    Abstract Activated PI3K-delta Syndrome (APDS), also called PI3K-delta activating mutation causing senescent T cells, lymphadenopathy, and immunodeficiency (PASLI), is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by inherited or de novo gain-of-function mutations in one of two genes encoding subunits of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) complex. This largely leukocyte-restricted protein complex regulates cell growth, activation, proliferation, and survival. Patients who harbor these mutations have early onset immunodeficiency with recurrent infections, lymphadenopathy, and autoimmunity. The most common infection susceptibilities are sinopulmonary (encapsulated bacteria) and herpesviruses. Multiple defects in both innate and adaptive immune function are responsible for this phenotype. Apart from anti-microbial prophylaxis and immunoglobulin replacement, patients are treated with a variety of immunomodulatory agents and some have needed hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Here, we highlight the spectrum of infections, immune defects, and therapy options in this inborn error of immunity.

    Abstract Following emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a surge in the life-threatening illness now termed 'multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children' (MIS-C) has raised questions about the unique effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in children and adolescents. Two important new studies by Consiglio et al. and Gruber et al. have begun to shine light on the immune drivers of this enigmatic disease.

    Abstract Two variants in the ubiquitously expressed NHLRC2 gene have been reported to cause a lethal fibrotic cerebropulmonary disease termed fibrosis, neurodegeneration, and cerebral angiomatosis (FINCA) syndrome in three Finnish children. Our objective was to determine the genetic basis of disease in a new patient with clinical features of FINCA syndrome using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and confirmation by Sanger sequencing. The patient has one known and one novel variant in NHLRC2 (c.442T>G, p.D148Y and c.428C>A, p.H143P, respectively). p.H143P is extremely rare and is not present in the gnomAD database of >140,000 allele sequences from healthy humans. Both variants affect the highly conserved N-terminal thioredoxin (Trx)-like domain of NHLRC2 and are predicted to be damaging. We conclude that a compound heterozygous combination of a known and a novel variant in NHLRC2 causes FINCA syndrome in a 2-year-old Ukrainian patient, underscoring the importance of NHLRC2 as a central regulator of fibrosis.

    Abstract Rare immune-mediated cardiac tissue inflammation can occur after vaccination, including after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. However, the underlying immune cellular and molecular mechanisms driving this pathology remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated a cohort of patients who developed myocarditis and/or pericarditis with elevated troponin, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-reactive protein levels as well as cardiac imaging abnormalities shortly after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Contrary to early hypotheses, patients did not demonstrate features of hypersensitivity myocarditis, nor did they have exaggerated SARS-CoV-2-specific or neutralizing antibody responses consistent with a hyperimmune humoral mechanism. We additionally found no evidence of cardiac-targeted autoantibodies. Instead, unbiased systematic immune serum profiling revealed elevations in circulating interleukins (IL-1β, IL-1RA, and IL-15), chemokines (CCL4, CXCL1, and CXCL10), and matrix metalloproteases (MMP1, MMP8, MMP9, and TIMP1). Subsequent deep immune profiling using single-cell RNA and repertoire sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells during acute disease revealed expansion of activated CXCR3

    Abstract Objectives: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterial pathogen causing inflammation of the gastric mucosa that may lead to peptic ulcer, perforation or malignancy. Children are at risk of contracting H. pylori and developing subsequent morbidity. Diagnosis and management in children are difficult and merit a different approach compared with adults. This study aimed to describe the antimicrobial resistance rates of H. pylori to amoxicillin, tetracycline, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin and rifampicin.
    Methods: Biopsies (n=154) collected during endoscopic examinations were cultivated for 10days using a growth medium selective for H. pylori, of which 89 were H. pylori-positive. Antimicrobial resistance of the strains was assessed by Etest to establish minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) according to British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy guidelines.
    Results: Resistance rates were most notable for amoxicillin and clarithromycin at 12% and 35% with MICs of 0.74μg/mL and 2.51μg/mL, respectively. Resistance rates to tetracycline and levofloxacin were 8% and 2% with MICs of 2.57μg/mL and 2.0μg/mL, respectively. Resistance rates to rifampicin and metronidazole were 3% and 8% with MICs of 2.0μg/mL and 9.71μg/mL, respectively.
    Conclusion: Current rising antibiotic resistance rates for H. pylori are of concern. Performance of culture enables determination of the susceptibility profile, which may lead to a better choice of, and perhaps narrower spectrum, antibiotic agent. In light of these findings, we suggest that optimising the choice of antibiotic agent in children with H. pylori infection remains a challenge for clinicians and thus requires further investigation in randomised clinical trials.

    Abstract The Pediatric Genomics Discovery Program (PGDP) at Yale uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) and translational research to evaluate complex patients with a wide range of phenotypes suspected to have rare genetic diseases. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 356 PGDP probands evaluated between June 2015 and July 2020, querying our database for participant demographics, clinical characteristics, NGS results, and diagnostic and research findings. The three most common phenotypes among the entire studied cohort (n = 356) were immune system abnormalities (n = 105, 29%), syndromic or multisystem disease (n = 103, 29%), and cardiovascular system abnormalities (n = 62, 17%). Of 216 patients with final classifications, 77 (36%) received new diagnoses and 139 (64%) were undiagnosed; the remaining 140 patients were still actively being investigated. Monogenetic diagnoses were found in 67 (89%); the largest group had variants in known disease genes but with new contributions such as novel variants (n = 31, 40%) or expanded phenotypes (n = 14, 18%). Finally, five PGDP diagnoses (8%) were suggestive of novel gene-to-phenotype relationships. A broad range of patients can benefit from single subject studies combining NGS and functional molecular analyses. All pediatric providers should consider further genetics evaluations for patients lacking precise molecular diagnoses.
