Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that varies in severity and can involve multiple organ systems. In approximately 50% of cases, it is caused by missense mutations in the gene (12q24.13). NS is associated with a higher risk of cancer occurrence, specifically hematological disorders. Here, we report a case of a child who was diagnosed at birth with a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD). After two years, the child developed hyperdiploid B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), receiving a two-year course of treatment. During her continuous complete remission (CCR), a heterozygous germline mutation in the [c.218 C>T (p.Thr73lle)] was identified. At the age of ten, the child presented with massive splenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia, resulting in the diagnosis of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). After an initial response to antimetabolite therapy (6-mercaptopurine), she underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is currently in complete remission. The goal of this review is to gain insight into the various hematological diseases associated with NS, starting from our unique case.
努南综合征(NS)是一种常染色体显性遗传疾病,其严重程度不一,可涉及多个器官系统。大约 50%的病例由基因(12q24.13)的错义突变引起。NS 与癌症发生风险增加相关,特别是血液系统疾病。在这里,我们报告了一例出生时诊断为短暂性髓系增生异常(TMD)的儿童病例。两年后,该儿童发展为高倍体 B 细胞前体急性淋巴细胞白血病(BCP-ALL),接受了两年的治疗。在她持续完全缓解(CCR)期间,发现了基因[c.218 C>T (p.Thr73lle)]的杂合性种系突变。在十岁时,该儿童出现巨脾、白细胞增多和血小板减少,导致诊断为幼年骨髓单核细胞白血病(JMML)。在对代谢物治疗(6-巯基嘌呤)有初步反应后,她接受了单倍体造血干细胞移植(HSCT),目前处于完全缓解状态。本综述的目的是从我们的独特病例出发,深入了解与 NS 相关的各种血液疾病。
