Abstract

Amaç: Bernard Soulier Sendromu (BSS), bir herediter kanama bozukluğu olup, makrotrombositopeni ve uzamış kanama zamanı ile karakterizedir. BSS, trombosit yüzeyinde hasarlı damar duvarına yapışmadan sorumlu GpIb/V/IX kompleksinin yokluğu veya disfonksiyonundan kaynaklanır. Çalışmada, merkezimizde takip edilen BSS tanılı olguların klinik, laboratuvar bulguları ve mutasyon analizi değerlendirilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Meram Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Hematoloji Bilim Dalında takip edilen 7 BSS olgusu dâhil edildi. Olguların klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları hastaların tıbbi dosya kayıtlarından derlendi. Mutasyon analizi için sırasıyla DNA izolasyonu, polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ve DNA pürifikasyonu ve DNA dizi analizi yöntemleri kullanıldı. Elde edilen DNA numuneleri, GP1BA (NM_000173.4), GP1BB (NM_000407.4), ve GP9 (NM_000174.3) mutasyonları açısından incelendi. Oranların karşılaştırılmasında Fischer’in exact testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Olguların yaşları 8.5 yaş ile 29 yaş arasında değişmekteydi (ortanca 24 yaş). Olguların hepsinin cinsiyeti kızdı. Tanı alma yaşları 7 ay ile 8 yaş arasında değişiyordu (ortanca 30 ay). Hastalarda görülen kanama tipleri; epistaksis (%71), diş eti kanaması (%71), gastrointestinal kanama (%43), menoraji (%71), gastorintestinal kanama (%28), viseral kanama %14, cerrahi sonrası kanama (%5)’di. Olguların hepsinde makrotrombositopeni vardı. Trombosit fonksiyon testlerinde ADP, epinefrin ve kollajene cevapnormal, ristosetine cevap bozuktu. Akım sitometrik olarak trombosit yüzeyinde GpIb/V/IX ekspresyonu 6 olguda düşük, bir olguda ise normaldi. Genetik olarak 6 olguda GP1BB geninde [homozigot c.233T>G. p.Leu78Arg ve c.[470T>A(+)472_473del(CT)] (p.Leu157GlnfsX151)], bir olguda GP1BA geninde (homozigot c.1A>C) mutasyon saptandı. Mutasyon tipi ile klinik bulgular arasında korelasyon saptanmadı (p>0.05).Sonuç: Çalışmada BSS tanılı olguların klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları ile mutasyon analizi değerlendirilmiştir. BSS hastaları için mukokutanöz kanamalar önemli bir problem oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle adet gören kız çocuklarında transfüzyon gereksinimi ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Çalışmada, BSS’li hastalarda yeni tanımlanan mutasyonlar gösterildiği için literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır. BSS’li hastalarda klinik bulgular ile mutasyon arasındaki ilişkinin tanımlanabilmesi için daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Syndrome: A Single Center Experience Clinical and Genotypic Findings in Patients with Bernard Soulier

Abstract

Objective: The Bernard Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and prolonged bleeding time. BSS results from the dysfunction or absence of GpIb/V/IX complex, which mediates platelet adhesion to a damaged vascular wall, on the platelet surface. In this study, we evaluated the clinical and laboratory findings and mutation analysis in patients with BSS followed at our center.Material and Methods: The study included seven BSS followed at the Meram Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Hematology. Clinical and laboratory findings were obtained from the medical records of the patients. DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, DNA purification and DNA sequence analysis were used to determine mutation analysis. Obtained DNA samples investigated for GP1BA (NM_000173.4), GP1BB (NM_000407.4), and GP9 (NM_000174.3) mutations. Fischer’s exact test was used for the comparison of ratios.results: The ages of patients were varied from 8.5 years to 29 years (median 24 years). All of the patients were females. Age at diagnosis was varied from 7 months to 8 years (median 30 months). Bleeding phenotypes of the patients were as follows: epistaxis (71%), gum bleeding (71%), cutaneous bleeding (43%), menorrhagia (71%), gastrointestinal bleeding (28%), visceral bleeding (14%), and bleeding after surgery (5%). All of the patients had macrothrombocytopenia, and decreased aggregation response to ristocetin and normal response to ADP, epinephrine and collagen in platelet function tests. In flow
cytometric analysis, expression of the GpIb/V/IX complex on platelet surface was low in 6 patients and normal in one patient. Six patients
had GP1BB mutations [homozygous c.233T>G, p.Leu78Arg and c.[470T>A(+)472_473del(CT)] (p.Leu157GlnfsX151)] whereas one
patient had the GP1BB mutation (homozygous c.1A>C). There was no correlation between clinical findings and mutation types (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Clinical and laboratory findings and mutation analysis of patients with BSS were evaluated in this study. Mucocutaneous
bleeding is an important problem for patients with BSS. Girls may need a blood transfusion during menstruation. The mutations described
in this study are novel mutations. This study will contribute to the literature because of the newly identified mutations in BSS patients.
Comprehensive studies are needed to determine the relationship between clinical and genotypic findings of BSS patients.
