White Blood Cell Disorders Flashcards
Chediak Higashi Syndrome
CHS1 (LYST) gene mutation
Lysosome defect in WBCs and other cells (platelets, neurons, etc.)
Very large inclusions
Poor phagocytosis
Related to albinism
MYH9 Related Disorders
May Hegglin (and Sebastion, fletcher,epstein… now all included)
Large Platelets, thrombocytopenia, hearing loss, cataracts, glomerulonephritis
Dohle bodies (endoplasmic reticulum, RNA)
NORMAL FUNCTION
Alder Reilly Anomaly
no lysosomes to break down mucopolysaccharides. (Hurler’s, Hunters)
Dense Metachromatic granules
in all WBCs
PAS+
Autosomal Recessive
NORMAL NEUTROPHILS
Can get some of these in MDS, but would not be all the cells
Pelger-Huet anomaly
Bi-lobed nucleus neutrophils
neutrophils NORMAL
No clinical significance
Autosomal dominant, with laminin B receptor mutation
AML 15:17 translocation
15 : 17 Translocation
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Severe DIC association
Creates fusion protein: PML-RAR alpha blocks maturation beyond promyelocyte
Therapy: Al-trans retenoic acid
Die in 90% cases if not treated. 90% survive with treatment
BI-lobed nucleus
variants:
hyper granular - can have auer rods
micro granular -granules too small my light microscopy (may have auer rods too)
CD13, 33, 117 (typically lack blast markers 34 and DR)
CD2 in micro granular
AML 8:21
good prognosis
core binding factor brings core binding factor to eto
associated with M2
CD19, PAX5, CD56
may have less than 20% blasts but still counts
AML Inversion 16
good prognosis
core bind factor beta with smooth muscle myosin heavy chain
AML M4 (myelomonocytic with eosinophils)
increase eosinophils (may have basophil granules too)
AML 9:11
mixed lineage
monocytes differentiation
seen with trisomy 8
most commonly in kids
AML 6:9
dec and muc214
basophilia
multilineage dysplasia
pancytopenia
FLT3
poor prognosis
AML Inversion 3
increase bone marrow megakaryocytles hyperlobated
poor prognosis
AML 1:22
m7
organomegaly
hepatosplenomegaly
associated with down syndrome
transient abnormal myelopoiesis early in life (does not progress)
ALL 4:11
negative for CD10
coexpressions of myeloid antigens
ALL hyper diploid or 12:21
children
25% of kids with ALL
good prognosis
ALL 9:22
adults (25%)
philadelphia chromosome
poor prognosis
T cell ALL :
mutations in T cell receptors
notch1 activating in 50% of pediatric cases - good prognosis
CML 9:22
philadelphia chromosome
JAK2 activation
tyrosine kinase that intracellular mediates intracellular signaling
ErythroPoietin, Thrombopoietin
polycythemia vera (90%) and others around 50% (ET, PMF)
usually V617F mutation, but a few are exon12 or exon13
not a prognostic marker
CD56
Natural Killer Cells
CD3+ , CD4-, CD8-
Gamma/Delta T cells
CD 117
highly specific for myeloid leukemias
Myeloblasts
typically positive for MPO, CD13, CD33, and CD117
Hairy Cell Leukemia
Strong CD20+, CD25+, annexing A1 +
bone marrow fibrosis common
monocytosis common
usually no adenopathy
spleen, peripheral blood, bone marrow, and the liver
The phenotype of HCL is CD20 +, CD25 +, CD103 +, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) +
Follicular Lymphoma
BCL2 rearrangement, CD10 +
t14:18
Burkets Lymphoma
MYC rearrangment
