Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) is an immunodeficiency caused by defects in the adhesion of leukocytes (especially neutrophils) to the blood vessel wall. As a result, patients with LAD suffer from severe bacterial infections and impaired wound healing, accompanied by neutrophilia. In LAD-I, characterized directly after birth by delayed separation of the umbilical cord, mutations are found in ITGB2, the gene that encodes the β subunit (CD18) of the β2 integrins. In the rare LAD-II disease, the fucosylation of selectin ligands is disturbed, caused by mutations in SLC35C1, the gene that encodes a GDP-fucose transporter of the Golgi system. LAD-II patients lack the H and Lewis Lea and Leb blood group antigens. Finally, in LAD-III, the conformational activation of the hematopoietically expressed β integrins is disturbed, leading to leukocyte and platelet dysfunction. This last syndrome is caused by mutations in FERMT3, encoding the kindlin-3 protein in all blood cells, involved in the regulation of β integrin conformation. This article contains an update of the mutations that we consider to be relevant for the various forms of LAD.

Suksawat Y, Pacharn P, Siripipattanamongkol N, Boonyawat B. Three novel homozygous ITGB2 mutations among two patients with leukocyte adhesion defect type-1: Two case reports. World J Clin Pediatr 2022; 11:429-436. [PMID: 36185095 PMCID: PMC9516493 DOI: 10.5409/wjcp.v11.i5.429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A leukocyte adhesion defect (LAD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder. LAD type 1 (LAD-1) is the most common, which is caused by ITGB2 mutation resulting in dysfunction of β2 integrin, which impairs leukocyte adherence to the endothelium.
CASE SUMMARY The first two cases of LAD-1 in Thailand presented with recurrent omphalitis, soft tissue infection, marked leukocytosis, and neutrophilia. One patient experienced delayed umbilical cord separation. Mutation analysis was performed by direct DNA sequencing of the ITGB2 gene. The results revealed two novel homozygous missense mutations, c.920C>T (p.Leu307Pro) in exon 8 and c.758G>A (p.Arg253His) in exon 7, and one novel homozygous nonsense mutation, c.262C>T (p.Gln88Ter) in exon 4, in the genomic DNA of the first and second patients, respectively. Heterozygous mutations were identified in the parents of both patients, suggesting a carrier status. The patients were administered intravenous antibiotics for infections with good clinical responses. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could not be performed due to the unavailability of matched donors. However, a significant decline in infections was observed after antibiotic prophylaxis. Several follow-up visits were conducted for both patients. They are currently 6 years old.
CONCLUSION Molecular analysis is essential for definitive diagnosis, early treatment implementation, and prevention of LAD-1 in future pregnancy.

Novel ITGB2 Mutation Is Responsible for a Severe Form of Leucocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1141280. [PMID: 35281597 PMCID: PMC8913115 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1141280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD1) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by recurrent infections, impaired pus formation, delayed wound healing, omphalitis, and delayed separation of the umbilical cord as hallmark features of the disease. It results from mutations in the integrin β2 subunit gene ITGB2, which encodes the integrin beta chain-2 protein CD18. In this study, we aimed to investigate the case of a five-month-old boy who presented with a clinical phenotype and flow cytometry results suggesting LAD1 disease. Sanger sequencing of all exons and intron boundaries of ITGB2 identified a novel in-frame deletion in exon 7 (ITGB2 c.844_846delAAC, p.Asn282del) in the patient. The p.Asn282del mutation was heterozygous in the child's parents, whereas it was absent in the 96 control individuals from North Africa. This variant was evaluated by two in silico mutation analysis tools, PROVEAN and MutationTaster, which predicted that the mutation was likely to be pathogenic. In addition, molecular modeling with the YASARA View software suggested that this novel mutation may affect the structure of integrin beta-2 and, subsequently, its interaction with integrin alpha-X. In summary, we report a novel pathogenic mutation p.Asn282del associated with LAD1 that expands the mutation diversity of ITGB2 and suggest the combination of flow cytometry and ITGB2 sequencing as a first-line diagnostic approach for LAD disease.
