To explore the potential association between long-term exposure to raw lacquer and the development of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
We analyzed the clinical and hematological characteristics of an elderly couple with CMML. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to identify relevant gene variants, with a focus on mutation status.
Two unrelated CMML patients within the same family, both with over 40 years of raw lacquer exposure, developed CMML. WES revealed that both patients harbored multi-hit gene mutations and lacked mutations. Both demonstrated relative sensitivity to hydroxyurea or hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy. Unaffected family members lacked significant raw lacquer exposure.
Long-term exposure to raw lacquer may be associated with the onset of familial CMML. CMML patients with multi-hit mutations in the absence of mutations may have a favorable prognosis.
探讨长期接触生漆与慢性粒单核细胞白血病(CMML)发生之间的潜在关联。
我们分析了一对患有CMML的老年夫妇的临床和血液学特征。进行全外显子组测序(WES)以鉴定相关基因变异,重点关注 突变状态。
同一家族中的两名无血缘关系的CMML患者,均有超过40年的生漆接触史,均患CMML。WES显示两名患者均存在多重打击基因突变且缺乏 突变。两者对羟基脲或去甲基化药物(HMA)治疗均表现出相对敏感性。未受影响的家庭成员无明显生漆接触史。
长期接触生漆可能与家族性CMML的发病有关。在无 突变情况下具有多重打击 突变的CMML患者可能预后良好。
