Alfa 1 Antitripsin Eksikliği Olan Çocukların Karaciğer Tutulumları ve Genetik Özellikleri

Abstract






Amaç: Alfa-1 antitripsin eksikliği (A1ATE), çocuklarda en sık görülen genetik karaciğer hastalığıdır. Çalışmamızda karaciğer disfonksiyonu bulguları ile başvuran ve A1ATE tanısı alan olguların klinik, laboratuvar ve histopatolojik bulguları incelenerek hastalığın karaciğer tutulumunun değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.


Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çocuk Gastroenteroloji kliniğinde A1ATE tanısı ile izlenen 18 yaş altındaki çocukların demografik, klinik, laboratuvar, histopatolojik bulguları ve A1ATE genotipleri geriye dönük taranmıştır. Hastalar homozigot ZZ alleline sahip olanlar (grup 1) ve diğer genotiplere sahip olanlar (grup 2) olarak ikiye ayrılarak değerlendirilmiştir.


Bulgular: Haziran 1998-Haziran 2018 yılları arasında A1ATE tanısı alan 20 çocuktan; 18’ine fenotipik inceleme yapılmış olup, 7’si homozigot ZZ (%35), 7’si MZ (%35), biri MS, biri MMalton, biri Mduarte, biri I allellerine sahiptir. Grup 1’de serum A1AT düzeyinin grup 2’ye göre daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur (p=0,016). Diğer klinik ve laboratuvar bulgularına bakıldığında iki grup arasında istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. İzlemde hastalardan ikisine son dönem karaciğer hastalığı nedeni ile karaciğer nakli yapılmıştır. Karaciğer nakli yapılan bir hasta MZ genotipine sahiptir, diğer hastaya genotiplendirme yapılamamıştır. 


Sonuç: A1ATE çocuklarda karaciğer hastalığının önemli bir nedeni olsa da, bu mutasyonu taşıyan hastaların az bir kısmında ilerleyici karaciğer hastalığı gelişmektedir.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
