  1. HEREDITARY ANEMIAS PROF. SAMIYA NAEEMULLAH Diplomate American Board of Pediatrics FAAP, FCPS Head of Pediatrics Department Islamic International Medical College

  2. ANEMIA • Defined as HB level below normal range • Varies with age and sex of the individual • Neonate Hb < 14 g/dl • 1-12 months: Hb <10 g/dl • 1- 12 years Hb < 11 g/dl

  3. IMPAIRED RED CELL PRODUCTION • Congenital Red cell aplasia • Diamond Blackfan Anemia • Fanconi Anemia

  4. INCREASED RED CELL DESTRUCTION • Hemolytic Anemias • RED CELL MEMBRANE DISORDERS • Hereditary Spherocytosis • RED CELL ENZYME DISORDER • Glucose 6 – phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) • Hemoglobinopathies • Sickle cell disease • Thalassemia

  5. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Discuss the etiology of different types of hereditary anemias? • Differentiate between cell defects, enzymatic defects and hemoglobinopathies • Be able to distinguish the morphology of different hemolytic anemias • Discuss clinical features of sickle cell disease and Thalassemia Major • Correlate clinical features with pathophysiology of the disease

  6. DIAMOND BLACKFAN ANEMIA • Etiology • Autosomal dominant 15% • Autosomal recessive 15% • Spradic 80% • FH 20%

  7. ANEMIA

  8. CONGENITAL ANOMALIES Short stature

  9. DIAGNOSIS • Low Hb% macrocyte • Low reticulocyte Count • Normal bilirubin • Absent red cell precussors on narrow

  10. INHERITED APLASTIC ANEMIAS • Reduction or absence of all three main line in bone marrow leading to peripheral blood pancytopenia

  11. FANCONI’S ANEMIA • Short stature • Abnormal radii & thumbs • Renal manifestation • Pigmented skin lesion • Increased chromosomal breakage of peripheral blood lymphocytes

  12. Schwachman Diamond Syndrome • Autosomal Recessive disorder • Bone marrow failure • Pancreatic exocrine failure • Skeletal abnormalities

  13. RED CELL MEMBRANE DISORDERS • Hereditary spherocytosis • Hereditary elliptocytosis

  14. HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS • Autosomal dominant • No F/H – in 25% cases • Defect in genes for the skeletal proteins of the red cells membrane spectrin, ankyrin and band 3 red cell losses part of its membrane passing through spleen

  15. in surface to volume ratio – causes the cells to become spheroidal. • Less deformable than normal RBS • Destruction in micro vasculature of the spleen

  16. Jaundice at birth • Anemia • Mild to moderate splenomegaly • Aplastic crises • Gall stones

  17. ENZYME DEFECTS • Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency • Commonest red cell enzymopathy effecting over 100 million people world wide • G6PD in red cell essential for preventing • Oxidative damage to red cells • So cell lacking the enzyme are suseptible to oxidant induced hemolysis

  18. Etiology with inherited as X linked effects males • G6PD activity in  in Red cells • Mostly in old cells

  19. X LINKED INHERITANCE

  20. CLINICALLY • Neonatal Jaundice • Acute hemolysis precipitected by • Drugs • Infection • Naphthalene in moth balls • Intravascular hemolysis • Fever, malaise, dark colored urine

  21. HEMOGLOBINOPATHIES • These are red blood cell disorders which cause hemolytic anemia because of • Reduced or absent production of Hb A( &  thalassemia) • Production of abnormal Hb e.g. sickle cell disease

  22. BETA THALASSEMIA AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE • Inherited disorder characterized by absence or decreased synthesis of beta globin chain of hemoglobin

  23. Normal Fetal Hb at different ages • At birth – 70% • 5 weeks – 55% • 4 months – 10% • 5 month – 5% • At one year – (< 2%)

  24. HETEROZYOUS SATE Thalassemia Minor • One normal betaglobin chain gene and one beta-thalassemia gene HOMOZYGOUS Thalassemia Intermedia • 2  Thalassemia genes Thalassemia Major • 2 Beta thalassemia genes

  25. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Beta Thalassemia minor • Most Common • Failure of one gene coding for beta chain • Alpha chain – production – normal • Alpha chain available combine with beta chain •  Hb A levels

  26. Excess alpha chain – stimulates production of delta chain – Hb A2  • Still excess alpha chains – switches off gamma chain production does not function correctly. And rate of gamma chain production is greater than in normal adult so  amount of Hb F.

  27. HbF • Poor oxygen deliverer and high affinity for O2 • Only functional Hb present is A2 Hypoxia Erythropoetin Stimulated marrow to maximum Extremedullary hematopaiesis Splenomegaly

  28. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS Thalassemia Minor • The Growth & Development is normal • Mild anemia Hb – 10 mg./dl

  29. Thalassemia Intermedia • Symptomatic by 2 – 4 yrs of age • Mod anemia • Thalassemic facies • Growth failure • Hepatosplenomegaly • Jaundice

  30. THALASSEMIA MAJOR • DETROIT PEDIATRICIAN • 1925 THOMAS COOLEY (Cooley Anemia) • Profound anemia • Splenomegaly • Bony deformities • Greek word Thalasa SEA Blood

  31. Universally fatal disease Is now converted into chronic illness

  32. INCIDENCE • 3% of world’s population carry Thalassemia gene • PAKISTAN • Carrier rate 4-5% • Pathans 5.8% • Total No of patients 50,000-60,000 • 5000 – 6000 children are born each year

  33. THALASSEMIA MAJOR • Born normal at birth • Starts getting pale,fussy,irritable • Starts refusing feeds

  34. INFANT

  35. CHILD

  36. CLINICAL FEATURE • Bossing of skull • Maxillary overgrowth • Long face • Hepatosplenomegaly • Bones become thin • Fractures may occur • Heart failure

  37. ADOLESCENT

  38. COMPLICATIONS • Iron Overload • Darkening of skin(Iron stimulated melanin) • Cardiomyopathy • Endocrinopathies • Infections (Hepatitis A,B,C,Malaria,HIV) • Failure to thrive • Antibody formation(10%)Alloantibodies
