==Overview==
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) is characterized by (1) primary immunodeficiency and (2) terminal hepatic lobular vascular occlusion and hepatic fibrosis manifest as hepatomegaly and/or hepatic failure. Onset is before age 12 months. The immunodeficiency comprises severe hypogammaglobulinemia, clinical evidence of T-cell immunodeficiency with normal numbers of circulating T cells, absent lymph node germinal centers, and absent tissue plasma cells. Bacterial and opportunistic infections including Pneumocystis jerovici infection, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and enteroviral or cytomegalovirus infections occur. VODI is associated with 90% mortality overall and 100% mortality if unrecognized and untreated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and Pneumocystis jerovici prophylaxis.

<div>Clinical Diagnosis
 
The clinical diagnostic criteria for hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) syndrome include the following:
 
* Clinical evidence of immunodeficiency with bacterial and opportunistic infections including ''Pneumocystis jerovici'' infection, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and enteroviral or cytomegalovirus infections
* Hepatomegaly or evidence of hepatic failure not explained by other factors in the [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/affected/ affected] individual or a first degree relative
* Onset before age 12 months
* Family history consistent with [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-recessive/ autosomal recessive] inheritance
</div><div>Testing
 
Additional investigations that support the diagnosis of VODI include the following (in suggested order):
 
* '''Immunologic investigations'''
 
** Low serum concentrations of IgA, IgM, and IgG
 
Note: Immunoglobulin levels are age-specific and laboratory-specific and so should be compared against appropriate local reference ranges.
** Normal lymphocyte numbers and CD4 and CD8 percentages
** Low intracellular cytokine production
 
* '''''SP110'' molecular testing'''
* '''Hepatic investigations'''
 
** Hepatic ultrasonography. Features consistent with hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD) may include hepatosplenomegaly, gallbladder wall thickening, increased portal vein diameter, reduced hepatic vein diameter, ascites, and re-canalization of the ''ligamentum teres''.
** Doppler ultrasound examination. Features consistent with hVOD may include reduced portal venous flow, flow in the para-umbilical vein, and increased resistance in the hepatic artery.
** Histologic features of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, including fibrous concentric narrowing of zone 3 terminal hepatic venules, centrilobular hepatocyte necrosis, and sinusoidal congestion (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/figure/vodi.F1/?report=objectonly Figure 1]) *

'''Establishing the diagnosis in a [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/proband/ proband]''' requires the detection of mutations in ''SP110.'' which should be undertaken concurrently with immune investigations if the clinical presentation is consistent with the diagnosis.
 
Suggested order for investigations:
 
; 1.
: Measure serum immunoglobulin concentrations and CD4/CD8 percentages.
; 2.
: If serum concentration of immunoglobulins is low for age, hepatic imaging should be performed to detect evidence of hVOD.
; 3.
: Perform ''SP110'' [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/ molecular genetic testing].
 
Note: If not contraindicated, hepatic biopsy should be considered to prove the basis of hepatic pathology.

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.tosh.2006.10364 Tosh et al [2006]] reported transmission disequilibrium for alleles of ''SP110'' in ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' infection in individuals of West African heritage. However, a replication study in a population derived from the same region did not identify an association between ''SP110'' alleles and ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' infection [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.thye.2006.e32 Thye et al 2006]].
 
A well-designed and well-executed study by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.szeszko.2007.155 Szeszko et al [2007]] failed to detect a significant association between alleles of ''SP110'' and ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' infection in a population of European Russians. It is notable that the three studies cited compare Mantoux-positive and Mantoux-negative individuals rather than disease progression in individuals known to be exposed to ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''.
</div><div><div>Clinical Description<div>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/# Go to:]</div></div><div>Natural History
 
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD) with immunodeficiency (VODI) is a primary immunodeficiency associated with terminal hepatic lobular vascular occlusion and hepatic lobule zone 3 fibrosis.
 
The immunodeficiency is characterized by severe hypogammaglobulinemia, clinical evidence of T-cell immunodeficiency with normal numbers of circulating T and B cells, absent lymph node germinal centers, and absent tissue plasma cells [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.roscioli.2006.620 Roscioli et al 2006]]. The number of children known to have VODI secondary to ''SP110'' mutations is small ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_and_immunologic_features/?report=objectonly Table 2] and [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_features_of_individuals_/?report=objectonly Table 3]) [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.roscioli.2006.620 Roscioli et al 2006], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.ruga.2006.1 Ruga et al 2006]].
 
All children in the cohort from Sydney, Australia presented prior to age six months, the majority with sequelae of the immunodeficiency either alone or concurrently with features of hVOD (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_and_immunologic_features/?report=objectonly Table 2]). Ninety percent of the children with VODI present ''ab initio'' either with hepatomegaly (83% with preceding infection) or hepatic failure (53% with preceding infection). [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_and_immunologic_features/?report=objectonly Table 2] summarizes the clinical and immunologic features of 20 individuals with the clinical diagnosis of VODI (including the 11 individuals who were able to be investigated by molecular analysis confirming the presence of ''SP110'' mutations).

VODI is associated with 100% mortality in the first year if unrecognized and untreated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and ''Pneumocystis jerovici'' prophylaxis and a 90% mortality overall by the mid-teenage years [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.roscioli.2006.620 Roscioli et al 2006]]. Should hVOD recovery occur, recurrence of hVOD appears to be prevented by continuation of intravenous immunoglobulin and ''Pneumocystis'' prophylaxis. One child (Patient AII.1, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_features_of_individuals_/?report=objectonly Table 3]) died following recurrence of hVOD after bone marrow transplantation at age six years.
 
Overall, 30% of children with VODI had neurologic involvement. In no case was veno-occlusive disease of the brain reported. One [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/affected/ affected] child (Patient BII.1, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_features_of_individuals_/?report=objectonly Table 3]) had intellectual disability associated with a porencephalic cyst of uncertain origin; a second child in the same sibship and three others had multi-organ failure associated with extensive cerebral necrosis on post-mortem examination. Patient AII.1 ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_features_of_individuals_/?report=objectonly Table 3]) experienced a cerebrovascular accident associated with a right-sided cerebral white matter lesion, presumed to be ''Toxoplasma gondii'' infection.

'''Pathophysiology.''' It is currently unknown whether the hVOD is a direct manifestation of ''SP110'' sequence variants, related to altered apoptosis in the hepatic sinusoid, or secondary to infection; however, hVOD appears to develop after infections occur.
</div><div>Genotype-Phenotype Correlations
 
No significant difference in the clinical manifestations of VODI is observed between individuals with ''SP110'' [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/exon/ exon] 2 and exon 5 mutations.
 
The one child with an [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/exon/ exon] 4 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/duplication/ duplication] (Patient F, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.clinical_features_of_individuals_/?report=objectonly Table 3]) presented at age 11 months (later than average) with disseminated CMV infection, which has not been noted in other children with VODI. In addition, the numbers of memory T and B cells were normal and intracellular cytokine production was normal, findings not observed in other children with VODI.
</div><div>Penetrance
 
Penetrance for the combined B and T-cell immunodeficiency has been 100% in individuals confirmed to have VODI caused by mutations in ''SP110''. Likewise, hVOD has been described in all probands or their [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/affected/ affected] siblings.


Approximately 10% of children with VODI, ascertained at a young age because of an [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/affected/ affected] sib and treated early in the disease course with IVIG, may manifest immunodeficiency only at presentation.
Onset is before age 12 months. The immunodeficiency comprises severe hypogammaglobulinemia, clinical evidence of T-cell immunodeficiency with normal numbers of circulating T cells, absent lymph node germinal centers, and absent tissue plasma cells. Bacterial and opportunistic infections including Pneumocystis jerovici infection, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and enteroviral or cytomegalovirus infections occur.
</div><div>Nomenclature
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (also called VODI) is a hereditary disorder of the liver and immune system. Its signs and symptoms appear after the first few months of life.


Hepatic veno-occlusive disease alone was known previously as Jamaican bush tea disease due to a dietary and geographic association. This term is now superseded by hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD) or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), terms less limiting given the occurrence of hVOD worldwide and it being secondary to other precipitants. The combination of hVOD and a combined immunodeficiency is termed VODI.
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease is a condition that blocks (occludes) small veins in the liver, disrupting blood flow in this organ. This condition can lead to enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), a buildup of scar tissue (hepatic fibrosis), and liver failure.<ref>http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/hepatic-veno-occlusive-disease-with-immunodeficiency</ref>
</div><div>Prevalence


VODI was described originally in Australians of Lebanese origin by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.mellis.1976.236 Mellis & Bale [1976]]. Subsequently, the majority of children reported with VODI have been of Lebanese origin. The prevalence of VODI in the Lebanese population of Sydney, Australia, has been calculated to be one in 2,500 [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.roscioli.2006.620 Roscioli et al 2006]].
Children with VODI are prone to recurrent infections caused by certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The organisms that cause infection in people with this disorder are described as opportunistic because they ordinarily do not cause illness in healthy people. These infections are usually serious and may be life-threatening. In most people with VODI, infections occur before hepatic veno-occlusive disease becomes evident.


The prevalence of VODI in children of non-Lebanese origin is unknown; however, the following reports suggest that the VODI [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/phenotype/ phenotype] is observed in other populations.
==Pathophysiology==
===Genetics===
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern


Additional reports of VODI:
VODI results from mutations in the SP110 gene.  This gene provides instructions for making a protein called SP110 nuclear body protein, which is involved in the normal function of the immune system. This protein likely helps regulate the activity of genes needed for the body's immune response to foreign invaders (such as viruses and bacteria).


* A [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/simplex-case/ simplex case] of VOD (i.e., a single occurrence in a family) with humoral and cellular immunodeficiency in the Spanish literature
Mutations in the SP110 gene prevent cells from making functional SP110 nuclear body protein, which impairs the immune system's ability to fight off infections. It is unclear how a lack of this protein affects blood flow in the liver.

''For current information on availability of genetic testing for disorders included in this section, see ''[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/GeneTests/lab?db=GeneTests ''GeneTests Laboratory Directory'']''.'' —ED.
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
VODI appears to be a rare disorder; approximately 20 affected families have been reported worldwide.  Most people diagnosed with the condition have been of Lebanese ancestry. However, the disorder has also been identified in several individuals with other backgrounds in the United States and Italy.


Although sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in association with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) was described in one case reported by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.washington.1993.485 Washington et al [1993]], and in one post-mortem HIV cohort reported by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.buckley.1995.398 Buckley & Hutchins [1995]], the lack of a recognized and replicated association of immunodeficiency with hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD) in other classes of immunodeficiency suggests that hVOD may be a primary feature of VODI rather than secondary to an immunodeficiency per se. No other associations of hVOD with immunodeficiency have been reported.
==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
Many people with VODI live only into childhood, although some affected individuals have lived to early adulthood.
VODI is associated with 90% mortality overall and 100% mortality if unrecognized and untreated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and Pneumocystis jerovici prophylaxis.


The primary differential diagnosis for hVOD alone would be environmental alkaloid or sinusoidal cell toxicity. However, hVOD has also been reported in association with alcoholic cirrhosis [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.kishi.1999.47S Kishi et al 1999]], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/ataxia-telangiectas/ ataxia-telangiectasia] [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.srisirirojanakorn.1999.786 Srisirirojanakorn et al 1999]], osteopetrosis [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.corbacioglu.2006.547 Corbacioglu et al 2006]] (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/clcn7/ ''CLCN7''-related osteopetrosis]), and hypereosinophilic syndrome. HIV should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for the immune [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/phenotype/ phenotype].
==Treatment==


Previous case-control studies using single-[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/nucleotide/ nucleotide] polymorphisms (SNPs) have also reported associations between hVOD and SNPs in the carbamyl phosphate synthetase 1 ''(CPS1'') (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/ucd-overview/ Urea Cycle Disorders Overview]), [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/factor-v-leiden/ factor V Leiden] (FVL), ''HFE'' (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/hemochromatosis/ ''HFE''-Associated Hereditary Hemochromatosis]), and glutathione S-transferase ''(GSTM1'' and ''GSTT1'') genes. Relative risks of 8.6 for the homozygous ''HFE'' Cys282Tyr [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/allele/ allele] and 4.12 for the ''GSTM1'' [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/null-allele/ null allele] have been reported [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.srivastava.2004.1574 Srivastava et al 2004], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.kallianpur.2005.1 Kallianpur 2005], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.kallianpur.2005.1155 Kallianpur et al 2005]].

The Sp110b protein isoform has been described as showing activity as a potent transcriptional co-repressor of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) perhaps via competitive exclusion of activators at receptor [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.watashi.2003.7498 Watashi et al 2003]].
'''Pathologic allelic variants''' (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/table/vodi.T.vodicausing_mutations_in_sp110/?report=objectonly Table 4]). ''SP110'' mutations associated with VODI have been described in the following:

* Exon 2: NM_080424.2:c.78_79delinsAT (p.Ile27Leu) (a)

The majority of these pathogenic mutations cause a frameshift with consequent protein truncation. The one exception to date is the c.78_79CA>AT [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/mutation/ mutation]. This dinucleotide substitution mutation includes the silent third base of [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/codon/ codon] 26 (GCC>GCA, both of which encode alanine) and the adjacent first base of codon 27 (ATA>TTA). The predicted isoleucine to leucine substitution is a relatively conservative change and is ordinarily well tolerated by proteins; however, in this instance, the mutation is located within the highly conserved Sp100 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/domain/ domain] of the SP110 protein which mediates dimerization of SP110 with other [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/gene/ gene] family members. A multispecies alignment of the protein sequence in this region shows that isoleucine27 is almost absolutely conserved, suggesting that this residue has a significant functional role in protein:protein interactions and may mediate the Sp140 related recruitment of Sp110 into the nuclear body.

Other domains that are common features of modular proteins involved in chromatin-mediated gene [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/transcription/ transcription] include a SAND domain (AA 452-532), a plant homeobox domain (AA 537-577), and a bromodomain (AA 606-674) [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1271/#vodi.REF.bloch.2000.6138 Bloch et al 2000]].
The majority of children with VODI present before age six months; however, as one child presented at age 11 months, [[molecular genetic testing]] should be considered in sibs of a [[ proband]] who are younger than age 12 months.


The Sp110 nuclear body protein is associated with the PML NB, a nuclear macromolecular complex, which is deployed to areas of active host or viral [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/dna/ DNA] replication, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/transcription/ transcription], and repair and has been reported to be involved in apoptosis, cell cycle control, and the immune response.
Penetrance is complete (i.e., 100%) in the individuals with VODI described to date; thus, [[ molecular genetic testing]] of healthy at-risk sibs of a [[ proband]] who are older than age 12 months is not recommended.


'''Abnormal [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/gene-product/ gene product].''' EBV-transformed B cells from an individual with VODI and a homozygous inactivating ''SP110'' [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/mutation/ mutation] have shown an absence of nuclear Sp100-specific immunolabeling in a setting of normal numbers of PML nuclear bodies.

Overview

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) is characterized by Primary immunodeficiency and terminal hepatic lobular vascular occlusion and hepatic fibrosis manifest as hepatomegaly and/or hepatic failure.

Onset is before age 12 months. The immunodeficiency comprises severe hypogammaglobulinemia, clinical evidence of T-cell immunodeficiency with normal numbers of circulating T cells, absent lymph node germinal centers, and absent tissue plasma cells. Bacterial and opportunistic infections including Pneumocystis jerovici infection, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and enteroviral or cytomegalovirus infections occur. Hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (also called VODI) is a hereditary disorder of the liver and immune system. Its signs and symptoms appear after the first few months of life.

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease is a condition that blocks (occludes) small veins in the liver, disrupting blood flow in this organ. This condition can lead to enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), a buildup of scar tissue (hepatic fibrosis), and liver failure.[1]

Children with VODI are prone to recurrent infections caused by certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The organisms that cause infection in people with this disorder are described as opportunistic because they ordinarily do not cause illness in healthy people. These infections are usually serious and may be life-threatening. In most people with VODI, infections occur before hepatic veno-occlusive disease becomes evident.

Pathophysiology

Genetics

This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern

VODI results from mutations in the SP110 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called SP110 nuclear body protein, which is involved in the normal function of the immune system. This protein likely helps regulate the activity of genes needed for the body's immune response to foreign invaders (such as viruses and bacteria).

Mutations in the SP110 gene prevent cells from making functional SP110 nuclear body protein, which impairs the immune system's ability to fight off infections. It is unclear how a lack of this protein affects blood flow in the liver.

Epidemiology and Demographics

VODI appears to be a rare disorder; approximately 20 affected families have been reported worldwide. Most people diagnosed with the condition have been of Lebanese ancestry. However, the disorder has also been identified in several individuals with other backgrounds in the United States and Italy.

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Many people with VODI live only into childhood, although some affected individuals have lived to early adulthood. VODI is associated with 90% mortality overall and 100% mortality if unrecognized and untreated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and Pneumocystis jerovici prophylaxis.

Treatment

Evaluations Following Initial Diagnosis[2]

To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI), the following evaluations are recommended:

  • Assessment of immune function including serum immunoglobulin levels, T- and B-cell numbers and percentages, and T-cell proliferative response to mitogens
  • More extensive immune testing for number of memory B and T cells and intracellular cytokine (IL2, IL4, IL6, and IFNγ) responses to stimulation, if available
  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Assessment of hepatic function (including serum concentrations of aminotransferases, bilirubin, and albumin) and assessment for sequelae of portal hypertension (including anemia and thrombocytopenia)

A clotting profile and a hepatic Doppler ultrasound examination should be undertaken prior to consideration of hepatic biopsy for a histologic diagnosis of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (hVOD). Evidence of impaired clotting and/or portal hypertension are contraindications to hepatic biopsy.

Treatment of Manifestations

Hypogammaglobulinemia is treated via intravenous immunoglobulin, which should commence at the diagnosis of hepatic veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) or in presymptomatic siblings confirmed to have homozygous SP110 mutations. An appropriate dose is 0.4g/kg every four weeks adjusting the dose to maintain a trough IgG level greater than 6 g/L.

Pneumocystis jerovici prophylaxis with cotrimoxazole pediatric suspension (5 mL = trimethoprim 40 mg and sulfamethoxazole 200 mg) should be ongoing in children with VODI who tolerate this medication. This may be administered as a single daily dose or as a single dose three days per week. The recommended dose is 5 mg trimethoprim per kg (0.625 mL/kg) or 150 mg/M2 (3.75 mL/M2).

Infections with specific agents should be treated with appropriate supportive care and antibacterials or antivirals.

HSCT and hepatic transplantation may be considered, but appear to have a high rate of complications in the VODI cohort studied to date

Prevention of Primary Manifestations

Initiation of regular intravenous immunoglobulin at the time of diagnosis to prevent infection related to severe hypogammaglobulinemia and cotrimoxazole prophylaxis to prevent Pneumocystis jerovici infection is appropriate

Prevention of Secondary Complications

Some evidence suggests that treatment of immunodeficiency early in VODI may reduce the risk of development or recurrence of hVOD.

Surveillance

  • Regular surveillance of hepatic function, platelet count, and hemoglobin level in children with VODI as hepatic failure and portal hypertension may occur
  • Measurement of immunoglobulin concentrations prior to IVIG infusions
  • Broncho-alveolar lavage to diagnose Pneumocystis jerovici infection; viral cultures or lung function studies as needed
Agents/Circumstances to Avoid

Agents known to predispose to hVOD such as cyclophosphamide and senecio alkaloids/bush teas should be avoided.

Bone marrow transplantation is not recommended.

Evaluation of Relatives at Risk

The majority of children with VODI present before age six months; however, as one child presented at age 11 months, molecular genetic testing should be considered in sibs of a proband who are younger than age 12 months.

Penetrance is complete (i.e., 100%) in the individuals with VODI described to date; thus, molecular genetic testing of healthy at-risk sibs of a proband who are older than age 12 months is not recommended.
