Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome due to somatic FAS mutations (ALPS-SFAS)
- Heritable disorder of apoptosis, resulting in the accumulation of autoreactive lymphocytes.[1]
- Manifests in early childhood as nonmalignant lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly and autoimmune cytopenias.[1]
- Patients with mutations have developed B and T-cell lymphomas.[2]
- Peripheral blood analysis in patients has demonstrated hypergammaglobulinemia along with increased numbers of B and T lymphocytes.[3]
- Some studies have demonstrated that ALPS is compatible with long-term survival.[4][5]
RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease (RALD)
- Originally considered a subtype of RAS due to the significant overlap.[6][7]
- A leukoproliferative disorder characterized by lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and variable autoimmune phenomena, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and neutropenia.[6][7]
- Some patients have recurrent infections with increased risk of hematologic malignancy.[6][7]
- Mutated genes involved
- NRAS and KRAS
Cryopyrinopathy (Muckle-Wells Syndrome)
- Caused by heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding cryopyrin (NLRP3) and the locus identified at chromosome 1q44.[8][9]
- Characterized by episodic skin rash, arthralgias, and fever associated with late-onset sensorineural deafness and renal amyloidosis.[10]
- Limb pains emphasized on as a feature.[11]
Hypereosinophilic syndrome due to somatic mutations in STAT5b
- Characterized by atopic dermatitis, urticarial rash, diarrhea and eosinophilia
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis
- Includes a group of rare disorders with altered immune responses, selective against Candida.[12]
- Characterized by persistent and/or recurrent infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes caused mainly by Candida albicans.[12]
- Can also be associated with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) syndrome which is driven by Mutations in AIRE (autoimmune regulator).[13][14][15]
- High titers of neutralizing autoantibodies against IL-17 and/or IL-22 are also detected.[16]
Adult-onset immunodeficiency with susceptibility to mycobacteria
- A disorder predominantly found in Southeast Asians.[17][18]
- Associated with severe or disseminated infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria and other opportunistic pathogens such as non-typhoidal salmonella, cytomegalovirus, varicella zoster virus and some fungi.[19][20]
- An infection may act as an initial trigger for the production of autoantibodies with repeated infections leading to increased activity.[19][20]
Recurrent skin infections
- Patients with recurrent staphylococcal cellulitis and subcutaneous abscesses have shown high titers of IgG1 autoantibodies against IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine released by several important cellular lineages of the skin.[21][22]
- The autoantibodies against IL-6 prevent the increase in CRP concentration during infection and the impaired IL-6 mediated immunity contributes to the disease development.[21]
- Autosomal dominant deficiency of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) can also lead to cutaneous infections typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus.[23]
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
- It is characterized by intraalveolar surfactant accumulation.
- A severe autoimmune disease caused by autoantibodies against granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) resulting in impaired function of alveolar macrophages.[24]
- Lung biopsy shows preserved lung architecture with alveoli filled with granular, eosinophilic PAS-positive material with degenerating macrophages.[25]
- Hereditary pulomonary alveolar proteinosis may be caused by compound heterozygous abnormalities affecting the CSF2RA gene and CSF2 signaling is critical for surfactant homeostasis in humans.[26]
- Patients with pulomonary alveolar proteinosis can also present with cryptococcal meningitis in the setting of anti-GM-CSF autoantibodies as GM-CSF regulates the function of phagocytes and pulmonary alveolar macrophages, critical elements in cryptococcal control.[27][28]
Acquired angioedema
- A rare disorder that causes recurrent episodes of swelling (edema) of the face or body.
- The edema can involve the lining of the digestive tract causing abdominal pain and may require unnecessary laparotomy. It can also involve the upper airway, which can be life-threatening.[29][30]
- It can occur due to the deficiency of C1 inhibitor in the setting of autoantibodies against it.[31][32][33]
- It has been associated with benign or malignant B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, or essential cryoglobulinemia.[34]
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS)
- It is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy that associates, in 70% of cases, with genetic or acquired disorders leading to dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway.[35]
- It can present with anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, and acute renal failure. Renal biopsy shows a thrombotic microangiopathy and deposition of complement component C3 in vessel walls.[36]
- Autoantibodies against Factor H causes at least 6% to 10% of aHUS cases.[35]
- aHUS in the setting of antibodies against Factor H primarily affects children between 9 and 13 years old but it also affects adults.[35]
Thymoma with hypogammaglobulinemia (Good syndrome)
- It is a rare acquired combined T- and B-cell immunodeficiency associated with thymoma.[37]
- It can present with intractable opportunistic infections, lichen planus and therapy resistant secretory diarrhea.[37][38]
- Laboratory examination results indicate hypogammaglobulinemia and complete absence or decrease in the proportion of cells bearing B cells markers.[37][39]
