NIH Rare Diseases: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disorder that primarily affects children, but is also found in adults of all ages. People with LCH produce too many Langerhans cells or histiocytes, a form of white blood cell found in healthy people that is supposed to protect the body from infection. In people with LCH, these cells multiply excessively and build up in certain areas of the body, causing tumors called granulomas to form. The symptoms vary among affected individuals, and the cause of LCH is unknown. In most cases, this condition is not life-threatening. Some people do experience life-long problems associated with LCH.30
MalaCards: Langerhans-cell Histiocytosis, also known as histiocytosis x, is related to non-langerhans-cell histiocytosis and rosai-dorfman disease. An important gene associated with Langerhans-cell Histiocytosis is F13A1 (coagulation factor XIII, A1 polypeptide), and among its related pathways are all-trans-Retinoic Acid Mediated Apoptosis and Immune response_CD16 signaling in NK cells. The drug thalidomide and the compounds cyclophosphamide and ivig have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, lymph node and spleen, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Disease Ontology: A disease of metabolism and histiocytic and dendritic cell cancer and histiocytosis and interstitial lung disease that results in the proliferation of langerhans cells.6 Genetics Home Reference: Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a disorder in which excess immune system cells called Langerhans cells build up in the body. Langerhans cells, which help regulate the immune system, are normally found throughout the body, especially in the skin, lymph nodes, spleen, lungs, liver, and bone marrow. In Langerhans cell histiocytosis, excess immature Langerhans cells usually form tumors called granulomas. However, Langerhans cell histiocytosis is not generally considered to be a form of cancer.17 Wikipedia: Langerhans cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans...44 more... |
