چکیده
Results Case report: P.G.O, 9 years old, product of healthy and not consanguinity parents. At age 6 days started a recurrent intestinal bleeding, hypoactivity and fever and was hospitalized with a diagnosis of enterocolitis and sepsis by E.coli. Five days later presented cellulitis and infectious vasculitis in members with decrease of C3. Over the years presented several episodes of pneumonia, otitis, gastroenteritis, and diagnosis of atopic dermatitis. At age 3, he started skin lesions in several regions with diagnosis of poxvirus. At same time, he started warts in fingers in the hands and foot. At age 5 years, he presented atypical pneumonia and bronchiolitis obliterans with areas of atelectasis and bronchiectasis in chest tomography. Two months later, he presented malignant otitis externa and mastoiditis. Four months later, he presented abscess in the right upper limb after vacinattion to Pneumococcus. He started the followup in immunodeficiency out-patient clinic and the lab evaluation showed at age 4 years a normal levels of IgA,IgM and IgG, high levels of IgE (>10.000 Ui/dL), pneumococcal antibodies deficiency and low number of T cells (CD4 and CD8). The hypothesis of combined immunodeficiency associated with DOCK 8 mutations was done, because the presence of very high IgE levels, dermatological changes such as atopic dermatitis, molluscum contagiosum and warts in addiction to viral infeccions difficult control). The patient has received prophylactic cotrimoxazol since 5 years old with a significant reduction infeccions, without need new hospitalizations. He showed a normal thrive until now.

Combined Immunodeficiency Associated with DOCK8 Mutations and Related Immunodeficiencies
Studying rare inherited immune disorders in patients has led to improved understanding of how the human immune system is fundamentally regulated. This knowledge is needed to develop new therapeutic agents for immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, cancer, and transplantation. One such illustrative disorder is DOCK8 deficiency, whose molecular etiology was discovered only in the past year. The discover...
متن کاملThe transcription factor EPAS1 links DOCK8 deficiency to atopic skin inflammation via IL-31 induction
Mutations of DOCK8 in humans cause a combined immunodeficiency characterized by atopic dermatitis with high serum IgE levels. However, the molecular link between DOCK8 deficiency and atopic skin inflammation is unknown. Here we show that CD4+ T cells from DOCK8-deficient mice produce large amounts of IL-31, a major pruritogen associated with atopic dermatitis. IL-31 induction critically depends...
متن کاملCombined immunodeficiency associated with DOCK8 mutations.
BACKGROUND Recurrent sinopulmonary and cutaneous viral infections with elevated serum levels of IgE are features of some variants of combined immunodeficiency. The genetic causes of these variants are unknown. METHODS We collected longitudinal clinical data on 11 patients from eight families who had recurrent sinopulmonary and cutaneous viral infections. We performed comparative genomic hybri...
متن کاملInterplay of Polarity Proteins and GTPases in T-Lymphocyte Function
Polarity refers to the asymmetric distribution of different cellular components within a cell and is central to many cell functions. In T-cells, polarity regulates the activation, migration, and effector function of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) during an immune response. The regulation of asymmetric cell division by polarity proteins may also dictate CTL effector and memory differentiation followin...
متن کاملDedicator of cytokinesis 8 interacts with talin and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein to regulate NK cell cytotoxicity.
Recently, patients with mutations in DOCK8 have been reported to have a combined immunodeficiency characterized by cutaneous viral infections and allergies. NK cells represent a first-line defense against viral infections, suggesting that DOCK8 might participate in NK cell function. In this study, we demonstrate that DOCK8-suppressed human NK cells showed defects in natural cytotoxicity as well...
متن کاملDOCK8 regulates lymphocyte shape integrity for skin antiviral immunity
DOCK8 mutations result in an inherited combined immunodeficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to skin and other infections. We show that when DOCK8-deficient T and NK cells migrate through confined spaces, they develop cell shape and nuclear deformation abnormalities that do not impair chemotaxis but contribute to a distinct form of catastrophic cell death we term cytothripsis. Suc...
