Genetics of Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (fHLH) represents a group of rare, inherited immune system disorders characterized by uncontrolled inflammatory responses. fHLH results from genetic mutations that impair CD8 T cell and natural killer cell cytotoxicity. Without treatment, fHLH is commonly fatal, but early diagnosis and treatment, including immunosuppressive therapy, and in many cases, an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), can improve overall outcomes. Genetic testing is critical for confirming the diagnosis, identifying specific gene mutations, assessing family members for carrier status or disease risk, and informing donor selection for HSCT.
期刊介绍:
Hematology/Oncology Clinics updates you on the latest trends in patient management, keeps you up to date on the newest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Under the direction of an experienced guest editor, each issue focuses on a single topic in hematology and oncology, including hemostasis and thrombosis, molecular and cellular basis of hematology, coagulation disorders, and cancers—bone, gastrointestinal, head and neck, lymphomas, neuroendocrine, breast, renal cell, melanoma, and more.
