Zamani R, Zoghi S, Shahkarami S, Seyedpour S, Jimenez Heredia R, Boztug K, Rezaei N. Novel CARMIL2 (RLTPR) Mutation Presenting with Hyper-IgE and Eosinophilia: A Case Report. Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2024; 24:596-605. [PMID: 37855284 DOI: 10.2174/0118715303263327230922043929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inborn errors of immunity are a growing group of disorders with a wide spectrum of genotypic and phenotypic profiles. CARMIL2 (previously named RLTPR) deficiency is a recently described cause of immune dysregulation, mainly presenting with allergy, mucocutaneous infections, and inflammatory bowel disease. CARMIL2 deficiency is categorized under diseases of immune dysregulation with susceptibility to lymphoproliferative conditions. CASE PRESENTATION Here we describe a 29-years-old male from a consanguineous family, with food and sting allergy, allergic rhinitis, facial molluscum contagiosum (viral infection of the skin in the form of umbilicated papules), eosinophilia and highly elevated serum IgE level. Whole exome sequencing revealed numerous homozygous variants, including a CARMIL2 nonsense mutation, a gene regulating actin polymerization, and promoting cell protrusion formation. CONCLUSION The selective role of CARMIL2 in T cell activation and maturation through cytoskeletal organization is proposed to be the cause of immune dysregulation in individuals with CARMIL2 deficiency. CARMIL2 has an important role in immune pathways regulation, through cell maturation and differentiation, giving rise to a balance between Th1, Th2, and Th17 immune response. This case can improve the understanding of the different impacts of CARMIL2 mutations on immune pathways and further guide the diagnosis of patients with similar phenotypes.

Human CARMIL2 deficiency underlies a broader immunological and clinical phenotype than CD28 deficiency. J Exp Med 2023; 220:e20220275. [PMID: 36515678 PMCID: PMC9754768 DOI: 10.1084/jem.20220275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with inherited CARMIL2 or CD28 deficiency have defective T cell CD28 signaling, but their immunological and clinical phenotypes remain largely unknown. We show that only one of three CARMIL2 isoforms is produced and functional across leukocyte subsets. Tested mutant CARMIL2 alleles from 89 patients and 52 families impair canonical NF-κB but not AP-1 and NFAT activation in T cells stimulated via CD28. Like CD28-deficient patients, CARMIL2-deficient patients display recalcitrant warts and low blood counts of CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells and CD4+ TREGs. Unlike CD28-deficient patients, they have low counts of NK cells and memory B cells, and their antibody responses are weak. CARMIL2 deficiency is fully penetrant by the age of 10 yr and is characterized by numerous infections, EBV+ smooth muscle tumors, and mucocutaneous inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with somatic reversions of a mutant allele in CD4+ T cells have milder phenotypes. Our study suggests that CARMIL2 governs immunological pathways beyond CD28.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CARMIL2 cause combined immunodeficiency associated with dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and EBV-related smooth muscle tumors. Clinical and immunological characterizations of the disease with long-term follow-up and treatment options have not been previously reported in large cohorts. We sought to determine the clinical and immunological features of CARMIL2 deficiency and long-term efficacy of treatment in controlling different disease manifestations. METHODS The presenting phenotypes, long-term outcomes, and treatment responses were evaluated prospectively in 15 CARMIL2-deficient patients, including 13 novel cases. Lymphocyte subpopulations, protein expression, regulatory T (Treg), and circulating T follicular helper (cTFH ) cells were analyzed. Three-dimensional (3D) migration assay was performed to determine T-cell shape. RESULTS Mean age at disease onset was 38 ± 23 months. Main clinical features were skin manifestations (n = 14, 93%), failure to thrive (n = 10, 67%), recurrent infections (n = 10, 67%), allergic symptoms (n = 8, 53%), chronic diarrhea (n = 4, 27%), and EBV-related leiomyoma (n = 2, 13%). Skin manifestations ranged from atopic and seborrheic dermatitis to psoriasiform rash. Patients had reduced proportions of memory CD4+ T cells, Treg, and cTFH cells. Memory B and NK cells were also decreased. CARMIL2-deficient T cells exhibited reduced T-cell proliferation and cytokine production following CD28 co-stimulation and normal morphology when migrating in a high-density 3D collagen gel matrix. IBD was the most severe clinical manifestation, leading to growth retardation, requiring multiple interventional treatments. All patients were alive with a median follow-up of 10.8 years (range: 3-17 years). CONCLUSION This cohort provides clinical and immunological features and long-term follow-up of different manifestations of CARMIL2 deficiency.

Front Pediatr 2022; 10:1042302. [PMID: 36727012 PMCID: PMC9884805 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.1042302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Capping protein regulator and myosin 1 linker 2 (CARMIL2) is necessary for invadopodia formation, cell polarity, lamellipodial assembly, membrane ruffling, acropinocytosis, and collective cell migration. CARMIL2 deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by dysfunction in naïve T-cell activation, proliferation, differentiation, and effector function and insufficient responses in T-cell memory. In this paper, we report a 9-year-old female patient with a novel pathogenic variant in CARMIL2 (c.2063C > G:p.Thr688Arg) who presented with various symptoms of primary immunodeficiencies including recurrent upper and lower respiratory infections, perioral and perineum papules, reddish impetiginized atopic dermatitis, oral ulcer, painful urination and vaginitis, otitis media, and failure to thrive. A missense mutation leading to insufficient CARMIL2 protein expression, reduced absolute T-cell and natural killer cell (NK cell) counts, and marked skewing to the naïve T-cell form was identified and indicated defective maturation of T cells and B cells. Following 1 year of multitargeted treatment with corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, mycophenolate mofetil, and thymosin, the patient presented with significant regression in rashes. CD4+ T-cell, CD8+ T-cell, and NK cell counts were significantly improved.

Abstract
Monogenic diseases of the immune system, also known as inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), are caused by single-gene mutations and result in immune deficiency and dysregulation. More than 400 monogenic diseases have been described to date, and this number is rapidly expanding. The increasing availability of next-generation sequencing is now facilitating the diagnosis of IEIs. It is known that IEIs can predispose a person to not only infectious diseases but also cancer and immune disorders, such as inflammatory, autoimmune, and atopic diseases. IEIs with eosinophilia and atopic diseases can occur in several disorders. IEIs with eosinophilia have provided insights into human immunity and the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Eosinophilia is not a rare finding in clinical practice, and it often poses problems in terms of etiologic research and differential diagnoses. Secondary eosinophilia is the most common form. The main underlying conditions are infectious diseases such as parasitic infections, allergic disorders, drug reactions, and of course IEIs. In clinical settings, the recognition of IEIs in the context of an allergic phenotype with eosinophilia is critical for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment aimed at modulating pathophysiological mechanisms and improving clinical symptoms.

Abstract
Simple Summary Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a common virus that is readily controlled by a healthy immune system and rarely causes serious problems in infected people. However, patients with certain genetic defects of their immune system might have difficulties controlling EBV and often develop severe and life-threatening conditions, such as severe inflammation and malignancies. In this review, we provide a summary of inherited immune diseases that lead to a high susceptibility to EBV infection and discuss how this infection is associated with cancer development. Abstract Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous virus affecting more than 90% of the world’s population. Upon infection, it establishes latency in B cells. It is a rather benign virus for immune-competent individuals, in whom infections usually go unnoticed. Nevertheless, EBV has been extensively associated with tumorigenesis. Patients suffering from certain inborn errors of immunity are at high risk of developing malignancies, while infection in the majority of immune-competent individuals does not seem to lead to immune dysregulation. Herein, we discuss how inborn mutations in TNFRSF9, CD27, CD70, CORO1A, CTPS1, ITK, MAGT1, RASGRP1, STK4, CARMIL2, SH2D1A, and XIAP affect the development, differentiation, and function of key factors involved in the immunity against EBV, leading to increased susceptibility to lymphoproliferative disease and lymphoma.

Abstract
Bi-allelic variants in the dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) gene cause a combined immunodeficiency, characterized by recurrent sinopulmonary and skin infections, food allergies, eczema, eosinophilia, and elevated IgE. Long-term outcome is poor given susceptibility to infections, malignancy, and vascular complications. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the only curative treatment option and has shown promising outcome. The impact of mixed chimerism on long-term outcome is unclear. We reasoned that reversal of disease phenotype would depend on cell lineage-specific chimerism. DOCK8 variants were confirmed by Sanger and/or exome sequencing and immunoblot and/or intracellular flow cytometry. Donor chimerism was analyzed by XY-fluorescence in situ hybridization or quantitative short tandem repeat PCR. Outcome was assessed by laboratory tests, lymphocyte subsets, intracellular DOCK8 protein flow cytometry, T-cell proliferation analysis, and multiparameter immunoblot allergy screening. We report on nine patients, four of whom with mixed chimerism, with a median follow-up of 78 months after transplantation. Overall, we report successful transplantation with improvement of susceptibility to infections and allergies, and resolution of eczema in all patients. Immunological outcome in patients with mixed chimerism suggests a selective advantage for wild-type donor T-cells but lower donor B-cell chimerism possibly results in a tendency to hypogammaglobulinemia. No increased infectious and allergic complications were associated with mixed chimerism. Aware of the relatively small cohort size, we could not demonstrate a consistent detrimental effect of mixed chimerism on clinical outcomes. We nevertheless advocate aiming for complete donor chimerism in treating DOCK8 deficiency, but recommend reduced toxicity conditioning.

Abstract
A five year girl had eczema and allergic rhinitis in the past, presented with a history of cough, shortness of breath for the last one month. Her chest -X-ray showed a left side pleural effusion, and a computed tomographic scan (CT) of the chest showed left side hydropneumothorax. Left side 21 Fr drain was inserted. Her clinical condition deteriorated despite antimicrobial therapy, and she required mechanical ventilatory support due to respiratory distress. She also developed a right-sided pneumothorax that was managed by inserting a 21 Fr chest drain. A video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS procedure was done to staple the lung bullae and drain the empyema. Her post-operative chest X-ray showed good lung expansion. Pleural fluid culture report was positive for candida. She was commenced on antifungal microbial therapy. Two days later, she developed again left side pneumothorax, which was again managed by left intercostal drain. We were unable to wean her off from mechanical ventilatory support due to a significant air leak due to bronchopleural fistula. A posterolateral thoracotomy was performed, and the bronchopleural fistula was closed. She was extubated the next day, and intercostal drains were removed on the 4th post-operative day.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the findings of the 2019 Society for Hematopathology/European Association for Haematopathology Workshop within the categories of reactive eosinophilia, hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), germline disorders with eosinophilia (GDE), and myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms associated with eosinophilia (excluding entities covered by other studies in this series). METHODS The workshop panel reviewed 109 cases, assigned consensus diagnosis, and created diagnosis-specific sessions. RESULTS The most frequent diagnosis was reactive eosinophilia (35), followed by acute leukemia (24). Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) received 17 submissions, including chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified (CEL, NOS). Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), MDS/MPN, and therapy-related myeloid neoplasms received 11, while GDE and HES received 12 and 11 submissions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Hypereosinophilia and HES are defined by specific clinical and laboratory criteria. Eosinophilia is commonly reactive. An acute leukemic onset with eosinophilia may suggest core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia, blast phase of chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR-ABL1-positive leukemia, or t(5;14) B-lymphoblastic leukemia. Eosinophilia is rare in MDS but common in MDS/MPN. CEL, NOS is a clinically aggressive MPN with eosinophilia as the dominant feature. Bone marrow morphology and cytogenetic and/or molecular clonality may distinguish CEL from HES. Molecular testing helps to better subclassify myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia and to identify patients for targeted treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Our understanding of risk factors and mechanisms underlying immunosuppression-related lymphoproliferative disorders continues to evolve. An increasing number of patients are living with altered immune status due to HIV, solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, treatment of autoimmune disease, or advanced age. This review covers advances in understanding, emerging trends, and revisions to diagnostic guidelines. RECENT FINDINGS The tumor microenvironment, including interactions between the host immune system and tumor cells, is of increasing interest in the setting of immunosuppression. While some forms of lymphoproliferative disease are associated with unique risk factors, common mechanisms are also emerging. Indolent forms, such as Epstein-Barr virus positive mucocutaneous ulcer, are important to recognize. As methods to modulate the immune system evolve, more data are needed to understand and minimize lymphoproliferative disease risk. A better understanding of individual risk factors and common mechanisms underlying immunosuppression-related lymphoproliferations will ultimately enable improved prevention and treatment of these disorders.

Abstract
CARMIL2 deficiency is a rare combined immunodeficiency (CID) characterized by defective CD28-mediated T cell co-stimulation, altered cytoskeletal dynamics, and susceptibility to Epstein Barr Virus smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMTs). Case reports associated with EBV-SMTs are limited. We describe herein a novel homozygous CARMIL2 variant (c.1364_1393del) in two Saudi Arabian male siblings born to consanguineous parents who developed EBV-SMTs. CARMIL2 protein expression was significantly reduced in CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. T cell proliferation on stimulation with soluble (s) anti-CD3 or (s) anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 antibodies was close to absent in the proband, confirming altered CD28-mediated co-signaling. CD28 expression was substantially reduced in the proband's T cells, and was diminished to a lesser degree in the T cells of the younger sibling, who has a milder clinical phenotype. Defects in both T and B cell compartments were observed, including absent central memory CD8+ T cells, and decreased frequencies of total and class-switched memory B cells. FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) were also quantitatively decreased, and furthermore CD25 expression within the Treg subset was substantially reduced. These data confirm the pathogenicity of this novel loss-of-function (LOF) variant in CARMIL2 and expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of CIDs associated with EBV-SMTs.

Abstract
The unique architecture of the spleen enables it to play a key role in the interactions between the circulatory, reticuloendothelial and immune systems. Response to circulating antigens in the setting of infection, autoimmune disease or other conditions may result in a range of benign lymphoid proliferations. Moreover, patients with underlying immune deficiency may also show abnormal lymphoid proliferations within the spleen. This review will highlight the histologic, immunophenotypic and clinical features of reactive lymphoid proliferations to aid in their recognition and provide a context for understanding their development in relation to normal splenic structure and function.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen, infecting > 90% of the adult population. In the vast majority of healthy individuals, infection with EBV runs a relatively benign course. However, EBV is by no means a benign pathogen. Indeed, apart from being associated with at least seven different types of malignancies, EBV infection can cause severe and often fatal diseases-hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, lymphoproliferative disease, B-cell lymphoma-in rare individuals with specific monogenic inborn errors of immunity. The discovery and detailed investigation of inborn errors of immunity characterized by heightened susceptibility to, or increased frequency of, EBV-induced disease have elegantly revealed cell types and signaling pathways that play critical and non-redundant roles in host-defense against EBV. These analyses have revealed not only mechanisms underlying EBV-induced disease in rare genetic conditions, but also identified molecules and pathways that could be targeted to treat severe EBV infection and pathological consequences in immunodeficient hosts, or even potentially enhance the efficacy of an EBV-specific vaccine.
