  1. BHS training course 2017 Other rare red blood cells disorders Béatrice GULBIS, M.D., PhD 1

  2. BHS training course 2017 Objectives of the training course • Rare red blood cells disorders: Inherited, haemolytic (anaemia) – Inheritance and epidemiology – Clinical diagnostics aspects – Useful diagnostic tests, algorithms – Therapeutics 2

  3. Rare or very rare anaemias • About 90 rare types of anaemia have been described • Among them ± 80% are inherited • www.enerca.org • www.orpha.net 3

  4. Rare or very rare anaemias • Haemoglobinopathies (Unstable haemoglobin variant) • Red blood cells membrane defects • Red blood cells enzymes defects • Rare iron metabolism related anaemia • Aplastic anaemia • Acquired haemolytic anaemia and erythropoietic defects 4

  5. Rare or very rare anaemias • Prevalence – How much of condition at a certain period of time • Incidence – Rate of occurrence of new cases in a specified period 5

  6. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Epidemiology • Few international (European) registries (CDA) • Estimated incidence: C ongenital D yserythropoietic H ereditary A naemia(CDA) S pherocytosis (HS) /10 6 live births 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 100 1000 Rare RBC enzymopathies P aroxysmal N octurnal 6 H aemoglobinuria (PNH)

  7. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Epidemiology in your practice • Age of onset ? PNH Affects particularly young adults HS – CDA – RBC Enzyme disorders – Hbpathies From birth to adulthood 7

  8. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Epidemiology in your practice • Who is affected? • Influence of ethnic origin – No, but – effect of consanguinity (homogamy) 8

  9. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Epidemiology in your practice Relationship to Degree relatives Proportion genes each other in common Brothers and sisters, non-identical twins, First 50% parents and children Uncles and aunts, nephews and nieces, Second 25% grandparents and half brothers/sisters First cousins, half-uncles/aunts Third 12.5% half-nephews/nieces 9

  10. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Epidemiology in your practice • Who is affected? • Gender – No, but – Some X-linked (G6PD) 10

  11. Very rare anaemia Inheritance and epidemiology • Mode of inheritance? 11

  12. Very rare anaemias Inheritance and epidemiology Autosomal dominant inheritance Autosomal recessive inheritance 50% 25% Hereditary spherocytosis Hereditary spherocytosis And other membranopathies CDA III RBC enzymopathies (except G6PD) http://www.genetics.edu.au/ 12 CDA

  13. Very rare anaemias Inheritance and epidemiology X-linked inheritance X-linked inheritance 25% G6PD Rare cases of CDA http://www.genetics.edu.au/ 13

  14. Very rare anaemias Inheritance and epidemiology • X-linked inheritance – Random X chromosome inactivation: • a woman carrier can … Mutated 14

  15. Very rare anaemias Inheritance and epidemiology X-linked inheritance X-linked inheritance 25% This is a girl… X r X r 15 http://www.genetics.edu.au/

  16. Very rare anaemias Inheritance and epidemiology • Hardy-Weinberg law – two alleles 16

  17. Very rare anaemia Inheritance and epidemiology • Examples – Haemophilia A: • Affected males: q= 1/10,000 >>> affected females q²= 1/100.10 6 – G6PD deficiency • Affected males: q= 1/50 >>> affected females q²= 1/2500 17

  18. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) Inheritance • Selection (advantage) • Mutation rate – G6PD deficiency as a life long haemolytic anaemia is rare • Modulator genes – Spectrin alpha Low Expression Prague • … 18

  19. BHS training course 2017 Rare haemolytic (anaemias) • Not only during childhood • If X-linked inheritance, not only boys • If autosomal recessive inheritance, importance of consanguinity (homogamy) 19

  20. BHS training course 2017 Objectives of the training course • Rare red blood cells disorders: Inherited, haemolytic (anaemia) – Inheritance and epidemiology – Clinical diagnostics aspects – Useful diagnostic tests, algorithms – Therapeutics 20

  21. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) In your practice • Only signs and symptoms of anaemia? 21

  22. BHS training course 2017 Clinical diagnostics aspects Extravascular haemolysis +++ Chronic haemolytic (anaemia) of variable severity and/or Splenomegaly and/or Jaundice and/or Biliary lithiasis 22

  23. Clinical diagnostics aspects Extravascular haemolysis +++ Signs and symptoms depend on the degree of decompensation of anaemia – Variable age at diagnosis, but • HS ± 65% with neonatal icterus • Each “stress” on the RBCs = decompensated anaemia – Birth – Infection (i.e. Parvovirus B19) – Pregnancy 23

  24. Rare haemolytic (anaemias) • Only signs and symptoms related to red blood cell pathology? – Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemias 24

  25. Rare chronic haemolytic (anaemias) RBC enzymopathies Acetylcholinesterase Lactate dehydrogenase Monophosphoglycerate mutase Adenosine deaminase Multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase Adenylate kinase NADPH diaphorase Aldolase (ALD) Phosphofructokinase (PFK) Bisphosphoglycerate mutase Nucleoside phosphorylase Catalase Phosphoglucomutase NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase Enolase Galactokinase 6-Phosphogluconolactonase Galactose-4-epimerase Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK)  -Glutamylcysteine synthetase Phosphoglycolate phosphatase Glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) Phosphomannose isomerase Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase Pyrimidine- 5’ -nucleotidase Gluthathione peroxidase Pyruvate kinase Gluthathione reductase Ribosephosphate isomerase Glutathione synthetase Superoxide dismutase Glutathione- S -transferase Transaldolase Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase Transketolase Hexokinase Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) In bold= involved in haemolysis

Non-haematological manifestations Neuromuscular disease – TPI , GPI  deficiency Myopathy (myoglobinuria) – PFK , PGK,  ALD deficiency Impaired granulocyte function – TPI, GPI  deficiency Mental retardation – ALD, PGK deficiency  Rhabdomyolysis – ALD deficiency  Psychomotor retardation – ALD deficiency  Cardiomyopathy – TPI deficiency  Increased susceptibility to infection – TPI  deficiency ....  Van Wijk and van Solinge, Blood 2005

  27. BHS training course 2017 Rare haemolytic (anaemias) • First signs, symptoms: splenomegaly, jaundice, biliary lithiasis • Episode of haemolytic « crisis » (i.e. infection) • Not only haemolysis i.e. TPI deficiency, CDA I 27

  28. BHS training course 2017 Objectives of the training course • Rare red blood cells disorders: Inherited, haemolytic (anaemia) – Inheritance and epidemiology – Clinical diagnostics aspects – Useful diagnostic tests, algorithms – Therapeutics 28

  29. Haemolytic (anaemia) Algorithm Inherited or Erythropoiesis? Haemolysis? RBC indices Immunomediated? Acquired? Reticulocytes (IRF) WBC and Unconj. Bili. platelet counts? Haptoglobin LDH MCV MCH MCHC Coombs (DAT) test Family? Personal history? 29

  30. BHS training course 2017 First Level Laboratory Testing  General markers of haemolysis • ↑ Unconjugated bilirubin • ↑ Reticulocytes (absolute values) or unrelated with  level of Hb • ↓ Haptoglobin  Exclusion of acquired anaemias • Negative DAT Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia • Negative CD55 PNH • Negative CD59 30

  32. BHS training course 2017 RBC enzymopathies A red blood cell enzyme disorder should be assumed in cases of persistent normocytic haemolytic anaemia in which hemoglobin abnormalities and antiglobulin reactions have been excluded, spherocytes are absent, and osmotic fragility is normal RBC Enzyme activity DNA analysis 32
