Although initially described as two forms, with autosomal dominant (AD) and autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance, we now recognize that these are two distinct diseases caused by different genetic causes, with the two most common being from harmful mutations in STAT3 causing loss of function (STAT3-LOF) and DOCK8. These diseases share overlapping clinical and laboratory features; however, they also exhibit distinct clinical symptoms, disease courses, and outcomes. In addition, several other genetic variants have since been described to present with similar symptoms. History Clinical Presentation STAT3-LOF was described first as Job Syndrome STAT3 Deficiency in 1966 in two girls with many episodes of STAT3 Deficiency, is associated with heterozygous pneumonia, eczema-like rashes, and recurrent skin loss of function mutations in the transcription factor boils. These boils were remarkable for their lack STAT3. This is the more common form of HIES in of surrounding warmth, redness or tenderness, the U.S. It commonly presents with skin findings and were so called cold abscesses. In 1972, including newborn rash, eczema, and recurrent the syndrome was refined and clarified upon. It staphylococcal skin abscesses as well as ear, sinus, found similar infectious problems in two boys and lung infections. The lung infections often result who also had a distinctive facial appearance and in cavitary lesions in the lungs (pneumatoceles). extremely elevated IgE levels. Following this Other common infections in STAT3 deficiency report, elevated IgE was found in the two girls include mucocutaneous candidiasis (Candida from the initial report, showing that Job Syndrome fungus on mucous membranes and/or skin), and Buckley Syndrome represented the same manifesting typically as thrush, vaginal candidiasis condition. In 2007, a heterozygous mutation in or candidal nail infection (onychomycosis), the gene encoding the transcription factor STAT3 and recurrent shingles outbreaks. Additional was found to underlie most cases of AD-HIES. In findings include connective tissue and skeletal 2009 mutations and deletions in the DOCK8 gene abnormalities, such as a typical facial appearance, were found to underlie many patients with similar hyper-extensibility of joints, retained primary teeth, symptoms inherited in an AR fashion. recurrent bone fractures with minimal trauma, and 96 Chapter 20: Hyper IgE Syndromes and DOCK8 Forms of HIES Table 20:1 Causative Syndrome Symptoms Gene High IgE, High Eosinophils, Severe Eczema, Skin “Autosomal dominant HIES” infections (boils).
