RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, an X-linked recessive disorder, is the commonest erythrocytic enzymopathy worldwide. Reliable diagnosis and severity prediction in G6PD-deficient/heterozygous females remain challenging. A recently developed flow cytometric test for G6PD deficiency has shown promise in precisely identifying deficient females. This paper presents our experiences with this test in a subtropical setting and presents a modification in flow cytometric data acquisition strategy. METHODS: The methaemoglobin reduction + ferryl Hb generation-based flow cytometric G6PD test was compared with the screening methaemoglobin reduction test (MRT) and confirmatory G6PD enzyme activity assay (EAA) in 20 G6PD-deficient males, 22 G6PD-heterozygous/deficient females and 20 controls. Stained cells were also assessed for bright/dim G6PD activity under a fluorescent microscope. RESULTS: Flow cytometry separated and quantified %bright cells in heterozygous/deficient females, objectively classifying them into 6 normal (>85% bright cells), 14 intermediate (10-85%) and two G6PD-deficient (<10% bright cells). Concordance with MRT was 89% (55/62 cases) and with EAA was 77% (48/62 cases). Fluorometrically predicted violet laser excitation (405-nm) with signal acquisition in the 425-475 nm region was a technical advancement noted for the first time in this paper. CONCLUSION: Flow cytometry/fluorescence microscopy represent technically straightforward methods for the detection and quantification of G6PD-deficient erythrocytes. Based on our results, we recommend their application as a first-line investigation to screen females who are prescribed an oxidant drug like primaquine or dapsone.

RESUMO

The overexpression of cytokine receptor-like factor-2 (CRLF2) identified by anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor/TSLPR flow cytometry (FCM) has been reported as a screening tool for the identification of BCR-ABL1-like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/B-ALL with CRLF2 re-arrangement. TSLPR expression was studied prospectively in consecutive 478 B-ALLs (≤ 12 years (n = 244); 13-25 years (n = 129); > 25 years (n = 105)) and correlated with various hematological parameters and end-of-induction measurable residual disease (day 29; MRD ≥ 0.01% by 10-color FCM). TSLPR positivity in ≥ 10% leukemic cells was detected in 14.6% (n = 70) of B-ALLs. CRLF2 re-arrangement was detected in eight cases (11.4%) including P2RY8-CRLF2 (n = 6), and IgH-CRLF2 (n = 2) with a median TSLPR positivity of 48.8% and 99% leukemic cells, respectively. Recurrent gene fusions/RGF (BCR-ABL1 (17.1%); ETV6-RUNX1 (4.2%), TCF3-PBX1 (1.4%)), other BCR-ABL1-like chimeric gene fusions/CGFs (PDGFRB-rearrangement (2.9%), IgH-EPOR (1.4%)), CRLF2 extra-copies/hyperdiploidy (17.1%), and IgH translocation without a known partner (10%) were also detected in TSLPR-positive patients. CD20 positivity (52.9% vs 38.5%; p = 0.02) as well as iAMP21 (4.3% vs 0.5%; p = 0.004) was significantly more frequent in TSLPR-positive cases. TSLPR-positive patients did not show a significantly higher MRD, compared to TSLPR-negative cases (37% vs 33%). Increasing the threshold cut-off (from ≥ 10 to > 50% or > 74%) increased the specificity to 88% and 100% respectively in identifying CRLF2 translocation. TSLPR expression is not exclusive for CRLF2 translocations and can be seen with various other RGFs, necessitating their testing before its application in diagnostic algorithms. In patients with high TSLPR positivity (> 50%), the testing may be restricted to CRLF2 aberrancies, while patients with 10-50% TSLPR positivity need to be tested for both CRLF2- and non-CRLF2 BCR-ABL1-like CGFs.

RESUMO

Methyl green (MG), a conventional, low-cost histological stain, was used to design a flow cytometric cell-cycle/DNA-ploidy assay. On fluorometry, MG absorbed maximally at 633-nm, showed negligible fluorescence in free-state, but emitted brightly when bound to DNA. Optimal dye and cell concentrations for staining and effects of time and photobleaching on stained cells were determined for a lyse-permeabilize-stain protocol. Linearity of DNA-binding, coefficients-of-variation of G0/G1-peaks and minimal carryover were confirmed. Assay results correlated highly with a propidium iodide-based kit in 29 acute lymphoblastic leukemia specimens. The MG-based DNA-ploidy assay represented an accurate and inexpensive alternative to conventional PI-based assays.
