Hyper-IgE syndrome and autoimmunity in Mexican children

Abstract: Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent skin abscesses, recurrent pneumonia with pneumatocele formation, eczema, eosinophilia, and elevated levels of serum IgE. Patients with the autosomal recessive (AR) form of HIES appear to be prone to developing autoimmune diseases. We present two cases of HIES with autoimmune complications; one case was a product of a consanguineous marriage, the other one was a sporadic case. The first patient presented with recurrent episodes o… Show more

“…Autoimmunity associated with AD-HIES has not been previously described in the literature, although a few cases are thought to exist (personal communication with Dr. Alexandra Freeman, NIH/ NIAID). Autoimmunity has more commonly been associated with dedicator of cytokinesis 8 gene (DOCK8) deficiency syndrome [36][37][38][39], and includes autoimmune hemolytic anemia and vasculitis.…”

“…Severe mutations in STAT3 presented slightly higher frequency of gastrointestinal and endocrine manifestations. Although the presence of these complications was reported before in AD‐HIES, special attention should be paid to differing them from presentation of STAT3 gain‐of‐function variants associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and lymphoproliferative disorders . Diminished T helper 17 (Th17) could be helpful for immunologic diagnosis of HIES patients; however, these data were only available in 6 STAT3‐deficient patients (all <0.5% of total CD4 + T cells) and none of DOCK8‐deficient patients limiting the subcohort analysis.…”

“…However, before molecular diagnosis of HIES was possible, 5 cases of HIES associated with SLE were reported; 3 cases are clinically compatible with an AD-HIES phenotype [14][15][16] and 1 case with a DOCK8 mutation. 17 For the last, there was insufficient clinical data to classify the case. 18 …”
