The Journal of Immunology A RAG1 Mutation Found in Omenn Syndrome Causes Coding Flank Hypersensitivity: A Novel Mechanism for Antigen Receptor Repertoire Restriction1 Serre-Yu Wong,2 Catherine P. Lu,2 and David B. Roth3 Hypomorphic RAG mutants with severely reduced V(D)J recombination activity cause Omenn Syndrome (OS), an immunode- ficiency with features of immune dysregulation and a restricted TCR repertoire. Precisely how RAG mutants produce autoim- mune and allergic symptoms has been unclear. Current models posit that the severe recombination defect restricts the number of lymphocyte clones, a few of which are selected upon Ag exposure. We show that murine RAG1 R972Q, corresponding to an OS mutation, renders the recombinase hypersensitive to selected coding sequences at the hairpin formation step. Other RAG1 OS mutants tested do not manifest this sequence sensitivity. These new data support a novel mechanism for OS: by selectively Downloaded from impairing recombination at certain coding flanks, a RAG mutant can cause primary repertoire restriction, as opposed to a more random, limited repertoire that develops secondary to severely diminished recombination activity.

In the ensuing 6.5 years, 3 252 156 infants in the state had DNA from dried blood spots assayed for T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs). Abnormal TREC results were followed-up with liquid blood testing for T-cell abnormalities. We report the performance of the SCID screening program and the outcomes of infants who were identified. METHODS: Data that were reviewed and analyzed included demographics, nursery summaries, TREC and lymphocyte flow-cytometry values, and available follow-up, including clinical and genetic diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes. RESULTS: Infants with clinically significant T-cell lymphopenia (TCL) were successfully identified at a rate of 1 in 15 300 births. Of these, 50 cases of SCID, or 1 in 65 000 births (95% confidence interval 1 in 51 000–1 in 90 000) were found.

    Clinical & Developmental Immunology, June–December 2006; 13(2–4): 223–259 Current perspectives on primary immunodeficiency diseases ARVIND KUMAR, SUZANNE S. TEUBER, & M. ERIC GERSHWIN Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of California at Davis School of Medicine, Davis, CA, USA Abstract Since the original description of X-linked agammaglobulinemia in 1952, the number of independent primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) has expanded to more than 100 entities. By definition, a PID is a genetically determined disorder resulting in enhanced susceptibility to infectious disease. Despite the heritable nature of these diseases, some PIDs are clinically manifested only after prerequisite environmental exposures but they often have associated malignant, allergic, or autoimmune manifestations. PIDs must be distinguished from secondary or acquired immunodeficiencies, which are far more common. In this review, we will place these immunodeficiencies in the context of both clinical and laboratory presentations as well as highlight the known genetic basis.

  • Blueprint Genetics Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Panel
    Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Panel Test code: IM0101 Is a 80 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of combined immunodeficiencies. The genes on this panel are included in the Primary Immunodeficiency Panel. About Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Severe combined immunedeficiencies (SCIDs) are a group of primary immunodeficiencies characterized by specific mutations in genes of T and B-lymphocyte systems and leading to little or no immune response. Different subtypes of SCIDs are characterized and subdivided by the presence of circulating T and B cells. T cells are absent or markedly decreased in the most types, but levels of B cells vary. In addition, both of these disease subgroups (T-B+ and T-B-) can occur with or without NK cells. Patients with SCID are susceptible to recurrent infections that can be fatal. The worldwide prevalence of SCID is estimated to be at least 1:100,000 births, while some genetically more homogenous populations may show markedly increased numbers. Mutations in IL2RG are the most common reason for SCIDs, explaining approximately 50% of all cases and close to 100% of X-linked cases.

Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University, Ternopil City, Ukraine. Email: [email protected] Received: 11 August 2018, Revised and Accepted: 27 September 2018 ABSTRACT Allergic manifestations are one of the clinical signs of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). In this review, the common allergic manifestations of PID are summarized, and their main differential characteristics and treatment approaches are outlined. Allergic manifestations occur more often in patients with combined immunodeficiencies with or without associated or syndromic features. In patients with PID they usually are present in the 1st year of life, may be among the first symptoms of PID, and are commonly manifested by eczema and increased immunoglobulin IgG levels. Often the skin barrier function is not impaired in patients with eczema and PID, although some diseases (such as Comel-Netherton syndrome) do affect skin barrier function. There is usually no correlation between IgE levels and the severity of allergic skin manifestations. Allergic-like manifestations in PID patients include urticaria-like rash and angioedema. Urticaria-like rash is associated with autoinflammatory disorders, which are commonly accompanied by fever, and caused by a neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermis. Angioedema in hereditary angioedema patients is caused by high bradykinin production. Early differentiation of allergic manifestations in PID from atopic dermatitis and other atopic conditions is very difficult; however, it is very important because it influences on treatment methods. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of PID patients, with the involvement of immunologists, allergists, and formulation of appropriate treatment improve the prognosis and quality of life of the PID patients.

  • Highly Restricted Human T Cell Repertoire in Peripheral Blood and Tissue-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Omenn's Syndrome
    Highly restricted human T cell repertoire in peripheral blood and tissue-infiltrating lymphocytes in Omenn's syndrome. F Rieux-Laucat, … , F Le Deist, J P De Villartay J Clin Invest. 1998;102(2):312-321. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI332. Research Article Omenn's syndrome is an inherited human combined immunodeficiency condition characterized by the presence of a large population of activated and tissue-infiltrating T cells. Analysis of the TCRB repertoire revealed a highly restricted TCRBV usage in three patients. More strikingly, T cell clones from the three patients expressed TCRB chains with VDJ junction similarities, suggesting a common antigenic specificity. Analysis of the TCRA repertoire in one patient also revealed a restricted TCRAV usage. Finally, analysis of the TCRBV repertoire of tissue-infiltrating T cells in one patient suggested nonrandom tissue migration. These results suggest that the oligoclonal expansion of T cells observed in Omenn's syndrome could be the consequence of autoimmune proliferation generated by a profound defect in lymphocyte development.

Abstract While widespread genome sequencing ushers in a new era of preventive medicine, the tools for predictive genomics are still lacking. Time and resource limitations mean that human diseases remain uncharacterised because of an inability to predict clinically relevant genetic variants. The structural or functional impact of a coding variant is mirrored by allele frequencies amongst the general population.
