40 Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (CAMT)

41 CAMT A bone marrow failure syndrome presents with isolated thrombocytopenia in the neonatal period Autosomal recessive inheritance Petechiae and other bleeding symptoms Compound heterozygous/homozygous Mutation in the TPO receptor c-mpl gene Matthias B and Manuela G. Semin Thromb Hemost 2011.

42 c-mpl Gene Cellular myeloproliferative leukemia Proto-oncogene on chromosome 1 Consist of 12 exons Ihara K, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1999.

43 c-mpl Gene Express on the hematopoietic stem cells, megakaryocytes and platelets 90% reduction of megakaryocytic precursor cells 60-80% decrease of both erythroid and myeloid progenitors Mutations impair c-mpl function Not only thrombocytopenia but also result in the development of trilineage bone marrow failure c-mpl bound by thrombopoietin (TPO) Megakaryocyte development Geddis AE. Int J Lab Hematol 2013.

44 Zhang B and Zehnder JL. Blood 2016.

45 Dasouki M, et al. Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther 2015.

46 Diagnosis of CAMT Bone marrow study Plasma TPO levels Analysis of the c-mpl gene

47 Bone Marrow Study If a bone marrow study is performed early Mild-to-moderate paucity of megakaryocytes Reduction or absence of megakaryocytes in an otherwise normocellular marrow If a bone marrow study is performed late Pancytopenia Severe depletion of megakaryocytes and hypocellularity in BMA Decreased progenitors in all lineages difficult to distinguish from aplastic anemia Stoddart MT, et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2013.

48 Plasma TPO Level TPO is produced by the liver and removed from the circulation by receptor-mediated uptake and destruction. When megakaryocyte and platelet production are low, plasma TPO levels rise. In CAMT, the megakaryocytes and platelets do not express functional c-mpl, plasma TPO levels are very high. In thrombocytopenia is due to platelet destruction such as TPO levels are normal or only modestly elevated. Stoddart MT, et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2013.

49 Types of CAMT Type I Complete loss of functional c-mpl Nonsense mutation: premature stop codon or frame shift Eliminate receptor signaling through ablation of all or most of the intracellular domain Median platelet count 21,000 /mm 3 Onset of bone marrow failure Early onset: < 2 years old Type II Some residual functional c-mpl Missense and splicing mutations Residual receptor function Transient increases of platelet counts up to nearly normal values Median platelet count 35, ,000/mm 3 Onset of bone marrow failure 3-6 years old The most common location for mutations is within exons 2 and 3, encoding the first cytokine receptor homology domain

50 c.235_236del [p.l79efs*] of MPL gene Report of compound heterozygous mutation Frameshift in exon 3 resulting in premature polypeptide termination and a lack of cell surface expression of the receptor The second mutation (c.393+5g>c) disrupts a conserved exon 3- intron 3 splice donor site causing diminished MPL expression Keel SB, et al. Haematologica 2016.

51 MDS type Keel SB, et al. Haematologica 2016.

52 Management Supportive management: transfusion of blood components Curative treatment: HSC transplantation (matched sibling donor) Future curative treatment: gene therapy Nathan and Oski s hematology and oncology of infancy and childhood 8 th ed, 2015.

53 Thank You for Your Attention

54 Thrombocytopenia

55 Pathophysiologic classification Increase platelet destruction - Normal or increased megakaryocytes in the marrow Decreased platelet production - Deficient thrombopoiesis - Decreased or absent megakaryocytes in the marrow Disorder of platelet distribution and pooling - Hypersplenism - Hypothermia Pseudothrombocytopenia

56

57 Suspect hereditary thrombocytopenia Familial history of thrombocytopenia Lack of platelet response to autoimmune thrombocytopenia therapies. Diagnostic features on smear abnormal size platelets, absence of platelet alpha granules, Dohle-like bodies or microcytosis Bleeding out of proportion to the platelet count. Onset at birth. Associated features absent radii, mental retardation, renal failure, high tone hearing loss, cataracts or the development of leukemia. Persistence of a stable level of thrombocytopenia for years.
