New mutation site of SEC23B gene in type Ⅱ congenital erythrocythememia anemia: one case report and literatures review / 中华血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To enrich the gene mutation sites and accumulate treatment experience of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type Ⅱ by reporting one case of CDA patient with new mutation site of SEC23B and was successfully treated by homozygous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .@*Methods@#The mutation within SEC23B gene in a child case with the reduced hemoglobin for more than 3 months, and his family were analyzed in combination with literatures review.@*Results@#A 3-day 5-month female child was admitted due to "decreasing hemoglobin for more than 3 months" , blood routine test showed HGB 44 g/L, positive for acid hemolysis test (Ham test) . Bone marrow showed that the proportion of erythroid line was 69%, mainly middle and late juvenile erythrocytes, binuclear and odd nucleated erythrocytes could be observed, and nuclear fragmentation and nuclear budding could be seen occasionally in nucleated erythrocytes, transmission electron microscopy disclosed that bone marrow harbored the typical double-layer membrane structure of nuclear erythrocytes. There were two unreported new mutation sites in the SEC23B gene, including 1504 G>C/wt and c. 2254-2255 insert A/wt. The two mutations were derived from the father and mother of the child respectively. At the late stage, the child was successfully treated with allo-HSCT, the original mutation turned negative.@*Conclusion@#This study reported the mutation type of SEC23B gene insertion for the first time in China. Allo-HSCT could be utilized as a treatment for CDA.
