Definition / Description of Disease

TEMPI syndrome is an extremely rare blood disorder which involves multiple systems of the body. TEMPI syndrome stands for Telangiectasias, Erythropoiesis and elevated erythropoietin levels, Monoclonal gammopathy, Perinephric fluid collection and Intrapulmonary shunting.[1]

Synonyms / Terminology

TEMPI Syndrome

Epidemiology / Prevalence

TEMPI syndrome is a new disease entity. This term was coined in the year 2011. Prevalence is <1/106. The disease commonly occurs in 4th-5th decade of life. There is no sex, ethnic or geographical predilection[2]. Only 22[2] cases have been reported as of 2019 and only 10 cases have been included in the literature. TEMPI syndrome has been reported in 11 countries so far including USA, Sweden, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Germany.

Clinical Features

Renal manifestations- Nausea, flank pain, uncontrolled hypertension, fatigue, weight loss, hematuria, abdominal pain, hydronephrosis, hydroureter[3] and chronic renal insufficiency.[4]

Skin manifestations- Telangiectasias can lead to "web like appearance" of skin. "Red facies" because of increased RBCs[1]. Clubbing of fingernails[5]

Polycythemia- Fatigue, blurred vision, excessive sweating, headache.

Respiratory Failure- Presence of intrapulmonary shunting in TEMPI syndrome initially presents as dyspnea, hypoxia/hypoxemia leading to continuous oxygen requirement and ultimately respiratory failure.[6]

Thrombosis and intracranial bleeding- Spontaneous bleeding has been reported in some patients in absence of new blood vessel formations.[7]


Sites of Involvement

  • Kidney
  • Skin
  • Blood/lymph nodes- It has been reported that <10% of plasma cells are present in bone marrow, unlike MM. Erythropoietin levels are markedly increased in TEMPI syndrome patients.
  • Lung

Morphologic Features

Bone marrow biopsy- Plasma cell levels were approximately 10%. IgG κ is the most common monoclonal immunoglobulin reported in 6 out of 8 patients.[8] Erythroid hyperplasia with atypia and nuclear blebing. Vacuolization of plasma cells along with frayed of cytoplasm was noted. Lymphoid aggregates present without plasma cell rimming was reported.

Skin Biopsy for telangiectasia- dilated venules in histopathologic examination.

Erythropoietin levels- The titer can vary from 78mU/ml to 8144mU/ml. It is important to mention that hypoxemia driven erythropoiesis causes not more than 30mU/ml increase in erythropoietin levels.[8]

Kidney- Macroscopically, CT scan showed perinephric fluid collection between renal capsule and the kidney leading to compression of bilateral kidneys. No parenchymal cysts were reported.[9]

Pulmonary shunting- The extent of pulmonary shunting can be quantified using 99mTc macro-aggregated albumin scintigraphy. This is associated with decrease in resting oxygen saturation. This progresses to hypoxia and ultimately leading to use of supplemental oxygen.[2]

[10]Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns


TEMPI syndrome is a newly discovered disorder; therefore, nothing much is known about pathophysiology of the same. Supplemental pdf file attached in this research paper[10] demonstrates the involvement of possible genomic aberrations leading to development of TEMPI syndrome.

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Molecular basis of TEMPI syndrome was studied using WES (Whole-Exome Sequencing). 25 somatic exonic SNVs( Single Nucleotide Variations) were reported. 18 out of 25 SNVs were non-synonymous. These 18 SNVs resides on the following 17 genes.[10]

Other Mutations


Epigenomics (Methylation)

Molecular analysis in TEMPI syndrome showed involvement of chromosome2 and associated mutations. For example- deletion of 2p22.3-p15, duplication of 2p25.3-p22.3, inversion of 2p24.3-p22.3, 2q21.1. Chromosome 2 harbors important tumor genes as well. Therefore, it has be hypothesized that proximity of tumor associated genes and SVs can play a major role in the pathophysiology of TEMPI syndrome.

Tumor associated genes Location
MYCN 2p24.3
REL 2p16.1
BCL11A 2p16.1
BCL2L11 2q13
MAPK4 2p22.1
TP53I3 2p23.3

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Macrophage MIF (Migratory Inhibitory Factor)- Gene synthesizing MIF is located at 22q11.23. Duplication of 22q11.23 which has been demonstrated by TEMPI syndrome which may lead to increased expression of MIF mRNA by CD138+ PCs and MIF proteins in the bone marrow of patients of TEMPI syndrome.[10]

MIF Function- MIF is a proinflammatory cytokine which can act as an intracellular signaling molecule as well[11]. It plays a major role in neovascularization by inducing erythropoietin, VEGFs and hypoxia-inducible factor1a. The pathogenesis of intrapulmonary shunting and telangiectasias are considered to be vascular dilations and neovascularization which can be explained by secretion of MIF from monoclonal plasma cells.

Diagnostic Testing Methods

Monoclonal plasma cells from TEMPI syndrome and healthy donors(control) collected for WGS (Whole Genome Sequence) and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)

using Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. Following that, tumor cells can be isolated using CD138+ magnetic bead selection.

WES (Whole Genome Sequencing)
Sample Preservation- Preserved as dry pellets at -80o C
Extraction of DNA genome TIANamp Genomic DNA Kit (Tiangen)
Quality of DNA Nanophotometer
Quantity of DNA Qubit 3.0 flourometer


Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications) using


Diagnostic criteria for TEMPI syndrome[2]
MAJOR CRITERIA
  • Telangiectasias
  • EPO and erythrocytosis
  • Monoclonal gammopathy
MINOR CRITERIA
  • KIDNEY- PERINEPHRIC FLUID COLLECTION
  • LUNG- INTRAPULMONARY SHUNTING
OTHERS
  • VENOUS THROMBOSES


MANAGEMENT: It is important to mention here that because of rarity of TEMPI syndrome, most patients are treated empirically for Polycythemia Vera with phlebotomy, which ultimately leads to Iron deficiency anemia.


  • Proteasome Inhibitors- example- Bortezomib (8 cycles, 4 doses of 1.3 mg/m2BSA/cycle) was tried in one of the patients with TEMPI syndrome showed marked improvement in clinical presentations- with resolution of telangiectasias, improvement in intrapulmonary shunting and perinephric fat, normalization of erythropoietin levels as well. Drastic response with use of bortezomib indicates the pathophysiological role of IgG κ paraproteins in development of TEMPI syndrome.
  • No improvement was seen when other immunomodulators were used such as- Thalidomide, anti-VEGF (Bevacizumab) and immunosuppressants- Sirolimus.[9]

Familial Forms


Other Information

Differential Diagnosis of TEMPI Syndrome[12]

  • Polycythemia Vera- TEMPI syndrome's patients and PV patients both have increased RBC concentration. PV have + JAK2 V617F contrary to TEMPI syndrome which is negative for the JAK2 V617F.
  • POEMS syndrome- EPO levels are decreased in POEMS syndrome along with constellation of clinical features which are different from TEMPI syndrome. POEMS Syndrome
  • Multiple myeloma- Monoclonal plasma cells concentration in BM are much higher in MM (>10%) compared to TEMPI syndrome along with absence of CRAB(hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, bony lesions) features in TEMPI syndrome.
  • Schnitzler syndrome- This disorder is characterized by urticarial eruptions and neutrophilic urticarial dermatoses. Also, Plasma cells concentration in Bm aspirate is restricted to <5%.
  • Generalized essential telangiectasia
