Biallelic mutations in the ITK gene cause a T-cell primary immunodeficiency with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-lymphoproliferative disorders. We describe a novel association of a homozygous ITK mutation with β-human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Thus, loss of function in ITK can result in broad dysregulation of T-cell responses to oncogenic viruses, including β-HPV and EBV.
ITK 基因的双等位基因突变可导致 T 细胞原发性免疫缺陷伴 EBV 淋巴组织增生性疾病。我们描述了一种新的 ITK 突变纯合子与β-人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)阳性疣状表皮发育不良的关联。因此,ITK 的功能丧失可导致对致癌病毒(包括β-HPV 和 EBV)的 T 细胞反应广泛失调。
