Non-Malignant Leukocyte Disorder, Flashcards
A rare X-linked disease, caused by a mutation (400) in the WAS gene resulting to a decreased level of WASp protein
wiskott-aldrich syndrome
wiskott-aldrich syndrome is characterized by mutation in
WAS gene
it is important in cytoskeletal remodeling and nuclear transcription in hematopoietic stem cells
WASp protein
medication therapy for thrombocytopenia in wiskott-aldrich syndrome
eltrombopag
romiplostim
It includes DiGeorge Syndrome
22q11 deletion syndrome
they have variable immunodeficiency because of the absence and decreased size of thymus and low number of T-lymphocytes
22q11 deletion syndrome
it is classified as an antibody deficiency
Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Deficiency
characterized by reduction in all serum immunoglobulin isotypes and profoundly decreased or absent of B-cells
Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Deficiency
It is important for B-cell development, differentiation, and signaling
Bruton Tyrosine Kinase
No BTK results to
hypogammaglobulinemia
it is associated with a mutation in the CHS1 LYST gene
chediak-higashi syndrome
CHS1 LYST gene is found on chromosome
1q42.1-2
it encodes for a protein that regulates the morphology/structure and function of lysosome-related organelles
CHS1 LYST gene
Chediak-Higashi syndrome is associated with what abnormalities
structural and functional abnormality
triad seen in chediak higashi syndrome
recurrent infection
photophobia
oculocutaneous albinism
what is morphology seen in chediak higashi syndrome
large lysosomal granules
pseudo CHS is seen in
acute myeloid leukemia
chronic myeloid leukemia
myelodysplastic syndrome
what is increase in right shift
mature neutrophils
what is increase in left shift
immature neutrophils
what is the marker for hematopoietic stem cell
