1 Defects of Innate Immunity

2 TLR signalling

3 IRAK4 and MyD88 AR Same clinical phenotype for both genes (Recurrent) invasive bacterial infections: Meningitis and septicemia >> skin Pneumococcus >> Staph aureus > Pseudomonas 40% of cases die of invasive bacterial infection Usually <2yo (no infections >8yo) Poor inflammatory response (fever, CRP)

4 TLR signalling

5 IRAK4 and MyD88 Test available: CD62L shedding (Tuesdays) Management: Immunisation Prophylactic antibiotics

6 Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia NEMO (XL) or IKBA (AD) gain of function Viral AND bacterial (pneumococcus) AND fungal (Candida) AND atypical mycobacteria Sepsis, gut infection, pneumonia Sparse hair, sparse conical teeth, cannot sweat (ectodysplasin receptor)

7 TLR signalling

8 Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia Tests: Clinical plus... Standard investigations of T and B cells Treatment depends on the level of ID Immunisations Prophylactic antibiotics IVIG HSCT

9 Candida CARD9 STAT1 gain of function IL17R IL17 (HIES: absent Th17 cells) (APECED: IL17 autoantibodies) (Combined IDs)

10 Defects associated with CMC

11 HPV WHIM Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia (and low B cells), ID and Myelokathexis (and neutropenia) CXCL4 (chemokine receptor) gain of function Ligand widely expressed EVER Warts only On lymphocytes and keratinocytes (Combined IDs e.g. DOCK8, GATA2, STK4)

12 Defects associated with HPV

13 HSV Encephalitis CNS: neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes Multiple genes: TLR3 (AD, AR) UNC93B (AR) TRAF3 (AD) TRIF (AD, AR) TBK1 (AD) HSV encephalitis only

14 Genetic susceptibility to HSE

16 Familial HLH Decreased or absent cytotoxicity WithOUT hypopigmentation Perforin (PRF1, FHL2) UNC13D (FHL3) STX11 (FHL4) STXBP2 (FHL5) With hypopigmentation (partial albinism) Chediak Higashi (LYST) Griscelli (RAB27)

17 HLH Primary HLH Secondary HLH Systemic autoimmune disease Malignancy Infection??

18 Diagnostic criteria for HLH A. Molecular diagnosis consistent with HLH: pathogenic mutations of PRF1, UNC13D, STXBP2, STX11, Rab27a, LYST, SH2D1A or XIAP B. Five of the eight criteria listed below are fulfilled 1. Fever 38.5 C 2. Splenomegaly 3. Cytopaenias (affecting at least 2 of 3 lineages in peripheral blood) Hb <90g/L (in infants <4 weeks: Hb<100g/L) Platelets <100 x 10 9 /L Neutrophils <1 x 10 9 /L 4. Hypertriglyceridemia (fasting 3mmol/L) and/or hypofibrinogemia ( 1.5g/L) 5. Ferritin 500μg/L 6. Elevated scd25 (α-chain of sil-2 receptor) 7. Haemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes or liver 8. Low or absent NK cell activity Henter J et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2007;48:

20 Ferritin and scd25 (IL2Rα) Ferritin 500μg/L in HLH-04 criteria Recent studies >10 000μg/L highly sensitive (90%) and specific (96%) for HLH Rate of decline of ferritin may be useful prognostic marker Lin T et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2011;56: Allen C et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2008;50:

21 Ferritin and scd25 (IL2Rα) Interleukin-2 receptor-α Upregulated on activated T cells Elevated in inflammation High levels in HLH Normal ranges for levels of scd25 vary with age Method dependent Komp DM et al Blood :
