ABSTRACT

Introducción. La anemia falciforme es una enfermedad de herencia autosómica recesiva que constituye una de las alteraciones genéticas más frecuentes del noroeste de Europa. Las complicaciones secundarias en los pacientes homocigotos son frecuentes durante los primeros 3 años de vida, y debido a ello, desde el 12 de julio de 2017, se ha incluido dicha patología dentro de las enfermedades objetivo de cribado neonatal de Castilla y León (CyL). Con tal fin, se pretende detectar aquellos pacientes que se beneficiarán de un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz. Objetivos. Calcular la incidencia de hemoglobinopatía S, C, D, E u otra cadena de hemoglobina anómala en todo recién nacido vivo en CyL desde el inicio del programa de cribado hasta el 12 deoctubre de 2018 (15 meses), determinando en los distintos pacientes el sexo, lugar de origen del padre y la madre, hospital de nacimiento y fenotipo encontrado. Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo de los pacientes con cribado neonatal de hemoglobinopatías patológico nacidos en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León, del 12 de julio de 2017 al 12 de octubre de 2018. La muestra de sangre se obtuvo de la prueba del talón realizada en las maternidades de forma sistemática, a partir de las 48 horas de vida del niño. Se analizó por cromatografía líquida de alta resolución (Bio-Rad VARIANTnbs System) en Laboratorio de Referencia de Valladolid, detectándose fenotipos S, C, D, E o asociados a cualquier otra cadena de hemoglobina anómala sin tipificar. Resultados. Se incluyeron en el estudio 18.998 recién nacidos durante ese periodo, con un total de 18.975 muestras analizadas (99,8%). Se detectaron un total de 94 muestras positivas, con 1 resultado coincidente con fenotipo FS (1/18.975), 61 para fenotipo FAS (1/311), 14 FAC (1/1.355), 2 FAD (1/9.487), 1 FC (1/18.975), 11 FAX (1/1.725), y 4 FAXX (1/4.743) (AU)


Introduction. Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease that constitutes one of the most frequent genetic alterations in the Northeast of Europe. The second ary complications in the homozygous patients are frequent during the first three years of life, and due to it, this condition has been included within the diseases targeted for neonatal screening of Castilla y Leon (CyL) since 12 July 2017. With that in mind, it is aimed to detect those patients who would benefit from and early diagnosis and treatment. Objectives. To calculate the incidence of hemoglobin diseases S, C, D, E or other abnormal hemoglobin chain, in all live newborn in CyL from the onset of the screening program until 12 October 2018 (15 months), determining gender, place of origin of the father and mother, hospital where born and phenotype found in the different patients. Material and methods. A retrospective and descriptive study of the patients with neonatal screening for pathological hemoglobin disease in the Regional Community of Castilla y León, from 17 July 2017 to 12 October 2018. The blood sample was obtained from the heel test conducted in the maternity wards systematically, beginning at 48 hours of life of the child. It was analyzed during rapid resolution liquid chromatography (Bio-Rad VARIANTnbs System) in the Reference laboratory of Valladolid, detecting the S, C, D, E or phenotypes or those associated to any other non-typified abnormal hemoglobin chain. Results. A total of 18,998 newborns were enrolled in the study during this period, with a total of 18,975 samples analyzed (99.8%). A total of 94 positive samples were detected, with 1 result coinciding with FS phenotype (1/18,975), 61 for FAS phenotype (1/311), 14 FAC (1/1,355), 2 FAD (1/9,487), 1 FC (1/18,975), 11 FAX (1/1,725), and 4 FAXX (1/4,743). No screening was conducted in 23 newborns out of all the children, due to death in the first hours or transfer prior to 48 hours of life (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Molecular testing of Inherited bleeding coagulation disorders (IBCDs) not only offers confirmation of diagnosis but also aids in genetic counselling, prenatal diagnosis and in certain cases genotype-phenotype correlations are important for predicting the clinical course of the disease and to allow tailor-made follow-up of individuals. Until recently, genotyping has been mainly performed by Sanger sequencing, a technique known to be time consuming and expensive. Currently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers a new potential approach that enables the simultaneous investigation of multiple genes at manageable cost. AIM: The aim of this study was to design and to analyse the applicability of a 23-gene NGS panel in the molecular diagnosis of patients with IBCDs. METHODS: A custom target enrichment library was designed to capture 31 genes known to be associated with IBCDs. Probes were generated for 296 targets to cover 86.3 kb regions (all exons and flanking regions) of these genes. Twenty patients with an IBCDs phenotype were studied using NGS technology. RESULTS: In all patients, our NGS approach detected causative mutations. Twenty-one pathogenic variants were found; while most of them were missense (18), three deletions were also identified. Six novel mutations affecting F8, FGA, F11, F10 and VWF genes, and 15 previously reported variants were detected. NGS and Sanger sequencing were 100% concordant. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that this approach could be an accurate, reproducible and reliable tool in the rapid genetic diagnosis of IBCDs.

ABSTRACT

La anemia ferropénica es el trastorno hematológico más frecuente en la infancia. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar el estado actual para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de este trastorno. Pese a la variedad de pruebas de laboratorio que nos aportan información en el diagnóstico, este sigue basándose en dos pilares fundamentales: hemoglobina y ferritina, pero en los últimos años han aparecido otros parámetros que pueden aportar información valiosa en los casos de diagnóstico complicado. El tratamiento oral con hierro es eficaz, seguro y barato; pero debe aplicarse de forma correcta. En el caso de mala respuesta deben contemplarse varias posibilidades y puede ser necesario ampliar el estudio diagnóstico con el fin de excluir patologías subyacentes. En los últimos años la prevalencia de la anemia ferropénica ha disminuido en los países desarrollados, gracias en parte a las estrategias de prevención que se están llevando a cabo (AU)


Iron deficiency anemia is the most common blood disorder in children. This article has aimed to review the current state for the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. In spite of the variety of laboratory test that provide us information on the diagnosis, this is still based on two fundamental cornerstones: hemoglobin and ferritin. However, in recent years other parameters that may provide valuable information in the cases having a complicated diagnosis have appeared. Oral treatment with iron is effective, safe and inexpensive, but should be applied correctly. When the response is poor, several possibilities need to be referred and it may be necessary to expand the diagnostic study in rder to exclude underlying pathologies. In recent years, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia has decreased in developed countries. This is partially due to the prevention strategies that are being carried out (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: The concept insulin resistance as the basis for a series of metabolic alterations and diseases was introduced by Gerald Reaven in 1988, when he described a cluster of alterations that named syndrome X. Aim: To review and discuss the present information about insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MS). Material and methods: The IR concept is defined,the affected metabolic ways, its consequences and relationship with different diseases are presented. The importance of central obesity with its metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic consequences playing a key role in cardiovascular risk, is discussed. The cluster of factors focused on cardiovascular disease and eventually diabetes is named MS. Several definitions of MS are analyzed and compared. A proposition is made about the definition to be used in the Chilean population. Differences between IR syndrome and MS are discussed. Diagnostic methods of IR and MS are presented, recommendations are made about their usefulness and reliability. Non pharmacological and pharmacological treatments of IR and MS are analyzed. Other related diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, non alcoholic steatohepatitis and sleep apnea are discussed. Conclusions. Until further studies are made to define a local waist circumference cut-off associated with high risk, the ATPIII MS definition is preferred. A clinical approach is recommended for diagnosis. A search for all components of the MS is important. There is no evidence about the benefits of MS treatment on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. Evidence supports the use of lifestyle changes and some drugs, such as metformin on the prevention of diabetes in prediabetic states.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a false negative diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in an African girl. Two HIV-1 DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were negative at the second and fourth months of life. Because anti-HIV antibodies persisted when the patient was 18 months old, the HIV-1 RNA PCR test was performed with a positive result, confirming HIV-1 non-B subtype, recombinant A-G. The prevalence of non-B HIV-1 subtypes are increasing in Spain, which could be related to the phenomenon of immigration. Approximately one-third of HIV-infected foreigners have non-B subtypes and the percentage increases to 70 % of the African population in Spain. In non-B HIV-1 subtypes, false negative results and inconsistencies between viral load and CD4 count are more frequent. These subtypes also show a higher rate of resistance to protease inhibitors, which can have therapeutic implications.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un caso de falso negativo en el diagnóstico de infección por virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1) en una niña de origen africano. Las pruebas de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) de ADN proviral realizadas a los 2 y 4 meses de vida fueron negativas. A los 18 meses, por persistencia de los anticuerpos anti-VIH-1, se realizó una PCR de ARN que resultó positiva, confirmándose la infección por VIH-1, subtipo no B, forma recombinante A-G. La prevalencia de los subtipos no B está en aumento en nuestro medio en relación con el fenómeno de la inmigración, ya que un tercio de los extranjeros infectados lo están por subtipos no B y asciende al 70 % de los pacientes africanos. En estos subtipos son más frecuentes los resultados falsos negativos y las discrepancias entre la carga viral y el recuento de linfocitos CD4. Los subtipos no B muestran una mayor tasa de resistencias a los inhibidores de la proteasa, lo que puede tener implicaciones terapéutica

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La enfermedad celíaca (EC) es unaenteropatía autoinmune sensible al gluten, de carácterpermanente que se da en individuos genéticamentepredispuestos. Se ha observado una mayor prevalenciaen los niños con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1).Se estima que, aproximadamente, del 7% al 16% delos niños con DM1 desarrolla enfermedad celíaca enlos primeros 6 años después del diagnóstico.El modo de presentación es variable. La mayoríade casos de EC en diabéticos son formas clínicasatípicas y, con frecuencia, latentes (mucosa intestinalnormal o con mínimos cambios con autoanticuerpospositivos).Caso: Se presenta un caso de EC latente en unapaciente con DM1 que evolucionó hacia una ECasintomática aunque con enteropatía severa de lasvellosidades intestinales, en la adolescencia.Se trata de una adolescente de 12 años con diagnósticode DM1 a la edad de 6 años y medio y anticuerposantitransglutaminasa ligeramente elevados,sin datos clínicos ni histológicos de EC. En el estudiogenético se objetivó un genotipo HLA con asociaciónmoderada a EC, por lo que se decidió seguimientode los niveles de anticuerpos. La pacientepermaneció asintomática salvo un retraso puberalleve y a los 16 años aumentaron los anticuerpos,por lo que se realizó biopsia intestinal que reveló lesiónvellositaria severa. A partir de ese momento, seinició tratamiento con dieta exenta de gluten.Conclusiones: La mayoría de estudios afirmanque la EC puede debutar hasta 9 años después delinicio de la diabetes, desafortunadamente esto puedeocurrir en la adolescencia, momento en el que la enfermedadcelíaca suele ser quiescente. El caso presentadoes un ejemplo de que no hay que olvidar estaentidad en los adolescentes diabéticos de larga evolución.Se debería realizar una determinación periódicade autoanticuerpos en todos los pacientes con DM1


Introduction: Coeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmunepermanent gluten enteropathy that occurs ingenetically susceptible individuals. It has been observeda major prevalence in children with diabetesmellitus type 1 (DM1). Approximately, from 7% to16% of children with DM1 has CD in the first 6 yearsafter the diagnosis. Clinical presentation of the diseaseis variable. Most cases in diabetic children areatypical and latent forms (normal or minimal histologicalchanges with positive autoantibodies).Case: We present a case of latent CD in a patientwith DM1 that became asymptomatic CD with intestinalvillous atrophy in the adolescence.A 12 years old adolescent, diagnosed of DM1 at 6and a half years old, presents high antitransglutaminaselevels without clinical nor histological signs ofCD. Genetic study revealed HLA with moderate associationwith CD and we followed antibody levels.The patient kept asymptomatic except for a delayedpuberty. At 16 years old, antibodies increased andbiopsy showed intestinal villous atrophy. The patientstarted a gluten free diet.Conclusions: Most studies show that CD canstart until 9 years after the beginning of the diabetes.Unfortunately, that can occur at the adolescence,when CD is often silent. The presented case showsthat we must not forget this disease in diabetic adolescents.Periodical determination of autoantibodiesshould be made in diabetic patients

ABSTRACT

Background: Islet cell-specific autoantibodies such as islet cell antibody (ICA), antiinsulin (IAA), anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and anti-tyrosine phosphatase (IA2) can be present in patients with type I diabetes. Breast feeding duration and the early exposure to milk substitutes are environmental factors associated to etiology of type 1 diabetes. Aim To study the frequency of the anti-GAD, anti-IA-2 e ICA antibodies in Chilean type 1 diabetic patients and determine the possible modulator effect of the breast feeding. Patients and methods: One hundred thirty four type I diabetic patients, aged one to 15 years old, were studied at the moment of their diagnosis. Patients were classified according to the duration of exclusive breast feeding. IA-2 and GAD were determined by radio immuno assay and ICA by means of indirect immunofluorescence. Results: Subjects with three months or less and those with more than three months of breast feeding were positive for ICA in 78.8 and 90.6 per cent of cases respectively, for GAD in 75 and 54.6 per cent of cases respectively (p=0.024) and for IA-2 in 73 and 43.8 per cent of cases respectively (p=0.001). All three antibodies were positive in 53.9 and 21.8 per cent of children with less or more than three months of breast feeding (p=0.001). Conclusion: Both IA-2 and GAD antibodies are less frequently positive in type 1 diabetic patients who have been breast fed for more than three months. These findings suggest a possible attenuating role of exclusive breast feeding on pancreatic aggression events in patients with type 1 diabetes

ABSTRACT

Se ha publicado que las fórmulas clásicas de alimentación enteral pueden provocar hiperglicemia. Objetivo: estudiar en diabéticos las respuestas glicémicas e insulinémicas de una fórmula enteral diseñada para estos pacientes (GLUCERNA). Material y método: el estudio se realizó en 11 diabéticos no insulino dependientes, 10 mujeres, 1 hombre, edad promedio 56,5 años, evolución 9,7 años, IMC= 27 kg/m2 (20-32), sin patologías renales, digestivas o cardiovasculares. En forma aleatoria se dio a ingerir 68 g de carbohidratos, aportados por la fórmula Glucerna o Ensure. Se midió glicemia e insulinemia, basal y post-ingesta a los 30, 60, 90 y 120 min. Dos días después se repitió la prueba con la otra fórmula. Se interrogó respecto a aceptabilidad y tolerancia de los productos. Las glicemias se determinaron por glucosaoxidasa y las insulinemias por ELISA. El análisis estadístico se hizo con Anova. Resultados: en la prueba con Glucerna, los niveles de glicemia (MA ñ DS) fueron 136ñ50, 138ñ45, 134ñ40, 143ñ49 y 146ñ55 mg/d; y los de insulinemia 19ñ10, 36ñ19, 37ñ17, 37ñ14, y 40ñ24 uU/mL. Con Ensure las glicemias fueron 117ñ28, 162ñ44, 171ñ56, 191ñ71 y 193ñ71 mg/dL; las insulinemias 21ñ11, 53ñ38, 66ñ34, 67ñ37 y 60 38 uU/mL. Para las dos variables se encontró una respuesta mayor con Ensure en toda la prueba, p<0,05 (minuto 60 y 90). Cuociente de insulinemia/glicemia con glucerna: 0,12ñ0,06, 0,20ñ0,11, 0,23ñ0,11, 0,23ñ0,08 y 0,24ñ0,17; con Ensure: 0,19ñ0,12, 0,22ñ0,09, 0,29ñ0,10, 0,27ñ0,15 y 0,22ñ0,22ñ0,10 (NS entre las fórmulas). La aceptabilidad fue buena para las dos fórmulas. Conclusión: con Glucerna se observó menor respuesta glicémica e insulinémica que con Ensure, fórmula clásica; su aceptabilidad y tolerancia fue buena, su uso sería recomendable en la asistencia nutricional de los diabéticos

ABSTRACT

La fluoxetina es un antidepresivo que actúa inhibiendo la reaceptación de serotoninas a nivel presináptico. Por este efecto, no solo se aplica en cuadros depresivos sino que tiene, también, efecto sobre la inducción de la sensación de saciedad y promueve una mejor utilización de la insulina a nivel periférico en pacientes diabéticos no insulino dependientes. Este estudio, realizado con el método doble ciego, muestra resultados alentadores de la fluoxetina en el tratamiento de la obesidad. Su administración en dosis única diaria de 40mg ha permitido obtener resultados estadísticamente significativos, tanto en la disminución del peso, como en los cambios en la conducta alimentaria, disminuyendo la ingesta principalmente en lo que respecta a los carbohidratos
