Combined immune deficiency in a patient with a novel NFKB2 mutation.

ABSTRACT: NFKB2 encodes the p100/p52 protein, a critical mediator of the canonical and noncanonical NFkB signaling pathways. Here we report the comprehensive immune evaluation of a child with a novel NFKB2 mutation and provide evidence that aberrant NFKB2 signaling not only causes humoral immune deficiency, but also interferes with the TCR-mediated proliferation of T cells. These observations expand the known phenotype associated with NFKB2 mutations.

A Nonsense N -Terminus NFKB2 Mutation Leading to Haploinsufficiency in a Patient with a Predominantly Antibody Deficiency.

Project description:The noncanonical NF-κB pathway is implicated in diverse biological and immunological processes. Monoallelic C-terminus loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations of NFKB2 have been recently identified as a cause of immunodeficiency manifesting with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) or combined immunodeficiency (CID) phenotypes. Herein we report a family carrying a heterozygous nonsense mutation in NFKB2 (c.809G > A, p.W270*). This variant is associated with increased mRNA decay and no mutant NFKB2 protein expression, leading to NFKB2 haploinsufficiency. Our findings demonstrate that bona fide NFKB2 haploinsufficiency, likely caused by mutant mRNA decay and protein instability leading to the transcription and expression of only the wild-type allele, is associated with clinical immunodeficiency, although with incomplete clinical penetrance. Abnormal B cell development, hypogammaglobulinemia, poor antibody response, and abnormal noncanonical (but normal canonical) NF-κB pathway signaling are the immunologic hallmarks of this disease. This adds a third allelic variant to the pathophysiology of NFKB2-mediated immunodeficiency disorders.

Gain-of-function IKBKB mutation causes human combined immune deficiency.

Project description:Genetic mutations account for many devastating early onset immune deficiencies. In contrast, less severe and later onset immune diseases, including in patients with no prior family history, remain poorly understood. Whole exome sequencing in two cohorts of such patients identified a novel heterozygous de novo IKBKB missense mutation (c.607G>A) in two separate kindreds in whom probands presented with immune dysregulation, combined T and B cell deficiency, inflammation, and epithelial defects. IKBKB encodes IKK2, which activates NF-?B signaling. IKK2V203I results in enhanced NF-?B signaling, as well as T and B cell functional defects. IKK2V203 is a highly conserved residue, and to prove causation, we generated an accurate mouse model by introducing the precise orthologous codon change in Ikbkb using CRISPR/Cas9. Mice and humans carrying this missense mutation exhibit remarkably similar cellular and biochemical phenotypes. Accurate mouse models engineered by CRISPR/Cas9 can help characterize novel syndromes arising from de novo germline mutations and yield insight into pathogenesis.

Identification of a Novel PROP1 Mutation in a Patient with Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency and Enlarged Pituitary.

Project description:Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) can be present from the neonatal period to adulthood and can be the result of congenital or acquired insults. In addition, GHD can be classified into two types: isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) and combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD). CPHD is a disorder characterized by impaired production of two or more anterior and/or posterior pituitary hormones. Many genes implicated in CPHD remain to be identified. Better genetic characterization will provide more information about the disorder and result in important genetic counselling because a number of patients with hypopituitarism represent familial cases. To date, PROP1 mutations represent the most common known genetic cause of CPHD both in sporadic and familial cases. We report a novel mutation in the PROP1 gene in an infant with CPHD and an enlarged pituitary gland. Close long-term follow-up will reveal other possible hormonal defects and pituitary involution.

A novel <i>MRPS34</i> gene mutation with combined OXPHOS deficiency in an adult patient with Leigh syndrome.

Project description:We report a novel pathogenic variant (c.223G > C; p.Gly75Arg) in the gene encoding the small mitoribosomal subunit protein mS34 in a long-surviving patient with Leigh Syndrome who was genetically diagnosed at age 34 years. The patient presented with delayed motor milestones and a stepwise motor deterioration during life, along with brain MRI alterations involving the subcortical white matter, deep grey nuclei and in particular the internal globi pallidi, that appeared calcified on CT scan. The novel variant is associated with a reduction of mS34 protein levels and of the OXPHOS complex I and IV subunits in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the case. This study expands the number of variants that, by affecting the stability of the mitoribosome, may cause an OXPHOS deficiency in Leigh Syndrome and reports, for the first time, an unusual long survival in a patient with a homozygous MRPS34 pathogenic variant.

A novel KAL1 mutation is associated with combined pituitary hormone deficiency.

Project description:Using a next-generation sequencing strategy, we identified a novel KAL1 missense mutation (p.His568Gln) in a patient with combined pituitary hormone deficiency, right microphthalmia, right renal aplasia and severe developmental delay. Our findings will provide additional evidence that KAL1 mutations are associated with hypopituitarism, in addition to luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone deficiencies, and improve our understanding of the phenotypic features and developmental course associated with KAL1 mutations.

Novel nonsense gain-of-function NFKB2 mutations associated with a combined immunodeficiency phenotype.

Project description:NF-?B signaling through its NFKB1-dependent canonical and NFKB2-dependent noncanonical pathways plays distinctive roles in a diverse range of immune processes. Recently, mutations in these 2 genes have been associated with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). While studying patients with genetically uncharacterized primary immunodeficiencies, we detected 2 novel nonsense gain-of-function (GOF) NFKB2 mutations (E418X and R635X) in 3 patients from 2 families, and a novel missense change (S866R) in another patient. Their immunophenotype was assessed by flow cytometry and protein expression; activation of canonical and noncanonical pathways was examined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and transfected HEK293T cells through immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, luciferase activity, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and multiplex assays. The S866R change disrupted a C-terminal NF-??2 critical site affecting protein phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, resulting in CVID with adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, growth hormone deficiency, and mild ectodermal dysplasia as previously described. In contrast, the nonsense mutations E418X and R635X observed in 3 patients led to constitutive nuclear localization and activation of both canonical and noncanonical NF-?? pathways, resulting in a combined immunodeficiency (CID) without endocrine or ectodermal manifestations. These changes were also found in 2 asymptomatic relatives. Thus, these novel NFKB2 GOF mutations produce a nonfully penetrant CID phenotype through a different pathophysiologic mechanism than previously described for mutations in NFKB2.

A novel dominant negative mutation of OTX2 associated with combined pituitary hormone deficiency.

Project description:ContextCombined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is characterized by deficiencies in more than one anterior pituitary hormone. Mutations in developmental factors responsible for pituitary cell specification and gene expression have been found in CPHD patients. OTX2, a bicoid class homeodomain protein, is necessary for both forebrain development and transactivation of the HESX1 promoter, but as of yet, has not been associated with CPHD.ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to identify and characterize novel mutations in pituitary specific transcription factors from CPHD patients.DesignGenomic DNA was isolated from patients with hypopituitarism to amplify and sequence eight pituitary specific transcription factors (HESX1, LHX3, LHX4, OTX2, PITX2, POU1F1, PROP1, and SIX6). Characterization of novel mutations is based on structural and functional studies.ResultsWe describe two unrelated children with CPHD who presented with neonatal hypoglycemia, and deficiencies of GH, TSH, LH, FSH, and ACTH. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed anterior pituitary hypoplasia with an ectopic posterior pituitary. A novel heterozygous OTX2 mutation (N233S) was identified. Wild-type and mutant OTX2 proteins bind equivalently to bicoid binding sites, whereas mutant OTX2 revealed decreased transactivation.ConclusionsA novel mutation in OTX2 binds normally to target genes and acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of HESX1 gene expression. This suggests that the expression of HESX1, required for spaciotemporal development of anterior pituitary cell types, when disrupted, results in an absent or underdeveloped anterior pituitary with diminished hormonal expression. These results demonstrate a novel mechanism for CPHD and extend our knowledge of the spectrum of gene mutations causing CPHD.

Autosomal-dominant B-cell deficiency with alopecia due to a mutation in NFKB2 that results in nonprocessable p100.

Project description:Most genetic defects that arrest B-cell development in the bone marrow present early in life with agammaglobulinemia, whereas incomplete antibody deficiency is usually associated with circulating B cells. We report 3 related individuals with a novel form of severe B-cell deficiency associated with partial persistence of serum immunoglobulin arising from a missense mutation in NFKB2. Significantly, this point mutation results in a D865G substitution and causes a failure of p100 phosphorylation that blocks processing to p52. Severe B-cell deficiency affects mature and transitional cells, mimicking the action of rituximab. This phenotype appears to be due to disruption of canonical and noncanonical nuclear factor κB pathways by the mutant p100 molecule. These findings could be informative for therapeutics as well as immunodeficiency.

NFKB2 mutation in common variable immunodeficiency and isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency: A case report and review of literature.

Project description:BackgroundCommon variable immunodeficiency (CVID) with central adrenal insufficiency is a recently defined clinical syndrome caused by mutations in the nuclear factor kappa-B subunit 2 (NFKB2) gene. We present the first case of NFKB2 mutation in Asian population.Methods and resultsAn 18-year-old Chinese female with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency was admitted due to adrenal crisis and pneumonia. She had a history of recurrent respiratory infections since childhood and ectodermal abnormalities were noted during physical examination. Immunologic tests revealed panhypogammaglobulinemia and deficient natural killer (NK)-cell function. DNA sequencing of NFKB2 identified a heterozygous nonsense mutation (c.2563 A>T, p.855: Lys>*) in the patient but not her parents.ConclusionClinicians should be alert to comorbidities of adrenal insufficiency and ectodermal dysplasia in CVID patients as these might suggest a rare hereditary syndrome caused by NFKB2 mutation.

Clinical phenotype of a Chinese patient with RIPK1 deficiency due to novel mutation.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that RIPK1 is associated with inflammation and apoptotic. RIPK1 deficiency leads to proinflammatory signaling impaired. However, only few patients with homozygous loss-of-function mutation in RIPK1 gene had been reported until now. Here, we report a Chinese combined immunodeficiency patient. He had recurrent infection, diarrhea after 3 months old. Immune function indicated that T, B and NK cells decreased significantly but immunoglobulins approximately remained normal. Whole-exome sequencing indicated that he had novel compound heterozygous mutations (c.998 C > A from his mother and c.1934 C > T from his father) in RIPK1 gene, which were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Our study reports novel mutations in RIPK1 gene and new phenotype of patient with RIPK1 deficiency.
