Paternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 6 causing a complex syndrome including complete IFN‐γ receptor 1 deficiency

Abstract: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency associated with clinical disease caused by weakly virulent mycobacterial species. Interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFN-γR1) deficiency is a genetic etiology of MSMD. We describe the clinical and genetic features of a seven-year-old Italian boy suffering from MSMD associated with a complex phenotype, including neonatal hyperglycemia, neuromuscular disease, and dysmorphic features. The child also developed necrotizing pneumon… Show more

“…Four autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiencies caused by UPD have been reported to date, including Chediak-Higashi syndrome (chromosome 1), cartilage hair hypoplasia (chromosome 9), perforin deficiency (chromosome 10), and IFN-g receptor 1 deficiency (chromosome 6). 20 The immunologic phenotype of the LCK-deficient patient reported here resembles that of lck 2/2 mice, with T-cell lymphopenia, low levels of CD4 and CD8 expression at the cell surface, and a lack of response to TCR activation. 17 Lck has been shown to play a key role in the initiation of TCR signaling after the recognition of MHC-peptide molecules.…”

“…Although UPD has been implicated in the development of a number of inherited syndromes, it is not widely considered as an inheritance mechanism and has only been described in isolated cases of five other primary immune-deficiency syndromes, including C4 deficiency (22), cartilage-hair hypoplasia without associated SCID (23), Chediak-Higashi syndrome (24), familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (25), and IFN-γ receptor 1 deficiency (26). Disease in our patient was because of isodisomy of Chr 1, and of the 23 other reported cases of this type of UPD (27), only one was associated with immune deficiency (24).…”

“…Two genetic forms of AR complete IFN-γR1 deficiency have been described, with [46, 53, 84, 85] or without surface expression of the receptor [37, 46, 48, 50, 65, 66, 86101] (Table 1). A case of paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6, including IFNGR1, has been described in a patient with mycobacterial infectious disease and a complex phenotype including neonatal hyperglycemia, neuromuscular disease, and dysmorphic features [88]. The cellular phenotype of AR complete IFN-γR1 deficiency is characterized by a lack of response to IFN-γ in vitro , in terms of IL-12p70 production by leukocytes, gamma-activating factor (GAF: STAT1 homodimers) DNA-binding activity in Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastic (EBV-B) cell lines, or HLA-II induction in fibroblasts [14, 46, 65, 84, 102, 103].…”
