Clinical Symptoms, Laboratory Parameters and Long-Term Follow-up in a National DADA2 Cohort.

ABSTRACT: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase-2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease with an extremely variable disease presentation. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Dutch DADA2 cohort. We performed a retrospective cohort study in 29 ADA2-deficient patients from 23 families with a median age at inclusion of 26 years. All patients had biallelic pathogenic variants in the ADA2 gene. The most common clinical findings included cutaneous involvement (79.3%), (hepato)splenomegaly (70.8%) and recurrent infections (58.6%). Stroke was observed in 41.4% of the patients. The main laboratory abnormalities were hypogammaglobulinemia and various cytopenias. Patients presented most often with a mixed phenotype involving vasculopathy, immunodeficiency and hematologic manifest
