    Abstract Background: GATA2 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) characterized by infectious susceptibility and increased risk of myelodysplasia leading to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Oral anomalies already described in this disorder include recurrent viral and fungal infections and oral ulcers.
    Material and methods: We report a 9-year-old girl presenting with AML with myelodysplasia-related changes, monosomy 7 karyotype on marrow aspirate, numerous flat warts on her hands and multiple dental caries at oral cavity inspection. Dental evaluation and genetic testing (Sanger sequencing) for GATA2 were carried out considering the peculiar clinical presentation.
    Results: Dental evaluation showed extensive caries and periodontal disease, while genetic studies revealed a known c.1009 C>T (p.Arg337X) mutation in GATA2. After multidisciplinary discussion, affected teeth were extracted before chemotherapy, in general anaesthesia, together with scaling and root planning of the alveolar sockets. Subsequently, the patient underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from her HLA-matched GATA2 wild-type sibling, who did not bear any dental anomalies. No dento-alveolar infections were encountered during post-chemotherapy aplasia.
    Conclusions: This case first describes the association between GATA2 deficiency and extensive dental caries with periodontal disease, highlighting the importance of an early dental evaluation and intervention in children with leukaemia.

    Abstract Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare congenital disorder caused by genetic mutations, leading to hair and skin abnormalities. We report successful treatment of a TTD case using dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4Rα. The patient, a 7-year-old boy, exhibited significant improvement in skin and hair conditions, suggesting the potential of dupilumab as a therapeutic option for TTD. Further research is needed to elucidate its mechanism and efficacy in TTD treatment.

    Abstract Background: To report ocular manifestations, clinical course, and therapeutic management of patients with molecular genetically confirmed keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome.
    Methods: Four patients, aged 19 to 46, with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome from across the UK were recruited for a general and ocular examination and GJB2 (Cx26) mutational analysis. The ocular examination included best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp bio-microscopy, and ocular surface assessment. Mutational analysis of the coding region of GJB2 (Cx26) was performed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing.
    Results: All four individuals had the characteristic systemic features of keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome. Each patient was found to have a missense mutation, resulting in the substitution of aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 50 (p.D50N). Main ophthalmic features were vascularizing keratopathy, ocular surface disease, hyperkeratotic lid lesions, recurrent epithelial defects, and corneal stromal scarring. One patient had multiple surgical procedures, including superficial keratectomies and lamellar keratoplasty, which failed to prevent severe visual loss. In contrast, oral therapy with ketoconazole stabilized the corneal and skin disease in two other patients with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome. The patient who underwent intracorneal bevacizumab injection showed a marked reduction in corneal vascularization following a single application.
    Conclusions: Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome is a rare ectodermal dysplasia caused by heterozygous mutations in GJB2 (Cx26) with a severe, progressive vascularizing keratopathy. Oral ketoconazole therapy may offer benefit in stabilizing the corneal and skin disease.

    Abstract Dyskeratosis congenital (DC) is the first genetic syndrome described among telomeropathies. Its classical phenotype is characterized by the mucocutaneous triad of reticulated pigmentation of skin lace, nail dystrophy and oral leukoplakia. The clinical presentation, however, is heterogeneous and serious clinical complications include bone marrow failure, hematological and solid tumors. It may also involve immunodeficiencies, dental, pulmonary and liver disorders, and other minor complication. Dyskeratosis congenita shows marked genetic heterogeneity, as at least 14 genes are responsible for the shortening of telomeres characteristic of this disease. This review discusses clinical characteristics, molecular genetics, disease evolution, available therapeutic options and differential diagnosis of dyskeratosis congenita to provide an interdisciplinary and personalized medical assessment that includes family genetic counseling.
