Clinical and cellular phenotypes resulting from a founder mutation in IL10RB.

Inborn errors of immunity are a group of rare genetically determined diseases that impair immune system development or function. Many of these diseases include immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, or autoinflammation as prominent clinical features. In some children diagnosed with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD), monogenic inborn errors of immune dysregulation underlie disease. We report a case of VEOIBD caused by a novel homozygous loss of function mutation in IL10RB. We use cytometry by time-of-flight with a broad panel of antibodies to interrogate the immunophenotype of this patient and detect reduced frequencies of CD4 and CD8 T cells with additional defects in some populations of T helper cells, innate-like T cells, and memory B cells. Finally, we identify the patient's mutation as a founder allele in an isolated indigenous population and estimate the age of this variant by studying the shared ancestral haplotype.
