GATA2 is a transcription factor that is involved in the lympho-hematopoiesis. Mutations of GATA2 cause MonoMAC syndrome (monocytopenia and mycobacterial infections)/DCML deficiency (dendritic cell, monocyte, B and natural killer (NK) lymphoid deficiency), Emberger syndrome (lymphoedema with MDS), and MDS/AML. In this review, we explain the new function of GATA2, and describe the clinical phenotypes, laboratory findings, pathology, genetic anomalies and etiology.
GATA2是一种参与淋巴细胞生成的转录因子。GATA2突变会导致单核细胞减少症和分枝杆菌感染综合征(MonoMAC综合征)/树突状细胞、单核细胞、B细胞和自然杀伤(NK)淋巴细胞缺陷(DCML缺陷)、恩伯格综合征(伴有骨髓增生异常综合征的淋巴水肿)以及骨髓增生异常综合征/急性髓系白血病(MDS/AML)。在本综述中,我们阐述了GATA2的新功能,并描述了其临床表型、实验室检查结果、病理学、基因异常及病因。
