Abstract
Human inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), previously referred to as primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), are a heterogeneous spectrum of inherited abnormalities of the immune system with different organ involvement. The number of identified IEIs is rapidly increasing, highlighting the non-negligible role of an interdisciplinary approach in clinical diagnosis. Kidney disorders are one of the important comorbidities in some of the affected patients and play a significant role in the diagnosis and course of disease. According to recent studies, 22 types of human IEI with renal manifestations have been identified so far, including immunodeficiency with congenital thrombocytopenia, thymic defects with additional congenital anomalies, complement deficiencies, type 1 interferonopathies, immunity related to non-hematopoietic tissues, congenital neutropenia's, common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID) phenotype and immuno-osseous dysplasia. Based on this classification, we herein review IEIs with renal features and explain the genetic defect, inheritance, and type of renal manifestations.

Rare solid tumors in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: case report and review of literature. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1229674. [PMID: 37781361 PMCID: PMC10533990 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1229674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by severe eczema, recurrent infections, and micro-thrombocytopenia. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic option for patients with classic form. The risk of developing post-transplant tumors appears to be higher in patients with WAS than in other inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), but the actual incidence is not well defined, due to the scarcity of published data. Methods Herein, we describe a 10-year-old patient diagnosed with WAS, treated with HSCT in the first year of life, who subsequently developed two rare solid tumors, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and desmoid tumor. A review of the literature on post-HSCT tumors in WAS patients has been performed. Results The patient received diagnosis of classic WAS at the age of 2 months (Zhu score = 3), confirmed by WAS gene sequencing, which detected the nonsense hemizygous c.37C>T (Arg13X) mutation. At 9 months, patient underwent HSCT from a matched unrelated donor with an adequate immune reconstitution, characterized by normal lymphocyte subpopulations and mitogen proliferation tests. Platelet count significantly increased, even though platelet count never reached reference values. A mixed chimerism was also detected, with a residual WASP- population on monocytes (27.3%). The patient developed a kaposiform hemangioendothelioma at the age of 5. A second abdominal tumor was identified, histologically classified as a desmoid tumor when he reached the age of 10 years. Both hematopoietic and solid tumors were identified in long-term WAS survivors after HSCT. Conclusion Here, we describe the case of a patient with WAS who developed two rare solid tumors after HSCT. An active surveillance program for the risk of tumors is necessary in the long-term follow-up of post-HSCT WAS patients.

Increased bleeding and thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms mediated through altered expression of inherited platelet disorder genes.

Abstract
An altered thrombo-hemorrhagic profile has long been observed in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). We hypothesized that this observed clinical phenotype may result from altered expression of genes known to harbor genetic variants in bleeding, thrombotic, or platelet disorders. Here, we identify 32 genes from a clinically validated gene panel that were also significantly differentially expressed in platelets from MPN patients as opposed to healthy donors. This work begins to unravel previously unclear mechanisms underlying an important clinical reality in MPNs. Knowledge of altered platelet gene expression in MPN thrombosis/bleeding diathesis opens opportunities to advance clinical care by: (1) enabling risk stratification, in particular, for patients undergoing invasive procedures, and (2) facilitating tailoring of treatment strategies for those at highest risk, for example, in the form of antifibrinolytics, desmopressin or platelet transfusions (not current routine practice). Marker genes identified in this work may also enable prioritization of candidates in future MPN mechanistic as well as outcome studies.

Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity associated with atopy (IEIs-A) are a group of inherited monogenic disorders that occur with immune dysregulation and frequent skin involvement. Several pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of these conditions, including immune system defects, alterations of skin barrier and metabolism perturbations. Current technological improvements and the higher accessibility to genetic testing, recently allowed the identification of novel molecular pathways involved in IEIs-A, also informing on potential tailored therapeutic strategies. Compared to other systemic therapy for skin diseases, biologics have the less toxic and the best tolerated profile in the setting of immune dysregulation. Here, we review IEIs-A with skin involvement focusing on the tailored therapeutic approach according to their pathogenetic mechanism.

Lu Y, Gao Q, Ren X, Li J, Yang D, Zhang Z, Han J. Incidence and prevalence of 121 rare diseases in China: Current status and challenges: 2022 revision. Intractable Rare Dis Res 2022; 11:96-104. [PMID: 36200031 PMCID: PMC9438002 DOI: 10.5582/irdr.2022.01093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
The current study updated data on the incidence and prevalence of 121 rare diseases listed in China's First List of Rare Diseases to provide rationales and references for the development and promotion of rare-disease-related policies. The National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China issued the Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Guide (2019) (denoted here as China's Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Guide). Then 121 diseases were registered with the national rare disease diagnosis and treatment network. The incidence/prevalence of 121 rare diseases varied from country to country. Data are available for a total of 76 rare diseases (76 of 121 rare diseases, 62.81%) in China, including data on the incidence of 23 rare diseases (19.01%) and data on the prevalence of 66 (54.55%). There are data on the incidence/prevalence of 112 rare diseases (112 of 121 rare diseases, 92.56%) at the global level, including data on the incidence of 86 rare diseases (71.07%) and data on the prevalence of 91 (75.21%). On average, the incidence of progressive muscular dystrophies, hyperphenylalaninemia, citrullinemia, and methylmalonic acidemia is over 1/10,000 in China. The prevalence of coronary artery ectasia, congenital scoliosis, retinitis pigmentosa, severe congenital neutropenia, congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, and osteogenesis imperfecta is over 1/10,000 in China. All of these figures are beyond the cut-off of 1/10,000 according to the 2021 definition of rare diseases in China. As registration and investigation of rare diseases continues, the spectrum of rare diseases in some provinces is expanding. Diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, hepatolenticular degeneration, hemophilia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and multiple sclerosis are relatively prevalent in some regions and cities of China. Registration efforts promote the correction of incidence/prevalence data, development of orphan drugs, coverage by medical insurance, and development of clinical and diagnostic pathways.
