Abstract
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) develops as a result of damage to the endothelium of microvasculature vessels by Shiga toxin produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS). STEC-HUS remains the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children aged 6 months to 5 years. The pathomorphological essence of the disease is the development of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). One of the key causes of TMA is an imbalance in the ADAMTS13-von Willebrand factor (vWF)-platelet system. The goal of the work was to clarify the role of a moderate decrease in ADAMTS13 activity in the pathogenesis of STEC-HUS. The activity of ADAMTS13 was determined in 138 children (4 months-14.7 years) in the acute period of STEC-HUS and the features of the course of the disease in these patients were analyzed. The study revealed a decrease in the activity and concentration of ADAMTS13 in 79.8% and 90.6% of patients, respectively. Measurements of von Willebrand factor antigen content and the activity of von Willebrand factor in the blood plasma of part of these patients were carried out. In 48.6% and 34.4% of cases, there was an increase in the antigen concentration and the activity of the Willebrand factor, respectively. Thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in 97.8% of children. We have demonstrated that moderately reduced ADAMTS13 activity correlates with the risk of severe manifestations of STEC-HUS in children; the rate of developing multiple organ failure, cerebral disorders, pulmonary edema, and acute kidney injury with the need for dialysis increases. It is assumed that reduction in ADAMTS13 activity may serve as a predictor of disease severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Usher syndrome (USH) is heterogeneous in nature and requires genetic test for diagnosis and management. Mutations in USH associated genes are reported in some populations except Russians. Here, we first time represented the mutation spectrum of a Russian USH cohort. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with USH were selected from 3214 patients from Deaf-Blind Support Foundation "Con-nection" during 2014-2016 following the observational study NCT03319524. Complete ophthalmologic, ENT, and vestibular medical tests were done for clinical characterization. NGS, MLPA, and Sanger sequencing were considered for genetic analysis. RESULTS Around 53.57% and 39.28% patients had USH1 and USH2, respectively; 17.85% cases (n = 5/28) had no known mutation. Eleven (73.33%) subjects showed variations in USH1 associated genes MYO7A (72.72%), CDH23 (9.09%), PCDH15 (9.09%), and USH1C (9.09%). Eleven mutations are detected in MYO7A where 54.54% are novel. MYO7A: p.Q18* was most frequent (27.27%) mutation and is associated with early manifestation and most severe clinical picture. Two novel mutations (p.E1301* and c.158-?_318+?del) are detected in PCDH15 gene. Around 90.90% patients suspected to be USH2 are confirmed by genetic testing. Eleven mutations detected in the USH2A gene, where 27.27% were novel. Most common USH2A mutation is p.W3955* (50%) followed by p.E767fs, p.R1653*, and c.8682-9A> G (20% each). CONCLUSION The Russian USH cohort shows both novel and known USH mutations. Clinically the prevalence of USH2 is low (39.28%) and the frequency of MYO7A mutations responsible for USH1B is very high (63.63%, N = 7/11) compared to other cohorts. These seven patients carrying MYO7A mutations are preliminarily eligible for the UshStat® gene therapy.
