- Despite improving cure rates in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), therapeutic side effects and relapse are ongoing challenges. These can also affect the central nervous system (CNS). Our aim was to identify germline gene polymorphisms that influence the risk of CNS events. Sixty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 20 genes were genotyped in a Hungarian non-matched ALL cohort of 36 cases with chemotherapy related acute toxic encephalopathy (ATE) and 544 controls. Five significant SNPs were further analyzed in an extended Austrian-Czech-NOPHO cohort (n = 107 cases, n = 211 controls) but none of the associations could be validated. Overall populations including all nations’ matched cohorts for ATE (n = 426) with seizure subgroup (n = 133) and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES, n = 251) were analyzed, as well. We found that patients with ABCB1 rs1045642, rs1128503 or rs2032582 TT genotypes were more prone to have seizures but those with rs1045642 TT developed PRES less frequently. The same SNPs were also examined in relation to ALL relapse on a case-control matched cohort of 320 patients from all groups. Those with rs1128503 CC or rs2032582 GG genotypes showed higher incidence of CNS relapse. Our results suggest that blood-brain-barrier drug transporter gene-polymorphisms might have an inverse association with seizures and CNS relapse.

- Coagulation system is disturbed by several mechanisms after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We evaluated the effect of HSCT on coagulation system by various conventional and investigational methods in 30 children and adolescents who received HSCT due to haematological malignancies. Pro-thrombin fragment 1 + 2, a specific measure of thrombin generation, and von Willebrand factor, a measure of endothelial activation, increased after conditioning treatment, and remained elevated until 3 months after HSCT (p < 0.05 for all comparisons to pre-conditioning treatment). D-dimer, a measure of fibrin turnover, was elevated from the second week onwards until 4 weeks after HSCT (p < 0.05). Endogenous thrombin potential was increased after conditioning, and at 2 weeks after HSCT (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the activities of acute phase reactants fibrinogen and coagulation factor VIII were increased (p < 0.05 for all comparisons to pre-conditioning treatment) from the first week onwards up to 3 weeks and 3 months after HSCT, respectively. Taken together, paediatric patients receiving HSCT demonstrate distinct and prolonged variations in the coagulation system towards a pro-coagulant state. This shift is of importance when estimating the risk of haemostatic and thrombotic complications in these children.
