home chi siamo staff contattaci ... Prostata Ematologia Ultimo aggiornamento: 09/07/03 La diagnosi in utero avvantaggia i talassemici Basta non sprecare le possibilità Un’esperienza italiana mostra, una volta tanto, come non sia necessario mettere a punto nuove metodiche per ottenere risultati di rilievo in malattie genetiche come la beta-talassemia. All’Università di Cagliari, per la precisione al dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e Biotecnologie e al Centro Trapianti Midollo Osseo 2° Clinica Pediatrica, sono state sfruttate in modo innovativo metodiche mature come il prelievo dei villi coriali e la tipizzazione dell’HLA. Il primo test serve a determinare, prelevando cellule fetali, se il nascituro è semplicemente portatore di mutazioni genetiche e, in questo caso della talassemia, cioè se è eterozigote per i geni incriminati, oppure se ne soffrirà inevitabilmente (omozigote per i geni della malattia). La determinazione dell’HLA (o complesso maggiore di istocompatibilità) serve invece a stabilire la compatibilità tra persone in caso di trapianto di midollo come di altri organi o tessuti. L’idea che ha guidato i ricercatori era fornire un’alternativa all’interruzione di gravidanza alle coppie che, in seguito a consulenza genetica, avessero appreso di attendere un figlio omozigote per la malattia. Infatti, se la coppia aveva già avuto un figlio sano, con HLA identico a quello fetale, era già possibile ipotizzare il trapianto delle cellule ematopoietiche al raggiungimento del diciottesimo mese di vita. D’altra parte anche nel caso opposto, e cioè che il nascituro risulti esente dalla malattia ma la coppia abbia già avuto un figlio colpito dalla malattia, se esiste una compatibilità con il feto c’è non solo la conferma di poter procedere in futuro al trapianto di midollo, ma anche a quello di cellule staminali da cordone ombelicale. E’ utile conoscere in anticipo questo aspetto anche perché purtroppo la conservazione del sangue da cordone ombelicale non è una pratica corrente, anche se si tratta di una risorsa molto preziosa.

But a new film documentary may help to educate viewers about the disease, which affects about 80,000 people in the United States and millions worldwide. Called "Sickle Cell: The Forgotten Disease," the film will air at 10 p.m. EST on the Discovery Health Channel. It is being co-produced by the Dr. Spock Company. "It's hard to get funding or people interested in trials," said Dr. James Eckman, director of the Georgia Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at Grady Health System. "But because this is a lifelong, chronic problem, it has a greater impact." CONDITION CLINIC Sickle Cell disease A genetic disorder, sickle cell disease attacks red blood cells, making them rigid and distorting their normally round shape into crescents and points. These misshapen cells can easily clog tiny blood vessels and deprive organs and tissues of vital oxygen, causing intractable pain crises. In addition, children with sickle cell are more prone to stroke, pneumonia, infection and other long-term complications.

Blood Stem Cell Transplantation Aplastic anemia is not a single disease, but a group of closely related disorders characterized by the failure of the bone marrow to produce all three types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Aplastic anemia is rare, affecting fewer than 1,000 people each year in the United States. The exact cause of aplastic anemia is unknown, although it has been linked to exposure to chemicals and radiation. It is also believed that some cases of aplastic anemia are inherited and that some cases are due to a viral infection. Symptoms/Diagnosis In aplastic anemia, the quantity of each of the three blood cell types is much lower than normal, which leads to the symptoms that cause a physician to suspect the disease. These symptoms are unexplained infections (due to fewer white blood cells), unexpected bleeding (due to fewer platelets) and fatigue (due to fewer red blood cells).

Welcome to the: "Fanconi Anemia Web" WEB SITE Fanconi Anemia is a rare and terminal genetic childhood disease that results in death due to Bone marrow failure. See Tucker's "Tucker Time!" photo page My baby boy Tucker's fatal Fanconi Anemia diagnosis totally devastated and encompassed my life with despair...Never have I experienced such a profound weeping of my soul... The only way I Knew that I was going to be able to break the paralyzing depression I was in, was to try to turn my despair into Hope . By devoting myself to "Taking Action" And doing all I can to offer help and resources to others dealing with this heartbreaking disease, and to provide up to date access to medical documentation for Doctors, researchers, medical students and anyone seeking knowlege on this very rare genetic childhood disease. I pray there is a "Miracle" behind the tragedy of this disease...for it is well documented that researchers world wide are learning more and more that equal to the extreme rareness of Fanconi Anemia is counter matched by concentrated properties and similarities that with continued research could unveil a cure for cancer and Leukemia as well. That truly would be a breakthrough for all mankind not just the rare several thousand Fanconi Anemia cases reported globally. The urgency of continued research is also why I created this Web Site to generate a comradery of Fundraising efforts, volunteers and contributions to The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund. I also donate 20% of my web site design fee to the Research Fund as well at my other site:
