Two cases of AMeD syndrome with isochromosome 1q treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation
View through CrossRef
AMeD syndrome is characterized by aplastic anemia, mental retardation,
short stature, and microcephaly and is caused by digenic mutations in
the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 ( ALDH2) and alcohol dehydrogenase 5
( ADH5) genes. We have successfully performed hematopoietic stem
cell transplantation in two patients with AMeD syndrome and
isochromosome 1q. AMeD syndrome with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute
myeloblastic leukemia generally has a poor prognosis; however, early
diagnosis may improve treatment response. Although the gain of 1q has
been considered as a form of early clonal evolution in Fanconi anemia,
it may be an equally important finding observed in AMeD syndrome.
