RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a primary immunodefici-ency disease caused by gene defects. The onset of FHL in adolescents and adults may lead clinicians to ignore or even misdiagnose the disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to detail the clinical features of type 2 FHL (FHL2) with compound heterozygous perforin (PRF1) defects involving the c.163C>T mutation, in addition to correlation analysis and a literature review. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a 27-year-old male patient with FHL2, who was admitted with a persistent fever and pancytopenia. Through next-generation sequencing technology of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-related genes, we found compound heterozygous mutations of PRF1: c.65delC (p.Pro22Argfs*29) (frameshift mutation, paternal) and c.163C>T (p.Arg55Cys) (missense mutation, maternal). Although he did not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the patient achieved complete remission after receiving HLH-2004 treatment protocol. To date, the patient has stopped taking drugs for 15 mo, is in a stable condition, and is under follow-up observation. CONCLUSION: The delayed onset of FHL2 may be related to the PRF1 mutation type, pathogenic variation pattern, triggering factors, and the temperature sensitivity of some PRF1 mutations. For individual, the detailed reason for the delay in the onset of FHL warrants further investigation.

RESUMO

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is characterized by thrombotic and hemorrhagic events. The association of clinical characteristics of Chinese ET patients and additional sex combs like 1 (ASXL1) mutations in these patients has remained to be elucidated. In the present study, 72 newly diagnosed Chinese ET patients were enrolled to determine ASXL1 mutations. Mutations in ASXL1, Janus kinase (JAK)2, calreticulin (CALR) and myeloproliferative leukemia (MPL) genes were detected using Sanger sequencing, and data were statistically analyzed. The frequencies of ASXL1, JAK2 V617F, CALR and MPL W515 mutations in ET patients were 19.4% (14/72), 29.2% (21/72), 31.9% (23/72) and 0% (0/72), respectively. Of note, 28 ET patients (38.9%) were negative for JAK2, CALR and MPL mutations; these patients were classified as triple-negative (TN). The frequency of ASXL1 mutations in patients with JAK2 V617F, CALR and TN mutations was 23.8% (5/21), 21.7% (5/23) and 14.3% (4/28), respectively. ASXL1-mutant patients exhibited significant propensities for thrombotic events compared with the ASXL1 wild-type (wt) cohort (42.9 vs. 12.1%; P=0.021). In addition, JAK2 V617F-mutant patients had a higher mean age compared with CALR-mutant (64.76 vs. 52.96 years; P=0.008) or TN patients (64.76 vs. 51.14 years; P=0.002). Furthermore, more white blood cells in the peripheral blood (PB) were observed in JAK2 V617F-mutant patients compared with those in TN patients (12.40 vs. 8.20×109/l; P=0.02). In addition, CALR-mutant patients exhibited more platelets (PLT) in PB than JAK2 V617F-mutant patients (787.91 vs. 562.17×109/l; P=0.047). TN patients had a significantly lower incidence of clinical symptoms, including dizziness, palpitation and chest congestion compared with CALR- or JAK2 V617F-mutant patients (14.1 vs. 39.1%; P=0.043 and 14.1 vs. 38.1%; P=0.050). No significant difference in progression-free survival was observed between ASXL1-mutant and ASXL1-wt patients (P=0.590). In conclusion, ASXL1-mutant ET patients are prone to experiencing thrombotic events. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of thrombotic events among CARL-mutant, JAK2 V617F-mutant and TN patients. Furthermore, ASXL1-mutant/TN patients exhibited a higher number of PLT than ASXL1/JAK2 V617F-double mutant patients. Therefore, ASXL1 mutations may be a risk factor for the occurrence of thrombotic events in ET patients.
