Abstract:
Background: Glycogen-storage disease 1b (GSD 1b) is characterized by neutropenia, hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, enterocolitis and recurrent severe infections. For more than 25 years, many GSD 1b patients worldwide have been treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Methods: The Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry (SCNIR) enrolls and prospectively follows GSD 1b patients with both severe (ANC & lt; 0.5 x 109/L) and mild or moderate neutropenia (ANC & lt; 1.5 x 109/L). For this report we analyzed records for 83 patients enrolled through the SCNIR offices in Seattle, Washington and Hannover, Germany. Findings - Clinical outcomes: Overall most patients and parents report very favorable outcomes with increases in neutrophils, reduced infections, reduced symptoms of enterocolitis and improved quality of life. Neutropenia: Because splenomegaly may increase markedly with G-CSF treatment, clinical experience dictates that the G-CSF dose should be carefully monitored to maintain the ANC at 1.0 to 2.0 x 109/L. Summary data for treatment of 83 patients are shown in Table 1. Myeloid malignancies: We assessed the risk of GSD 1b patients developing myeloid malignancies from review of the medical literature and patients prospectively followed through the SCNIR. We identified 1 case of AML prior to availability of G-CSF and 6 cases of AML in G-CSF treated patients, 4 from the cohort followed prospectively by the SCNIR. Table 2 shows detailed data for the 7 patients with GSD1b who have developed AML. Conclusions: In the 83 SCNIR patients followed for a mean (median) of 12.2 (11.0) years there are 4 cases (4/83, 4.8%) of AML, or 1 case/253 years of G-CSF treatment. This is lower than the estimated risk of evolution to AML in the major genetic subgroups of severe congenital neutropenia treated with G-CSF, e.g., harboring ELANE, HAX1, SDS mutations . The numbers of patients in other genetic subgroups, such as G6PC3, JAGN1, TCIRG1, etc. are too small to make any reliable comparison about the risk of developing leukemia. (Skokowa J et al.
