A review of filamin A mutations and associated interstitial lung disease
2019
The filamin A gene (FLNA) on Xq28 encodes the filamin A protein. Mutation in FLNA causes a wide spectrum of disease including skeletal dysplasia, neuronal migration abnormality, cardiovascular malformation, intellectual disability and intestinal obstruction. Recently, childhood-onset interstitial lung disease associated with a range of FLNA mutations has been recognised and reported. We document our personal experience of this emerging disorder and compile a comprehensive overview of clinical features and molecular changes in all identifiable published cases. Reviewing the emerging dataset, we underline this unanticipated phenotypic consequence of pathogenic FLNA mutation-associated pulmonary disease.
