Familial hairy cell leukemia: a HLA-linked disease or farmers-linked disease?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the 16 cases of familial HCL published, different HLA have been found. Although specific HLA antigens were found to have the same structure in some cases that suggests a genetic predisposition to HCL. Environmental factors, specifically farming labours, were implicated in too. We add two cases (father and son, both farmers), Their HLA haplotype has not been described, but the type A2Bw4Bw6 and Bw6, presented in father and/or son, have been.

Differential Expression of HLA-DR and HLA-DC/DS Molecules in a Patient With Hairy Cell Leukemia: Restoration of HLA-DC/DS
Biosynthesis and molecular structure of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens of DR2/DR7 hairy cells were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). Two anti-human Ia monocbonal antibodies (mAb) were used to immunoprecipitate DR and DR-linked DC/DS molecules. Monocbonal antibody VI 1 5 C recognizes DR (l-E-like) molecules and CA 2.06 precipitate...

متن کاملRelative power of linkage and transmission disequilibrium test strategies to detect non-HLA linked coeliac disease susceptibility genes.
BACKGROUND Susceptibility to coeliac disease is genetically determined by possession of specific HLA DQ alleles, acting in concert with one or more non-HLA linked genes. The pattern of familial risk is most parsimonious with a multiplicative model for the interaction between these two classes of genes. Haplotype sharing probabilities across the HLA region in affected sibling pairs suggest that ...
متن کاملA Case of Hairy Cell Leukemia Associated with Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) Antigenemia and Concurrent Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Seropositivity
Literature review shows that hepatitis C infection may increase the risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma. Reactivation of hepatitis B infection has been reported in patients with hairy cell leukemia after chemotherapy and/or splenectomy. We present hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigenemia and concurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity in a case of hairy cell leukemia. Key Words: Hairy cell leukemi...
متن کاملHairy cell leukaemia.
Hairy cell leukaemia is a rare form of lymphoproliferative disease that affects 2% of leukaemia patients and was first described in 1958 as leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis. The typical presentation is pancytopenia, splenomegaly and abnormal lymphoid cells in blood with hairy cytoplasmic projections. The pathological hairy cell resembles in many ways B-lymphocyte as in chronic lymphocytic leukae...
