Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Presenting with JMML-Like Blood Picture and Normal Sized Platelets

چکیده
Objective. The aim of this paper is to report the case of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) that presented with unusual laboratory features. Clinical Presentation and Intervention. Male neonate admitted with symptoms related to thrombocytopenia, whose initial diagnosis was considered as neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and JMML (juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia) but subsequently diagnosis was confirmed as WAS. Conclusion. This case shows that a suspicion of WAS is warranted in the setting of neonatal thrombocytopenia with JMML-like blood picture and normal sized platelets.

Wiskott-Aldrich is an X-lined recessive disorder typically characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and recurrent infections. We report the four year treatment progress of a six year old boy who initially presented with vesicular lesions over the trunk, upper and lower extremities and face and blood tinged stools at the age of 2 weeks. From the family pedigree, there were two suspected cases t...

Introduction: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and recurrent infections. The disease is usually associated with small defective platelets. Case Presentation: We described an 18-month-old boy who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding, eczema, and recurrent infections. There was pancytopenia with normal-sized plat...

Mutations of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) underlie the severe thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. WASP, a specific blood cell protein, and its close homologue, the broadly distributed N-WASP, function in dynamic actin polymerization processes. Here it is demonstrated that N-WASP is expressed along with WASP, albeit at low levels, in human blood cell...

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterised by microthrombocytopenia, complex immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and haematologic malignancies. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding WAS protein (WASP), a regulator of actin cytoskeleton and chromatin structure in various blood cell lineages. The molecular mechanisms underlying microthrombocytopenia caused...

The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked (Xpll.22) recessive immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by susceptibility to opportunistic and pyogenic infections, thrombocytopenia, and eczema. Previous studies of obligate carriers of WAS documented that nonrandom inactivation of the X chromosome carrying the defective gene is observed in all peripheral blood cells. The existence of b...
