HemOnc Mutations/Disorders Flashcards
Follicular Lymphoma
t(14;18) BCL2–> IgH resulting in BCL2 over expression
- small B- Cells, CD 20+
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
t(11;14) Cyclin D –> IgH
- Elevated Cyclin D resulting more cells passing thru G1/S
- Small B-Cells, CD20+
Marginal Zone Lymphoma
- Secondary to an inflammatory state
- MALTOMA
- Small B-Cells CD20+
Burkitt Lymphoma
t(8;14) CMYC –> IgH
- Intermediate B-Cells, CD20+
- High mitotic rate, Starry Sky appearance
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
t(3;14)- BCL6–> IgH, BCL6 overexpression
- Can be sporadic or due to transformation from a low grade small B-Cell lymphoma (Richter Transformation)
- Large B-cells in sheets
- Diffuse, aggressive
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Reed Sternberg Cells
-Large B-Cells, CD15+, CD30+
T-Cell Lymphomas
NHLS
CD3+, CD4+
Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma
- Arborizing blood vessels + CD3+/CD4+ tumor cells in a backgorund of dendritic cells with some B-Cells mixed in
Anaplastic large T-cell Lymphoma
t(2;5)- ALK1 over-expression
- CD3+/CD4+ wreath-like cells
- CD30+
- curable w/ chemo
Cutaneous T-Cells Lymphoma (Mycosis Fungioides)
CD4+
- Pautrier microabscesses
- Sezary Syndrome- lympho. w/ cerebriform nuclei
Chronic Granulomatous Disese
- NADPH oxidase defect resulting in poor superoxide dependent killing
- neg. nitroblue tetrazolium test
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
- Auto rec. deficiency of beta integrin family
- Increase WBC count w/ no infection
- Lack the integrins needed for normal neutrophil and monocyte trafficking
Hyper IgE Syndrome (Job Syndrome)
- Auto. Dominant: STAT activating Mutation
- Auto. Recessive: Dock8 Mutation
Triad: Eosinophila + eczema + recurrent sinopulmonary and cutaneous infections
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
- Auto. Recessive protein trafficking defect
- Deficient phagolysosome formation

Cyclic Neutrpenia
Auto. Dominant elastase deficiency
- 21 day neutrophil cycles
X-Linked Aggamaglobulinemia
X-linked mut. in Burton TK
- Complete lack of Ig due to dysfunction of B cell maturation
Hyper IgM Syndrome
- Auto Rec. mut. of CD40 ligand on Th cells or CD40 rec. on B-cells
- 2nd signal not delivered to Th cells during B-cell activation s/t no class switching happens
Common Variable Immunodeficiency
- heterogenous group of diseases
- Low Ig b/c of B and T cell defects
SCID
X-linked mutation on the common gamma chain of the IL-receptor
- Defects in cell-mediated and humoral immunity
