haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, familial, type 1

(redirected from FHL1)

haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, familial, type 1

A rare autosomal recessive disorder (OMIM:267700) characterised by immune dysregulation with hypercytokinaemia, defective NK cell activity, and massive infiltration of several organs by activated lymphocytes and macrophages.

Clinical findings
Fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia; less commmonly, neurologic defects ranging from irritability and hypotonia to seizures, cranial nerve deficits and ataxia.

Molecular pathology
Thought to be caused defects in HPLH1, the HGNC-approved name for the putative gene on cytogenetic band 9q21.3-q22.

RT-PCR analysis for myogenic markers including paired box 7 (PAX7), myogenic factor 5 (Myf5), myogenin (MyoG), four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1), and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATcl) confirmed that horse muscle cells maintained myogenic features in vitro (Figure 2C).
In addition, other myoblast markers, Myf5, MyoD, MyoG, FHL1, and NFATcl, were expressed in horse muscle cells, indicating that the cell population possesses myogenic features observed in other mammals; however, further investigation is required (Figure 2C).
