    1. We conducted WGS on a 20-year-old Spanish proband (only child), who exhibited classical symptoms of IDAIL, including early-onset type 1 diabetes (diagnosed at 15 months old), severe enteritis, genital vitiligo and atopic dermatitis. Throughout his childhood, he faced recurrent respiratory infections, including pneumonia, alongside pronounced reactive hypereosinophilia, which constituted up to approximately 65% of total peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at times. Notably, at the age 13, he experienced severe diarrhea and ascites, accompanied by eosinophil infiltration in the esophagus, stomach, and bone marrow. Medical investigations revealed a clonal γδ T cell band, characterized as reactive, with subsequent exclusion of FIP1L1-PDGFRA and PDGFRB rearrangements, as well as any abnormal karyotype. Over time, he developed esophageal candidiasis and sepsis due to Salmonella typhi and Clostridium difficile infection, which was accompanied by a gradual development of hypogammaglobulinemia. A complete clinical case description is included in the Supplementary Materials.Bioinformatic analysis revealed a known pathogenic maternally inherited missense variant in CTLA4, c.208C>T p.R70W, confirmed by Sanger sequencing (Fig. 1, A to D). This heterozygous variant has been previously reported to be causative of CTLA4-h with incomplete penetrance (1, 2). The R70W variant was also present in the patient’s mother who had been diagnosed with mild sarcoidosis, dysphagia with eosinophilic infiltrates of esophagus, low IgM, and decreased percentages of memory B cells.

      Case#: 20-year-old Spanish man

      DiseaseAssertion: Immune dysregulation with autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and lymphoproliferation

      FamilyInfo: Maternally inherited CTLA4 variant and paternally inherited CLEC7A variant. Patient's mother had been diagnosed with mild sarcoidosis, dysphagia with eosinophilic infiltrates of esophagus, low IgM, and decreased percentages of memory B cells.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Type 1 diabetes was diagnosed at 15 months old. Patient has a history of severe enteritis. Investigations, which were undertaken due to hypereosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration, revealed a clonal γδ T cell band, characterized as reactive, with subsequent exclusion of FIP1L1-FDGFRA and PDGFRB rearrangements, as well as any abnormal karyotype. Sepsis was due to Salmonella typhi and Clostridium difficile infection.

      Article provides functional evidence of CLEC7A variant affecting phenotype of this patient. Their data suggest that partial loss of DECTIN-1 in a patient with CTLA-4h may enhance IDAIL penetrance and confer additional unique phenotypes, with persistent marked hypereosinophilia as the most remarkable uncommon clinical manifestation.

      Variant: de novo heterozygous c.71_72del (p.Leu24Profs*35) in exon 1 (NM_005214.5:c.71_72del)

      ClinVarID: 1439020

      CAID: CA2573320555

      gnomAD: not reported

      SupplementalData: n/a

      MultipleGeneVariants: A heterozygous variant in PLCG2 (c.802C>T, p.Arg268Trp) detected (ClinVarID:403319, CAID:CA8193460). It is not usually reported in the panel. The authors ruled it out because the variant was found in 5 of 66 patients with disseminated coccidiomycosis in PMID:PMC7776098. The variant has been associated with autoimmune diseases according to OMIM. It is present in gnomAD (MAF: 0.101, Ashkenazi Jewish). It has been classified as benign in ClinVar.

      DiseaseAssertion: CTLA4 haploinsifficiency

      FamilyInfo: Mutation inherited from father, who had melanoma and was asymptomatic for autoimmunity. Paternal first cousin had type-1 diabetes. Mother and brother had no autoimmune symptoms to report.
