9SCID due to Coronin 1a deficiency
- Phenotype concordant with Coronin 1a knockout
mouse model - Father had 2 bp deletion in CORO1A
- Child had large deletion spanning CORO1A on other
chromosome
10Reticular dysgenesis
11Reticular dysgenesis
- One of the oldest known forms of SCID (described
1959) - Severe T B lymphopenia and agranulocytosis
- Bacterial and fungal sepsis, pneumonia,
enteritis, maternal T cell engraftment and GVHD - Sensorineural deafness
- Uniformly fatal within months
12Reticular dysgenesis
- Genome-wide SNP array for regions of homozygosity
in 6 individuals with RD - Region 1p34.3-36.11 homozygous in all
- 185 genes, 80 expressed in bone marrow
- Tested expression of all 80 genes in BM cells of
one pt., found abnormal mRNA for adenylate kinase
2 (AK2) - Sequenced AK2 gene and found mutations in
all
Pannicke et al., Nat Genet 2009 41101.
13Reticular dysgenesis
- Adenylate kinase 2, mitochondrial enzyme that
generates ADP, required for normal oxidative
metabolism in lymphoid and myeloid precursors and
neurons in the inner ear (other tissues use AK1). - In the absence of adequate ATP, mitochondria
activate apoptosis
14Reticular dysgenesis
Apoptosis in fibroblasts
Pannicke et al., Nat Genet 2009 41101.
15STAT5b deficiency
- Growth failure with GH insensitivity

- Autoimmunity (ITP, juvenile arthritis)
16STAT5b deficiency
Nadeau et al., J Pediatr 2011 158 701.
17STAT5b deficiency
- IgG elevated
- CD3 low (both CD4 CD8)
- Treg low
- NK low
- B cells normal or low
- Antibody formation normal
- T cell proliferation low
18Nadeau et al., J Pediatr 2011 158 701.
19ITK deficiency
- Sister A
- Aphthous stomatitis and thrush age 5
- EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disease age 6
- Died of PCP age 10
- Sister B
- Healthy until EBV-associated lymphoproliferative
disease age 5 - Died during BMT
Huck et al, J Clin Invest 2009 1191350
20ITK deficiency
- Screening evaluation of T cell, B cell, and NK
cell function essentially normal - Absent NKT cells (characteristic of XLP due to
SH2D1A or XIAP defects
Huck et al, J Clin Invest 2009 1191350
21ITK deficiency
Huck et al, J Clin Invest 2009 1191350
22ITK deficiency
- Genome-wide linkage analysis in 8 family members
indicated ITK as candidate gene
23ITK signaling

24Hyper-IgE syndrome type 2
- Eczema, recurrent skin viral (molluscum, herpes)
and bacterial (Staph), and fungal (Candida)
infections, CNS vasculopathy - Normal facies, teeth and bones
- Elevated IgE, eosinophilia
- Autosomal recessive
25Hyper-IgE syndrome type 2
- Comparative genomic hybridization
- Affected individuals and obligate carriers from
20 kindreds

26Comparative genomic hybridization

27Hyper-IgE syndrome type 2
- Decreased copy number seen in region of
chromosome 9 encompassing DOCK8 locus
Engelhardt et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009

28DOCK8 mutations in HIE-2

31Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
- 15 genetic causes
- Common characteristic severe defect of T cell
development - Incidence in general US population
- Clinically presenting and diagnosed
- About 1/100,000
- Estimates 1/10,000-1/50,000
- (Native American Navajo nation 1/ 2,000)
32SCID
- Uniformly fatal if not treated
- Bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation
- Curative if successful
- Key to success
- EARLY TRANSPLANT
- Before infection
- Before further deterioration of thymus

Dried Blood Spot Specimen
Multiplex PCR assay for TREC and RNaseP

SCREEN NEGATIVE
SCREEN POSITIVE
Phone call to PCP office to Request Repeat NBS
specimen
PHONE CONSULT with PCP and recommendation for
repeat NBS and/or Flow Cytometry followed by fax
of Screen Positive report packet
35SCID NBS Notification Algorithm Overview
SCREEN POSITIVE RESULT
Request repeat NBS specimen
REPEAT SCREEN POSITIVE
REPEAT SCREEN NEGATIVE
Was any previous specimen above cutoff?
Yes
No
PHONE CONSULT with PCP and recommendation for
Flow Cytometry
36Prompts for Referral to Flow Cytometry
- Undetectable TREC on initial NBS specimen
- Two out of range TREC results (lt252 copies/ul)
from two independent NBS specimens in the absence
of a normal TREC result - In NICU infants if a subsequent normal TREC
result is obtained prior to flow cytometry being
done then the recommendation for flow cytometry
will be withdrawn in the absence of clinical
concerns - Persistent SCID unsat due to failed amplification
of RNaseP
37Current Work-up Algorithm
Flow Cytometry CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16/56,
CD19 Naïve T cell determination Clinic Referral
for Possible SCID and functional T cell tests
if Total T cell number lt2,500 cells-mm3 Naïve
T cells (CD4 or CD8) lt50 Clinic referral for
possible other PIDD if any other abnormality on
flow cytometry Referral to Transplant Center for
SCID if T cell functional tests are indicative
