Absence or low individual and public risk
Genetic anomalies of leukocytes - what does this mean
Genetic anomalies of leukocytes occur when there is an abnormal change in the dna of the white blood cells, which can be caused by a variety of genetic mutations, such as chromosomal rearrangements, gene deletions, or gene amplifications. these changes can lead to the development of various diseases, such as chronic myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
What happens during the disease - genetic anomalies of leukocytes
Genetic anomalies of leukocytes are caused by mutations in the genes responsible for the development and function of leukocytes. these mutations can lead to abnormal leukocyte production, impaired leukocyte function, and/or an increased susceptibility to infection. the resulting abnormal leukocyte production and/or function can lead to a range of clinical symptoms, such as recurrent infections, fatigue, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the number of genetic anomalies of leukocytes.
- Administer drugs to suppress the activity of leukocytes.
- Perform genetic testing to identify the specific genetic anomaly.
- Undergo bone marrow transplantation.
- Administer drugs to stimulate the production of healthy leukocytes.
- Replace abnormal leukocytes with healthy ones.
- Perform gene therapy to correct the genetic mutation.
- Monitor the patient's response to treatment.
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Genetic anomalies of leukocytes - Prevention
Genetic anomalies of leukocytes can be prevented through genetic counseling, pre-conception screening, and prenatal testing. genetic counseling can help couples understand their risks and make informed decisions about their reproductive options. pre-conception screening can detect carriers of genetic anomalies and prenatal testing can identify affected fetuses. additionally, avoiding environmental toxins, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining an active lifestyle can help reduce the risk of genetic anomalies.
