Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a rare recessive disorder caused by the bi-allelic loss-of-function pathogenic variants in the gene (MIM: 607575, also known as , cat eye syndrome chromosome region, candidate 1). Based on the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), 53 different disease-causing variants have been identified in this gene to date. This case report aims to describe a new vasculitis, autoinflammation, immunodeficiency, and hematologic defects syndrome (VAIHS) case caused by a novel pathogenic variant. A four-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and stroke, but no skin manifestations. The patient had a significant phenotypic overlap with VAIHS. Molecular genetic analysis via whole exome sequencing identified a homozygous deleterious variant in . To our knowledge, the identified variant has never been described in the literature. Screening for pathogenic variants should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients manifesting with chronic thrombocytopenia or early-onset stroke for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment choices.
腺苷脱氨酶2(DADA2)缺乏症是一种罕见的隐性疾病,由该基因(MIM:607575,也称为猫眼综合征染色体区域候选基因1)的双等位基因功能丧失性致病变异引起。基于人类基因突变数据库(HGMD),迄今为止已在该基因中鉴定出53种不同的致病变体。本病例报告旨在描述一例由新型致病变异引起的新的血管炎、自身炎症、免疫缺陷和血液学缺陷综合征(VAIHS)病例。一名4岁男孩因贫血、血小板减少和中风被转诊至我院,但无皮肤表现。该患者与VAIHS有明显的表型重叠。通过全外显子测序进行的分子遗传学分析在该基因中鉴定出一个纯合有害变体。据我们所知,已鉴定出的变体在文献中从未被描述过。对于表现为慢性血小板减少或早发性中风的儿科患者,在鉴别诊断中应考虑筛查该基因的致病变异,以进行准确诊断和做出适当的治疗选择。
