a, The number of patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF variant and manifestations of viral diseases as a function of their AAN-I-IFN status. b, Clinical and immunological manifestations in patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF variant, as a function of their AAN-I-IFN status. Autoimm., autoimmunity; ecto. dyspl., ectodermal dysplasia; hypogam., hypogammaglobulinaemia; hypox., hypoxaemic; rec., recurrent; RTI, recurrent bacterial respiratory tract infection. c, Chord diagram of the main clinical and immunological manifestations of patients with inborn errors of NF-κB2. d, Anti-IFNα-2 IgG detection by Gyros in positive control individuals (n = 10), healthy control individuals (n = 7), patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF (n = 9), p52LOF/IκBδLOF (n = 2), p52GOF/IκBδLOF (n = 2) or neutral (n = 2) NF-κB2 variant and COVID-19, as a function of disease severity. e, Heat map showing the type I IFN neutralization profile of unvaccinated patients during COVID-19, according to disease severity and clinical presentation during infection, including patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF (n = 9), p52GOF/IκBδLOF (n = 2) or p52LOF/IκBδLOF (n = 2) variant. The red squares indicate a complete neutralization ability of the plasma for ISRE induction in the luciferase reporter assay system, and the white squares indicate a total absence of neutralizing autoantibody detection in the ISRE–luciferase assay. f, The viral load and IFN score in nasal swabs over the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF variant (n = 2) with AAN-I-IFNs, and in vaccinated individuals with a mild disease and no AAN-I-IFNs (n = 4). g, The IFN score and viral load in whole blood (left) or nasal swabs (right) over the course of SARS-CoV2 infection in patients with a p52LOF/IκBδGOF variant with AAN-I-IFNs (n = 2), or in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 presenting only mild disease (n = 36). The vertical arrows indicate the times of recombinant human IFNβ (rhIFNβ) injection and the arrowheads indicate the infusion of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
