Successful Long-Term Correction of Autosomal Recessive Hyper-IgE Syndrome due to DOCK8 Deficiency by Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract: Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES), characterised by eczema, increased susceptibility to skin and lung infections, elevated IgE and skeletal abnormalities is associated with heterozygous STAT3 mutations. The autosomal recessive variant (AR-HIES) has similar immunological findings but mainly lacks extraimmune manifestations. Several AR-HIES patients have recently been shown to harbour mutations in the gene for dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8). Here, we present the long-term outcome of a girl havi… Show more

“…DOCK8 deficiency is associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality—including life-threatening infections and virus-driven malignancies—with an estimated overall survival of 50% at 20 years [3]. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents a curative therapy for DOCK8 deficiency [6-14]. …”
