Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a crucial immune checkpoint that is constitutively expressed in regulatory T (Treg) cells. Following T-cell activation, CTLA-4 is rapidly mobilized from its intracellular vesicle pool to the cell surface to control the availability of co-stimulatory B7 molecules, thereby maintaining immune homeostasis. Heterozygous mutations in lead to defects in (i) CTLA-4 ligand binding, (ii) homo-dimerization, (iii) B7-transendocytosis, and (iv) CTLA-4 vesicle trafficking, resulting in an inborn error of immunity with predominant autoimmunity. CTLA-4 vesicle trafficking impairment is also observed in patients with lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency or the (DEF6) deficiency, caused by biallelic mutations in and , respectively. Therefore, patients with CTLA-4 insufficiency, LRBA deficiency, and-most recently reported-DEF6 deficiency present an overlapping clinical phenotype mainly attributed to a defective suppressive activity of Tregs, as all three diseases reduce overall surface expression of CTLA-4. In this paper, we describe the clinical phenotypes of these immune checkpoint defects, their patho-mechanisms, and visually compare them to other immune regulatory disorders (IPEX syndrome, CD27, and CD70 deficiencies) by using the immune deficiency and dysregulation (IDDA version 2.1) "kaleidoscope" score. This illustrates the variability of the degrees and manifestations of immune deficiency and dysregulation. Patients characteristically present with an increased risk of infections, autoimmune cytopenias, multi-organ autoimmunity, and inflammation, which are often severe and life-threatening. Furthermore, these patients suffer an increased risk of developing malignancies, especially Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Successful treatment options include regular administration of soluble CTLA-4-Ig fusion protein, Treg cell-sparing immune suppressants like sirolimus or mycophenolate mofetil, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This mini-review highlights the most relevant biological and clinical features as well as treatment options for CTLA-4 insufficiency and LRBA and DEF6 deficiencies.
