ITK, predominantly expressed on T cells and myeloid cells, is a member of the Tec nonreceptor tyrosine kinase family. Both human ITK and mouse Itk genomic clones were isolated to assign the chromosome location. The human ITK gene was mapped to chromosome band 5q34 and the mouse gene to chromosome 15 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation has been implicated in the neuropathology of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Recently, the expression of interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) has been detected in brain microglia, regulating their inflammatory activities. However, the role of microglial ITK in TBI has not been investigated.

Introduction: Genodermatoses refer to a group of heterogenous rare genetic diseases with cutaneous expression. Several genodermatoses present with multisystem involvement that can range from mild to life-threatening conditions leading to increased morbidity and mortality.
Objective: Given the paucity in the literature in the field of genodermatoses, especially in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and building upon the first established genodermatoses database based in Lebanon, this study aimed to decipher the genetic basis of two different types of skin-inherited diseases (androgenic alopecia and vitiligo).

Immune dysregulation in Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) shows a broad phenotype, including autoimmune disorders, benign lymphoproliferation, and malignancies, driven by an increasing number of implicated genes. Recent findings suggest that childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) may exhibit immunological abnormalities potentially linked to an underlying IEI, along with a well-known increased risk of subsequent malignancies due to prior cancer treatments. We describe a patient with two composite heterozygous pathogenic variants in the interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase () gene and a history of multiple tumors, including recurrent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related nodular sclerosis and Hodgkin's lymphoma (NSHL), associated with unresponsive multiple hand warts, immune thrombocytopenia, and an impaired immunological profile (CD4+ lymphocytopenia, memory B-cell deficiency, reduction in regulatory T-cells, and B-cell- and T-cell-activated profiles).

Despite the revolutionary achievements of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in treating cancers, especially leukemia, several key challenges still limit its therapeutic efficacy. Of particular relevance is the relapse of cancer in large part, as a result of exhaustion and short persistence of CAR-T cells in vivo. IL-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) is a critical modulator of the strength of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, while its role in CAR signaling is unknown.

Background: Peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) represents a characteristic phenotype of intracranial gliomas. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the prognosis and mechanism of PTBE. In this study, clinical imaging data, along with publicly available imaging data, were utilized to assess the prognosis of PTBE in glioblastoma (GBM) patients, and the associated mechanisms were preliminarily analyzed.
