重型β-地中海贫血合并8p11骨髓增殖综合征1例并文献复习

β-Thalassemia major complicated by 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome: a case report and literature review

  • 摘要: β-地中海贫血是一种由于β-珠蛋白基因缺陷导致的溶血性贫血,重型β-地中海贫血为β0或β+突变的纯合子或双重杂合子。8p11骨髓增殖综合征(8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome,EMS)是8号染色体短臂(8p11)成纤维细胞生长因子受体1(fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,FGFR1)基因易位相关的骨髓增殖性疾病,BCR-FGFR1为其中一种特殊融合基因类型,易进展为白血病,预后差,而异基因造血干细胞移植是目前唯一有望实现长期缓解的治疗方法。本文在世界范围内首次报道1例发生于β-地中海贫血背景下的儿童EMS病例,患儿出现了由BCR-FGFR1融合基因驱动的EMS,且常规细胞遗传学分析首次揭示了一种非典型的t(8;21)(p11.2;q11.2)易位,伴有继发性del(22)(q13)缺失。尽管BCR-FGFR1融合在既往研究中已有详细描述,但此种精确的分子构型及其细胞遗传学背景尚未见报道。本例β-地中海贫血合并EMS尚无可以参考的治疗经验,因此,在结合国际主流治疗方案及临床指南后给予积极的化疗联合早期allo-HSCT,患儿病情逐渐好转。随访至移植后47个月,患儿一般情况良好。本研究的发现拓展了FGFR1驱动肿瘤的分子谱系,提供了治疗地中海贫血合并恶性血液肿瘤的临床经验,同时回顾讨论地中海贫血患者发生血液恶性肿瘤的可能机制,并强调了高分辨率基因组分析与allo-HSCT对于实现持久缓解的重要性。

     

    Abstract: β-Thalassemia is an inherited hemolytic anemia caused by defects in the β-globin gene. β-Thalassemia major results from homozygous or compound heterozygous β0 or β+ mutations. The 8p11 myeloproli-ferative syndrome(EMS) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with gene translocation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1(FGFR1) on the short arm of chromosome 8(8p11). BCR-FGFR1 represents a specific fusion gene subtype of this syndrome, which tends to progress to leukemia with a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT) is currently the only therapeutic approach expected to achieve long-term remission. This article reports, for the first time in the world, a case of pediatric EMS arising in the context of β-thalassemia major. The patient developed EMS driven by the BCR-FGFR1 fusion gene. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed, for the first time, an atypical translocation, t(8;21)(p11.2;q11.2), accompanied by a secondary deletion del(22)(q13). Although BCR-FGFR1 fusions have been well documented, this precise molecular configuration and its associated cytogenetic background have not been described to date. Given the lack of established therapeutic experience in patients with concurrent β-thalassemia major and EMS, strategies were formulated in line with mainstream international regimens and current clinical guidelines. The patient received intensive chemotherapy combined with early allo-HSCT, resulting in gradual clinical improvement. At 47 months posttransplantation, the patient remains in good general condition. The findings of this study expand the molecular spectrum of FGFR1-driven neoplasms and provide novel clinical insights into the management of thalassemia complicated with hematologic malignancies. Furthermore, we review potential mechanisms underlying the development of hematological malignancies in thalassemia major patients and underscore the pivotal role of high-resolution genomic profiling and allo-HSCT in achieving durable remission.
