Inherited MST1 Deficiency Underlies Susceptibility to EV-HPV Infections
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is characterized by persistent cutaneous lesions caused by a specific group of related human papillomavirus genotypes (EV-HPVs) in otherwise healthy individuals. Autosomal recessive (AR) EVER1 and EVER2 deficiencies account for two thirds of known cases of EV. AR RHOH deficiency has recently been described in two siblings with EV-HPV infections as well as ot...
متن کاملHuman RHOH deficiency causes T cell defects and susceptibility to EV-HPV infections.
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to specific human papillomaviruses, the betapapillomaviruses. These EV-HPVs cause warts and increase the risk of skin carcinomas in otherwise healthy individuals. Inactivating mutations in epidermodysplasia verruciformis 1 (EVER1) or EVER2 have been identified in most, but not all, patients...
متن کاملInherited GINS1 deficiency underlies growth retardation along with neutropenia and NK cell deficiency.
Inborn errors of DNA repair or replication underlie a variety of clinical phenotypes. We studied 5 patients from 4 kindreds, all of whom displayed intrauterine growth retardation, chronic neutropenia, and NK cell deficiency. Four of the 5 patients also had postnatal growth retardation. The association of neutropenia and NK cell deficiency, which is unusual among primary immunodeficiencies and b...

May 2004, Vol. 94, No. 5 SAMJ Meningococcal disease remains one of the most serious bacterial infections in both Western and developing countries. Despite recent advances in treatment the mortality rate remains at about 12%. There is a group of South Africans who are particularly vulnerable to this disease. They are individuals with genetically determined deficiencies of individual terminal com...
متن کاملRecurrent rhinovirus infections in a child with inherited MDA5 deficiency
MDA5 is a cytosolic sensor of double-stranded RNA (ds)RNA including viral byproducts and intermediates. We studied a child with life-threatening, recurrent respiratory tract infections, caused by viruses including human rhinovirus (HRV), influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). We identified in her a homozygous missense mutation in IFIH1 that encodes MDA5. Mutant MDA5 was express...
