Table 4. Other defects in downstream TCR signalling, cytoskeleton activation and immune synapse formation [3, 19, 21, 22].

Disease OMIM Gene Inheritance Phenotype
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome #301000 WAS XL (LOF) Onset: early childhood with the classic triad:
– Thrombocytopenia (pathognomonic small mean platelet volume (< 5 fL))
– Recurrent severe infections (impetigo, cellulitis, skin abscesses, molluscum contagiosum; Herpesviruses, including herpes simplex and varicella-zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus)
– Eczema, often unresponsive to conventional treatment.

– Early death may result from bleeding.
– Autoimmunity and malignancy more common with increasing age.
– Milder phenotype: X-linked thrombocytopenia without eczema or immunodeficiency.
WIP deficiency #614493 WIPF1 AR (LOF) – WAS-like presentation, but very early onset of a severe immunodeficiency
NCKAP1L deficiency (HEM-1 hematopoietic protein 1) #618982 NCKAP1L AR (LOF) – Atopic disease and hyperinflammation, chronic hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy
– Recurrent fever and upper respiratory tract infections, skin rashes, abscesses, ulcers, autoimmune manifestations and FTT
DOCK8 deficiency #243700 DOCK8 AR (LOF) – Extensive, disfiguring, concurrently occurring cutaneous viral infections, particularly HSV, human papillomavirus, molluscum contagiosum and varicella-zoster virus.
– Invasive infections (wide spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses and intracellular fungi, e.g., histoplasma capsulatum).
– Mucocutaneous candidiasis and recurrent gastro-intestinal tract infections are common.
– Severe and extensive food allergies.
– High risk of developing malignancies, particularly lymphomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
CARMIL2 (RLTPR) deficiency #618131 CARMIL2 AR (LOF) – Onset early infancy;
– Atopic and seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis-like rashes.
– Viral (EBV, CMV, and varicella), bacterial, mycobacterial and fungal infections
– Early or very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD)
– Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome (APS)
– Characteristic feature is EBV-associated leiomyoma (<20% of cases)
STK4 deficiency #614868 STK4 AR (LOF) – Onset at school age
– Infections (cutaneous viral infections, recurrent pneumonia, EBV-associated lymphoproliferation)
– Autoimmune or inflammatory diseases and atopic dermatitis/atopy
TBX21 deficiency
(T-bet, T-box transcription factor 21)
#619630 TBX21 AR (LOF) – Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD)
– Persistent upper airway inflammation
Moesin-associated immunodeficiency (X-MAID) #300988 MSN XLR (LOF) – Skin manifestations, mainly eczema, molluscum contagiosum and increased susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections and VEOIBD

XL = X linked; LOF = loss of function; AD = autosomal dominant; AR = autosomal recessive; XLR = X-linked recessive; WAS = Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome; FTT = failure to thrive; HSV = Herpes simplex virus; EBV = Ebstein-Barr virus; CMV = cytomegalovirus; VEOIBD = very early onset inflammatory bowel disease.
