Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Endocrine abnormalities in myotonic dystrophy (MyD) reflect some of the multi-systemic involvement resulting from this disorder. One of these, abnormal insulin secretion, is considered to be caused by receptor dysfunction. Bone abnormalities, cataract and calcium transport defect suggest the abnormal calcium metabolism in MyD. The calcium metabolism is chiefly regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH). An interest in the similarity between MyD and pseudohypoparathyroidism, which is a disorder of PTH receptor dysfunction, encouraged the authors to evaluate renal PTH receptor function from the responses of urinary adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and phosphate excretion after administration of human PTH(1-34). The responses of cAMP were high in 3 cases, low in one case, but normal in the 4 other cases. The phosphaturic responses were elevated in 3 cases, reduced in 3 cases, and normal in 2 other cases. Since these abnormal responses closely mimic those in hypoparathyroidism, there may also be renal PTH receptor dysfunction in some cases of MyD. The results of the present study suggest another peptide hormone receptor defect, similar to insulin, which supports the hypothesis of generalised receptor dysfunction in MyD.
