Successful treatment of fetal hemolytic disease due to glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency (GPI) using repeated intrauterine transfusions: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemolytic anemia due to GPI deficiency can be severe and life threatening during fetal life. When parents decline invasive testing, ultrasound monitoring of fetuses at risk is feasible. Intrauterine transfusion can be effective for the treatment of severe fetal anemia due to GPI deficiency.

Molecular analysis of glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency associated with hereditary hemolytic anemia.
We report here two new cases of glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) deficiency associated with hemolytic anemia and present the results of molecular analysis of the five Japanese GPI variants. A Japanese girl (GPI Fukuoka) had an episode of prolonged neonatal jaundice and at 3 years of age was admitted due to acute hemolytic crisis occurring with upper respiratory tract infection. Red blood cell ...

Homozygous intragenic deletion of type I hexokinase gene causes lethal hemolytic anemia of the affected fetus The type I hexokinase (HK-I) deficiency is a rare red cell enzymopathy associated with hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. To date, only 16 affected families have been reported. 1 We report here prenatal diagnosis and molecular analysis of a Japanese family of HK deficiency. The...

G LUCOSE-PHOSPHATE ISOMERASE (GPI) controls the equilibrium between glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F-6-P). Though G?I does not seem to have a rate-limiting function in red cell glycolysis,’ deficiencies of this enzyme cause hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia.2 Twelve cases from nine different families have been reported suffering from hemolytic anemia caused by G?...

The first two mutations causing hereditary glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) deficiency associated with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia in nonhuman mammals are described in the mouse. As in humans, the hemolytic syndrome, which is characterized by a diminished erythrocyte number, lower hematocrit, lower hemoglobin, higher number of reticulocytes and plasma bilirubin concentration, as ...

Sixty-six children with G6PD deficiency were evaluated retrospectively to ascertain the clinical features, etiology, ultimate outcome and population at risk, The occurrence of jaundice in 18 neonates (group J) was, contrary to other countries, in the form of neonatal jaundice type II. Sepsis, prematurity, hypoxia and acidosis were associating factors. 77.8% of neonates had exchange blood t...
