A clinical case–control comparison of epidermal innervation density in Rett syndrome

Introduction Rett syndrome (RTT), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder occurring primarily in females (1:10–15,000 female live births), is most often caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the X‐linked methyl‐CpG‐binding protein 2 gene (MECP2). Clinical observations and preclinical findings indicate...

description Introduction Rett syndrome (RTT), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder occurring primarily in females (1:10–15,000 female live births), is most often caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the X‐linked methyl‐CpG‐binding protein 2 gene (MECP2). Clinical observations and preclinical findings indicate apparent abnormal sensory and nociceptive function. There have been no direct investigations of epidermal sensory innervation in patients with RTT. Methods We compared 3 mm epidermal punch biopsy specimens from adolescent female RTT patients (N = 4, aged 12–19 years) against an archived approximate age‐, sex‐, body‐site matched comparison sample of healthy adolescent females (N = 8, ages 11–17). Results Confocal imaging revealed, on average, statistically significant increased epidermal nerve fiber (ENF) peptidergic (co‐stained calcitonin gene‐related protein [CGRP]) innervation density compared with healthy female control individuals. Conclusions Given the clinical phenotype of disrupted sensory function along with diagnostic criteria specific to cold hands/feet and insensitivity to pain, our preliminary observations of ENF peptidergic fiber density differences warrants further investigation of the peripheral neurobiology in RTT. Epidermal skin punch biopsy specimens from four adolescent female patients with Rett syndrome (RTT) were compared against an archived approximate age‐, sex‐, body‐site matched comparison sample of healthy adolescent females. Confocal imaging revealed, on average, increased epidermal nerve fiber (ENF) peptidergic (co‐stained calcitonin gene‐related protein) innervation density compared with healthy female control individuals. Given the clinical phenotype of disrupted sensory function along with diagnostic criteria specific to cold hands/feet and insensitivity to pain, our preliminary observations of ENF peptidergic fiber density differences warrants further investigation of the peripheral neurobiology in RTT.
