Combined immunodeficiency develops with age in Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 2 (ICF2)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The autosomal recessive immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome (ICF) is characterized by immunodeficiency, developmental delay, and facial anomalies. ICF2, caused by biallelic ZBTB24 gene mutations, is acknowledged primarily as an isolated B-cell defect. Here, we extend the phenotype spectrum by describing, in particular, for the first time the development of a combined immune defect throughout the disease course as well as putative autoimmune phenomena such as granulomatous hepatitis and nephritis. We also demonstrate impaired cell-proliferation and increased cell death of immune and non-immune cells as well as data suggesting a chromosome separation defect in addition to the known chromosome condensation defect.

Immunodeficiency, centromeric heterochromatin instability of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16, and facial anomalies: the ICF syndrome.
Instability of the heterochromatic centromeric regions of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 associated with immunodeficiency was found in a four year old girl. Similar phenotypic and chromosomal abnormalities were described in a previous patient studied by us and in four other published cases. All these patients have facial anomalies in addition to combined immunodeficiency and chromosomal instability. ...

The immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by variable immunodeficiency, instability of the pericentromeric heterochromatin, and facial dysmorphism. Here we report a new case of ICF syndrome who died of rubella pneumonitis. A six year-old-girl who was the first child of consanguineous parents was admitt...

متن کاملCentromeric instability of chromosome 1 resulting in multibranched chromosomes, telomeric fusions, and "jumping translocations" of 1q in a human immunodeficiency virus-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
BACKGROUND Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are associated with the B-cell chromosomal translocation t(8;14)(q24; q32). The most common secondary chromosome aberrations in these patients involve 1q and are believed to be associated with tumor progression. A mechanism for the origin of these 1q aberrations has not been demonstrated. To their knowledge, the autho...

Immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomaly (ICF) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition with severe immunodeficiency, which leads to lethal infections if not recognized and treated in early childhood. Up-to-date treatment regimens consist of prophylactic and supportive treatment of the recurrent infections. Here, we report the case of a 1-year-old boy of Mor...
