Inherited p40phox deficiency differs from classic chronic granulomatous disease
van de Geer, A.; Nieto-Patlán, A.; Kuhns, D.; Tool, A.; Arias, A.; Bouaziz, M.; de Boer, M.; Franco, J.; Gazendam, R.; van Hamme, J.; van Houdt, M.Biallelic loss-of-function (LOF) mutations of the NCF4 gene, encoding the p40phox subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, have been described in only 1 patient. We report on 24 p40phox-deficient patients from 12 additional families in 8 countries. These patients display 8 different in-frame or out-of-frame mutations of NCF4 that are homozygous in 11 of the families and compound heterozygous in another. When ove...
Mutations in STAT3 and IL12RB1 impair the development of human IL-17 – producin...
Beaucoudrey, L.; Puel, A.; Filipe-Santos, O.; Cobat, A.; Ghandil, P.; Chrabieh, M.; Feinberg, J.; Bernuth, H.; Samarina, A.; Jannière, L.; Fieschi, C.Abstract The cytokines controlling the development of human interleukin (IL) 17--producing T helper cells in vitro have been difficult to identify. We addressed the question of the development of human IL-17--producing T helper cells in vivo by quantifying the production and secretion of IL-17 by fresh T cells ex vivo, and by T cell blasts expanded in vitro from patients with particular genetic traits affecting...
