    Abstract There is an important unmet clinical need for fast turnaround next generation sequencing (NGS) to aid genetic diagnosis of patients with acute and sometimes catastrophic inflammatory presentations. This is imperative for patients who require precise and targeted treatment to prevent irreparable organ damage or even death. Acute and severe hyper- inflammation may be caused by primary immunodeficiency (PID) with immune dysregulation, or more typical autoinflammatory diseases in the absence of obvious immunodeficiency. Infectious triggers may be present in either immunodeficiency or autoinflammation. We compiled a list of 25 genes causing monogenetic immunological diseases that are notorious for their acute first presentation with fulminant inflammation and which may be amenable to specific treatment, including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); and autoinflammatory diseases that can present with early-onset stroke or other irreversible neurological inflammatory complications. We designed and validated a pipeline that enabled return of clinically actionable results in hours rather than weeks: the Rapid Autoinflammation Panel (RAP). We demonstrated accuracy of this new pipeline, with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Return of results to clinicians was achieved within 48-hours from receiving the patient's blood or saliva sample. This approach demonstrates the potential significant diagnostic impact of NGS in acute medicine to facilitate precision medicine and save "life or limb" in these critical situations.

    Abstract Objective: Several monogenic autoinflammatory disorders and primary immunodeficiencies can present early in life with features that may be mistaken for Behçet's disease (BD). We aimed to develop a genetic analysis workflow to identify rare monogenic BD-like diseases and establish the contribution of HLA haplotype in a cohort of patients from the UK.
    Methods: Patients with clinically suspected BD were recruited from four BD specialist care centres in the UK. All participants underwent whole exome sequencing (WES), and genetic analysis thereafter by 1. examining genes known to cause monogenic immunodeficiency, autoinflammation or vasculitis by virtual panel application; 2. scrutiny of variants prioritised by Exomiser using Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO); 3. identification of copy number variants using ExomeDepth; and 4. HLA-typing using OptiType.
    Results: Thirty-one patients were recruited: median age 15 (4-52), and median disease onset age 5 (0-20). Nine/31 (29%) patients had monogenic disease mimicking BD: 5 cases of Haploinsufficiency of A20 with novel TNFAIP3 variants (p.T76I, p.M112Tfs*8, p.S548Dfs*128, p.C657Vfs*14, p.E661Nfs*36); 1 case of ISG15 deficiency with a novel nonsense variant (ISG15:p.Q16X) and 1p36.33 microdeletion; 1 case of Common variable immune deficiency (TNFRSF13B:p.A181E); and 2 cases of TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TNFRSF1A:p.R92Q). Of the remaining 22 patients, 8 (36%) were HLA-B*51 positive.
    Conclusion: We describe a novel genetic workflow for BD, which can efficiently detect known and potentially novel monogenic forms of BD, whilst additionally providing HLA-typing. Our results highlight the importance of genetic testing before BD diagnosis, since this has impact on choice of therapy, prognosis, and genetic counselling.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 initially infects cells in the nasopharynx and oral cavity. The immune system at these mucosal sites plays a crucial role in minimizing viral transmission and infection. To develop new strategies for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, this study aimed to identify proteins that protect against viral infection in saliva. We collected 551 saliva samples from 290 healthcare workers who had tested positive for COVID-19, before vaccination, between June and December 2020. The samples were categorized based on their ability to block or enhance infection using in vitro assays. Mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay experiments were used to identify and measure the abundance of proteins that specifically bind to SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Immunoglobulin (Ig)A specific to SARS-CoV-2 antigens was detectable in over 83% of the convalescent saliva samples. We found that concentrations of anti-receptor-binding domain IgA >500 pg/µg total protein in saliva correlate with reduced viral infectivity in vitro. However, there is a dissociation between the salivary IgA response to SARS-CoV-2, and systemic IgG titers in convalescent COVID-19 patients. Then, using an innovative technique known as spike-baited mass spectrometry, we identified novel spike-binding proteins in saliva, most notably vimentin, which correlated with increased viral infectivity in vitro and could serve as a therapeutic target against COVID-19.
