    • BACKGROUND Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an uncommon, invariably fatal, neurodegenerative disorder that presents as progressive dementia with concurrent motor symptoms and myoclonia. The pathophysiology involves prion protein misfolding and spreading in a self-catalyzed manner. It has been shown to be transmissible through tissue transplants. Variant CJD (vCJD), a subtype of the disease is also transmissible through transfusion of blood products. This study aims to corroborate the scarce data that suggest that sporadic CJD (sCJD) is not transmitted via blood transfusion. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed, using data from the bi-national Scandinavian Donations and Transfusions (SCANDAT2) database containing data on blood donors, donations, transfusions, and transfused patients in Sweden and Denmark since 1968 and 1982, respectively. Mortality and medical data were collected from nationwide health care and population registries. Donors with subsequent CJD were identified, as well as recipients of blood products from these donors. A second analysis was performed, screening for clustering of CJD cases from donors without a CJD diagnosis. RESULTS We identified 39 donors with a subsequent diagnosis of sCJD. No cases of CJD occurred among the 883 recipients of blood products from these donors. A total of 89 CJD cases were identified among recipients of transfusions. No clustering of cases from the same donor occurred. DISCUSSION Using data from a large, bi-national database of transfused patients, we find no evidence of sCJD transmission. Our data adds to the growing body of evidence indicating that sCJD is not transfusion transmitted.

  • Children with low-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia are at highest risk of second cancers
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Pediatr Blood Cancer. - : Wiley. - 1545-5009 .- 1545-5017. ; 64:10
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BackgroundThe improved survival rates for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) may be jeopardized by the development of a second cancer, which has been associated with thiopurine therapy. ProcedureWe retrospectively analyzed three sequential Nordic Society of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology's protocols characterized by increasing intensity of thiopurine-based maintenance therapy. We explored the risk of second cancer in relation to protocols, risk group, thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity, ALL high hyperdiploidy (HeH), and t(12;21)[ETV6/RUNX1]. ResultsAfter median 9.5 years (interquartile range, 5.4-15.3 yrs) of follow-up, 40 of 3,591 patients had developed a second cancer, of whom 38 had non-high-risk B-cell precursor ALL. Patients with standard-risk ALL, who received the longest maintenance therapy, had the highest adjusted hazard of second cancer (hazard ratio [HR], intermediate vs. standard risk: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06-0.43, P < 0.001; HR, high vs. standard risk: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.02-0.49, P = 0.006); no significant effects of protocol, age, or white blood cell count at diagnosis, ALL HeH, or t(12;21)[ETV6/RUNX1] were observed. A subset analysis on the patients with standard-risk ALL did not show an increased hazard of second cancer from either HeH or t(12;21) (adjusted HR 2.02, 95% CI: 0.69-5.96, P = 0.20). The effect of low TPMT low activity was explored in patients reaching maintenance therapy in clinical remission (n = 3,368); no association with second cancer was observed (adjusted HR 1.43, 95% CI: 0.54-3.76, P = 0.47). ConclusionsThe rate of second cancer was generally highest in patients with low-risk ALL, but we could not identify a subset at higher risk than others.

  • Effects of germ line DHFR and FPGS variants on methotrexate metabolism and relapse of leukemia
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Blood. - : American Society of Hematology. - 0006-4971 .- 1528-0020. ; 136:10, s. 1161-1168
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Methotrexate (MTX) during maintenance therapy is essential for curing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but dosing strategies aiming at adequate treatment intensity are challenged by interindividual differences in drug disposition. To evaluate genetic factors associated with MTX metabolism, we performed a genome-wide association study in 447 ALL cases from the Nordic Society for Pediatric Haematology and Oncology ALL2008 study, validating results in an independent set of 196 patients. The intergenic single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1382539, located in a regulatory element of DHFR, was associated with increased levels of short-chain MTX polyglutamates (P = 1.1 x 10(-8)) related to suppression of enhancer activity, whereas rs35789560 in FPGS (p.R466C, P = 5.6 x 10(-9)) was associated with decreased levels of long-chain MTX polyglutamates through reduced catalytic activity. Furthermore, the FPGS variant was linked with increased relapse risk (P = .044). These findings show a genetic basis for interpatient variability in MTX response and could be used to improve future dosing algorithms.
