Abstract

Mutations in the Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) gene cause an autosomal recessive form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) usually characterized by the absence of both T and NK cells, but preserved numbers of B lymphocytes (T-B+NK-SCID). The detection of larger (>100 bp) genomic duplications or deletions can be more difficult to be detected by PCR-based methods or standard NGS protocols, and a broad range of mutation detection techniques are necessary. We report four unrelated Italian patients (two females and two males) with SCID phenotype. Protein expression, functional studies, molecular analysis by standard methods and NGS, and transcripts studies were performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Here, we describe four JAK3-deficient patients from four unrelated families. The first patient is homozygous for the known c.1951 C>T mutation causing the amino acidic change p.R651W. The other two patients, originating from the same small Italian town, resulted compound heterozygotes for the same g.15410_16542del deletion and two different novel mutations, g.13319_13321delTTC and c.933T>G (p.F292V), respectively. The fourth patient was compound heterozygous for the novel mutations p.V599G and p.W709R. Defective STAT5 phosphorylation ...Continue Reading
