the digits and dental anomalies. Patients with craniofacial dysmorphism along with dental abnormalities should be thoroughly examined for any underlying systemic disorder. A team of specialists may be able to diagnose this condition before the disease is advanced.
