Abstract
PURPOSE Early identification of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) is crucial due to the significant risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to describe the genetic causes, clinical features, and survival rate of IEIs in Omani patients. METHODS A prospective study of all Omani patients evaluated for immunodeficiency was conducted over a 17-year period. Clinical features and diagnostic immunological findings were recorded. Targeted gene testing was performed in cases of obvious immunodeficiency. For cases with less conclusive phenotypes, a gene panel was performed, followed by whole-exome sequencing if necessary. RESULTS A total of 185 patients were diagnosed with IEIs during the study period; of these, 60.5% were male. Mean ages at symptom onset and diagnosis were 30.0 and 50.5 months, respectively. Consanguinity and a family history of IEIs were present in 86.9% and 50.8%, respectively. Most patients presented with lower respiratory infections (65.9%), followed by growth and development manifestations (43.2%). Phagocytic defects were the most common cause of IEIs (31.9%), followed by combined immunodeficiency (21.1%). Overall, 109 of 132 patients (82.6%) who underwent genetic testing received a genetic diagnosis, while testing was inconclusive for the remaining 23 patients (17.4%). Among patients with established diagnoses, 37 genes and 44 variants were identified. Autosomal recessive inheritance was present in 81.7% of patients with gene defects. Several variants were novel. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy was administered to 39.4% of patients and 21.6% received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The overall survival rate was 75.1%. CONCLUSION This study highlights the genetic causes of IEIs in Omani patients. This information may help in the early identification and management of the disease, thereby improving survival and quality of life.

J Clin Immunol 2022; 42:1564-1579. [PMID: 35796921 DOI: 10.1007/s10875-022-01324-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to report the clinical and immunological characteristics of variant type X91+ chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in a Chinese cohort. METHODS The clinical manifestations and immunological phenotypes of patients with X91+ CGD were collected. A dihydrorhodamine (DHR) analysis was performed to evaluate neutrophil function. Gp91phox protein expression was determined using extracellular staining with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 7D5 and flow cytometry. RESULTS Patients with X91+ CGD accounted for 8% (7/85) of all patients with CGD. The median age of onset in the seven patients with X91+ CGD was 4 months. Six patients received the BCG vaccine, and 50% (3/6) had probable BCG infections. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was prominent. The most common sites of infection were the lung (6/7), lymph nodes (5/7), and soft tissue (3/7). Two patients experienced recurrent oral ulcers. The stimulation index (SI) of the patients with X91+ CGD ranged widely from 1.9 to 67.3. The difference in the SI among the three groups of patients (X91+ CGD, X91- CGD, and X910 CGD) was statistically significant (P = 0.0071). The three groups showed no significant differences in onset age, diagnosis age, or severe infection frequency. CYBB mutations associated with X91+ CGD were commonly located in the second transmembrane or intracellular regions. Three novel X91+ CGD-related mutations (c.1462-2 A > T, c.1243C > T, and c.925G > A) were identified. CONCLUSIONS Variant type X91+ CGD may result in varied clinical manifestations. Moreover, the laboratory findings might indicate a moderate neutrophil SI. We should deepen our understanding of variant X91+ CGD to prevent missed diagnoses.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immunodeficiency disorder affecting about 1 in 250,000 individuals. CGD patients suffer from severe, recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. The disease is caused by mutations in the genes encoding the components of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase. This enzyme produces superoxide, which is subsequently metabolized to hydrogen peroxide and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). These products are essential for intracellular killing of pathogens by phagocytic leukocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and macrophages). The leukocyte NADPH oxidase is composed of five subunits, four of which are encoded by autosomal genes. These are CYBA, encoding p22phox, NCF1, encoding p47phox, NCF2, encoding p67phox and NCF4, encoding p40phox. This article lists all mutations identified in these genes in CGD patients. In addition, cytochrome b558 chaperone-1 (CYBC1), recently recognized as an essential chaperone protein for the expression of the X-linked NADPH oxidase component gp91phox (also called Nox2), is encoded by the autosomal gene CYBC1. Mutations in this gene also lead to CGD. Finally, RAC2, a small GTPase of the Rho family, is needed for activation of the NADPH oxidase, and mutations in the RAC2 gene therefore also induce CGD-like symptoms. Mutations in these last two genes are also listed in this article.

Second Report of Chronic Granulomatous Disease in Jordan: Clinical and Genetic Description of 31 Patients From 21 Different Families, Including Families From Lybia and Iraq.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare innate immunodeficiency disorder caused by mutations in one of the six genes (CYBA, CYBB, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4, and CYBC1/EROS) encoding the superoxide-producing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)—oxidase complex in phagocytes. In the Western population, the most prevalent form of CGD (about two-thirds of all cases) is the X-linked form (X-CGD) caused by mutations in CYBB. The autosomal recessive forms (AR-CGD), due to mutations in the other genes, collectively account for the remaining one-third of CGD cases. We investigated the clinical and molecular features of 22 Jordanian, 7 Libyan, and 2 Iraqi CGD patients from 21 different families. In addition, 11 sibling patients from these families were suspected to have been died from CGD as suggested by their familial and clinical history. All patients except 9 were children of consanguineous parents. Most of the patients suffered from AR-CGD, with mutations in CYBA, NCF1, and NCF2, encoding p22phox, p47phox, and p67phox proteins, respectively. AR-CGD was the most frequent form, in Jordan probably because consanguineous marriages are common in this country. Only one patient from non-consanguineous parents suffered from an X910 CGD subtype (0 indicates no protein expression). AR670 CGD and AR220 CGD appeared to be the most frequently found sub-types but also the most severe clinical forms compared to AR470 CGD. As a geographical clustering of 11 patients from eight Jordanian families exhibited the c.1171_1175delAAGCT mutation in NCF2, segregation analysis with nine polymorphic markers overlapping NCF2 indicates that a common ancestor has arisen ~1,075 years ago.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are a clinically and immunologically heterogeneous group of disorders of immune system. Diagnosis of these disorders is often challenging and requires identification of underlying genetic defects, complemented by a comprehensive evaluation of immune system. Flow cytometry, with its advances in the last few decades, has emerged as an indispensable tool for enumeration as well as characterization of immune cells. Flow cytometric evaluation of the immune system not only provides clues to underlying genetic defects in certain PIDs and helps in functional validation of novel genetic defects, but is also useful in monitoring immune responses following specific therapies. India has witnessed significant progress in the field of flow cytometry as well as PID over last one decade. Currently, there are seven Federation of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (FPID) recognized centers across India, including two Indian Council of Medical research (ICMR) funded centers of excellence for diagnosis, and management of PIDs. These centers offer comprehensive care for PIDs including flow cytometry based evaluation. The key question which always remains is how one selects from the wide array of flow cytometry based tests available, and whether all these tests should be performed before or after the identification of genetic defects. This becomes crucial, especially when resources are limited and patients have to pay for the investigations. In this review, we will share some of our experiences based on evaluation of a large cohort of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, severe combined immunodeficiency, and chronic granulomatous disease, and the lessons learned for optimum use of this powerful technology for diagnosis of these disorders.
