Abstract: To identify the molecular basis of a severe systemic autoinflammatory disorder (SAID) and define its main phenotypic features, and to functionally assess the sequence variations identified in LYN, a gene encoding a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase.We used targeted next-generation sequencing and in vitro functional studies of Lyn phosphorylation state and Lyn-dependent NF-κB activity after expression of recombinant Lyn isoforms carrying different sequence variations.We identified a de novo LYN variation (p.Tyr508His) in a patient presenting since birth with recurrent fever, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, arthralgia, increased inflammatory biomarkers, and elevated plasma cytokine levels. We studied the consequences on Lyn phosphorylation state of the p.Tyr508His variation and of the 2 LYN variations reported so far (p.Tyr508Phe and p.Tyr508*), and found that all 3 variations prevent phosphorylation of residue 508 and lead to autophosphorylation of Tyr397. Additionally, these 3 LYN variations activate the NF-κB pathway. These results show a gain-of-function effect of the variations involving Tyr508 on Lyn activity.This study demonstrates the pathogenicity of the first 3 LYN variations identified in SAID patients and delineates the phenotypic spectrum of a disease entity characterized by severe, early-onset, systemic inflammatory disease affecting neonates with no family history of SAID. All 3 LYN variations affect the same tyrosine residue located in the C-terminus of Lyn, thereby demonstrating the critical role of this residue in the proper regulation of Lyn activity in humans.

Abstract: The paradigm type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is most typically characterized by severe neurological involvement. AGS is considered an immune-mediated disease, poorly responsive to conventional immunosuppression. Premised on a chronic enhancement of type I interferon signaling, JAK1/2 inhibition has been trialed in AGS, with clear improvements in cutaneous and systemic disease manifestations. Contrastingly, treatment efficacy at the level of the neurological system has been less conclusive. Here, we report our real-word approach study of JAK1/2 inhibition in 11 patients with AGS, providing extensive assessments of clinical and radiological status; interferon signaling, including in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); and drug concentrations in blood and CSF. Over a median follow-up of 17 months, we observed a clear benefit of JAK1/2 inhibition on certain systemic features of AGS, and reproduced results reported using the AGS neurologic severity scale. In contrast, there was no change in other scales assessing neurological status; using the caregiver scale, only patient comfort, but no other domain of everyday-life care, was improved. Serious bacterial infections occurred in 4 out of the 11 patients. Overall, our data lead us to conclude that other approaches to treatment are urgently required for the neurologic features of AGS. We suggest that earlier diagnosis and adequate central nervous system penetration likely remain the major factors determining the efficacy of therapy in preventing irreversible brain damage, implying the importance of early and rapid genetic testing and the consideration of intrathecal drug delivery.

Abstract: International audience; Variants in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) genes are associated to a broad spectrum of human inherited diseases. Patients with defective PheRS, encoded by FARSA and FARSB, display brain abnormalities, interstitial lung disease and facial dys-morphism. We investigated four children from two unrelated consanguineous families carrying two missense homozygous variants in FARSA with significantly reduced PheRS-mediated aminoacylation activity. In addition to the core ARS-phenotype, patients showed an inflammatory profile associated with autoimmunity and interferon score, a clinical feature not ascribed to PheRS-deficient patients to date. JAK inhibition improved lung disease in one patient. Our findings expand the genetic and clinical spectrum of FARSA-related disease

Abstract: Dedicator of cytokinesis (DOCK) proteins play a central role in actin cytoskeleton regulation. This is highlighted by the DOCK2 and DOCK8 deficiencies leading to actinopathies and immune deficiencies. DOCK8 and DOCK11 activate CDC42, a RHO-GTPase involved in actin cytoskeleton dynamics, among many cellular functions. The role of DOCK11 in human immune disease has been long suspected but has never been described so far. We studied eight male patients, from seven unrelated families, with hemizygous DOCK11 missense variants leading to reduced DOCK11 expression. The patients were presenting with early-onset autoimmunity, including cytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus, skin, and digestive manifestations. Patients' platelets exhibited abnormal ultrastructural morphology and spreading as well as impaired CDC42 activity. In vitro activated T cells and B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) of patients exhibited aberrant protrusions and abnormal migration speed in confined channels concomitant with altered actin polymerization during migration. A DOCK11 knock-down recapitulated these abnormal cellular phenotypes in monocytes-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) and primary activated T cells from healthy controls. Lastly, in line with the patients' autoimmune manifestations, we also observed abnormal regulatory T cells (Tregs) phenotype with profoundly reduced FOXP3 and IKZF2 expression. Moreover, we found a reduced T cell proliferation and an impaired STAT5B phosphorylation upon IL2 stimulation of the patients' lymphocytes. In conclusion, DOCK11 deficiency is a new X-linked immune-related actinopathy leading to impaired CDC42 activity and STAT5 activation, and associated with abnormal actin cytoskeleton remodeling as well as Tregs phenotype culminating in immune dysregulation and severe early-onset autoimmunity.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is the most severe clinical entity associated with pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection with a putative role of the spike protein into the immune system activation. Whether COVID-19 mRNA vaccine can induce this complication in children is unknown. We aimed to assess the risk of hyper-inflammatory syndrome following COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in children. METHODS: We conducted a post-authorization national population-based surveillance using the French enhanced pharmacovigilance surveillance system for COVID-19 vaccines. All cases of suspected hyper-inflammatory syndrome following COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in 12-17-year-old children between June 15(th), 2021 and January 1(st), 2022, were reported. Cases were reviewed according to WHO criteria for MIS-C. The reporting rate of this syndrome was compared to the MIS-C rate per 1,000,000 12-17-year-old children infected by SARS-CoV-2. FINDINGS: Up to January 2022, 8,113,058 COVID-19 mRNA vaccine doses were administered to 4,079,234 12-17-year-old children. Among them, 12 presented a hyper-inflammatory syndrome with multisystemic involvement. Main clinical features included male predominance (10/12, 83%), cardiac involvement (10/12, 83%), digestive symptoms (10/12, 83%), coagulopathy (7/12, 58%), cytolytic hepatitis (6/12, 50%), and shock (5/12, 42%). 4/12 (33%) required intensive care unit transfer, and 3/12 (25%) hemodynamic support. All cases recovered. In eight cases, no evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection was found. The reporting rate was 1.5 (95%CI [0.8; 2.6]) per 1,000,000 doses injected, i.e. 2.9 (95%CI [1.5; 5.1]) per 1,000,000 12-17-year-old vaccinated children. As a comparison, 113 MIS-C (95%CI [95; 135]) occurred per 1,000,000 12-17-year-old children infected by SARS-CoV-2. INTERPRETATION: Very few cases of hyper-inflammatory syndrome with multi-organ involvement occurred following COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in 12-17-year-old children. The low reporting rate of this syndrome, compared to the rate of post-SARS-CoV-2 MIS-C in the same age-group, largely supports the vaccination in a context of an important circulation of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract: Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by an abnormal accumulation of mast cells (MCs) in 1 or several organs. Although a somatic KIT D816V mutation is detected in ∼85% of patients, attempts to demonstrate its oncogenic effect alone have repeatedly failed, suggesting that additional pathways are involved in MC transformation. From 3 children presenting with both Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS, Mendelian Inheritance in Man [175700]) and congenital mastocytosis, we demonstrated the involvement of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway in mastocytosis. GCPS is an extremely rare syndrome resulting from haploinsufficiency of GLI3, the major repressor of Hh family members. From these familial cases of mastocytosis, we demonstrate that the Hh pathway is barely active in normal primary MCs and is overactive in neoplastic MCs. GLI3 and KIT mutations had a synergistic, tumorigenic effect on the onset of mastocytosis in a GCPS mouse model. Finally, Hh inhibitors suppressed neoplastic MC proliferation in vitro and extend the survival time of mice with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM). This work revealed, for the first time, the involvement of Hh signaling in the pathophysiology of mastocytosis and demonstrated the cooperative effects of the KIT and Hh oncogenic pathways in mice with ASM, leading to the identification of new promising therapeutic targets.

Pérot, Bénédicte Neven, Brigitte Bader-Meunier, Pierre Quartier dit Maire, Marie Hully, Alexandre Belot, Alice Lepelley, Marie-Louise Frémond, Yanick J. Crow, Alain Fischer, and Mickaël M. Ménager
Abstract: SummaryAicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a genetic type I interferon (IFN)-mediated disease characterised by neurological involvement with onset in childhood. Chronic inflammation in response to uncontrolled type I IFN production is, among other things, associated with IP-10 secretion. We analysed, at the single-cell transcriptomic levels, peripheral blood samples from patients bearing AGS-causing mutations inSAMHD1,RNASEH2BorADAR1genes. Using machine-learning approaches and differential gene expression we identified a drastic loss of transcription factor hypoxia induced factor 1 α (HIF-1α) expression and activity associated with features of a metabolic switch and mitochondrial stress in monocytes/dendritic cells. Chemical stabilization of HIF-1α, with a synthetic drug in anin vitromodel of AGS, allowed us to reverse the energy metabolic switch, attenuate mitochondrial stress and markedly reduce IP-10 production. We therefore propose that energy metabolic switch contributes to exacerbated chronic inflammation in AGS, and that targeting this pathway might represent a promising therapeutic approach.

Abstract: Background Systemic diseases of pediatric onset are more frequent in the Afro-Caribbean population. We performed a study of patients followed in the French overseas departments of America (FOAD) for pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE). The aims were to describe the clinical and biological specificities during childhood in this population. Methods A retrospective study was conducted between January 2000 and September 2021. Patients with pSLE were identified from multiple sources: computerized hospital archives, registry of referring pediatricians, adult specialists in internal medicine and the French National Registry for rare diseases. We studied SLE with pediatric onset defined by international criteria. Results Overall, 2148 patients were identified, of whom 54 were included. The average follow-up was 8.3 years (range: 0.3—25 years). We observed an increase in new diagnoses over time. At onset, pSLE patients had a median of 10 SLICC criteria (range: 4–12), and the median EULAR/ACR 2019 score was 38 (12—54). At onset, one third of patients had renal involvement, 15% had neurolupus and 41% cardiac involvement. During childhood, 54% had renal involvement, and 26% suffered from neurolupus. Patients suffered a median of 3 flares during childhood, and 26% had more than 5 flares. Patients with younger age at onset had worse outcomes than those who were older at diagnosis, i.e., more flares (median 5, p = 0.02) and requiring an average of 4 background therapies (p = 0.04). Conclusion The outcomes of Afro-Caribbean patients were similar to those in Western population, but with worse disease activity at onset. Further studies should be performed to identify the genetic and environmental factors in this population.

Abstract: Myositis in childhood can occur under different conditions and with various aetiologies, juvenile dermatomyositis (jDM) being by far the most frequent entity. The exact diagnostic workup and precise assessment of muscular as well as extramuscular involvement of organs in these systemic autoimmune diseases are relevant for specific and adjunct treatment of complications. Many new insights have become available with respect to the pathophysiological concepts as well as modern diagnostic measures and therapeutic approaches. Autoantibody detection in the serum of children with myositis is one of the major novelties that has become widely used and that is indeed helpful for diagnostic and prognostic measures. The pathophysiological relevance of type I interferons in jDM has been studied intensively in the past years. jDM is now seen as an acquired interferonopathy and first therapeutic consequences have been drawn from this pathogenic finding with the use of Janus-kinase inhibitors for severe and not otherwise treatable children.

Abstract: Objectives To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of canakinumab in patients with mevalonate kinase deficiency during the open label extension (weeks 41–113) of the randomized controlled CLUSTER trial. Methods During a 72-week period, patients received open-label canakinumab 150 or 300 mg, every 4 or 8 weeks. The disease activity was evaluated every 8 weeks using physician global assessment and counting the number of flares. Concentrations of CRP and serum amyloid A protein were measured. The safety was studied by determination and classification of observed adverse events. The safety and efficacy were analysed separately in three subgroups of patients receiving a cumulative dose of less than Results Of the 74 patients who started the CLUSTER study, 66 entered Epoch 4 and 65 completed it. During the 72-week period, 42 (64%) patients experienced no flares, while 13 (20%) had one flare, as compared with a median of 12 flares per year reported at baseline. Low physician global assessment scores were seen at the end of the study for all groups with >90% reporting minimal disease activity or none at all. Median CRP concentrations were consistently equal or lower than 10 mg/l, while median serum amyloid A concentrations remained only slightly above the normal range of 10 mg/l. The study showed no new or unexpected adverse events. Conclusion Canakinumab proved effective to control disease activity and prevent flares in mevalonate kinase deficiency during the 72-week study period. No new safety concerns were reported.

Abstract: International audience; SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis is a cornerstone for the management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Numerous studies have assessed saliva performance over nasopharyngeal sampling (NPS), but data in young children are still rare. We explored saliva performance for SARS-CoV-2 detection by RT-PCR according to the time interval from initial symptoms or patient serological status. We collected 509 NPS and saliva paired samples at initial diagnosis from 166 children under 12 years of age (including 57 children under 6), 106 between 12 and 17, and 237 adults. In children under 12, overall detection rate for SARS-CoV-2 was comparable in saliva and NPS, with an overall agreement of 89.8%. Saliva sensitivity was significantly lower than that of NPS (77.1% compared to 95.8%) in pre-school and school-age children but regained 96% when considering seronegative children only. This pattern was also observed to a lesser degree in adolescents but not in adults. Sensitivity of saliva was independent of symptoms, in contrary to NPS, whose sensitivity decreased significantly in asymptomatic subjects. Performance of saliva is excellent in children under 12 at early stages of infection. This reinforces saliva as a collection method for early and unbiased SARS-CoV-2 detection and a less invasive alternative for young children.

Subjects: Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergy
Abstract: The treatment of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) to prevent disability is a major challenge in paediatric rheumatology. The presence of synovitis, which is difficult to detect in children, is associated with structural damage. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) can be used in patients with JIA to reveal subclinical synovitis.The primary aim was to determine whether the use of MSUS was associated with therapeutic modification in patients with JIA. The secondary aim was to identify other factors associated with therapeutic decisions.We conducted an observational study based on the JIRECHO multi-centre cohort, which was developed to provide a systematic MSUS follow-up for patients with JIA. Follow-up occurred every 6 months and included clinical and MSUS examinations. We included children who underwent MSUS of the elbows, wrists, second metacarpophalangeal joints, knees and ankles, which was performed by expert sonographers. Clinical and biological data, disease activity scores and information on therapeutics were collected.A total of 185 visits concerning 112 patients were recorded. Three groups were defined according to the therapeutic decision: escalation (22%, n = 40), de-escalation (14%, n = 26) or stable (64%, n = 119). In the "therapeutic escalation" group: the presence of ultrasonographic synovitis in B-mode and the presence of grade 2 or 3 synovitis in B-mode were not significantly more frequent than in the "stable therapeutic or de-escalation" group (80% versus 65%, p = 0.06; 33% versus 19%, p = 0.06), and the patient's and physician's visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, the clinical JADAS and the C-reactive protein level were significantly higher, but only physician's VAS score remained in the model of logistic regression. In the "therapeutic de-escalation" group: there was no difference in the presence of US synovitis compared with the "stable therapeutic or escalation" group (62% versus 69%, p = 0.48).Even though US synovitis tended to be more frequent in patients with therapeutic escalation, the study did not show that the presence of synovitis in MSUS was statistically associated with therapeutic modifications in patients with JIA. Treatment remained stable despite the presence of US synovitis.

Abstract: Idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia (IAEP) is characterized by febrile hypoxic respiratory failure with diffuse radiographic infiltrates and peripheral and pulmonary eosinophilia in a previously healthy child. Diagnosis is by exclusion, but promptness is imperative, as IAEP can lead to life-threatening acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Prognosis is usually good after steroid treatment with total recovery and absence of relapse in reported cases. We report a case of a previously healthy 14-year-old boy with this diagnosis who presented with acute hypoxia and characteristic radiographic and bronchoalveolar lavage findings. He had full recovery after corticosteroid treatment. This case report highlights the diagnostic approach to a patient with IAEP, an uncommon diagnosis, and one of the exclusions, in children.

Abstract: Chronic idiopathic musculoskeletal pain is common in adolescence, and its impact is sometimes severe. The diagnostic process, which consists of eliminating other etiologies, can be long, complex, and at risk of medical nomadism. Specialists rely on many clinical elements to orient themselves. The care pathway and the subjective feeling of the professional are valuable diagnostic elements.

Subjects: General Medicine, systemic erythematosus lupus, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, vaccination, human papillomavirus, barriers
Abstract: Objectives: To describe human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination practices in adolescent girls with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and to identify barriers to and motivators for vaccination. Methods: Cross-sectional, multicenter study on girls aged 9 to 19 years and their accompanying adults. The measurement criteria were the proportion of girls who were vaccinated against HPV, compliance with the vaccination schedule, factors associated with vaccination, and reasons for vaccination and non-vaccination through a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Seventy-one patients (16 with SLE and 55 with JIA) were included with a mean age of 13 years old (rank 11–18). According to parental questioning, 39% of patients were vaccinated against HPV or in progress (44% and 38% of SLE and JIA, respectively). This rate was 82% for the 22 patients ≥ 15 years of age. The vaccine was administered as often by a general practitioner (39%) as by a hospital pediatrician (also 39%). Two factors were significantly associated with vaccination: Older age (OR 53.68, 95% CI 5.85–429.29, p < 0.001) and previous hepatitis B vaccination (OR 4.97, 95% CI 1.03–24.01, p = 0.040). Recommendation of the vaccine by a health professional and fear of HPV-related diseases were the main facilitators. Lack of knowledge about the vaccine, lack of recommendation by a health professional, and fear of vaccine side effects were the main barriers. Conclusions: HPV vaccination coverage remains insufficient among patients with autoimmune disease. Education and awareness of health professionals about HPV infections are crucial elements in vaccine acceptance.

Abstract: Introduction Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (j-SLE) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs. Ranging from minor features, such as headache or mild cognitive impairment, to serious and life-threatening presentations, j-neuropsychiatric SLE (j-NPSLE) is a therapeutic challenge. Thus, the diagnosis of NPSLE remains difficult, especially in pediatrics, with no specific biomarker of the disease yet validated. Objectives To identify central nervous system (CNS) disease biomarkers of j-NPSLE. Methods A 5-year retrospective tertiary reference monocentric j-SLE study. A combination of standardized diagnostic criteria and multidisciplinary pediatric clinical expertise was combined to attribute NP involvement in the context of j-SLE. Neopterin and interferon-alpha (IFN-α) protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were assessed, together with routine biological and radiological investigations. Results Among 51 patients with j-SLE included, 39% presented with j-NPSLE. J-NPSLE was diagnosed at onset of j-SLE in 65% of patients. No specific routine biological or radiological marker of j-NPSLE was identified. However, CSF neopterin levels were significantly higher in active j-NPSLE with CNS involvement than in j-SLE alone (p = 0.0008). Neopterin and IFN-α protein levels in CSF were significantly higher at diagnosis of j-NPSLE with CNS involvement than after resolution of NP features (respectively p = 0.0015 and p = 0.0010) upon immunosuppressive treatment in all patients tested (n = 10). Both biomarkers correlated strongly with each other (Rs = 0.832, p n = 23 paired samples). Conclusion CSF IFN-α and neopterin constitute promising biomarkers useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of activity in j-NPSLE.

Abstract: Introduction: Systemic diseases of pediatric onset are more frequent in the Afro-Caribbean population. We performed a study of patients followed in French overseas departments of America (FOAD) for pediatric systemic lupus (pSLE). The aims were to describe their clinical and biological specificities during childhood.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between January 2000 and September 2021. Listings of patients with pediatric onset were obtained through multiple sources: computerized hospital archives, registry of referent pediatricians and adult specialists in internal medicine and French National Registry for rare diseases. The spectrum of diseases studied was systemic lupus according to international criteria with pediatric onset.Results: Overall, 2148 patients were identified, and 54 patients were included. The average follow-up was 8.3 years (range: 0.3 - 25 years). We found an increase in new diagnoses throughout the years. At onset, pSLE patients had a median of 10 SLICC criteria (range: 4-12), and the median EULAR/ACR 2019 score was 38 (12 - 54). At onset, one-third of patients had renal involvement, 15% neurolupus and 41% cardiac involvement. During childhood, 54% had renal involvement, and 26% suffered from neurolupus. Patients suffered a median of 3 flares during childhood and 26% from more than 5 flares. Younger patients at onset had worst outcomes; they had more flares (median at 5 p = 0,02) and needed an average of 4 background therapies (p = 0,04).Conclusion: The outcomes of Afro-Caribbean patients, where pSLE is more frequent, were similar to those in Western countries with worse disease activity at onset. Further studies should be performed to identify the genetic and environmental factors in this population.

21. Induction therapy for pediatric onset class IV lupus nephritis: Mycophenolate Mofetil versus Cyclophosphamide

Abstract: Class IV lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most frequent and severe types of involvement in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus. Gold standard treatment consists of intravenous (i.v.) Cyclophosphamide (CYC) associated with corticosteroids. Recent studies in adults have shown similar efficacy of oral Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) with fewer adverse events. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and tolerance of CYC and MMF as induction therapy in children with class IV LN.We conducted a retrospective study of children diagnosed with class IV LN who started oral MMF or i.v. CYC treatment at Necker Enfants Malades Hospital (Paris, France).The study included 33 patients, 17 treated with oral MMF (51%) and 16 with i.v. CYC (48%). The characteristics at treatment induction did not significantly differ between the two groups except for the neurological involvement, that was only present in the CYC group. Complete remission was obtained in 9/17 (53%) children treated with MMF versus 10/16 (71%) treated with CYC (p = 0.46). Relapse was observed in 59% of patients receiving MMF versus 50% receiving CYC (p = 0.87), after a median of 3.4 years and 4.7 years after the beginning of treatment, respectively (p = 0.41). During the 6.5 years of follow-up, we observed no significant difference regarding the number of treatment-related adverse events between the two groups (p = 0.48).We report similar efficacy and tolerance of MMF or CYC as induction therapy of class IV LN in children. However, the long-term adverse events such as infertility could not be systematically evaluated in this retrospective pediatric study. Overall, however, considering the long-term safety profile reported in the literature, we suggest that MMF may be used as first-line induction therapy in LN.

Abstract: ObjectiveAcne fulminans (AF) is a rare, explosive systemic form of acne. Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) or chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a primarily pediatric autoinflammatory disorder characterized by sterile osteolytic bone lesions. Concomitant occurrence of CNO/CRMO and AF is very rare, and little is known about the epidemiological and clinical particularities of this association. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to describe the characteristics of pediatric patients with CNO/CRMO associated to AF.MethodsElectronic mailing lists of French medical societies were used to call for patients with CNO/CRMO and AF. A search for published patients with CNO/CRMO and AF was performed by screening PubMed.ResultsWe identified 5 original patients and 10 patients from the literature. All patients were adolescent boys. Mean age at disease onset was 14.8 years. Nine of 15 patients had received isotretinoin before the sudden onset of AF. Osteoarticular symptoms appeared within < 1–3 months after the onset of AF. The mean numbers of clinical and radiological bone lesions were 3.6 and 5.6, respectively. The percentages of patients with involvement of vertebrae, pelvis, chest, and cranial were 40%, 40%, 33.3%, and 6.6%, respectively. Arthritis was observed in 69.2% of patients and sacroiliac arthritis in 46.2%.ConclusionCNO/CRMO associated to AF occurs predominantly in male adolescents and is characterized by frequent involvement of the axial skeleton and arthritis. Epidemiological and clinical features of these patients differ from general CNO/CRMO cohorts. Clinical management requires careful handling of isotretinoin doses.

Abstract: Among immune cells, activated monocytes play a detrimental role in chronic and viral-induced inflammatory pathologies. The uncontrolled activation of monocytes and the subsequent excessive production of inflammatory factors damage bone-cartilage joints in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), a childhood rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease. Inflammatory monocytes also exert a critical role in the cytokine storm induced by SARS-CoV2 infection in severe COVID-19 patients. The moderate beneficial effect of current therapies and clinical trials highlights the need of alternative strategies targeting monocytes to treat RA and COVID-19 pathologies. Here, we show that targeting CXCR4 with small amino compound such as the histamine analogue clobenpropit (CB) inhibits spontaneous and induced-production of a set of key inflammatory cytokines by monocytes isolated from blood and synovial fluids of JIA patients. Moreover, daily intraperitoneal CB treatment of arthritic mice results in significant decrease in circulating inflammatory cytokine levels, immune cell infiltrates, joints erosion, and bone resorption leading to reduction of disease progression. Finally, we provide the prime evidence that the exposure of whole blood from hospitalized COVID-19 patients to CB significantly reduces levels of key cytokine-storm-associated factors including TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. These overall data show that targeting CXCR4 with CB-like molecules may represent a promising therapeutic option for chronic and viral-induced inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children is generally milder than in adults, but a proportion of cases result in hyperinflammatory conditions often including myocarditis. Methods To better understand these cases, we applied a multiparametric approach to the study of blood cells of 56 children hospitalized with suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Plasma cytokine and chemokine levels and blood cellular composition were measured, alongside gene expression at the bulk and single-cell levels. Findings The most severe forms of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) related to SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in myocarditis were characterized by elevated levels of pro-angiogenesis cytokines and several chemokines. Single-cell transcriptomics analyses identified a unique monocyte/dendritic cell gene signature that correlated with the occurrence of severe myocarditis characterized by sustained nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) signaling and associated with decreased gene expression of NF-κB inhibitors. We also found a weak response to type I and type II interferons, hyperinflammation, and response to oxidative stress related to increased HIF-1α and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling. Conclusions These results provide potential for a better understanding of disease pathophysiology.

However, several weeks into the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections, there was a surge of a postacute pathology called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The authors recruited a cohort of children with suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection and uncovered hyperinflammation, hypoxic conditions, exacerbation of TNF-α signaling via NF-κB, and absence of responses to type I and type II IFN secretion in the most severe forms of MIS-C with severe myocarditis. This work led the authors to identify in monocytes and validate in peripheral blood mononuclear cells a molecular signature of 25 genes that allows discrimination of the most severe forms of MIS-C with myocarditis., Multiparametric analysis identifies, in monocytes and dendritic cells, a molecular signature of the most severe forms of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Severe myocarditis is characterized by an excess of TNF-α signaling via NF-κB, hypoxic conditions, and hyperinflammation in the absence of type I and type II interferon responses.

Abstract: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been suggested to drive immune system activation, but the induction of interferon signaling by mtDNA has not been demonstrated in a Mendelian mitochondrial disease. We initially ascertained two patients, one with a purely neurological phenotype and one with features suggestive of systemic sclerosis in a syndromic context, and found them both to demonstrate enhanced interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in blood. We determined each to harbor a previously described de novo dominant-negative heterozygous mutation in ATAD3A, encoding ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 3A (ATAD3A). We identified five further patients with mutations in ATAD3A and recorded up-regulated ISG expression and interferon α protein in four of them. Knockdown of ATAD3A in THP-1 cells resulted in increased interferon signaling, mediated by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Enhanced interferon signaling was abrogated in THP-1 cells and patient fibroblasts depleted of mtDNA. Thus, mutations in the mitochondrial membrane protein ATAD3A define a novel type I interferonopathy. ispartof: JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE vol:218 issue:10 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is acknowledged to be an effective treatment in life-threatening pediatric disorders. Apheresis for pediatric diseases has been poorly investigated, and most studies to date featured small numbers of patients and lacked control groups. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the tolerance of TPE in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study via a web-based electronic case report form including pediatric patients referred for TPE between January 2005 and December 2014. RESULTS A total of 78 patients (median [range] age: 9.8 [0.53-17.93]) and 731 TPE procedures were analyzed. The indications were antibody-mediated rejection (n = 33; 42%) and desensitization therapy (n = 5; 6%) after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, thrombotic microangiopathy (n = 17; 22%), pediatric inflammatory diseases (n = 16; 21%), kidney diseases (n = 6; 8%), and hyperviscosity syndrome (n = 1; 1%). On average, each patient underwent six procedures during the first session [range: 1-19]. In the 2 weeks following the start of a session, 72 patients (92%) presented a total of 311 adverse events (AEs) potentially related to TPE. The risk of AEs was not related to the indication for TPE, the intensity of care, venous access, plasma substitute use, or body weight. None of the deaths was related to the TPE. CONCLUSION We studied one of the largest retrospective pediatric cohorts described to date. Our experience of TPE children's TPE feasibility concerned specific, life-threatening conditions and otherwise treatment-refractory diseases.

Subjects: Adolescent, Musculoskeletal Pain, Humans, Chronic Pain
Abstract: Chronic idiopathic musculoskeletal pain is common in adolescence, and its impact is sometimes severe. The diagnostic process, which consists of eliminating other etiologies, can be long, complex, and at risk of medical nomadism. Specialists rely on many clinical elements to orient themselves. The care pathway and the subjective feeling of the professional are valuable diagnostic elements.

Abstract: Introduction L’arthrite juvenile idiopathique (AJI) est un groupe heterogene de maladies inflammatoires. Les traitements constituent un enjeu majeur afin de prevenir le handicap. La presence de synovites, parfois difficiles a detecter chez l’enfant, est associee au risque de destruction articulaire et l’echographie articulaire permet de detecter des synovites infra-cliniques. Notre objectif principal etait de determiner si l’echographie articulaire etait associee a une modification therapeutique chez les patients atteints d’AJI. Les objectifs secondaires etaient d’identifier les autres facteurs associes au changement therapeutique. Patients et methodes Nous avons mene une etude observationnelle basee sur la cohorte multicentrique JIRECHO, issue de la JIR Cohorte, incluant des patients atteints d’AJI. Les patients avaient un suivi clinique et echographique semestriel standardise. L’echographie articulaire etait realisee par des echographistes prealablement entraines et reproductibles selon les recommandations OMERACT [1] . La synovite echographique etait definie par la presence d’un epanchement et/ou d’une hypertrophie synoviale en mode B (≥ grade 1) associee ou non a une vascularisation doppler (≥ grade 1). Les donnees cliniques, d’activite globale (EVA, JADAS), biologiques (CRP, VS) et therapeutiques etaient recueillies. Resultats Nous avons inclus 112 patients. Le nombre total de visites medicales etait de 185. Trois groupes ont ete definis selon le traitement : augmente (22 %), diminue (14 %) et stable (64 %). Dans un premier temps, nous avons compare les patients chez qui le traitement a ete augmente avec les autres patients. La presence d’au moins une synovite echographique en mode B n’etait pas statistiquement plus eleve dans le groupe « augmentation de traitement » quoique numeriquement plus elevee (80 % vs 65 %, p = 0,06). Il n’y avait pas de difference significative pour la presence d’au moins une synovite en mode doppler (30 % vs 23 %, p = 0,4). Les EVA patients et medecins etaient en revanche significativement plus elevees lorsque le traitement etait augmente [3,3 vs 1,7, p Fig. 1 ). Conclusion Notre etude a montre que la presence d’au moins une synovite echographique en mode B et/ou D n’etait pas statistiquement associee au changement de traitement dans l’AJI, meme si la balance Se/Sp est proche de celle de l’avis du medecin et du score d’activite clinique.

Abstract: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been suggested to drive immune system activation, but the induction of interferon signaling by mtDNA has not been demonstrated in a Mendelian mitochondrial disease. We initially ascertained two patients, one with a purely neurological phenotype, and one with features suggestive of systemic sclerosis in a syndromic context, and found them both to demonstrate enhanced interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in blood. We determined each to harbor a previously described de novo dominant-negative heterozygous mutation in ATAD3A, encoding ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 3A (ATAD3A). We identified five further patients with mutations in ATAD3A, and recorded up-regulated ISG expression and interferon alpha protein in four of them. Knockdown of ATAD3A in THP-1 cells resulted in increased interferon signaling, mediated by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Enhanced interferon signaling was abrogated in THP-1 cells and patient fibroblasts depleted of mtDNA. Thus, mutations in the mitochondrial membrane protein ATAD3A define a novel type I interferonopathy.SummaryDominant-negative mutations in ATAD3A, a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial protein, cause mitochondrial DNA-dependent up-regulation of type I interferon signaling in the context of neurological disease and autoimmunity, thereby defining a novel type I interferonopathy.

Abstract: Background Children have a low rate of COVID-19 and secondary severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) but present a high prevalence of symptomatic seasonal coronavirus infections. Aim We tested if prior infections by seasonal coronaviruses (HCoV) NL63, HKU1, 229E or OC43 as assessed by serology, provide cross-protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods We set a cross-sectional observational multicentric study in pauci- or asymptomatic children hospitalised in Paris during the first wave for reasons other than COVID (hospitalised children (HOS), n = 739) plus children presenting with MIS (n = 36). SARS-CoV-2 antibodies directed against the nucleoprotein (N) and S1 and S2 domains of the spike (S) proteins were monitored by an in-house luciferase immunoprecipitation system assay. We randomly selected 69 SARS-CoV-2-seropositive patients (including 15 with MIS) and 115 matched SARS-CoV-2-seronegative patients (controls (CTL)). We measured antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV as evidence for prior corresponding infections and assessed if SARS-CoV-2 prevalence of infection and levels of antibody responses were shaped by prior seasonal coronavirus infections. Results Prevalence of HCoV infections were similar in HOS, MIS and CTL groups. Antibody levels against HCoV were not significantly different in the three groups and were not related to the level of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the HOS and MIS groups. SARS-CoV-2 antibody profiles were different between HOS and MIS children. Conclusion Prior infection by seasonal coronaviruses, as assessed by serology, does not interfere with SARS-CoV-2 infection and related MIS in children.

Abstract: Summary Background Various observations have suggested that the course of COVID-19 might be less favourable in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases receiving rituximab compared with those not receiving rituximab. We aimed to investigate whether treatment with rituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Methods In this cohort study, we analysed data from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, which included patients aged 18 years or older with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases and highly suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The primary endpoint was the severity of COVID-19 in patients treated with rituximab (rituximab group) compared with patients who did not receive rituximab (no rituximab group). Severe disease was defined as that requiring admission to an intensive care unit or leading to death. Secondary objectives were to analyse deaths and duration of hospital stay. The inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score method was used to adjust for potential confounding factors (age, sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, body-mass index, interstitial lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, corticosteroid use, chronic renal failure, and the underlying disease [rheumatoid arthritis vs others]). Odds ratios and hazard ratios and their 95% CIs were calculated as effect size, by dividing the two population mean differences by their SD. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04353609. Findings Between April 15, 2020, and Nov 20, 2020, data were collected for 1090 patients (mean age 55·2 years [SD 16·4]); 734 (67%) were female and 356 (33%) were male. Of the 1090 patients, 137 (13%) developed severe COVID-19 and 89 (8%) died. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, severe disease was observed more frequently (effect size 3·26, 95% CI 1·66–6·40, p=0·0006) and the duration of hospital stay was markedly longer (0·62, 0·46–0·85, p=0·0024) in the 63 patients in the rituximab group than in the 1027 patients in the no rituximab group. 13 (21%) of 63 patients in the rituximab group died compared with 76 (7%) of 1027 patients in the no rituximab group, but the adjusted risk of death was not significantly increased in the rituximab group (effect size 1·32, 95% CI 0·55–3·19, p=0·53). Interpretation Rituximab therapy is associated with more severe COVID-19. Rituximab will have to be prescribed with particular caution in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Funding None.

Abstract: Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial agent given to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as first-line therapy. It alleviates childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus cSLE skin and musculoskeletal disease, decreasing disease activity and flares. HCQ concentration–effect relationships in children remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of HCQ and possible concentration–effect relationships. Methods: HCQ blood concentrations and effects were obtained during clinical follow-up on different occasions. cSLE flares were defined using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), flare was denoted by a SLEDAI score &gt, 6. Blood concentration was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection. Statistical analysis was performed using a nonlinear mixed-effect approach with the Monolix software. Results: A total of 168 blood samples were obtained from 55 pediatric patients. HCQ apparent blood clearance (CL/F) was dependent on patients’ bodyweight and platelet count. Patients with active cSLE had a lower mean blood HCQ concentration compared with inactive cSLE patients (536 ± 294 vs. 758 ± 490 ng/mL, p = 5 × 10-6). Among patients with HCQ blood concentration ≥ 750 ng/mL, 87.6% had inactive cSLE. Moreover, HCQ blood concentration was a significant predictor of disease status. Conclusion: We developed the first HCQ blood concentration–effect relationship for cSLE associated with active or non-active disease status. A prospective randomized study is necessary to confirm these results.

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) in JDM. Methods We conducted a single-centre retrospective study of patients with JDM treated by JAKi with a follow-up of at least 6 months. Proportion of clinically inactive disease (CID) within 6 months of JAKi initiation was evaluated using PRINTO criteria and skin Disease Activity Score. Serum IFN-α concentration was measured by Simoa assay. Results Nine refractory and one new-onset patients with JDM treated with ruxolitinib (n = 7) or baricitinib (n = 3) were included. The main indications for treatment were refractory muscle involvement (n = 8) and ulcerative skin disease (n = 2). CID was achieved in 5/10 patients (two/two anti-MDA5, three/four anti-NXP2, zero/three anti-TIF1γ-positive patients) within 6 months of JAKi introduction. All responders could withdraw plasmatic exchange, immunoadsorption and other immunosuppressive drugs. The mean daily steroid dose decreased from 1.1 mg/kg (range 0.35–2 mg/kg/d) to 0.1 (range, 0–0.3, P = 0.008) in patients achieving CID, and was stopped in two. Serum IFN-α concentrations were elevated in all patients at the time of treatment initiation and normalized in both responder and non-responder. A muscle biopsy repeated in one patient 26 months after the initiation of JAKi, showed a complete restoration of muscle endomysial microvascular bed. Herpes zoster and skin abscesses developed in three and two patients, respectively. Conclusion JAKis resulted in a CID in a subset of new-onset or refractory patients with JDM and may dramatically reverse severe muscle vasculopathy. Overall tolerance was good except for a high rate of herpes zoster infection.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Gain-of-function mutations in STING1 underlie a type I interferonopathy termed SAVI (STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy). This severe disease is variably characterized by early-onset systemic inflammation, skin vasculopathy, and interstitial lung disease (ILD).OBJECTIVE: To describe a cohort of patients with SAVI.METHODS: Assessment of clinical, radiological and immunological data from 21 patients (17 families) was carried out.RESULTS: Patients carried heterozygous substitutions in STING1 previously described in SAVI, mainly the p.V155M. Most were symptomatic from infancy, but late onset in adulthood occurred in 1 patient. Systemic inflammation, skin vasculopathy, and ILD were observed in 19, 18, and 21 patients, respectively. Extensive tissue loss occurred in 4 patients. Severity of ILD was highly variable with insidious progression up to end-stage respiratory failure reached at teenage in 6 patients. Lung imaging revealed early fibrotic lesions. Failure to thrive was almost constant, with severe growth failure seen in 4 patients. Seven patients presented polyarthritis, and the phenotype in 1 infant mimicked a combined immunodeficiency. Extended features reminiscent of other interferonopathies were also found, including intracranial calcification, glaucoma and glomerular nephropathy. Increased expression of interferon-stimulated genes and interferon α protein was constant. Autoantibodies were frequently found, in particular rheumatoid factor. Most patients presented with a T-cell defect, with low counts of memory CD8+ cells and impaired T-cell proliferation in response to antigens. Long-term follow-up described in 8 children confirmed the clinical benefit of ruxolitinib in SAVI where the treatment was started early in the disease course, underlying the need for early diagnosis. Tolerance was reasonably good.CONCLUSION: The largest worldwide cohort of SAVI patients yet described, illustrates the core features of the disease and extends the clinical and immunological phenotype to include overlap with other monogenic interferonopathies.

Abstract: International audience; Whilst upregulation of type I interferon (IFN) signaling is common across the type I interferonopathies (T1Is), central nervous system (CNS) involvement varies between these disorders, the basis of which remains unclear. We collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum from patients with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), presumed monogenic T1Is (pT1I), childhood systemic lupus erythematosus with neuropsychiatric features (nSLE), non-IFN-related autoinflammation (AI) and non-inflammatory hydrocephalus (as controls). We measured IFN-alpha protein using digital ELISA. Eighty-two and 63 measurements were recorded respectively in CSF and serum of 42 patients and 6 controls. In an intergroup comparison (taking one sample per individual), median CSF IFN-alpha levels were elevated in AGS, SAVI, pT1I, and nSLE compared to AI and controls, with levels highest in AGS compared to all other groups. In AGS, CSF IFN-alpha concentrations were higher than in paired serum samples. In contrast, serum IFN was consistently higher compared to CSF levels in SAVI, pT1I, and nSLE. Whilst IFN-alpha is present in the CSF and serum of all IFN-related diseases studied here, our data suggest the primary sites of IFN production in the monogenic T1I AGS and SAVI are, respectively, the CNS and the periphery. These results inform the diagnosis of, and future therapeutic approaches to, monogenic and multifactorial T1Is.

Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is generally milder than in adults, yet a proportion of cases result in hyperinflammatory conditions often including myocarditis. To better understand these cases, we applied a multi-parametric approach to the study of blood cells of 56 children hospitalized with suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The most severe forms of MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children related to SARS-CoV-2), that resulted in myocarditis, were characterized by elevated levels of pro-angiogenesis cytokines and several chemokines. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses identified a unique monocyte/dendritic cell gene signature that correlated with the occurrence of severe myocarditis, characterized by sustained NF-κ B activity, TNF-α signaling, associated with decreased gene expression of NF-κ B inhibitors. We also found a weak response to type-I and type-II interferons, hyperinflammation and response to oxidative stress related to increased HIF-1α and VEGF signaling. These results provide potential for a better understanding of disease pathophysiology.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Accurate, detailed, and standardized phenotypic descriptions are essential to support diagnostic interpretation of genetic variants and to discover new diseases. The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), extensively used in rare disease research, provides a rich collection of vocabulary with standardized phenotypic descriptions in a hierarchical structure. However, to date, the use of HPO has not yet been widely implemented in the field of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), mainly due to a lack of comprehensive IEI-related terms. OBJECTIVES: We sought to systematically review available terms in HPO for the depiction of IEIs, to expand HPO, yielding more comprehensive sets of terms, and to reannotate IEIs with HPO terms to provide accurate, standardized phenotypic descriptions. METHODS: We initiated a collaboration involving expert clinicians, geneticists, researchers working on IEIs, and bioinformaticians. Multiple branches of the HPO tree were restructured and extended on the basis of expert review. Our ontology-guided machine learning coupled with a 2-tier expert review was applied to reannotate defined subgroups of IEIs. RESULTS: We revised and expanded 4 main branches of the HPO tree. Here, we reannotated 73 diseases from 4 International Union of Immunological Societies-defined IEI disease subgroups with HPO terms. We achieved a 4.7-fold increase in the number of phenotypic terms per disease. Given the new HPO annotations, we demonstrated improved ability to computationally match selected IEI cases to their known diagnosis, and improved phenotype-driven disease classification. CONCLUSIONS: Our targeted expansion and reannotation presents enhanced precision of disease annotation, will enable superior HPO-based IEI characterization, and hence benefit both IEI diagnostic and research activities. ispartof: JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY vol:149 issue:1 pages:369-378 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease characterized by uncontrolled production of autoantibodies and inflammatory cytokines such as the type-I interferons. Due to the lack of precise pathophysiological mechanisms, treatments are based on broad unspecific immunossupression. To identify genetic factors associated with SLE we performed whole exome sequencing and identified two RELA heterozygous activating mutations in 3 early-onset and familial SLE cases. The corresponding RELA/p65 mutant were abundant in the nucleus but poorly activate transcription of genes controlled by NF-κB consensus sequences. The co-expression of the mutant and wild-type RELA/p65 strongly activated the expression of genes controlled by the IFNα-consensus sequences. These molecular mechanisms lead to the overproduction of type-I IFN in the patients’ cells. Our findings highlight a novel mechanism of autoimmunity where these new RELA mutants are transactivating the type-I IFN genes and are thus promoting type-I interferon production and early-onset SLE, thereby paving the way to the identification of new and specific therapeutic targets.SummaryHeterozygous RELA mutations are associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, with increased expression of genes controlled by the IFNα-consensus sequences.

Abstract: Background Some patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) and severe, refractory disease achieved remission through intensive immunosuppressive treatment followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, disease relapsed in most cases. More recently selected SJIA patients received allogenic HSCT from a HLA-identical sibling or a HLA matched unrelated donor. While most transplanted patients achieved sustained SJIA remission off-treatment, the procedure-related morbidity was high. Case report A girl presented SJIA with a severe disease course since the age of 15 months. She was refractory to the combination of methotrexate and steroids to anti-interleukin (IL)-1, then anti-IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors, and thalidomide. Given the high disease burden and important treatment-related toxicity the indication for a haploidentical HSCT from her mother was validated, as no HLA matched donor was available. The patient received a T replete bone marrow graft at the age of 3.7 years. Conditioning regimen contained Rituximab, Alemtuzumab, Busulfan, and Fludarabine. Cyclophosphamide at D + 3 and + 4 post HSCT was used for graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis, followed by Cyclosporin A and Mycophenolate Mofetil. Post HSCT complications included severe infections, grade 3 intestinal graft-versus-host-disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, and immune thrombocytopenia. Three years after HSCT, the child is alive and well, notwithstanding persistent hypothyroidy requiring substitution. Immune thrombocytopenia had resolved. Most importantly, SJIA was in complete remission, off immunosuppressive drugs. Conclusion Allogenic HSCT may be a therapeutic option, even with a HLA haplo-identical alternative donor, in patients with inflammatory diseases such as SJIA. Despite increased experience with this treatment, the risk of life-threatening complications restrains its indication to selected patients with severe, refractory disease.

Abstract: Objectives JDM and juvenile overlap myositis represent heterogeneous subtypes of juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM). Chronic evolution can occur in up to 60% of cases, and morbidity/mortality is substantial. We aimed to describe the clinical, biological, histological and type I IFN status in JIIM associated with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) autoantibodies at presentation (group 1) in comparison with other JIIM (group 2). Methods This was a retrospective and prospective study of patients with JIIM ascertained from three French paediatric rheumatology reference centres between 2013 and 2019. Muscle biopsies were reviewed. Type I interferon pathway activity was assessed by dosage of IFNα serum protein and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes. Results Sixty-four patients were included, 13 in group 1 (54% JDM and 46% juvenile overlap myositis) and 51 in group 2 (76% JDM and 24% juvenile overlap myositis). Group 1 patients demonstrated more arthritis, skin ulcerations, lupus features and interstitial lung disease, and a milder muscular involvement. Serum IFNα levels were higher in group 1 than 2, and decreased after treatment or improvement in both groups. Outcome was similar in both groups. Unconventional treatment (more than two lines) was required in order to achieve remission, especially when skin ulceration was reported. Conclusion This study indicates a higher frequency of arthritis, skin ulcerations and interstitial lung disease, but milder muscular involvement, in JIIM with positive anti-MDA5 autoantibodies compared with other JIIM. Our data support an important role of systemic IFNα in disease pathology, particularly in the anti-MDA5 auto-antibody-positive subgroup. In severe and refractory forms of JIIM, IFNα may represent a therapeutic target.

Abstract: BackgroundAdenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) mutations cause a spectrum of neurological phenotypes ranging from severe encephalopathy (Aicardi-Goutières syndrome) to isolated spastic paraplegia and are associated with enhanced type I interferon signalling. In children, non-neurological involvement in the type I interferonopathies includes autoimmune and rheumatological phenomena, with calcifying cardiac valve disease only previously reported in the context of MDA5 gain-of-function.ResultsWe describe three patients with biallelic ADAR mutations who developed calcifying cardiac valvular disease in late childhood (9.5–14 years). Echocardiography revealed progressive calcification of the valvular leaflets resulting in valvular stenosis and incompetence. Two patients became symptomatic with biventricular failure after 5–6.5 years. In one case, disease progressed to severe cardiac failure despite maximal medical management, with death occurring at 17 years. Another child received mechanical mitral and aortic valve replacement at 16 years with good postoperative outcome. Histological examination of the affected valves showed fibrosis and calcification.ConclusionsType I interferonopathies of differing genetic aetiology demonstrate an overlapping phenotypic spectrum which includes calcifying cardiac valvular disease. Individuals with ADAR-related type I interferonopathy may develop childhood-onset multivalvular stenosis and incompetence which can progress insidiously to symptomatic, and ultimately fatal, cardiac failure. Regular surveillance echocardiograms are recommended to detect valvular disease early.

Abstract: BackgroundChildren have a lower rate of COVID-19, potentially related to cross-protective immunity conferred by seasonal coronaviruses (HCoVs). We tested if prior infections with seasonal coronaviruses impacted SARS-CoV-2 infections and related Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS).MethodsThis cross-sectional observational study in Paris hospitals enrolled 739 pauci or asymptomatic children (HOS group) plus 36 children with suspected MIS (MIS group). Prevalence, antigen specificity and neutralizing capability of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were tested. Antibody frequency and titres against Nucleocapsid (N) and Spike (S) of the four seasonal coronaviruses (NL63, HKU1, 229E, OC43) were measured in a subset of seropositive patients (54 SARS-CoV-2 (HOS-P subgroup) and 15 MIS (MIS-P subgroup)), and in 118 matched SARS-CoV-2 seronegative patients (CTL subgroup).FindingsSARS-CoV-2 mean prevalence rate in HOSP children was 11.7% from April 1 to June 1. Neutralizing antibodies were found in 55·6% of seropositive children, and their relative frequency increased with time (up to 100 % by mid-May). A majority of MIS children (25/36) were SARS-CoV-2 seropositive, of which all tested (n=15) had neutralizing antibodies. On average, seropositive MIS children had higher N and S1 SARS-CoV-2 titres as compared to HOS children. Patients from HOS-P, MIS-P, and CTL subgroups had a similar prevalence of antibodies against the four seasonal HCoVs (66·9 −100%). The level of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was not significantly different in children who had prior seasonal coronavirus infection.InterpretationPrior infection with HCoVs does not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and related MIS in children. Children develop neutralizing antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 infection.Evidence before this studyChildren seem to be less likely affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection and clinical course of COVID-19 is less severe than in adults. As those asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic children are underdiagnosed and their viral loads are comparable to those of adults, they may act as an asymptomatic reservoir for the spread of the virus. One explanation of the difference between the adult and the pediatric infectious profile might be that infection with seasonal human coronaviruses, which is very frequent from a very young age, could lead to cross protective immunity. We searched in PubMed, MedRxiv and BioRxiv for publications from inception to June 15, 2020, using the terms “COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, children, serology, Kawasaki, Corona Virus”.Added value of this studySARS-CoV-2 mean prevalence rate was 11.7% from April 1 to June 1 and neutralizing antibodies were found in 55% of the tested seropositive children. Among patients with a Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, Kawasaki-like disease, 70% were SARS-CoV-2 seropositive and had neutralizing antibodies. COVID-19 and MIS attack rates, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies titres were not significantly impacted by prior seasonal coronavirus infection.Implications of all the available evidencePrior infection by seasonal coronaviruses does not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children As antibodies against seasonal coronaviruses are very frequent and as these viruses circulate efficiently in human populations every winter, our results question to what extent the concept of herd immunity based on circulating antibodies can be applied to seasonal coronaviruses and possibly SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract: End of April 2020, French clinicians observed an increase in cases presenting with paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS). Nationwide surveillance was set up and demonstrated temporospatial association with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic for 156 reported cases as at 17 May: 108 were classified as confirmed (n = 79), probable (n = 16) or possible (n = 13) post-COVID-19 PIMS cases. A continuum of clinical features from Kawasaki-like disease to myocarditis was observed, requiring intensive care in 67% of cases.
