X-linked moesin-associated immunodeficiency (X-MAID) is a recently identified combined immunodeficiency caused by a mutation in the moesin () gene. It is characterized by cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, poor immune response to vaccine antigens, and increased susceptibility to early-life infections. We report a patient with adult-onset neutropenia, lymphopenia, inadequate response to the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), and recurrent bacterial infections associated with a hemizygous deletion.

Fetal Tetra-Amelia Birth: A Case Report.

Case Rep Obstet Gynecol

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jimma University School of Medicine, Jimma, Ethiopia.

Fetal limb anomaly presentation varies greatly. It can present as amelia (complete absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), meromelia (partial absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), phocomelia (only rudimentary limb formed), and minor limb disorders like polydactyly. The complete absence of the four fetal limbs is extremely rare.

Objective: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two children diagnosed with two rare genetic diseases simultaneously.

Methods: Two children with comorbidity of two genetic diseases due to dual genetic mutations diagnosed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University respectively in May 2022 and March 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical and genetic data of the two children were retrospectively analyzed.

A Patient With NEMO Deficiency, Disseminated M. szulgai, and Post-HSCT Inflammatory Disease.

Pediatr Transplant

February 2025

Division of Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.

Background: Disseminated mycobacterium poses a significant risk for patients with NEMO deficiency. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) corrects the NEMO defect in hematopoietic cells thus treating the immunodeficiency.

Methods: We present a patient with NEMO deficiency who successfully underwent HSCT despite a disseminated Mycobacterium szulgai infection.

Wieacker-Wolff syndrome (WRWF) is an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by neuromusculoskeletal abnormalities caused by loss-of-function variants of the gene. Here, we report the case of a male infant with WRWF manifesting as multiple joint contractures and congenital anomalies at birth. He underwent gastrostomy to treat the gastroesophageal reflux disease, which caused mixed apnea and transient bradycardia.
