Abstract

Background: Fanconi anemia is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by somatic abnormalities and an increased predisposition to malignancies.

Objective: To determine the clinical spectrum and evaluate the hematological parameters as well as highlight diagnosis by chromosomal breakage analysis of Fanconi anemia patients.

Material and methods: A total of 124 patients were diagnosed as having Fanconi anemia from August 2014 to May 2020 at Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Clinical details, somatic abnormalities, radiological findings, lab parameters and result of chromosomal breakage analysis were noted and analyzed.

Results: One hundred and twenty four (14.29%) were diagnosed as having Fanconi anemia (FA) on chromosomal breakage test. Median age was 09 years 06 months. Male to female ratio was 1.9:1. Six of these patients exhibited mosaicism and were classified as FA mosaic. Somatic abnormalities were detected in 74 (59.7%) patients; the most common being skeletal abnormalities and short stature.

Conclusion: Chromosomal breakage analysis is a cost-effective method for diagnosis of Fanconi anemia. Early diagnosis is pertinent for proper treatment and long term prognosis.

范可尼贫血124例临床谱、血液学指标及染色体断裂分析
背景:范可尼贫血是一种遗传性骨髓衰竭综合征,以躯体异常和恶性肿瘤易感性增加为特征。目的:探讨范可尼贫血患者的临床谱、血液学指标及染色体断裂分析的诊断价值。材料与方法:2014年8月至2020年5月在巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第武装部队病理研究所诊断为范可尼贫血的患者共124例。记录和分析临床细节、躯体异常、放射学表现、实验室参数和染色体断裂分析结果。结果:124例(14.29%)染色体断裂试验诊断为范可尼贫血(FA)。中位年龄为09岁06个月。男女比例为1.9:1。其中6例出现嵌合现象,归类为FA嵌合。74例(59.7%)患者检出躯体异常;最常见的是骨骼异常和身材矮小。结论:染色体断裂分析是诊断范可尼贫血的有效方法。早期诊断是正确治疗和长期预后的关键。
