Recombinase-activating gene 1 immunodeficiency: different immunological phenotypes in three siblings.
[omenn syndrome]
We
report
different
immunological
phenotypes
in
three
siblings
from
consanguineous
family
with
recombinase-activating
gene
1
(
RAG
1
)
gene
mutations
.
Null
mutations
of
RAG
genes
result
in
severe
combined
immunodeficiency
(
SCID
)
with
absent
T
and
B
cells
.
Hypomorphic
mutations
with
retained
activity
of
RAG
genes
may
lead
to
a
'
leaky
'
SCID
with
some
features
of
Omenn
syndrome
(
OS
)
or
typical
OS
.
In
our
three
patients
,
homozygous
,
hypomorphic
RAG
1
gene
mutation
(
g
.
368
-
369
delAA
)
was
detected
.
Two
patients
presented
with
T
-B-
SCID
phenotype
while
the
youngest
patient
developed
T
+
B
+
NK
+
SCID
phenotype
with
expansion
of
autologous
T
-
cell
receptor
(
TCR
)
gammadelta-
positive
T
cells
,
increased
immunoglobulin
levels
and
retained
ability
for
antibody
production
.
Similar
to
originally
reported
patients
with
this
newly
recognized
immune
phenotype
,
our
patient
developed
disseminated
cytomegalovirus
(
CMV
)
infection
and
autoimmune
cytopenia
.
In
infants
with
disseminated
cytomegalovirus
infection
and
autoimmune
cytopenia
,
even
if
basic
immunologic
investigation
appears
normal
,
RAG
1
immunodeficiency
should
be
considered
.
