摘要

目的:总结分析遗传性球形红细胞增多症(Hereditary spherocytosis, HS)的临床特点及基因表型,进一步探讨其诊治策略。方法:对1例ANK1基因c.3604delG (缺失鸟嘌呤),导致氨基酸改变p.D1202Tfs*28 (移码突变),从而引发患儿HS的临床资料进行回顾性分析并文献复习,探讨诊治策略。结果:患儿男性,5岁4月,反复面色苍白、黄疸5年余,根据入院各项检查和既往基因检测结果,明确诊断为HS、脾功能亢进、溶血性贫血。遂行腹腔镜脾脏切除术,术后予抗凝处理,并动态复查相关指标,患儿术后恢复顺利。结论:基因检测在HS的诊疗中占据重要位置,我们在HS患儿中发现的ANK1基因新突变,进一步扩大了HS患儿基因突变谱,同时对分析不同基因表型下该疾病的相关表现形式提供依据,针对HS患儿脾切除仍是其治疗的有效方法。

ABSTRACT

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics and genetic phenotype of hereditary spherocytosis (HS), and further explore the diagnosis and treatment strategies. Methods: The clinical data of a child with HS caused by ANK1 gene c.3604delG (Guanine is missing) and p.D1202Tfs*28 (Frameshift mutation), was retrospectively analyzed, and the related literatures were reviewed to explore the diagnosis and treatment strategies. Results: A boy, aged 5 years and 4 months, had recurrent pallor and jaundice for more than 5 years. He was diagnosed with HS, hypersplenism, and hemolytic anemia according to the results of admission examinations and previous genetic testing. Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed, anticoagulation treatment was given after operation, and the relevant indicators were dynamically reviewed. The patient recovered smoothly after operation. Conclusion: In HS, genetic testing occupies the important position. We found that children with HS new ANK1 gene mutationfurther expand the gene mutation spectrum of HS. At the same time, it provides the basis for analyzing the related manifestations of the disease under different genetic phenotypes. Splenectomy is still an effective treatment for children with HS.

1. 引言

遗传性球形红细胞增多症(hereditary spherocytosis, HS)是一种遗传性红细胞膜缺陷导致的溶血性疾病,临床表现为贫血、间歇性黄疸和脾大 [1] 。绝大多数为常染色体显性遗传,少部分为常染色体隐性遗传,无家族史的散发病例可能是新发生的基因突变所导致 [2] 。任何年龄均可发病。发病机制为红细胞膜蛋白基因异常,膜骨架蛋白缺陷,细胞膜脂质丢失,细胞表面积减少,细胞球形变 [3] 。球形红细胞通过脾脏时遭受脾脏巨噬细胞的破坏而致血管外溶血和脾肿大 [4] 。HS患者中,可见ANK1突变、SPTB突变、SLC4A1突变、SPTA1及EPB42突变几种类型,据报道其中最常见的是ANK1突变 [5] 。红细胞膜蛋白基因突变类型中错义突变最常见 [6] ,而本例为罕见型移码突变,在HGMD专业版数据库中未见报道。现对本例ANK1基因突变导致遗传性球形红细胞增多症的患儿临床表现、基因特点和外科治疗进行分析,并复习相关文献。

4. 讨论

遗传性球形红细胞增多症(HS)是一种常见的遗传性疾病。临床表现为贫血、黄疸和脾肿大,任何年龄段皆可发病。地域上,HS尤其在北欧和北美人群更为常见,发病率分别为1/5000和1/2000 [7] ,据报道国人的发病率为男性1.27:10万,女性1.49:10万 [8] 。患者临床症状有很大差异性,从无症状到严重溶血均可出现 [5] [9] 。仅通过血常规、网织红细胞计数、外周血涂片、骨髓细胞学检查、红细胞渗透脆性试验等一般检查,鉴别遗传性球细胞增多症、红细胞葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺乏症、自身免疫性溶血性贫血等溶血性疾病较为困难,易造成漏诊、误诊 [10] 。

研究发现ANK1、SPTB、SLC4A1、EPB42和SPTA1基因突变,将导致它们编码的锚蛋白、β-膜收缩蛋白、带3蛋白、蛋白4.2和α-膜收缩蛋白缺失 [11] 。当上述红细胞膜骨架蛋白缺陷时,细胞膜双分子层丢失,细胞表面积减少,细胞球形变。球形红细胞变形能力降低,通过脾脏时受到脾脏巨噬细胞的破坏而发生溶血性贫血 [12] 。此发病机制为HS诊断提供了重要的基因学检测依据。

据统计,目前在ANK1中至少发现60余种突变 [13] ,其中以错义突变最为常见,本例患儿基因检测发现ANK1基因c.3604delG (第3604位缺失鸟嘌呤)的杂合核苷酸变异,该变异(p.D1202Tfs*28)导致产生截短蛋白,ANK1基因编码的锚蛋白缺失,红细胞球形改变,患儿出现一系列相关临床症状。对于确诊HS的患儿,脾切除术疗效显著 [14] ,现已作为外科治疗中、重度遗传性球形红细胞增多症的方法(表4) [15] [16] 。脾切除后红细胞在体内的破坏明显减少,患儿的贫血、黄疸及网织红细胞增多可得到明显改善。

*患儿需要定期输血。

临床上必须关注脾切除术后两类并发症。一是脾切除后凶险性感染(OPSI),发生率约为每年0.23%~0.42%,终生风险为5% [17] 。过早进行脾切除患儿发生OPSI的概率会大大增加,通过将脾切除术延迟到6岁后,加上疫苗接种和抗生素预防,能降低风险,也有文献指出脾切除术可视情况于更小年龄进行 [16] [18] 。二是静脉血栓栓塞 [19] ,其主要是因为脾脏是血小板破坏最为重要的场所,脾切除术后血小板反应性增多,血小板计数可于术后2~10天开始增加,在1~3周内达到高峰 [20] ,需术后早期抗凝预防。虽然越来越多的文献增加了对脾切除术后并发症的认识,也有诸多预防措施,但是脾切除术后并发症死亡率依然很高 [21] [22] ,如何降低死亡率这一问题亟待解决。

综上所述,遗传性球形红细胞增多症(HS)是一种常见的遗传性疾病,临床表现差异较大,易发生误诊、误诊,基因检查可为HS的诊断提供重要参考并指导遗传咨询。本例发现的ANK1基因新突变,进一步扩大了HS患儿基因突变谱,同时对分析不同基因表型下该疾病的相关表现形式提供依据。目前脾切除术是HS最有效的治疗手段,但脾切除术后并发症治疗仍无有效方法。
