    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.

    1. and he was placed on regular intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement therapy. During follow-up,due to his syndromic physical features, speech delays, and delayed teething, we investigated the underlyinggenetic cause of his agammaglobulinemia. Molecular analysis revealed a rare, novel homozygous variantc.244dup in the PIK3R1 gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with both SHORT syndrome andautosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia as separate clinical entities. Our patient exhibits clinical andlaboratory findings consistent with both SHORT syndrome and agammaglobulinemia due to this novelmutation

      Case#: male, onset at or before age 12 months, ethnicity not specified DiseaseAssertion: Patient is asserted to have both "SHORT syndrome" and "X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA)" due to "absence of peripheral B cells" and "features of SHORT syndrome such as hyperextensibility, vision abnormalities, lack of fat tissue, triangular face, extroverted ears, ocular depression, [and] developmental and teething delay" CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0000974 (Hyperextensible skin), HP:0000504 (Abnormality of vision), HP:0005320 (Lack of facial subcutaneous fat), HP:0000325 (Triangular face), HP:0000430 (Underdeveloped nasal alae), HP:0000490 (Deeply set eye), HP:0000750 (Delayed speech and language development), HP:0002719 (Recurrent infections), HP:0030084 (Clinodactyly), HP:0045075 (Sparse eyebrow), HP:0000540 (Hypermetropia), HP:0000696 (Delayed eruption of permanent teeth) CaseHPOFreeText: A current 9 year old was diagnosed with XLA with SHORT at age 15 months after presenting with skin lesions, scrotal swelling and ulcers along with recurring upper and lower tract infections after 6 months of age. Evaluations for immunodeficiencies were performed. Basic immunoglobulin levels and lymphocyte subsets were measured, which suggested an XLA diagnosis. Delays in developmental milestones observed by the mother and physical examination suggested SHORT syndrome. CaseNotHPOs: HP:0000558 (Rieger anomaly), HP:0000364 (Hearing abnormality) GenotypingMethod: Genotyping was performed by whole exome sequencing, whivh revealed a novel pathogenic homozygous frameshift mutation in the PIK3R1 gene.
