Bleeding Disorders in Children With Genetic Diseases: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Aim The lack of data on bleeding risk assessment in children with genetic diseases is concerning given their increased care needs and risk of haemorrhagic complications compared to the general population. Identification of haemostatic disorders is crucial for implementing preventive measures and mitigating bleeding risk.

Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations
ABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life‐threatening, systemic inflammatory syndrome. Cases without an identifiable acquired trigger are referred to as secondary HLH. In this report, we describe the case of a 24 year‐old woman whose underlying cause of HLH was particularly difficult to determine.

Background Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS2) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease present with partial oculocutaneous albinism, nystagmus, prolonged bleeding time, and immunodeficiency. Case presentation We aimed at identifying a genetic

Tissue‐Resident Myeloid and Histiocytic Cells in Health and Disease: Novel Emerging Concepts
ABSTRACT Although all myeloid cells are considered to derive from hematopoietic stem cells, the cells in each myeloid lineage are heterogeneous populations, and their distribution and functions vary, depending on underlying physiologic and pathologic processes, age, sex, and genetic and epigenetic signatures.

Here, we present and characterize the spontaneous X-linked recessive mutation casper, which causes oculocutaneous albinism in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus).

Three Puerto Rican siblings with the Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome are described, and the literature on this syndrome is reviewed with regard to clinical factors, pathology, pathophysiology, and management of the disorder. The three patients all manifested oculocutaneous albinism and platelet storage pool disease with a moderate bleeding tendency.

The morphodynamical plasticity of the endolysosomal system supports the formation and function of specialized intracellular compartments, as exemplified by the pigment organelles in skin cells. In epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes, membrane trafficking and remodeling coordinate tissue pigmentation and protect the genome from photodamage ...

Prolonged treatment with open-label pirfenidone in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome pulmonary fibrosis
Purpose: Limited information is available regarding chronic treatment with pirfenidone, an anti-fibrotic drug. Effects of long-term open-label pirfenidone were evaluated in a small cohort with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), a rare autosomal recessive ...
