What is HLH in medical terms?

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also known as haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (British spelling), and hemophagocytic or haemophagocytic syndrome, is an uncommon hematologic disorder.

What are the clinical indicators of HLH?

Manifestations include pancytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, low albumin, and elevated inflammatory markers including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate, or ESR), c-reactive protein (CRP), and ferretin. D-dimer may be elevated and fibrinogen low, suggesting a clotting abnormality as well. Definitive diagnosis of primary HLH requires molecular identification of genetic abnormalities; secondary HLH can be confirmed through bone marrow biopsy, measures of white blood cell activity, or assessment of Interleukin-2 (IL-2), none of which are commonly found within the medical record.

What is HLH in biology?

HLH is a life-threatening manifestation of an uncontrolled inflammatory response. There are inherited and acquired forms. Inherited (primary) HLH is a result of a genetic mutation that weakens the ability of the immune system to kill invaders; acquired (secondary) forms may be provoked from certain viruses (Epstein-Barr virus is the classic association), immunosuppressive drugs or conditions, and cancer chemotherapy. The basic mechanism is that as the white cells are unable to fight infection properly, there is no signal to the body that the infection is contained, and the inflammatory process should be checked. The unrelenting rush of inflammatory mediators provokes a “cytokine storm.”

What is the genetic cause of HLH?

Inherited (primary) HLH is a result of a genetic mutation that weakens the ability of the immune system to kill invaders; acquired (secondary) forms may be provoked from certain viruses (Epstein-Barr virus is the classic association), immunosuppressive drugs or conditions, and cancer chemotherapy.

What is the H score?

Fardet L, Galicier L, Lambotte O, et al. Development and Validation of the H Score, a Score for the Diagnosis of Reactive Hemophagocytic Syndrome. Arthritis and Rheumatology 2014; 66 (9):2613-30.

Expected Turnaround Time

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Container

Lavender-top (EDTA) tube, OCD-100 DNA Genotek device only, or extracted DNA

Storage Instructions

Blood: Ship ASAP, but stable up to 5 days post-collection at room temperature. Do not freeze. Swab: 60 day post-collection at room temperature. DNA: Ship at room temperature after extraction.

Causes for Rejection

Frozen blood EDTA tube; insufficient swab cell collection or incorrect oral swab device use; extracted DNA A260:A280 ratio outside of 1.8-2.0 range

Limitations

The assay will not consistently detect germline mosaicism below 50% or rule out the presence of large chromosomal aberrations, including rearrangements, inversions that do not change copy number of genomic regions. The assay does not detect repeat expansions. Possible intergenic variant interactions are not commented on.

Methodology

Nuclear Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Small Indel Sequencing Assessment: Genomic regions of interest are selected using a custom capture reagent for target enrichment (Twist Bioscience) and sequenced via the Illumina® Novaseq 6000 next generation sequencing platform.
