Atypical Omenn Syndrome Due to RAG2 Gene Mutation, a Case Report
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), characterized by a profound decrease in both the number and function of T cells, is related to more than 20 different mutations. Recombination-activating gene (RAG) 1 and 2 seem to be two of the most common forms presenting with various manifestations, including typical SCID, Omenn syndrome (OS), atypical SCID (AS), or delayed onset combined immunodefici...
متن کاملOligoclonal expansion of T lymphocytes with multiple second-site mutations leads to Omenn syndrome in a patient with RAG1-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency.
Omenn syndrome (OS) is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by the presence of activated/oligoclonal T cells, eosinophilia, and the absence of circulating B cells. OS patients carry leaky mutations of recombination activating genes (RAG1 or RAG2) resulting in partial V(D)J recombination activity, whereas null mutations cause severe combined immunodeficiency with absence of mature T and...
متن کاملReconstitution of T cell receptor signaling in ZAP-70-deficient cells by retroviral transduction of the ZAP-70 gene
A variant of severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID) with a selective inability to produce CD8 single positive T cells and a signal transduction defect in peripheral CD4+ cells has recently been shown to be the result of mutations in the ZAP-70 gene. T cell receptor (TCR) signaling requires the association of the ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinase with the TCR complex. Human T cell leukemi...
متن کاملDefective expression of p56lck in an infant with severe combined immunodeficiency.
Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by profound defects in cellular and humoral immunity. We report here an infant with clinical and laboratory features of SCID and selective CD4 lymphopenia and lack of CD28 expression on CD8(+) T cells. T cells from this patient showed poor blastogenic responses to various mitogens and IL-2. Other T cell antigen r...
متن کاملOmenn syndrome in the context of other B cell-negative severe combined immunodeficiencies.
Severe combined immunodeficiencies represent a heterogeneous group of hereditary defects of the immune system that affect both T and B cells and whose etiology has only recently begun to be understood. A portion of these SCID patients bear a defect in either of the two recombination-activating genes, Rag-1 or Rag-2, while others have mutations in a newly identified gene, Artemis. Omenn syndrome...
