Sickle cell disease: an inherited thrombophilia.

ABSTRACT: Activation of the hemostatic system occurs in patients with sickle cell disease. The extent to which this activation contributes to sickle cell pathophysiology is uncertain. Clinical trials of anticoagulants or platelet inhibitors have demonstrated the ability to decrease biomarkers of hemostatic activation, but this has generally not resulted in improvement in clinically relevant outcomes. Venous thromboembolism (VTE: deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) has been until recently an underappreciated complication of sickle cell disease, with incident event and recurrence rates consistent with a strong thrombophilia. There is no strong evidence that management should differ than for other patients with VTE, with the possible exception that secondary prophylaxis be extended regardless of provocation, given the persistent strong thrombophilic state.

Maternal inherited thrombophilia and pregnancy outcomes.

Project description:Thrombophilia is a group of genetical disorders that cause blood to clot abnormally. Thrombophilia is linked to recurrent pregnancy loss, foetal growth restriction, late miscarriages, stillbirth and preeclampsia. Clinicians usually apply the term thrombophilia only to patients with atypical thrombosis. A successful outcome of pregnancy requires an efficient uteroplacental circulation. Since this system may be compromised by disorders associated with a prothrombotic state, it was postulated that maternal thrombophilia might be a risk factor for preeclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation. The study included 459 pregnant women with gestational ages ranging from 14 weeks to 28 weeks and the patients in the study were tested for hereditary thrombophilia. The type of thrombophilic mutation most common found was the MTHFR mutation (25.7%), followed by the prothrombin gene mutation (20.9%) and the Leiden factor V mutation (15.7%). Also 15.03% patients had been diagnosed with preeclampsia and 6.75% of the pregnant women had IUGR fetuses.

Inherited thrombophilia is significantly associated with severe preeclampsia.

Project description:Methods to prevent the development of pathologies due to placental dysfunctions, such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, are the main approaches for obtaining the best maternal and fetal antepartum and postpartum prognosis. During 5 years of study (January, 2015 to December, 2019), the cases of pregnancy and puerperium complicated with pathology due to placental dysfunction were analyzed. The main objective was to determine the magnitude of the impact of thrombophilia on the development of an entity of gestational hypertension disorder. We compared the impact of thrombophilia and its associated complications in patients with gestational hypertension with moderate and severe preeclampsia. Thus, we found obesity, thrombophilia, and underlying cardiac pathology to be significant risk factors for severe preeclampsia. Regarding the comparative analysis of the risk factors and complications associated with patients with mild preeclampsia compared with those with severe preeclampsia, the presence in severe preeclampsia of thrombophilia, endocrine, liver, and cardiac pathology was higher and, a higher rate of complications was observed; complications included fetal death, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), prematurity, fetal arrhythmia with acute fetal distress, HELLP syndrome, and placental abruption. Thrombophilia has a significant effect on the development of severe preeclampsia, and oligohydramnios as specific complication of mild preeclampsia. Factors indicating an increased risk of progression from mild preeclampsia to severe preeclampsia are in addition to inherited thrombophilia the underlying pathologies, namely cardiac, hepatic, and endocrine factors.

Investigation of the relationship between inherited thrombophilia and novel coronavirus pneumonia

Project description:Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between severe novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and hypercoagulable conditions that predispose patients to thrombosis such as the prothrombin gene (F2) rs1799963 (G20210A), factor V Leiden (F5) rs6025 (G1691A) and PAI-1 (rs1799768). Patients: NCP-diagnosed 62 previously healthy patients were enrolled for the investigation of the thrombophilia-related polymorphisms. Materials & methods: The frequency of genotypes were compared with healthy control group frequencies from other studies. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the severe patient group and the healthy population regarding the investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Conclusion: This study is the first to rule out the relationship of rs1799963, rs6025 and rs1799768 with severe NCP.

The Contribution of Inherited Thrombophilia to Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer Patients.

Project description:Although the relationship between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and cancer has been a subject of study, knowledge of the contribution of thrombophilia to thrombosis in patients with cancer is still very limited. The aim of this article is to collect present knowledge on the contribution of inherited thrombophilia to VTE in cancer patients. We performed a search in Google Scholar and PubMed and selected 21 from 76 returned articles. Then we made a narrative review of the selected articles. We describe 11 studies on the contribution of inherited thrombophilia to VTE in cancer patients in general and 10 on that contribution in specific types of cancer: 1 in colorectal cancer, 4 in breast cancer, 1 in gynecologic cancer and 4 in hematopoietic malignancies. All studies investigate the relation of factor V Leiden (FVL) to VTE, 13 that of the prothrombin G20210A mutation (PTG20210A) and 7 studies also investigate other inherited thrombophilias, such methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutations, although only 2 investigate the contribution of deficiencies of the natural anticoagulants. Studies are very heterogeneous, in design and sample size and conclusions differ considerably. There is no consensus on the contribution of inherited thrombophilia to VTE in cancer patients except for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. Probably, that contribution is not the same for all types of cancer and more studies are needed to bring more knowledge on this subject.

Sickle cell disease in children.

Project description:Early identification of infants with sickle cell disease (SCD) by newborn screening, now universal in all 50 states in the US, has improved survival, mainly by preventing overwhelming sepsis with the early use of prophylactic penicillin. Routine transcranial Doppler screening with the institution of chronic transfusion decreases the risk of stroke from 10% to 1% in paediatric SCD patients. Hydroxyurea decreases the number and frequency of painful crises, acute chest syndromes and number of blood transfusions in children with SCD. Genetic research continues to be driven toward the prevention and ultimate cure of SCD before adulthood. This review focuses on clinical manifestations and therapeutic strategies for paediatric SCD as well as the evolving topic of gene-focused prevention and therapy.

The nephropathy of sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease.

Project description:Sickle cell syndromes, including sickle cell disease (SCD) and sickle cell trait, are associated with multiple kidney abnormalities. Young patients with SCD have elevated effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rates, which decrease to normal ranges in young adulthood and subnormal levels with advancing age. The pathophysiology of SCD-related nephropathy is multifactorial - oxidative stress, hyperfiltration and glomerular hypertension are all contributing factors. Albuminuria, which is an early clinical manifestation of glomerular damage, is common in individuals with SCD. Kidney function declines more rapidly in individuals with SCD than in those with sickle cell trait or in healthy individuals. Multiple genetic modifiers, including APOL1, HMOX1, HBA1 and HBA2 variants are also implicated in the development and progression of SCD-related nephropathy. Chronic kidney disease and rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate are associated with increased mortality in adults with SCD. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are the standard of care treatment for albuminuria in SCD, despite a lack of controlled studies demonstrating their long-term efficacy. Multiple studies of novel therapeutic agents are ongoing, and patients with SCD and kidney failure should be evaluated for kidney transplantation. Given the high prevalence and severe consequences of kidney disease, additional studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiology, natural history and treatment of SCD-related nephropathy.

Association Between Inherited Thrombophilia in Pregnancy and Micronucleus Frequency in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes.

Project description:The aim of this study was to determine possible predictors of an increased frequency of micronucleus (MN) and the impact of thrombophilia on the chromosomal instability in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of pregnant women in their first trimester. This study was designed as a case-control study on 74 pregnant women. It was performed in the gestational age of 11 to 14 weeks, when blood samples were collected and incubated for 72 hours. The individual MN frequency in PBL was measured by cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. Women were grouped in control group [≤4 MN/1000 binucleated (BN) cells] and case group (>4 MN/1000 BN cells). Potential mutagenic effects of exogenous/endogenous factors in pregnant women were analyzed. By analyzing the given results, it can be concluded that pregnant women with thrombophilia have 26.69-times more chance of having a frequency of >4 MN/1000 BN than pregnant women with no thrombophilia. Our research was primarily aimed at showing that the presence of thrombophilia was a statistically important predictor of an increased MN frequency in pregnant women and it can predict about one-third of the total variance in MN frequency in the studied population.

Sickle cell disease biochip: a functional red blood cell adhesion assay for monitoring sickle cell disease.

Project description:Sickle cell disease (SCD) afflicts millions of people worldwide and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Chronic and acute vaso-occlusion are the clinical hallmarks of SCD and can result in pain crisis, widespread organ damage, and early movtality. Even though the molecular underpinnings of SCD were identified more than 60 years ago, there are no molecular or biophysical markers of disease severity that are feasibly measured in the clinic. Abnormal cellular adhesion to vascular endothelium is at the root of vaso-occlusion. However, cellular adhesion is not currently evaluated clinically. Here, we present a clinically applicable microfluidic device (SCD biochip) that allows serial quantitative evaluation of red blood cell (RBC) adhesion to endothelium-associated protein-immobilized microchannels, in a closed and preprocessing-free system. With the SCD biochip, we have analyzed blood samples from more than 100 subjects and have shown associations between the measured RBC adhesion to endothelium-associated proteins (fibronectin and laminin) and individual RBC characteristics, including hemoglobin content, fetal hemoglobin concentration, plasma lactate dehydrogenase level, and reticulocyte count. The SCD biochip is a functional adhesion assay, reflecting quantitative evaluation of RBC adhesion, which could be used at baseline, during crises, relative to various long-term complications, and before and after therapeutic interventions.
