Resumo: | Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare variant of thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and, occasionally, acute renal failure. This condition is often idiopathic and may also be secondary to other pathologies or due to genetic causes - variants in the complement genes (C3, CFB, CFH, CFI, MCP, THBD). These changes, in most cases, lead to hyperactivation of the pathway complement and consequently result in the formation of microvascular thrombi that affect, mainly, the renal function. However, other possible genetic causes of this pathology have emerged recently, in genes not related to complement, VTN, PLG, among other coagulation genes. Objectives and Methods: In order to deepen the genotype/phenotype correlation in patients with aHUS, we analyzed 45 genes in 50 patients using Sanger sequencing for the VTN gene and a custom next generation sequencing gene panel (NGS) for PLG and other coagulation genes. Results: In total, 53 different rare variants were identified in VTN, PLG, ADAMTS13, ANKRD26, F5, F7, F8, F10, F13A1, FGA, FGB, FGG, GP6, ITGA2B, ITGB3, NBEAL2, PLAT, PROC, PROS1, SERPINC1, SERPINE1, SERPINF2, TUBB1 and VWF. Of which we identified 8 pathogenic variants, 11 probably pathogenic, 14 uncertain significance and 20 probably benign. Conclusions: This study did not imply VTN and PLG in particular as important contributors to aHUS. However, we found variants in several genes that could be a genetic background in these patients, and to have a cumulative effect on both systems - coagulation and complement. |

Esta patologia é frequentemente idiopática, podendo também ser secundária a outras patologias ou devida a causas genéticas – variantes nos genes do complemento (C3, CFB, CFH, CFI, MCP, THBD). Estas alterações, na maioria dos casos, originam a hiperativação da via alternativa do complemento e consequentemente resultam em formação de trombos microvasculares que afetam, principalmente, a função renal. No entanto, recentemente surgiram outras possíveis causas genéticas desta patologia, em genes não relacionados com o complemento, VTN, PLG, entre outros genes de coagulação. Objetivos e Métodos: Com o objetivo de analisar a correlação genótipo/fenótipo em pacientes com SHUa, analisámos 45 genes em 50 pacientes, utilizando a sequenciação Sanger para o gene VTN e um painel de genes personalizado de sequenciação de próxima geração (NGS) para o PLG e outros genes de coagulação. Resultados: No total, foram identificadas 53 variantes raras diferentes em VTN, PLG, ADAMTS13, ANKRD26, F5, F7, F8, F10, F13A1, FGA, FGB, FGG, GP6, ITGA2B, ITGB3, NBEAL2, PLAT, PROC, PROS1, SERPINC1, SERPINE1, SERPINF2, TUBB1 e VWF. Das quais, identificámos 8 variantes patogénicas, 11 provavelmente patogénicas, 14 de significado incerto e 20 provavelmente benignas. Conclusões: Este estudo não implicou os genes VTN e PLG, em particular, como importantes contribuintes para SHUa. Contudo, encontrámos variantes em vários genes que poderão constituir uma predisposição genética nestes doentes, e ter um efeito cumulativo em ambos os sistemas - coagulação e complemento.2021-02-01T14:37:24Z2020-12-03T00:00:00Z2020-12-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/30449engMalva, Jéssica Filipa Piresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:58:53Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/30449Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:02:34.280520Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
