Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been proposed as treatment for mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy, a rare fatal autosomal recessive disease due to TYMP mutations that result in thymidine phosphorylase deficiency. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all known patients suffering from mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy who underwent allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation between 2005 and 2011. Twenty-four patients, 11 males and 13 females, median age 25 years (range 10-41 years) treated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from related (n = 9) or unrelated donors (n = 15) in 15 institutions worldwide were analysed for outcome and its associated factors. Overall, 9 of 24 patients (37.5%) were alive at last follow-up with a median follow-up of these surviving patients of 1430 days. Deaths were attributed to transplant in nine (including two after a second transplant due to graft failure), and to mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy in six patients. Thymidine phosphorylase activity rose from undetectable to normal levels (median 697 nmol/h/mg protein, range 262-1285) in all survivors. Seven patients (29%) who were engrafted and living more than 2 years after transplantation, showed improvement of body mass index, gastrointestinal manifestations, and peripheral neuropathy. Univariate statistical analysis demonstrated that survival was associated with two defined pre-transplant characteristics: human leukocyte antigen match (10/10 versus <10/10) and disease characteristics (liver disease, history of gastrointestinal pseudo-obstruction or both). Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can restore thymidine phosphorylase enzyme function in patients with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy and improve clinical manifestations of mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy in the long term. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be considered for selected patients with an optimal donor.
造血干细胞移植已被提议作为线粒体神经胃肠性脑肌病的治疗方法,这是一种罕见的致命常染色体隐性疾病,由TYMP突变导致胸苷磷酸化酶缺乏引起。我们对2005年至2011年间接受异基因造血干细胞移植的所有已知线粒体神经胃肠性脑肌病患者进行了回顾性分析。分析了全球15家机构中24例患者(11例男性和13例女性,中位年龄25岁,范围10 - 41岁),这些患者接受了来自相关供体(n = 9)或无关供体(n = 15)的造血干细胞移植,以评估结局及其相关因素。总体而言,24例患者中有9例(37.5%)在最后一次随访时存活,这些存活患者的中位随访时间为1430天。死亡原因9例归因于移植(包括2例因移植物失败进行第二次移植后死亡),6例归因于线粒体神经胃肠性脑肌病。所有存活者的胸苷磷酸化酶活性从无法检测升至正常水平(中位值697 nmol/h/mg蛋白,范围262 - 1285)。7例移植后植入且存活超过2年的患者(29%),其体重指数、胃肠道表现和周围神经病变有所改善。单因素统计分析表明,生存与两个移植前确定的特征相关:人类白细胞抗原匹配(10/10对<10/10)和疾病特征(肝病、胃肠道假性梗阻病史或两者皆有)。异基因造血干细胞移植可恢复线粒体神经胃肠性脑肌病患者的胸苷磷酸化酶功能,并长期改善线粒体神经胃肠性脑肌病的临床表现。对于有合适供体的选定患者,应考虑进行异基因造血干细胞移植。
