    1. Patient 1

      Case#: Case 1

      DiseaseAssertion: APDS

      FamilyInfo: no familial history of PID

      CaseHPOFreeText: He was referred to our hospital at the age of 2 years with recurrent bronchopulmonary infections, lymphadenopathy, hepato-splenomegaly, liver disease (elevated transaminases and portal septal fibrosis at liver biopsy). He had increased serum IgM levels (4.25g/L), normal IgG (5.7 g/L) and decreased IgA (0.65g/L) levels, compatible with the diagnosis of CSR-D. The CD40L and CD40 defects were excluded and intravenous IgG substitution was initiated. At 8 years of age, he developed a high grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, WHO classification) of biliary tract (Figure 1 a-c). In situ hybridization for Epstein Barr virus (EBV) was negative and Bcl-6 was expressed as shown by immunohistochemistry. The patient recovered after nine courses of chemotherapy (UKCCSG 9002 protocol; “see E3”). At 19 years of age, under IgG substitution, he again developed a high grade EBV(-) DLBCL of the colon, which was found to be Bcl-6 negative (Figure 1 d-f). He received CHOP (Cyclophophamide, vincristine, steroids) plus rituximab. He died from large bowel perforation and bleeding 12 days after the third course of chemotherapy.

      Case#: Case 2

      DiseaseAssertion: APDS

      FamilyInfo: no familial history of PID

      CaseHPOFreeText: belongs to a family in which two siblings were reported as suffering from a CSR-D (data from the affected sister P7 “see Tables E1 and E2”). From the age of 5 months, he suffered recurrent upper (recurrent acute otitis media) and lower respiratory tract infections complicated by bronchiectasis, chronic non-infectious diarrhea with malabsorption syndrom and failure to thrive. Other infections were also noticed, including pericarditis caused by Echo virus infection and recurrent synovitis. The diagnosis of CSR-D was made, according to his familial history and IgG substitution was started. At 6 and 8 years of age, he displayed episodes of massive enlargement of lymph nodes (cervical and mesenteric) with no malignant feature at biopsy. Serum Ig levels revealed an increase of IgM (4.5g/L at 5 years and 13g/L at 11 years) and a decrease of IgG (<1.9g/L) and IgA (0.41 g/L). At 11 years of age, he had a new episode of cervical lymph nodes enlargement which led to the diagnosis of Hodgkin disease, histological type nodular sclerosis, stage III with localization to cervical, mediastinum, retroperitoneum and spleen (EBV status was unknown and could not be studied retrospectively) (Figure 1 g-i). Patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy with irradiation of regions above and below diaphragma, which induced complete remission. He is now well on IgG substitution and prophylactic antibiotherapy with a follow-up of more than 10 years.

      Case#: 2 year old female

      DiseaseAssertion: APDS (She was diagnosed with polymorphous B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder)

      FamilyInfo: no family history suggestive of an immunodeficiency

      CaseHPOFreeText: referred by pulmonary to clinical immunology for evaluation of her recurrent pneumonias and bronchiectasis. Work-up at that time revealed IgA < 6 (34–305 mg/dL), IgG 30 (572–1,474 mg/dL), IgM 1190 (31–208 mg/dL). In addition to low levels of IgG and IgA but elevated IgM levels, immune evaluation revealed T and B cell lymphopenia −827 (876–3,394 CU MM) and 28 (200–1,259/CU MM), respectively. Her CD4 count was 331 (412–2,095/CU MM) and CD8 count was 481 (236–995/CU MM). She had a normal response to lymphocyte mitogen and antigen stimulation. Due to these results and her clinical history, she was started on intravenous immunoglobulin replacement which helped decrease her incidence of infections. As she grew older she began to have increased hospitalizations for hemolytic anemia and recurrent pneumonias and sinusitis. She also developed lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. She received rituximab with resultant improvement in her counts and decrease in size of her lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. She was also started on trimethoprim/sufamethoxazole prophylaxis to help prevent infections, and though she continued to have intermittent respiratory infections the amount was improved. In addition to asymmetrical cervical lymphadenopathy and parotid gland enlargement Figures 2A,B, a CT neck/chest/abdomen and pelvis done at that time showed mediastinal, hilar, abdominal, and pelvic lymphadenopathy, impressive retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and cecum and terminal ileum thickening Figures 2C,D.

      CasePreviousTesting: Genetic testing revealed no mutation in AID, UNG, CD40, or CD40L but later gene sequencing discovered a dominant activating mutation in PIK3CD–c.3061G > A (p.Glu1021Lys).

    1. Case Report

      Case#: 19 year old, Indian, male

      DiseaseAssertion: APDS

      FamilyInfo: Neither parent carried this mutation, suggesting a de novo origin.

      CaseHPOFreeText: referred for the evaluation of chronic active EBV disease. The patient’s medical history revealed congenital stenosis of the left bronchus, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and autism spectrum disorder with an IQ of 80–86. EBV seroconversion was identified at 7 years of age when the patient presented idiopathic abdominal lymphadenopathy. Furthermore, a previous laboratory examination revealed IgA deficiency and low IgG2 and IgG4 levels without an overarching diagnosis. Four months before presentation, the patient developed fatigue, fever, night sweats, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, hepatitis, weight loss of 10 kg, and lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1). Serum EBV copy numbers were repeatedly > 1500/mL. Histology of the three lymph nodes did not reveal any evidence of malignant lymphoma, but rather a markedly positive EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). Chronically active EBV was diagnosed, and rituximab therapy of 500 mg weekly during 4 weeks was initiated. A stable condition without any additional immunosuppressive drugs was achieved for 3 months after which he developed high spiking fever, pneumonia, progressive lymphadenopathy, severe unexplained cardiomyopathy with progressive anemia, thrombocytopenia, and hyperferritinemia (Table ​(Table1).1). Malignant lymphoma was excluded and hemophagocytosis was detected in the bone marrow (Fig. 3A, B). The patient therefore fulfilled six out of eight diagnostic HLH-04 criteria (Table ​(Table2)2) [7]. His clinical status quickly deteriorated, and he developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. Salvage therapy was initiated with high-dose steroids, sirolimus, and intravenous immunoglobulin. PI3K delta inhibitors were withheld due to heart and respiratory failure. Etoposide was withheld due to leucopenia and severe sepsis with systemic infection (hospital acquired pneumonia with H. influenza, not responding to treatment). Within 1 month, the patient died from cardiac failure with refractory pulmonary edema.

      Case#: 2 year old female, Albanian

      DiseaseAssertion: APDS

      FamilyInfo: The patient was the first of three children from a non-consanguineous family of Albanian origin

      CaseHPOFreeText: presented with recurrent otitis media, respiratory infections, persistent splenomegaly and nonmalignant lymphadenopathy. In the first year of life, she had recurrent episodes of wheezing associated with viral infections. In four occasions, she developed otitis media. Clinical evaluation at 17 months of age revealed splenomegaly suggesting Autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease (ALPS), but analysis of CD4 − /CD8 − /TCR alpha/beta + T cells was normal. In addition, bone marrow morphology and karyotype were normal. At the age of 21 months, the patient was hospitalized due to an additional episode of otitis caused by multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Since then, she suffered of recurrent otorrhea, due to Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis . Virological testing ( Table 1 ) revealed chronic low-level Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) viraemia characterized by EBV-DNA persistence and elevated anti-VCA IgM (total viral load ranging from negative to 506 copies/ml; VCA IgM ranging from 43 AU/ml to 186 AU/ml).

      SupplementalData:

    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.

      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. patient is the only daughter of non-consanguineous parents of Italian origin. At the age of 5 years, she had repeated episodes of hematochezia, which progressively evolved into chronic bloody mucous diarrhea lasting for over 4 weeks (9). When the girl was firstly evaluated at 5.5 years of age, physical examination was normal, and growth was regular. Her family and personal history were unremarkable, without any opportunistic or severe infection. Stool culture for bacteria and stool tests for viruses and parasites were negative. Fecal calprotectin showed repeatedly elevated results (>2,100 μg/g, normal value < 50 μg/g), while C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were normal. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) were negative. Sugar intestinal permeability was markedly altered (lactulose/mannitol ratio 0.09, normal value < 0.03). Upper and lower gastrointestinal digestive endoscopy showed numerous small nodules throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the rectum (Figures 1A–F), whose histopathologic features were consistent with the diagnosis of NLH (Figures 1G–I). No signs of chronic intestinal inflammation or autoimmune enteropathy, such as enterocyte apoptosis, were observed in the multiple biopsies taken at endoscopy.

    2. Whole-exome sequencing with phenotype-driven analysis was performed, focusing on genes primarily implicated in immunological diseases (11, 12), revealing the presence of the heterozygous variant p.Glu525Gly (c.1574A>G) in the PIK3CD gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of this variant, and segregation analysis demonstrated its de novo occurrence (Figures 2A,B). The variation affects the same codon of two previously reported PIK3CD variants causing APDS, namely, c.1573G>A, p.(Glu525Lys) and c.1573A>C, p.(Glu525Ala) (Figure 2C) (13, 14). It has not been identified previously, and it is absent from the largest allele frequency databases (gnomAD, EVS, and 1000 Genomes Project).
    3. The gain-of-function effect of the variant was confirmed by demonstration of over activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway in the patient's cells. APDS diagnosis led to treatment with sirolimus, which resulted in the complete remission of NLH and in the prevention of extra intestinal complications. In conclusion, we identify APDS as a novel cause of isolated NLH and suggest that patients with severe pan-enteric NLH should be screened for this disorder that may not be apparent on first-line immunological testing.

      CasePreviousTesting: The percentage of transendocytosis using either CD80-GFP or CD80-mScarlet CHO cells was determined in eight LRBA-deficient patients. No difference in the percentage of transendocytosis was observed between CTLA4-variant carriers (GFP median=5.4%; mScarlet median= 49.8%) and LRBA-deficient patients (GFP median=9.9%; mScarlet median, 48.6%). However, significantly lower percentages of transendocytosis were observed in LRBA-deficient patients compared to healthy donors (HD) when using CD80-mScarlet CHO cells (median, 48.6% vs. 65.5% in HD) (Fig. ​(Fig.4e),4e). This difference was not observed with CD80-GFP CHO cells (patients median of 9.9% in patients vs. 13.9% in HD). In conclusion, the CTLA4 transendocytosis method using CD80-mScarlet CHO cells enables the functional verification of LRBA deficiency, but it cannot differentiate between LRBA deficiency and CTLA4 insufficiency.

      CasePreviousTesting: The percentage of transendocytosis using either CD80-GFP or CD80-mScarlet CHO cells was determined in eight LRBA-deficient patients. No difference in the percentage of transendocytosis was observed between CTLA4-variant carriers (GFP median=5.4%; mScarlet median= 49.8%) and LRBA-deficient patients (GFP median=9.9%; mScarlet median, 48.6%). However, significantly lower percentages of transendocytosis were observed in LRBA-deficient patients compared to healthy donors (HD) when using CD80-mScarlet CHO cells (median, 48.6% vs. 65.5% in HD) (Fig. ​(Fig.4e),4e). This difference was not observed with CD80-GFP CHO cells (patients median of 9.9% in patients vs. 13.9% in HD). In conclusion, the CTLA4 transendocytosis method using CD80-mScarlet CHO cells enables the functional verification of LRBA deficiency, but it cannot differentiate between LRBA deficiency and CTLA4 insufficiency.

    1. Case 3 is a 10‐month‐old Japanese female born at 37 weeks of gestation with a birth length of 40.0 cm (−2.9 SD relative to the average for this gestational age) and birth weight of 1,676 g (−3.1 SD relative to the average for this gestational age) (Table 1). A clinical diagnosis of Silver‐Russell syndrome was tentatively made on the basis of IUGR and her distinctive facial features—including a pronounced forehead, triangular facial structure, and underdeveloped alae nasi (Figure 1c,d)—but no genetic testing was performed until the current evaluation. Her height and weight were 60.3 cm (−4.0 SD relative to the average for her age) and 4.01 kg (−7.6 SD relative to the average for her age), respectively, at the time of evaluation for the present study. She was suspected to have SHORT syndrome given that her father (case 4) manifested diabetes and facial characteristics consistent with this syndrome. Her fasting plasma glucose, serum IRI concentrations, and serum C‐peptide were 83 mg/dL, 2.6 μIU/mL, and 1.34 ng/mL, respectively, with an HbA1c level of 4.6%. Her HOMA‐IR was 0.53, and her HOMA‐β was 46.8%.

He was found to have glycosuria during a school urine test at the age of 12 years and started treatment with metformin for diabetes at 15 years. At the time of evaluation for the present study, he was taking an SGLT2 (sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitor in addition to metformin (1,500 mg/day). The addition of the SGLT2 inhibitor had reduced his glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level from ~8% to ~6%. His fasting plasma glucose, serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) concentrations, and serum C‐peptide at evaluation were 161 mg/dL, 35.8 μIU/mL, and 5.20 ng/mL, respectively. His HOMA‐IR was 14.2, and his HOMA‐β was 131.5%. He had a height of 163.4 cm (−1.2 SD) and weight of 38.5 kg (−2.7 SD), with a body mass index of 14.4 kg/m2 (−2.1 SD). He manifested facial characteristics of SHORT syndrome as well as adipose tissue atrophy in the upper body. He had hyperopic astigmatism and was diagnosed with anisometropic amblyopia at the age of 3 years. He had used an eye patch until the age of 8 years.
