Clinical, Immunological, and Molecular Findings in Five Patients with Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Deficiency from India

Abstract: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive form of primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID) characterized by the deficiency of MHC class II molecules. This deficiency affects the cellular and humoral immune response by impairing the development of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells and Th cell-dependent antibody production by B cells. Affected children typically present with severe respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC… Show more

“…Newborn screening has enabled prompter diagnosis and earlier transplantation, entailing a higher survival rate, for patients with severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID), 11‐13 but it is important to note that patients with MCH II deficiency may present with detectable levels of TRECs, and thus can be missed by newborn screening 1,14 …”

“…The utmost challenging facet of PIDs is under diagnosis, owing to the high incidence of infectious diseases in countries like India [175]. Whole exome sequencing approach has proved to be instrumental in identifying mutations in capillary sequencing negative cases of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) [149], severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) [148], B cell expansion with NF-ÎșB, and T cell anergy (BENTA) [176], apart from targeted next generation sequencing in SCID [177] and major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency [178].…”
