abstract

objective(s):sulfur mustard (sm) was used by the iraqi army against the iranian troops in the iran-iraq war from 1983–1988. this chemical gas affects different organs including the skin, lungs and the hematopoietic system. any exposure to sm increases the risk of chromosomal breaking, hyperdiploidy and hypodiploidy. studies have shown that the risk for acute myeloblastic and lymphoblastic leukemia increases in veterans exposed to sm. flt3 mutations including itd and tkd mutations had been observed in some cases of leukemia. therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of flt3-tkd835 mutations in the veterans exposed to sm agent. materials and methods: we studied 42 patients who were exposed to sm during the war in khorasan razavi province, mashhad, iran in 2012. as control group, 30 healthy males were selected from first-degree relatives of the patients. for assessment of tkd835 mutation, dna was extracted and rflp-pcr was performed. results: analysis of rflp-pcr data showed no flt-3 tkd mutation in any of the patients. conclusion: although contact with sm can increase the risk of malignancy especially hematologic neoplasms, results of the study show that another mechanism of leukemogenesis, other than flt3-tkd mutation, may be the reason for increased risk of leukemia in sm toxicity.

Effect of Sulfur Mustard Toxicity on FLT3-ITD Gene Mutation in Sulfur Mustard Veterans

Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical blistering warfare that affects different organs especially hematopoietic system. Prevalence of acute myeloblastic and lymphoblastic leukemia is increased by sulfur mustard exposure. FLT3-ITD mutation can be effective on leukemogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the frequency of FLT3-ITD mutation in the patients who exposed to S...

Evaluation of JAK2 (V617F) Mutation in Iranian Veterans with Delayed Complications of Sulphur Mustard Poisoning

Background: Sulfur mustard was the most widely applied chemical warfare agent by the Iraqi army in Iran–Iraq war (1983-1988). Considering the role of sulfur mustard toxicity in hematopoietic neoplasms and also new role of JAK2 mutation in these neoplasms, we assessed this mutation and delayed hematologic complications in veterans exposed to sulfur mustard. Methods: This case control st...

Long-term complications of sulfur mustard poisoning: retinal electrophysiological assessment in 40 severely intoxicated Iranian veterans

BACKGROUND The eye is one of the most sensitive organs to sulfur mustard (SM) [C4H8Cl2S], and preliminary symptoms of exposure usually become evident in the eyes. In this study we aim to evaluate the possible long-term retinal electrophysiologic complications of SM poisoning in Iranian veterans during Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). METHODS In a cross-sectional study forty Iranian veterans who wer...
