Disorders of Leukocytes01:27

Disorders of Leukocytes

2.2K
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...

Inborn Errors of Metabolism01:20

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

1.0K
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

87
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

2.9K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.8K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

3.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Clinical Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital leukemia is a rare malignancy diagnosed at birth, accounting for less than 1% of childhood leukemias.
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in newborns presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A neonate presented with clinical signs suggestive of leukemia on the first day of life.
  • Peripheral blood smear analysis revealed a high blast count, prompting further investigation.

Findings:

  • Flow cytometry confirmed the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Karyotyping identified Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) in the leukemic cells.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis of congenital AML in neonates.
  • The presence of Trisomy 21 in congenital AML may influence prognosis and treatment strategies.
  • Further research is needed to understand the specific pathogenesis and optimal treatment for AML in neonates with chromosomal abnormalities.
