Chromosome 18q deletion syndrome with autoimmune diabetes mellitus: putative genomic loci for autoimmunity and immunodeficiency

Abstract: A girl with 18q deletion syndrome was diagnosed with autoimmune diabetes mellitus and Hashimoto's thyroiditis at the age of 3 yr. In addition, the girl suffered from recurrent infections due to immunoglobulin A and IgG4 deficiency. She was also found to have CD3+CD4+FoxP3+, CD3+CD4+FoxP3+CD25+, and CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127 regulatory T cells deficiency. The exceptional coincidence of the two autoimmune disorders occurring at an early age, and associated with immune deficiency, implies that genes located on deleted 1… Show more

“…381 Some large-scale genetic deletions, such as 18q deletion syndrome, have been associated with IgA deficiency, sometimes in association with other abnormalities, such as IgG 4 deficiency, and autoimmune manifestations, such as diabetes or thyroiditis. 383 Summary statement 97. Patients with serum IgA levels of less than the normal range for age but greater than 7 mg/dL should not be given a diagnosis of IgA deficiency.…”

“… 11 Taking into account existence of numerous similar reports on autoimmune disorders, IgAD, as well as conversion of IgAD to more profound hypogammaglobulinemia in patients with 18q deletion, this is rather not a matter of coincidence, but a result of haploinsufficiency of certain genes located distally to 18q21. 5 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 13 …”

“…Autoimmune diseases are described in association with 18qDS, including AITDs, DMT1, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and pernicious anemia [113,166,167]. Possible explanations of the occurrence of autoimmune diseases in these subjects are the association between 18qDS and immunodeficits, such as IgA and Treg deficiency [113].…”
