Project description:Human RLTPR deficiency is a combined immunodeficiency affecting the CD28-responsive pathway in T cells and the BCR-responsive pathway in B cells. This SubSeries contains high throughput gene expression data from primary CD4+ T cells of patients with RLTPR deficiency and controls.
Project description:Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II (MHCII) deficiency, also known as Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome (BLS), is a rare combined immunodeficiency due to mutations in genes regulating expression of MHCII molecules. MHCII deficiency results in impaired cellular and humoral immune responses, leading to severe infections and autoimmunity. The contribution of thymic epithelial cell (TEC) defects to the pathogenesis of this primary immunodeficiency has not been well characterized to date, in particular in regard to immune dysregulation. To this aim, we have performed an in-depth cellular and molecular characterization of TEC alterations in this disease. We observed an overall perturbation of thymic structure and function in both MHCII-/- mice and patients. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of murine TEC revealed several alterations. In particular, in MHCII-/- mice, impaired cross-talk and mTEC maturation resulted in altered promiscuous gene expression and leaky central tolerance. Furthermore, we observed peripheral tolerance impairment, likely due to defective Treg cell generation and/or function and B cell tolerance breakdown. Overall, our findings reveal disease-specific TEC defects resulting in perturbation of central tolerance and limiting the potential effect of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in MHCII deficiency.
Project description:<p>We describe four patients from two unrelated families of different ethnicities who had primary immunodeficiency predominantly manifesting as susceptibility to EBV-related diseases. We performed whole exome sequencing (P1 and P2 from family 1) or whole genome sequencing (P4 and both parents from family 2) in those two families and identified homozygous frameshift or in-frame deletions in CD70 in these patients which abolished either CD70 surface expression or binding to its counter structure CD27. Sanger sequencing identified the same homozygous <i>CD70</i> mutation in P3, which is not included in the dbGaP submission. Autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency is a novel cause of combined immunodeficiency and EBV-associated diseases, reminiscent of CD27 deficiency.</p>

Project description:The study describes two independent cases of NCKAP1L-deficiency, both carrying homozygous non-sense or splice variants in the NCKAP1L gene. The patients presented a phenotype of immunodeficiency, lymphoproliferation and hyperinflammation with features of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
