Lymphoproliferative Syndrome, X-linked, 2; Xlp2

Description

XLP2 is an X-linked primary immune deficiency with symptom onset usually in the first years of life, although later onset may occur. Features are compatible with immune dysregulation and include hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), often associated with chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, splenomegaly, fever, colitis or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and recurrent infections. Laboratory abnormalities are variable, but can include hypogammaglobulinemia, cytopenias, and low levels of a particular subset of T cells known as NKT (or iNKT) cells. Functional studies show increased sensitivity of T cells to apoptosis (activation-induced cell death, AICD), impaired cytokine production, including of TNF-alpha (TNFA ), and general dysregulation of the immune pathway, such as increased levels of IL18 (OMIM ). However, circulating levels of lymphocytes and NK cells are usually normal. Many patients die from fulminant HLH, and the only curative treatment is a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, although this procedure has been associated with a poor prognosis. Female mutation carriers are usually asymptomatic, although some female carriers may have less severe manifestations, which appears to depend on X-inactivation patterns (summary by Yang et al., 2012; review by Latour and Aguilar, 2015).Latour and Aguilar (2015) provided a detailed review of XIAP deficiency, including clinical features, molecular genetics, and pathophysiology.For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome, see XLP1 (OMIM ).
