Inheritance
Treatment
VHL mutation --> upregulation of hypoxic response with normal O2 --> incr EPO --> polycythemia
Low hepcidin (body wants to take in more iron)

deletion 7q is unfavorable
True
Lenalidomide
types of vWD
1 -- quantitative
1c -- increased clearance
2 - qualitative
2A --> Abnormal multimers
2B --> Binds Platelets
2M --> Has multimers
2N --> No Factor VIII
3 --> absence
Myelofibrosis IPSS score
Age > 65
Symptoms
Hb <10 (2 points) WBC >25k
Circulating blasts>1
0 - low
1-2 - intermediate 1
3-4 - intermediate 2
5-6 - high risk -- straight to allo
Unfavorable karyotype: 8, 7q, i17q, -5, 12q, inv3, 11q23
ASXL, EXH2, SRSF1, IDH1/2
T/F
PBSCT → Higher GvHD, lower graft failure
Bone Marrow → Higher graft failure, lower GvHD
True
Hypereosinophilic Syndrome diagnosis and treatment

FIPL1/PDGFRA mutation (5q33)
Hydrea/IFNa/Alemtuzumab/Jak inh/Imatinib
acquired vWD
Acquired vWD causes:
MGUS
Hypothyroidism (lack of synthesis, T1)
Myeloproliferative dx → sticky plt
Valvular → shearing – Heyde’s syndrome
LVAD
Wilms tumors
SOS/VOD criteria, ppx and treatment
T bili >2
hepatomegaly/RUQ pain
Sudden wt gain >2% from baseline
First 21days after HSCT
Ursodiol/defibrotide
Factor replacement for Hemophilia A and B
1 iu/kg increases fviii level by 2% --> goal 100%
Hemophilia B 1:1 ratio --> goal 50%
List side effects for:
Imatinib
Desatinib
Bosutinib
Ponatinib
Desatinib →pleural effusions, pancytopenia
Bosutinib → diarrhea
Ponatinib → high rate arterioocclusive events start at 45mg
Target Ferritin for hemochromocytosis
<50 with phlebotomy
<1000 with chelation
Myeloid Sarcoma treatment
AML
Chediak Higashi
LYST or CHS1 gene mut. Plt storage defect. Thrombocytopenia + anemia + neutropenia. BMbc MPO inclusions in neutrophils.
Oculocutaneous Albinism or immune deficiency – high mortality rate. Steroids, splenectomy, ASCT
Large, fused azurophilic granules on the smear in granulocytes
How to manage inhibitors in hemophilia A
If <5 bethesda units, can still be managed with factor replacement, if >5, cannot
Can use steroids to get rid of inhibitor – respond well if <20 units
If titers >20, need to add cyclophosphamide. Rituximab as 2nd line.
Who should get washed and who should get irradiated prbcs?
Washed: IgA deficiency, PNH, severe reactions
Irradiated: Severe immunodeficiencies, stem cell transplant, familial transfusions (HLA)
