Impairment of immunity to Candida and Mycobacterium in humans with bi-allelic RORC mutations

Abstract: Human inborn errors of immunity mediated by the cytokines interleukin (IL)-17A/F underlie mucocutaneous candidiasis, whereas inborn errors of interferon (IFN)-γ immunity underlie mycobacterial disease. We report the discovery of bi-allelic RORC loss-of-function mutations in seven individuals from three kindreds of different ethnic origins with both candidiasis and mycobacteriosis. The lack of functional RORγ and RORγT isoforms resulted in the absence of IL-17A/F-producing T cells in these individuals, probably… Show more

“…Patients with these mutations, who had long been known to be prone to thyroid autoimmunity, were recently found to display other infectious and autoimmune phenotypes (16,17,23,37,51). Another genetic etiology of syndromic CMCD has recently been described, with AR retinoic acid-related orphan receptors γ (ROR-γ/γT) deficiency in three kindreds with CMC and severe mycobacterial disease (53).…”

“…These patients display dysfunctional IL-17F and -17A/F (IL-17F mutations) or dysfunctional responses to IL-17A, -17A/F, and -17F (mutations in IL-17RA, -17RC, and ACT1). In patients with AD HIES (54)(55)(56)(57), AD STAT1 GOF (13, 18, 21, 27-29, 32, 35, 36, 38, 39, 41, 42, 45, 46, 49), or AR ROR-γ/γT deficiency (53), the development of IL-17A/F-producing T cells is impaired. Finally, patients with AR APS-1 have high titers of neutralizing auto-Abs against IL-17A and -17F (58,59).…”

“…These patients also presented various other infectious and autoimmune features. Surprisingly, we identified biallelic mutations of RAR-related orphan receptor C (RORC) in patients with both CMC and mycobacterial disease (76). RORC encodes the isoforms and transcription factors ROR-γ and ROR-γT, which govern Th17 development in mice.…”

“…Immunity to Mycobacterium and Candida is impaired in these patients, explained by a defective IFN-γ response to Mycobacterium and the absence of IL-17A/F, respectively (15).…”
