چکیده

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare genetic disorder of unknown pathogenesis involving exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and hematological and skeletal abnormalities. About 25% of patients develop hematopoietic malignancies. We report on a case of acute myeloid leukemia (M2) in a 21-year-old woman affected by SDS. She was treated with conventional chemotherapy (idarubicin plus cytarabine) and reached complete remission of leukemia. After induction chemotherapy, she underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The BMT preparative regimen consisted of total body irratation (TBI) followed by cyclophosphamide. Cyclosporin A and short term methotrexate were used for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. After a follow-up of 12 months, she is alive leukemia free off any immunosuppressive agent. Although experience in this field is scarce, we speculate that bone marrow failure in SDS is an indication for BMT which is the only curative treatment option.

Hematologic abnormalities in Shwachman Diamond syndrome: lack of genotype-phenotype relationship.

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by short stature, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and hematologic defects. The causative SBDS gene was sequenced in 20 of 23 unrelated patients with clinical SDS. Mutations in the SBDS gene were found in 75%, being identical in 11 patients. Hematologic parameters for all 3 lineages were determined over time suc...

Chronic neutropenia in children – diagnostics, therapeutic management and prophylaxis

Chronic neutropenia (CN) is a rare disorder in children. It is defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) below 1500 cells per cubic microliter of peripheral blood, lasting for at least 6 months. It can be acquired or congenital. More frequent – acquired chronic neutropenia is mainly caused by: malnutrition, exposure to drugs, chemical compounds and viral infections. CN is the cardinal sympt...

A Case of Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Distinguished from Celiac Disease

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive disease characterized by exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, skeletal problems and varying degrees of cytopenias resulting in bone marrow dysfunction. We report the first case of SDS that was difficult to distinguish from celiac disease because this is a valuable example of the variety in SDS presentation.

Malignant myeloid transformation in congenital forms of neutropenia.

BACKGROUND Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor has had a major impact on the management of severe chronic neutropenia--a collective term referring to congenital, idiopathic, or cyclic neutropenia. Almost all patients respond to G-CSF with increased neutrophils, reduced infections, and improved survival. Some responders with congenital neutropenia (termed Kostmann's syndrome herein) and Shwach...
