IgG subclass deficiencies in children: Facts and fiction.

Pediatr Allergy Immunol

Department of Pediatric Pneumology, Immunology and Intensive Care Medicine, Charité University Medicine, Berlin, Germany.

Published: September 2017

The chance to analyse the four IgG subclasses arose with the publication of Terry and Fahey . Since then, a lot of new information on the role of subclasses and their deficiency states in humans has been obtained. This review tries to analyse critically our current knowledge of subclass deficiencies in children.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a class of hereditary metabolic diseases that demonstrate itself by accumulating incompletely degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). MPS are classified according to the kind(s) of stored GAG(s) and specific genetic/enzymatic defects. Despite the accumulation of the same type of GAG, two MPS diseases, Sanfilippo (MPS III) and Morquio (MPS IV), are further distinguished into subclasses based on different enzymes that are deficient.

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is more prevalent in populations with obesity. Obesity-related vitamin D deficiency may affect rates of multigland parathyroid disease, but this relationship is less clear. We aimed to assess the relationship between obesity and the rate of multigland disease in patients with PHPT.

The complex roles of myeloid cells, including microglia and perivascular macrophages, are central to the neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet they remain incompletely understood. Here, we profiled 832,505 human myeloid cells from the prefrontal cortex of 1,607 unique donors covering the human lifespan and varying degrees of AD neuropathology. We delineated 13 transcriptionally distinct myeloid subtypes organized into 6 subclasses and identified AD-associated adaptive changes in myeloid cells over aging and disease progression.

Background: Giant cell (gc)-enriched glioblastoma (gcGB) represents a distinct histological variant of isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type adult-type glioblastoma with notable enlarged mono- or multinuclear tumor cells. While some studies suggest a survival advantage for gcGB patients, the underlying causes remain elusive. GcGBs are associated with TP53 mutations, and gcs were shown to accumulate DNA double-strand breaks and show deficient mitosis, potentially triggering cellular senescence programs.

Background: Immunodeficiencies (IDs) are conditions caused by immune system dysfunctions which predispose to chronic infections. Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are characterized by the presence of bronchiectasis filled with hyper-viscous secretions that constitute the ideal environment for infections. Although CF and IDs might share similarities in the pathophysiological mechanism of bronchiectasis development, they each offer different treatment options.
