Novel Mutation of ZAP-70-related Combined Immunodeficiency: First Case from the National Iranian Registry and Review of the Literature

Abstract: ZAP-70 deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive form of combined immunodeficiency (CID) characterized by selective absence of circulating CD8 T cells with low, normal, or increased CD4 T cells in peripheral blood. Up to now, 14 unique mutations in the ZAP70 gene have been identified in patients with ZAP-70-related CID. We present a 3-year-old boy with a history of recurrent bacterial infections and autoimmunity. Initial laboratory findings showed a normal total lymphocyte count, but low levels of CD8 and CD4 T… Show more

“…In contrast to the Iranian boy with the same missense mutation who suffered form autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia anemia (in supplemental Table 3), 52 our patient distinctly developed autoimmune hepatitis and transient gross hematuria (reversible gromerulonephritis) as well as hypogammaglobulinemia. These two boys also experienced IBD-like diarrhea.…”

“…This enzyme, phosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) stimulation, functions in the initial step of TCR-mediated signal transduction in combination with the Src family kinases, Lck and Fyn and plays an essential role in the process of thymocyte development [66]. In addition, mutations in this gene cause selective T-cell defect, a severe combined immunodeficiency disease characterized by a selective absence of CD8-positive T-cells [67]. Leite et al investigated the expression of ZAP70 in cows naturally infected with MAP and revealed that the surface expression of ZAP70 was decreased in CD4+ T cells of both subclinical and clinical animals indicating a change in T cell phenotype with disease state [68].…”

“…These individuals suffer from recurrent life-threatening infections, usually early in life, and require hematopoietic cell transplantation to survive (142). Other less common clinical manifestations of ZAP-70 deficiency include skin infiltration with dysfunctional CD4 + T cells (143), elevated serum IgE and eosinophilia (143)(144)(145)(146), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (147), idiopathic thrombocytopenia (148,149), colitis (148,150), congenital nephrotic syndrome, and brain infarcts (151).…”
