Acute promyelocytic leukemia with (bcr1, bcr2 and bcr3) transcripts in a pediatric patient.

Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) exhibit the t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.2) translocation that produces the promyelocytic leukemia ()/retinoic acid receptor α () fusion gene.

Case Report: Characterization of known (c.607G>C) and novel (c.416C>G) mutations in two Mexican families with congenital neutropenia.

The most common causes of congenital neutropenia are mutations in the (Elastase, Neutrophil Expressed) gene (19p13.3), mostly in exon 5 and the distal portion of exon 4, which result in different clinical phenotypes of neutropenia. Here, we report two pathogenic mutations in , namely, c.

Sweet Syndrome in an Adolescent Patient With Differentiation Syndrome Secondary to Promyelocytic Leukemia Treatment With All-Trans Retinoic Acid.

Sweet syndrome (SS) is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis that is histologically characterized by an infiltration of the dermis by neutrophils. A 12-year-old adolescent female patient recently diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia presented with fever and was hospitalized for antibiotic management after 22 days of being treated with a treatment protocol based on daunorubicin, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), and prophylaxis with dexamethasone, the patient developed erythematous skin lesions located mostly on the extremities. Lesions evolved into painful subcutaneous nodules, and one lesion evolved into a 2.

Complete blood count differences in a cohort of Down syndrome neonates with transient abnormal myelopoiesis screened for GATA1 pathogenic variants.

Transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) raises the risk for acute myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome (DS) (ML-DS), and both are related to GATA1 pathogenic variants. Here, we analyzed which findings on complete blood count (CBC) are associated with TAM in a cohort of neonates with DS screened for GATA1 pathogenic variants. The CBCs were compared among 70 newborns with DS, including 16 patients (22.

A translocation t(5;15)(q15;q11-13) infant case with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and literature review: prognosis implications.

Infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) represents poor prognosis despite intensive chemotherapy. Rearrangements of chromosome 11q23 are not observed in 34% of the cases. Infant ALL patients with t(5;15)(p15;q11-13) are rare and sporadic.

[Risk factors for dislypidemia in obese children and adolescents].

Objective: To assess the risk of dislypidemia associated with obesity in children and adolescents.

Material And Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted with 62 obese children (BMI > 95 centile and tricipital skinfold thickness > 90 centile) and 70 non-obese children (BMI 5-85 centile) ages 5-15 years, without chronic diseases. Subjects' characteristics and family background of chronic diseases were collected and a lipid profile was determined.
