Jordans' Anomaly
Jordans' anomaly (also known as Jordan anomaly and Jordans bodies) is a familial abnormality of white blood cell morphology. Individuals with this condition exhibit persistent vacuolation of granulocytes and monocytes in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. Jordans' anomaly is associated with neutral lipid storage diseases. Genetics Jordans' anomaly is a characteristic finding in Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome and other neutral lipid storage diseases. The anomaly is associated with mutations in the ''PNPLA2'' gene, which produces the enzyme adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), and the ''ABHD5'' gene, which encodes a cofactor of ATGL. These mutations lead to defective triglyceride breakdown and accumulation of lipid droplets in cells throughout the body. Histopathology The vacuoles of Jordans' anomaly contain neutral lipids that stain positive with Sudan staining techniques. History The anomaly was first described in 1953, by Dr. G. H. Jordans, who identified abnormal vacuolation in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
