RESUMO
Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disorder with a sex-linked inherited pattern, characterized by an inability to amplify coagulation due to a deficiency in coagulation factor VIII (hemophilia A or classic) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Sequencing of the genes involved in hemophilia has provided a description and record of the main mutations, as well as a correlation with the various degrees of severity. Hemorrhagic manifestations are related to levels of circulating factor, mainly affecting the musculoskeletal system and specifically the large joints (knees, ankles, and elbows). This document is a review and consensus of the main genetic aspects of hemophilia, from the inheritance pattern to the concept of women carriers, physiopathology and classification of the disorder, the basic and confirmation studies when hemophilia is suspected, the various treatment regimens based on infusion of the deficient coagulation factor as well as innovative factor-free therapies and recommendations for the management of complications associated with treatment (development of inhibitors and/or transfusion-transmitted infections), or secondary to articular hemorrhagic events (hemophilic arthropathy). Finally, relevant reviews of clinical and treatment aspects of hemorrhagic pathology characterized by acquired deficiency of FVIII secondary to neutralized antibodies named acquired hemophilia.
La hemofilia es un trastorno hemorrágico con patrón de herencia ligado al sexo, caracterizado por una incapacidad en la amplificación de la coagulación ocasionada por la deficiencia del factor VIII (hemofilia A o clásica) o del factor IX (hemofilia B). La secuenciación de los genes involucrados en la hemofilia ha permitido la descripción y registro de las principales mutaciones, así como la correlación con los diversos grados de severidad. Las manifestaciones hemorrágicas se relacionan con los niveles de factor deficiente circulante, afectando principalmente al sistema musculoesquelético y en particular a las grandes articulaciones (rodillas, tobillos y codos). El presente documento hace una revisión y consenso de los principales aspectos genéticos de la hemofilia, desde el patrón de herencia y el concepto de mujeres portadoras, la fisiopatología y clasificación de la enfermedad, los estudios básicos y de confirmación ante la sospecha de hemofilia, y de los diversos esquemas de tratamiento basados en la infusión del factor de coagulación deficiente hasta las terapias innovadoras libres de factor, así como de las recomendaciones para el manejo de las complicaciones asociadas al tratamiento (desarrollo de inhibidores y/o infecciones transmitidas por transfusión) o secundarias a los eventos hemorrágicos a nivel articular (artropatía hemofílica). La parte final del documento revisa los aspectos clínicos y de tratamiento relevantes de una patología hemorragica caracterizada por la deficiencia adquirida del FVIII mediada por anticuerpos neutralizantes denominada hemofilia adquirida.

INTRODUCTION: In developing countries, there is commonly a lack of population-based cancer registries or underreporting, thus not recognizing the true dimensions of the problem. AIM: To describe the age and sex frequencies of the major subtypes of leukemias in two hospitals of reference in the metropolitan area of Mexico City. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a descriptive and retrospective study, based on medical records of two hematology services during January 2007 to October 2014; all cases diagnosed with leukemia were included. RESULTS: A total of 1,432 cases were included with a median age of 38 years (range, two months to 115 years). There were significant age differences between subtypes of leukemia (ANOVA test, p = 0.000): chronic lymphocytic with a mean age of 64.8 years, higher than chronic myeloid (43.4 years) and all acute leukemias (lymphoblastic: 32.6 years, myeloblastic 43.5 years). Of the patients, 51.8% (n = 742) were women, although males predominated in chronic myeloid (57.8%) and lymphocytic (60%) leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the more common variety, FABL2 subtype, followed by myeloid leukemia M4, M2, and chronic myeloid. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to develop inter-institutional works in order to group data of different population sectors and improve the epidemiological profile of leukemia in Mexico.
