“…3 Finally, these patients produce a broad spectrum of autoantibodies; neutralizing anti-cytokine antibodies directed against interferonα and IFNω has been reported, especially in patients with a history of varicella zoster virus infection. 60,62 Moreover, patients with hypomorphic RAG mutations may initially be given other diagnoses, including idiopathic CD4 + lymphopenia, 63 common variable immunodeficiency, 64,65 IgA deficiency, 66 selective deficiency of polysaccharide-specific antibodies, 67 hyper-IgM syndrome, 68 and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. 69 Although at least in some of these cases, the clinical and laboratory data were clearly suggestive of a combined immunodeficiency, the fact remains that these clinical examples have taught us how diverse is the clinical and immunological phenotype associated with hypomorphic RAG mutations.…”
