ABSTRACT

The history of hemophilia is ancient, with descriptions dated to the 2nd century AD. The first modern narratives appeared in 1800s, when total blood transfusion was the only available treatment and life expectancy was remarkably low. Advances occurred with the use of plasma and cryoprecipitate, but only the discovered of factor concentrates revolutionized the treatment. The implantation of prophylaxis allowed hemophilic patients to prevent bleeding and the development of chronic arthropathy, although with a significant burdensome with the regular infusions. In the past 20 years, this field has witnessed major improvements, including the development of gene therapy and other pharmacological approaches.

ABSTRACT

La prevalencia de la hemofilia esporádica fue estimada hace más de 40 años y se demostró que aproximadamente un tercio de los casos son de novo. La mayoría de las mutaciones que ocurren en la hemofilia se producen durante la espermatogénesis masculina; en otros casos, los cambios ocurren en los estadios tempranos de desarrollo del embrión o una mutación germinal en la madre. El proceso de inactivación del cromosoma X es al azar. Extensos estudios han evidenciado que son más frecuentes las mutaciones en las meiosis masculinas que en las femeninas, con una proporción global de 3,5/1, especialmente las inversiones de los intrones 22 y 1. Se revisaron aspectos moleculares y bioquímicos de los factores VIII y IX. Destacamos la importancia del dominio B del factor VIII que contribuye a múltiples funciones esenciales, como el control de la calidad de la síntesis, la secreción, la unión con los fosfolípidos plaquetarios, la inactivación y el aclaramiento de la molécula completa


The sporadic hemophilia prevalence was estimated more than 40 years ago and it was shown that approximately a third of the cases are novo. Most of the mutations that occur in hemophilia are produced during the male spermatogenesis; in other cases, they occur in early stages of the embrión development or in the mother a germinal mutation. The X-cromosoma- inactivation process is at random. Extended studies have shown that male meiosis are more frequent than female ones, with a global proportion of 3,5/1, specially introns inversions 22 and 1. There were revised molecular and biochemical aspects of factors VIII and IX. We ruled out the importance of B domain in factor VIII, which contributes to multiple essential functions, as the quality control of synthesis, secretion, union with platelet phospholipids, inactivation and complete clearance of the molecule

ABSTRACT

La hemofilia es un trastorno hemorrágico con disminución o ausencia de la actividad procoagulante del factor VIII o del IX. Las primeras descripciones de esta enfermedad son tan antiguas como la propia humanidad. A lo largo de los años, la hemofilia ha sido nombrada enfermedad real debido a que la padecieron diversos miembros de las familias reales europeas. En la actualidad, mediante estudios moleculares, se encontró el defecto genético causante de la enfermedad en los varones hemofílicos de la familia de la Reina Victoria y se encontró que sus descendientes padecieron una hemofilia B severa. El fenotipo de esta enfermedad es hemorrágico; se observan sangramientos en diversos sitios de la economía condicionados fundamentalmente por los niveles del factor deficiente. Existen otros factores que intervienen en las características fenotípicas variables de estos pacientes, entre ellos: las características intrínsecas de los factores VIII/IX, la presencia de genes modificadores y factores ambientales que influyen sobre la severidad de la enfermedad. Se revisa la correlación genotipo-fenotipo en esta enfermedad mediante las mutaciones más frecuentes en cada tipo de hemofilia. En cuanto a la presencia de los inhibidores, se destacan las evidencias actuales en relación con los factores de riesgo relacionados con su aparición y los aspectos moleculares presentes en la variante de hemofilia B Leyden


Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disorder characterized by decreasing or absence of the procoagulant activity in factor VIII or IX. First descriptions of this disease are as old as mankind itself. During time, hemophilia has been called royal disease since different members of European royal families suffered from it. Currently, by molecular studies, it was found the causing genetic defect of this disease in hemophilic male members of Queen Victoria´s family; and it was found that her descendants suffered a severe hemophilia B. This disease phenotype is hemorrhagic; bleeding in different sites is observed which are mainly conditioned by the levels of the deficient factor. There are other factors participating in the variable phenotype characteristic of these patients, such as: intrinsic characteristics of factors VIII/IX, the presence of modifying genes and environment factors which influence on this disease severity. It is revised here the correlation genotype-phenotype in this disease through the most frequent mutations in each type of hemophilia. Concerning the presence of inhibitors, it is highlighted the current evidences in relation with risk factors related to its emergence and molecular aspects present in hemophilia variant B Leyden
