Abstract
Adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (DADA2), a rare and potentially fatal systemic autoinflammatory disease, is characterized by low or lack of ADA2 activity due to ADA2 mutations. DADA2 symptoms are variable and include vasculitis, immunodeficiency, and cytopenia. Minimal data are available from Saudi Arabia. This retrospective study conducted at seven major tertiary medical centers examined the phenotypic and genotypic variabilities, clinical and diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes among 20 Saudi patients with DADA2 from 14 families. The median age of the study cohort was 9.5 years (4-26 years). The clinical presentation was before the age of 5 months in 25% of patients. Homozygous c.1447-1451del mutation was the most frequent ADA2 alteration (40%), followed by c.882-2A:G (30%). All tested patients exhibited absent or near-absent ADA2 activity. Phenotypic manifestations included stroke (40%), hematological abnormalities (95%), lymphoproliferation (65%), and recurrent infection (45%). Five and three patients had extracranial vasculitis features and Hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. Atypical manifestations included growth retardation (30%) and transverse myelitis. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy was the main treatment. Some patients underwent blood transfusion, splenectomy, cyclosporine and colony-stimulating factor therapies, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to anti-TNF therapy failure. Fulminant hepatitis and septic multiorgan failure caused mortality in three patients. Thus, this study revealed the variability in the molecular and clinical characteristics of DADA2 in the study cohort with predominant aberrant hematological and immunological characteristics. Consensus diagnostic criteria will facilitate early diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, disease registries or large prospective studies are needed for evaluating rare disease complications, such as cancer.

Abstract
Deficiency of adenosine deaminase type 2 (DADA2) was first described in 2014 as a monogenic cause of polyartertitis nodosa (PAN), early onset lacunar stroke and livedo reticularis. The clinical phenotype of DADA2 is, however, very broad and may involve several organ systems. Apart from vasculitis, children may present with i) Hematological manifestations (ii) Lymphoproliferation and iii) Immunodeficiencies. Patients with DADA2 can have variable patterns of cytopenias and bone marrow failure syndromes. Patients with DADA2 who have predominant haematological manifestations are associated with ADA2 gene variants that result in minimal or no residual ADA2 activity. Lymphoproliferation in patients with DADA2 may range from benign lymphoid hyperplasia to lymphoreticular malignancies. Patients may present with generalized lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) like phenotype, Hodgkin lymphoma, T-cell large granular lymphocytic infiltration of bone marrow and multicentric Castleman disease. Immunodeficiencies associated with DADA are usually mild. Affected patients have variable hypogammaglobulinemia, decrease in B cells, low natural killer cells, common variable immunodeficiency and rarely T cell immunodeficiency. To conclude, DADA2 has an extremely variable phenotype and needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis in diverse clinical conditions. In this review, we describe the evolving clinical phenotypes of DADA2 with a special focus on haematological and immunological manifestations.
