Elderly-onset hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and its cytokine profile
BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disease characterized by surfactant accumulation, and is caused by disruption of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling. Abnormalities in CSF2 receptor alpha (CSF2RA) were reported to cause pediatric hereditary PAP. We report here the first case of CSF2RA-mutated, elderly-onset hereditary (h) PAP. CASE...

BACKGROUND Disruption of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signalling causes pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Rarely, genetic defects in neonatal or infant-onset PAP have been identified in CSF2RA. However, no report has clearly identified any function-associated genetic defect in CSF2RB. METHODS AND RESULTS The patient was diagnosed with PAP at the age of 36 and ...
متن کاملHereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis caused by recessive CSF2RB mutations.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a syndrome characterised by accumulation of surfactant in alveoli resulting in respiratory insufficiency [1]. Surfactant homeostasis is critical for lung function and is tightly regulated, in part, by pulmonary granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is required for surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages [2] and alveolar mac...

متن کاملPulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disease characterised by alveolar accumulation of surfactant. It may result from mutations in surfactant proteins or granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor genes, it may be secondary to toxic inhalation or haematological disorders, or it may be auto-immune, with anti-GM-CSF antibodies blocking activation of alv...
