Clinico-Immunological Heterogeneity in Comèl-Netherton Syndrome

Abstract: Background: Comèl-Netherton syndrome (CN) is characterized by atopic-eczema-like skin abnormalities combined with linear ichthyotic lesions, hair shaft abnormalities and atopy with high IgE levels. Objective: Five children with CN are described. In 2 of the 3 CN patients still alive, analysis of cytokines regulating IgE synthesis was performed. Methods: In peripheral blood mononuclear cells and cultures of purified T cells, mRNA expression and protein production of interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-13, IL-5 and interfe… Show more

“…Tissue distribution and Kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitory activity suggest that LEKTI may be involved in epidermal barrier function and immunity. Its disruption by mutations of SPINK5 in Netherton syndrome may affect T cell differentiation leading to IgE overproduction [16]and to perturbed epidermal cell growth and differentiation. The manifestations of skin cancer developed in our patient are very striking.…”

“…[20]. Patienten zeigen einen breit gefächer-ten Immundefekt, der sich durch eine reduzierte spezifische Antikörperbildung gegen Pneumokokkenantigen und dem Neoantigen Bakteriophage phiX174, einer reduzierten NK-Zellzytotoxizität und verminderter B-Gedächtniszellzahl im peripheren Blut auszeichnet [9,15,31,36].…”
