Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1 Presenting as Leukemoid Reaction
The hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. These molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Over las...
متن کاملCorrection of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II with oral fucose.
We describe a simple, noninvasive, and effective therapy for leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare inherited disorder of fucose metabolism. This disorder leads to an immunodeficiency caused by the absence of carbohydrate-based selectin ligands on the surface of neutrophils as well as to severe psychomotor and mental retardation. The fucosylation defect in LAD II fibroblasts can...
متن کاملPeriodontal Involvement in Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency: Review of the Literature and a Case Report
Objective: Leukocyte adhesion deficiency(LAD) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . LAD-I which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the CD18 gene. This mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial mi...
متن کاملLeukocyte trafficking in a mouse model for leukocyte adhesion deficiency II/congenital disorder of glycosylation IIc.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency II (LAD II), also known as congenital disorder of glycosylation IIc (CDG-IIc), is a human disease in which a defective GDP-fucose transporter (SLC35C1) causes developmental defects and an immunodeficiency that is based on the lack of fucosylated selectin ligands. Since the study of in vivo leukocyte trafficking in patients with LAD II is experimentally limited, we ...
متن کاملLeukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome: a controversy solved.
Sadly, mistakes of nature are often our greatest learning tools. Such is the case with the recent description by three independent groups of the molecular etiology of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome III.1–3 The discovery that mutations in kindlin-3 are responsible for this rare genetic disorder teaches us a great deal about how leukocytes regulate adhesion and trafficking through t...
