Activated PI3K-δ syndrome refers to a recently described primary immunodeficiency syndrome consisting of recurrent sinopulmonary infections, lymphadenopathy, mucosal lymphoid aggregates, increased susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus, and increased incidence of B-cell lymphomas. Variants in , which encodes the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta isoform, enhance membrane association and kinase activity, resulting in increased signal transduction through the PI3K-Akt pathway. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a pathogenic variant in a patient with history of immunologic impairment, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and lymphoid hyperplasia presenting as intussusception. This case illustrates that while lymphoid hyperplasia secondary to immunodeficiency is most often unsurprising and non-threatening, it can present as an emergency-like intussusception.
活化PI3K-δ综合征是一种最近描述的原发性免疫缺陷综合征,其特征包括反复的鼻窦肺部感染、淋巴结病、黏膜淋巴样聚集、对爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒和巨细胞病毒易感性增加以及B细胞淋巴瘤发病率增加。编码磷脂酰肌醇-4,5-二磷酸3-激酶催化亚基δ异构体的基因发生变异,增强了膜结合和激酶活性,导致通过PI3K-Akt途径的信号转导增加。全外显子测序在一名有免疫功能损害病史、反复鼻窦肺部感染且以肠套叠形式出现淋巴样增生的患者中发现了一个致病变异。该病例表明,虽然免疫缺陷继发的淋巴样增生通常并不意外且无威胁,但它可能表现为类似紧急情况的肠套叠。
