Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on a case involving a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and subsequent severe immune deficiency due to a homozygous mutation in the LRBA gene, which is crucial for immune regulation.
  • The patient showed various symptoms, including massive splenomegaly, portal hypertension, and a rare type of cystitis associated with mast cells, indicating a complex clinical presentation.
  • This case emphasizes the importance of understanding LRBA's role in immune function and the diverse clinical manifestations linked to its deficiency.

Human Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs) encompass a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, ranging from mild cases to severe, life-threatening types. Among these, Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRDs) constitute a subset of IEIs characterized by diverse clinical phenotypes, prominently featuring severe atopy, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, hyperinflammation, autoinflammation, and susceptibility to malignancies. According to the latest report from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), PIRDs arise from mutations in various genes including LYST, RAB27A, AP3B1, AP3D1, PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, FAAP24, SLC7A7, RASGRP1, CD70, CTPS1, RLTPR, ITK, MAGT1, PRKCD, TNFRSF9, SH2DIA, XIAP, CD27 (TNFRSF7), FAS (TNFRSF6), FASLG (TNFSF6), CASP10, CASP8, FADD, LRBA, STAT3, AIRE, ITCH, ZAP70, TPP2, JAK1, PEPD, FOXP3, IL2RA, CTLA4, BACH2, IL2RB, DEF6, FERMT1, IL10, IL10RA, IL10RB, NFAT5, TGFB1, and RIPK1 genes.

Purpose: Primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID) is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by immune dysregulation and increased susceptibility to infections, with various cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social effects on patients. This study aimed to evaluate loneliness, social adaptation, anxiety, and depression and to identify associated factors in adults with immunodeficiency.

Methods: A cross-sectional study in Turkey (Feb-Aug 2022) obtained sociodemographic data from patient records.

Background: Patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have an increased incidence of pulmonary infections and require frequent follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with CVID.

Material And Methods: In this prospective study, 3-T MRI was performed in 20 patients with CVID.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) has a heterogenous clinical presentation and can be challenging to diagnose. Distinct histologic changes have been linked with CVID in several organ systems, which can help identify the correct diagnosis. In this study we review a cohort of hepatic CVID biopsies, to better define the spectrum of histologic and biochemical alterations.
