Torres VM, Saddi VA. Systematic review: hereditary thrombophilia associated to pediatric strokes and cerebral palsy. J Pediatr (Rio J) 2015; 91:22-9. [PMID: 25451211 DOI: 10.1016/j.jped.2014.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2014] [Revised: 07/25/2014] [Accepted: 08/06/2014] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review aimed to organize and consolidate the latest knowledge about mutations and genetic polymorphisms related to hereditary thrombophilia and their potential association with pediatric stroke and cerebral palsy (CP). SOURCES Scientific articles published from 1993 to 2013, written in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish, were selected and reviewed. The publications were searched in electronic databases, and also in the collections of local libraries. The terms "hereditary thrombophilia", "polymorphisms", "mutation", "pediatric strokes", and "cerebral palsy" were used for the research. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS The search in databases and in the bibliographic references retrieved 75 articles for inclusion in this review. Studies that investigated hereditary thrombophilias and their associations to CP and arterial and venous pediatric stroke presented contradictory results. The meta-analysis and case-control studies that showed positive results for this association described only slightly increased relative risks and sometimes had questionable conclusions. The association of two or more hereditary thrombophilias, or the association between thrombophilia and other specific clinical risk factors, suggest a higher risk of CP and pediatric stroke than isolated hereditary thrombophilia. CONCLUSIONS Larger, multicenter studies should be developed in order to elucidate the role of mutations leading to hereditary thrombophilia and the development of CP and pediatric stroke. The complex and multifactorial etiology of CP and stroke makes this an arduous and difficult task; however, the benefits generated by these studies are immeasurable.

Abstract
The severity of preoperative cerebral palsy appears to correlate directly with postoperative complications. The primary aim of this study was to characterize the frequency of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cerebral palsy patients undergoing anesthesia. This was accomplished by undertaking a systematic review of the Mayo Database. The risk for perioperative adverse events was 63.1% (95% confidence interval 59.8%-66.5%). However, it deserves clarification that hypothermia and clinically significant yet non-life-threatening hypotension represented the majority (80%) of these complications. When these 2 events are excluded, the rate of adverse perioperative events was 13.1% (95% confidence interval 10.8%-15.5%). Risk factors associated with increased risk included American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score exceeding 2, history of seizures, upper airway hypotonia, general surgery procedures, and adults. Our findings are useful to counsel patients with cerebral palsy, their caregivers, and their guardians regarding the risk of general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal diseases are the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of humans and a major cause of tooth loss. Inflammatory periodontitis is also a complex multifactorial disease involving many cell types, cell products and interactions. It is associated with a dysregulated inflammatory response, which fails to resolve, and which also fails to re-establish a beneficial periodontal microbiota. There is a rich history of biomarker research within the field of periodontology, but exemplary improvements in analytical platform technologies offer exciting opportunities for discovery. These include the 'omic technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, which provide information on global scales that can match the complexity of the disease. This narrative review focuses on the recent advances made in in vivo human periodontal research by use of 'omic technologies. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Medline database was searched to identify articles currently available on 'omic technologies with regard to periodontal research. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-one articles focusing on biomarkers of and 'omic advances in periodontal research were analysed for their contributions to the understanding of periodontal diseases. CONCLUSION The data generated by the use of 'omic technologies have huge potential to inform paradigm shifts in our understanding of periodontal diseases, but data management, analysis and interpretation require a thoughtful and systematic bioinformatics approach, to ensure meaningful conclusions can be made.

Abstract
Cerebral palsy has been associated with a number of candidate genes. To date, no systematic review has been conducted to synthesise genetic polymorphism associations with cerebral palsy. We apply the HuGE NET guidelines to search PubMed and EMBASE databases for publications investigating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cerebral palsy outcome. 22 papers were identified and are discussed in this review. Candidate genes were grouped as (1) thrombophilic, (2) cytokine, (3) apolipoprotein E or (4) other SNPs, largely related to cardiovascular physiology/pathophysiology and the functioning of the immune system. Of the studies identified, cohorts were usually small, without adequate control and ethnically diverse, making direct comparison between studies difficult. The most promising candidate genes include factor V Leiden, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, lymphotoxin-alpha, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, eNOS and mannose binding lectin. Large case-control studies are needed to confirm these candidates with attention given to cohort ethnicity, cerebral palsy subtype analysis and possible multiple gene and gene-environment interactions.

Abstract
Children with severe neurodevelopmental impairment are at risk for recurrent hypothermia, defined as a temperature of less than 35 degrees C, as a result of hypothalamic dysfunction. Acute pancreatitis following hypothermia from environmental exposure or induced as medical therapy has been reported in adults. In this case series of 10 children (six males, four females) with severe neurodevelopmental impairment and associated hypothermia, five had an episode of acute pancreatitis. These five patients had documented hypothermia, an elevated lipase of greater than 1000U/L, and presenting symptoms of irritability or lethargy along with gastrointestinal symptoms such as feeding intolerance. Four of these five children had no other explanation for pancreatitis; the fifth had multiple gallstones. This case series identifies the risk of acute pancreatitis in children with central hypothermia. Monitoring for resolution upon establishment of euthermia can minimize unnecessary testing and cost.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to investigate associations between inherited thrombophilic polymorphisms and cerebral palsy (CP) in a large case-control study. STUDY DESIGN This is a population-based case-control study. Genomic DNA from newborn screening cards of 443 white CP cases and 883 white controls was tested for factor V Leiden (FVL, G1691A), prothrombin gene mutation (PGM, G20210A), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and MTHFR A1298C. RESULTS MTHFR C677T was associated with an increased risk of developing any CP (32-36 weeks' gestation, homozygous odds ratio [OR] 2.55, 95% CI 1.12-5.74; heterozygous OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.01-3.66). MTHFR C677T was also associated with diplegia at both less than 32 weeks' gestation (homozygous OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.21-6.12) and all gestations (heterozygous OR 1.58 95%, CI 1.02-2.45). For children less than 32 weeks, FVL homozygosity may be associated with an increase in the risk of developing quadriplegia (OR 9.12, 95% CI 0.86-53.71). MTHFR A1298C (heterozygous) was associated with a reduced risk of diplegia developing at 32 to 36 weeks' gestation (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.02-0.70). There were no associations between any type of CP and thrombophilia for children born 37 weeks or greater. Heterozygous PGM and homozygous MTHFR C677T combined were associated with quadriplegia at all gestational ages (OR 5.33, 95% CI 1.06-23.25). CONCLUSION MTHFR C677T approximately doubles the risk of CP in preterm infants. A combination of homozygous MTHFR C677T and heterozygous PGM increases the risk of quadriplegia 5-fold at all gestational ages.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) was achieved for factor V Leiden-induced thrombophilia in a neonate with hepatic veno-occlusive disease. Initial LT was performed with a liver segment removed from a child with primary oxalosis. Four months later, a second, definitive LT was performed. The child remains well without recurrent thrombosis.

Abstract
Factor V Leiden (FVL) is the most common known inherited cause of thrombophilia; it is present in approximately 5% of the Caucasian population. Although the risk of venous thrombosis associated with this polymorphism in various medical settings is well described, its effect on perioperative risk is only beginning to be explored. Specifically, there are few studies addressing the potential risks of FVL in the surgical population, in which both hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications convey substantial clinical and economic significance. There are speculations and unproven hypotheses regarding FVL in this population, and these therefore highlight the need to comprehensively address this issue. This review will describe the physiology of the FVL mutation, briefly clarify its risk in the nonsurgical setting, and assess current data regarding FVL in noncardiac and cardiac surgery. Finally, a summary of current clinical evidence and a plan for more detailed investigation of this potentially significant risk factor will be proposed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cerebral palsy rates of 2 in every 1,000 births have varied little over the last 40 years, despite improvements in obstetric care. In the past, cerebral palsy was thought to be due to poor obstetric care and management; however, epidemiological studies have refuted this, suggesting that there is usually an antenatal timing to the neuropathology of cerebral palsy. There are many known risk factors for cerebral palsy, including multiple gestation, prematurity, and low birth weight. Recently, intrauterine infection, maternal pyrexia, and the presence of thrombophilic disorders (thrombophilia) have been identified as major risk factors for subsequent cerebral palsy. This review examines the links between intrauterine infection, the fetal inflammatory response, and thrombophilia as possible causes of cerebral palsy. The interactions of viral or bacterial infections during pregnancy, normal or abnormal fetal cytokine responses, and hereditary fetal thrombophilias as antenatal causes of the neuropathology of cerebral palsy are now areas of research priority. TARGET AUDIENCE Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians LEARNING OBJECTIVES After completion of this article, the reader will be able to describe the condition cerebral palsy, list the risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy, outline the ultrasound findings associated with cerebral palsy, and point out other conditions associated with cerebral palsy.

Abstract
Perinatal stroke has become increasingly recognized, but the incidence is probably underestimated because of variation in the presentation, evaluation, and diagnosis. Based on estimates from population-based studies of infants with seizures, perinatal stroke occurs in approximately 1 in 4000 term births. Most perinatal strokes involve the middle cerebral artery and are caused by thromboembolism from an intracranial or extracranial vessel, the heart, or the placenta. Cardiac disorders, coagulation abnormalities, and infection are risk factors for stroke in the perinatal period. This article discusses the epidemiology of ischemic stroke occurring in the perinatal and neonatal period, including cerebrovascular events that are diagnosed during the perinatal period and those diagnosed retrospectively, when evidence of hemiparesis or postneonatal seizures leads to later evaluation and neuroimaging.

Abstract
Since 1995, at least 128 children with a cerebrovascular disorder, cerebral palsy, or both and the factor V Leiden mutation have been reported. The majority of these strokes were in the first year of life, many of them in the perinatal period. Two thirds had an additional exogenous risk factor for thrombosis, and 42% had another recognized endogenous prothrombotic risk factor in combination with the mutation. We review the association of the factor V Leiden mutation and a cerebrovascular disorder in children younger than 16 years of age and describe the clinical features of 8 children with cerebral palsy and the Leiden mutation. This mutation should be considered in the evaluation of children with a stroke or its sequelae, including infants with perinatal stroke.
