Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ syndrome caused by PIK3CD mutations: expanding the phenotype.
Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal 2024 January 30
BACKGROUND: Germline heterozygous gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the PIK3CD gene lead to a rare primary immunodeficiency disease known as activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) δ syndrome type 1(APDS1). Affected patients present a spectrum of clinical manifestations, particularly recurrent respiratory infections and lymphoproliferation, increased levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia. Due to highly heterogeneous phenotypes of APDS1, it is very likely that suspected cases may be misdiagnosed.
METHODS: Herein we reported three patients with different clinical presentations but harboring pathogenic variants in PIK3CD gene detected by trio whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES) and confirmed by subsequent Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS: Two heterozygous mutations (c.3061G > A, p.E1021K and c.1574 A > G, p.E525G) in PIK3CD (NM_005026.3) were identified by whole exome sequencing (WES) in the three patients. One of two patients with the mutation (c.3061G > A) presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea as the first symptoms, which was due to intussusception caused by multiple polyps of colon. The patient with mutation (c.1574 A > G) had an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV)-like clinical manifestations, including multisystemic inflammation, acute nephritic syndrome, and positive perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA), thus the diagnosis of ANCA-AAV was considered.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study expands the spectrums of clinical phenotype and genotype of APDS, and demonstrates that WES has a high molecular diagnostic yield for patients with immunodeficiency related symptoms, such as respiratory infections, multiple ecchymosis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, multiple ileocecal polyps, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphoid hyperplasia.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: Retrospectively registered.
