[Immunophenotyping by spectral cytometry reveals a profile of lymphopenia associated with deregulation with an increase in effector memory lymphocytes in a patient with a mutation in the ITPR3 gene].
Revista Alergia Mexico : Organo Oficial de la Sociedad Mexicana de Alergia e Inmunología, A.C 2024 Februrary 2
BACKGROUND: Variants in intracellular calcium transport genes have been associated with syndromic immunodeficiencies with a SCID phenotype.
CASE REPORT: Seven-year-old girl of non-consanguineous parents, in Cartagena-Colombia. At two months of age, he presented hematochezia and was diagnosed with alimentary proctolitis without improvement with restriction to milk, wheat and eggs, and malnutrition developed. At eight months, a colon biopsy shows chronic lymphoid hyperplasia, presenting with anemia, eosinophilia, but total and specific IgE to normal foods. After four years, the Immunology Service found her asymptomatic, nutritionally recovered and without allergic sensitization, but eosinophilia and elevated calprotectin persisted, suggesting an early-onset inflammatory bowel disease. Immunoglobulins were normal, lymphocyte populations with CD3, CD4 and CD8 lymphopenia. At six years old, she presented atopic dermatitis, still had elevated calprotectin and was lymphopenic. Immunophenotyping by spectral cytometry using Cytek® cFluor® Immunoprofiling-Kit14 showed lymphopenia and CD4/CD8 inversion. Naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were decreased, while T-CD8+CD45RA-CCR7- and T-CD8+CD45RA+CCR7- effector memory populations were expanded. Effector and central memory CD4+ T-lymphocytes were also increased1 (Image 1). The exome revealed a heterozygous variant in the ITPR3 gene (carrier father), c.7571G>A, p.(Arg2524His); predictors classify it as having a potential eliminating effect.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical features and immunophenotype of this candidate variant differ from others related to intracellular calcium transport. They are functional studies necessary to validate their causality. A patient with a potentially deleted variant presents an immunophenotype with CD3 lymphopenia and persistent lymphocyte activation.
