Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Global Coagulation Balance of 57 Patients With Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Using the Thrombin Generation Assay
The purpose of this study is to investigate the coagulation balance in a cohort of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) patients using conventional tests combined with an integrated approach of their coagulation disorders in using TGA in the absence or presence of sTM. Thus, investigators aimed to define if the hemostatic balance in CDG patients, is preserved despite of combined deficiencies in both procoagulant and anticoagulant factors.
In CDG, coagulation abnormalities, affecting both pro and anticoagulant factors, could account for onset of acute microvascular events in these patients. In line with this hypothesis, a previous study reported a correlation between low activity of anticoagulant factors and thrombosis, although stroke-like episodes, the most frequent event, were not analyzed in this study. Moreover, the hemostatic balance is usually investigated by global coagulation tests such as the prothrombin time (PT) and the activated partial thromboplastin (aPTT). However, these tests have serious limitations. First, they explore only 5 % of the whole generated thrombin, enough to clot the plasma. In addition, global tests are insensitive to the coagulation inhibitors, especially the PC system which cannot be mobilized in the absence of thrombomodulin (TM). The thrombin generation assay (TGA), is also a global coagulation assay, but it allows exploration of the whole thrombin formation process from its generation to its inhibition. Moreover, combining different analytical conditions, all the anticoagulant systems could be investigated, including antithrombin in basal conditions and the PC system in the presence of soluble TM (sTM) ;
