Description
Only a dozen patients have been reported to date with this condition. Keller et al. (2016) identified one family with 3 members affected by common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Patients presented with a history of recurrent sinopulmonary infections since early childhood, hypogammaglobulinemia with undetectable IgG and IgA, impaired vaccine responses, and decreased levels of switched memory B cells. Two of these patients were also affected by autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes and psoriasis, respectively. More recently, two additional studies reporting LOF mutations have been published (PMID: 34451894, 33864888). Palmroth et al. (2021) reported a patient with a similar but more inflammatory phenotype than those reported by Keller et al in 2016. This subject showed increased protein levels, constitutive phosphorylation of STAT5 in CD4 T cells, and increased constitutive activation of STAT1 with upregulated JAK-STAT signalling and expression of interferon-inducible genes. Baxter et al. (2022) reported a young girl with chronic diarrhea, severe eczema, anemia, failure to thrive, fevers, short stature, recurrent infections, cataracts, hypodontia, hypotrichosis alopecia, and hypogammaglobulinemia. In 2023, another study reported 5 additional cases, 3 of them diagnosed with CVID, who carried presumed LOF frameshift variants (PMID:37876937).
Management
Antiinfectious prophylaxis and early and aggressive treatment of infections may be beneficial. Refs. PMIDs: 27016798
