Cytopenias inprimary immunodeficiency: notions andconundrums

• FrenchCohort Study,2183PID patients(AlainFischeretal.,JACI 2017):

– 26%had autoimmunity or inflammation,occurs inallage groups

– relativerisk to develop autoimmunecytopenia inPID is 120x,AIHA 830x,ITP 60x

–mostly B&T-PIDs

– allergy is arisk factor,outcome is worse!

– 15%of AIcytopenias inchildren are estimatedto be based onaPID

Ø notallcytopenias are ALPS- or CVID-linkedØ 85%are not linked to aknown PID

General:Mechanisms of Autoimmunity inPrimaryImmunodeficiencies1. Lymphopenia (RAG1/2,Artemis...)expansion of T&Bcells with autoreactive TCR/BCR

2. Apoptosis defects:ALPS,autoreactive Tand Bcells are noteliminated

3. Breakdownof central tolerance (DGS,APECED):impaired auto-Ag presentation,checkpoint editing,anddefective negativeselection

4. Breakdownof peripheral tolerance:lostTreg function (FoxP3,CD25,CTLA4,LRBA...)

5. Increased type1Interferonsignature:STAT1GOF,STAT3GOF

6. Defect ofearly complement components (C1q,C1r/s,C2,C4)– with SAA andCRP strongopsonins for ICandapoptotic material,if lostà nuclear antigens induce IFNαinplasmacytoid dendritic cells andbreakself-tolerance inautoreactive TandBcells

7. Impaired clearance of cell debris: variants of Fc𝛾RII/III,CRP,or ITGAM (CD11b),deficiency of coatomer protein (COPA;ERstress),tripeptidyl peptidase II(TPPII;post-proteasome cytosolic protein modification,amino acid homeostasis)

8. Hyperactivation oflymphocytes:PI3KδGOF,PLC𝛾2,PKCδ

9. Impairment of B-lymphocyte function/BCR production:e.g.AID
