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.
