AI Article Synopsis

  • Recent research shows that a specific gene deficiency is linked to inflammation and cell death, leading to impaired proinflammatory signaling.
  • A Chinese patient with combined immunodeficiency exhibited symptoms like recurrent infections and diarrhea starting at three months old, along with significant decreases in T, B, and NK cells.
  • Whole-exome sequencing revealed novel compound heterozygous mutations in this gene from both parents, contributing to a new understanding of the patient's condition and the gene's role.

Article Abstract

Accumulating evidence indicates that is associated with inflammation and apoptotic. deficiency leads to proinflammatory signaling impaired. However, only few patients with homozygous loss-of-function mutation in gene had been reported until now. Here, we report a Chinese combined immunodeficiency patient. He had recurrent infection, diarrhea after 3 months old. Immune function indicated that T, B and NK cells decreased significantly but immunoglobulins approximately remained normal. Whole-exome sequencing indicated that he had novel compound heterozygous mutations (c.998 C > A from his mother and c.1934 C > T from his father) in gene, which were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Our study reports novel mutations in gene and new phenotype of patient with deficiency.
