Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) : Disease Understanding
Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) Overview
According to the National Organization for Rare Diseases, Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is an inherited disease mainly affecting the brain, immune system, and skin. The loss of white matter (leukodystrophy) and abnormal deposits of calcium (calcification) in the brain lead to early-onset severe brain dysfunction (encephalopathy) usually resulting in severe intellectual and physical disability.
There are two forms of the syndrome: a severe, early-onset form and a late-onset form with less impact on neurological function. The early-onset form affects about 20% of all Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) babies. The signs and symptoms vary widely among affected people. In mild cases, symptoms appear after the first weeks or months of normal development like the decline in head growth, weak or stiffened muscles (spasticity), and cognitive and developmental delays. However, neurological and liver abnormalities, such as liver and spleen enlargement and elevated liver enzymes are reported in severe cases.
The disease occurs due to mutations in the TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, SAMHD1, ADAR, IFIH1, and RNASEH2C genes that lead to a buildup of small pieces of DNA in the brain, which triggers the immune response. It is most frequently inherited in an autosomal recessive manner whereas, in a few instances, the disease results from specific de novo or inherited autosomal dominant pathogenic variants in ADAR or TREX1 and a variety of heterozygous autosomal dominant pathogenic variants in IFIH1. It is difficult to diagnose Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) since several symptoms appear similar to other diseases. The diagnosis is based on the clinical symptoms of the disease, as well as characteristic brain abnormalities observed in an MRI brain scan. Additionally, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is tested for increased levels of a specific immune system cell (a lymphocyte), indicating chronic lymphocytosis.
Currently, no curative therapy is available. The present treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications based on the severity of AGS. Chest physiotherapy, treatment for respiratory complications, and anticonvulsant medications manage seizures.
Despite advances in understanding the Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) pathology spectrum, a systemic cure is still not developed. Hence, there is an urgent unmet medical need to diagnose better, treat, and eradicate AGS. However, many aspects of the Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) pathogenesis have been clarified to hypothesize new therapeutic strategies. A few studies have highlighted the possible positive effects of JAK inhibitors and antiretroviral on the CNS and, therefore, on AGS.
