Abstract

Background: According to the WHO's recommendation for developing countries, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination has been implemented in some countries as part of national vaccination programs at birth. Although it is generally considered safe, some complications may occur; including BCGitis (local) or BCGosis (systemic), ranging from mild like local abscesses to fatal impediments like osteomyelitis and disseminated BCG infection. This study aimed to determine the spectrum of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) in BCG-vaccinated neonates experiencing local or systemic complications. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated Iranian children referred to the Immunology, Asthma, and Allergy Research Institute (IAARI) between 2007-2023 for suspected immunodeficiency. Medical history was recorded, and primary screening tests for immunodeficiency were conducted for all cases. For suspected cases, more advanced immunologic investigations were performed to reach a definitive diagnosis. Furthermore, the study incorporated the documented genetic findings of the patients under investigation. All patients with inborn error of immunity who had a history of BCG vaccine complications within the first year of vaccination were enrolled in the study. Results: We investigated 3,275 cases suspected of IEI, identifying197 patients with both IEI and BCG vaccine complications. Among these, 127 (64.5%) were male. Symptoms began at or before 3 months of age in 64.8% of the cases, and parental consanguinity was reported in 79.2%. Genetic diagnoses were confirmed in 108 patients. Of the 197 patients, 108 (54.8%) had BCGitis, while 89 (45.2%) experienced systemic complications (BCGosis). A family history of IEI, BCG-related complications, and unexplained deaths were observed in 20.3%, 12.2%, and 29.9% of cases, respectively. Furthermore, 46.2% had at least one of these three risk factors in their history. Conclusions: Early BCG vaccine complications may indicate an underlying immunodeficiency, particularly when there is a positive family history of BCG complications, immunodeficiency, or unexplained deaths. Nation-wide vaccination protocols should address this issue by delaying inoculation to allow for immunological screening of suspected immunodeficient patients, thereby preventing BCG vaccine-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Background: Primary immunodeficiency diseases (inborn errors of immunity) with partial albinism are a group of autosomal recessive syndromes including Chediak Higashi Syndrome (CHS), Griscelli Syndrome type 2 (GS2), Hermansky‐Pudlak Syndromes type 2 and 10 (HPS2, HPS10), Vici syndrome and P14/LAMTOR2 deficiency. Methods: Twenty‐five patients including 10 CHS, 10 GS2, and 5 HPS2 were evaluated in this study within the last 10 years. Five cases with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and 5 healthy subjects without albinism were used as two control groups. Genetic analyses were performed by whole exome or panel sequencing or targeted Sanger sequencing. Subsequently, leukocyte granules in peripheral blood smear and hair shaft were examined as screening tests. Results: Giant granules were only presented in the leukocytes cytoplasm of 10/10 CHS patients. The uneven cluster of pigments and giant melanin granules in hair samples were observed in 10/10 GS2 and 10/10 CHS patients, respectively. In both 5/5 OCA and 5/5 HPS2 patients, there were regular pigments in the middle of hair shafts. Genetic analyses were performed for all patients, revealing 7 novel variants in LYST gene for CHS patients and 4 novel variants in AP3B1 for HPS2 patients. Conclusion: Receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in a timely manner is crucial in CHS and GS2 patients; therefore, screening tests may provide a vital clue for early diagnosis in these patients. However, the final confirmation of CHS, GS2, and HPS2 disorders is done by genetic assay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of air pollutants and noise on the prevalence of childhood asthma in Tehran, Iran. The standardized questionnaire was completed by one of the parents of children aged 6–7 years or by adolescents aged 13–14 years. The asthma prevalence in ages 6-7 and 13–14 was found to be 8.8% and 17.44%, respectively. A significant positive association was observed between “ever wheezing” and monoxide carbon (CO) concentration (OR=1.84, 1.05-3.25 in 13–14 years), the occurrence of 4 to 12 wheezing attacks and sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentration (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.39, 1.04-1.91) and particulate matter less than 2.5 micron (PM2.5) concentration (OR=1.38, 1.05-1.98 and OR=1.13, 0.98-1.39 in 6-7 and 13–14 years, respectively), as well as one night per week of sleep disturbances and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration (OR=1.09, 1.03-1.16 in 6–7 years, respectively). It was also found that there was a significant interaction between the noise level and particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10) level. Based on the findings, exposure to certain outdoor air pollutants and noise can affect the prevalence of asthma symptoms in residents of Tehran. The simultaneous presence of air pollutants and noise has an aggravating effect on the prevalence of asthma symptoms. Therefore, controlling sources of pollutants for reducing asthma symptoms is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Griscelli syndrome type 2 (GS2) is an autosomal recessive immunodeficiency characterized by hair hypopigmentation, recurrent fever, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia. This study aims to find new genetic changes and clinical features in 18 children with GS2 caused by the RAB27A gene defect. In all, 18 Iranian children with GS2 who presented with silver grey hair and frequent pyogenic infection were included in this study. After recording demographic and clinical data, PCR sequencing of the RAB27A gene was performed for all exons and exon–intron boundaries. Two patients in this study were subjected to whole‐exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing. Light microscopy study of hair showed large irregular clumps of pigment with the absence of giant granules on the blood smear. Mutation analysis of the RAB27A gene identified two novel missense mutations as homozygous in a patient, one in exon 2, c.140G>C and another in exon 4, c.328G>T. In addition, for 17 other patients, 6 reported mutations were obtained including c.514_518delCAAGC, c.150_151delAGinsC, c.400_401delAA, c.340delA, c.428T>C and c.221A>G. The mutation c.514_518delCAAGC was the most frequent and found in 10 patients; this mutation may be considered a hotspot in Iran. Early diagnosis and treatment of RAB27A deficiency can contribute to better disease outcomes. In affected families, genetic results could be urgently needed to make a timely decision about haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and prenatal diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Human cells homozygous for rare loss-of-expression (LOE) TYK2 alleles have impaired, but not abolished, cellular responses to IFN-alpha/beta (underlying viral diseases in the patients) and to IL-12 and IL-23 (underlying mycobacterial diseases). Cells homozygous for the common P1104A TYK2 allele have selectively impaired responses to IL-23 (underlying isolated mycobacterial disease). We report three new forms of TYK2 deficiency in six patients from five families homozygous for rare TYK2 alleles (R864C, G996R, G634E, or G1010D) or compound heterozygous for P1104A and a rare allele (A928V). All these missense alleles encode detectable proteins. The R864C and G1010D alleles are hypomorphic and loss-of-function (LOF), respectively, across signaling pathways. By contrast, hypomorphic G996R, G634E, and A928V mutations selectively impair responses to IL-23, like P1104A. Impairment of the IL-23-dependent induction of IFN-gamma is the only mechanism of mycobacterial disease common to patients with complete TYK2 deficiency with or without TYK2 expression, partial TYK2 deficiency across signaling pathways, or rare or common partial TYK2 deficiency specific for IL-23 signaling.

Abstract

Background: An increasing interest in the field of molecular diagnosis of allergy has been developed in recent years and it goes to be as the routine in vitro protocol in allergy diagnosis. friendly allergen nano-bead array (FABER) is a new multiplex assay for the evaluation of specific IgE against 244 allergens including whole extracts and allergenic molecules. The research intended to assess the pattern of IgE sensitization to allergenic components of allergens in allergic adults using FABER 244. Methods: Sixty patients with allergic diseases entered this cross-sectional study. Specific IgE to 122 whole allergens extracts and 122 allergenic components were assessed using an allergen nano-bead array (FABER) for all patients. This test includes inhalant and food allergens. Results: Thirty-seven patients were male (61.7%). The mean (SD) age of patients was 30.73(±6.87) years. As the allergen nano-bead array results showed, Lolium perenne (63.3%), Phleum pratense (60%) and Platanus acerifolia (51.7%) were considered as the most common IgE sensitizations to the aeroallergen extracts. Moreover, Lol p 1, Phl p 1.0102 and Cup a 1 were found as the most frequent allergenic components in our allergic patients. Among protein families, CCD-bearing proteins, expansin, cysteine protease and profilin families illustrated the highest allergic sensitization. Conclusions: The results of the present study demonstrated that despite the higher prevalence of sensitization to Salsola kali (47.2%) using extract-based assays in the previous phase of this research, allergenic components of grasses (Lol p 1, Phl p 1.0102), Cup a 1 as well as Sal k1 as the major components of Cupressuss arizonica and Salsola kali showed the higher sensitization, respectively, in adults' allergic patients using FABER test.

Abstract

Reported COVID-19 deaths in Germany are relatively low as compared to many European countries. Among the several explanations proposed, an early and large testing of the population was put forward. Most current debates on COVID-19 focus on the differences among countries, but little attention has been given to regional differences and diet. The low-death rate European countries (e.g. Austria, Baltic States, Czech Republic, Finland, Norway, Poland, Slovakia) have used different quarantine and/or confinement times and methods and none have performed as many early tests as Germany. Among other factors that may be significant are the dietary habits. It seems that some foods largely used in these countries may reduce angiotensin-converting enzyme activity or are anti-oxidants. Among the many possible areas of research, it might be important to understand diet and angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) levels in populations with different COVID-19 death rates since dietary interventions may be of great benefit.

Abstract

Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant immunodeficiency disease with mutation in C1 inhibitor gene (SERPING1) which deficient and dysfunction of C1-INH protein result in HAE type I or type II, respectively. The present study aimed to define the genetic spectrum of HAE type I and type II among Iranian patients. Thirty-four patients with clinical phenotype of recurrent edematous attacks in face, upper and lower limbs, hands, and upper airway entered the study. Mutations in SERPING1 were analyzed using PCR and Sanger Sequencing. In addition, Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) was performed to discover large deletions or duplications in negative screening samples by Sanger. Twenty-three patients were diagnosed with HAE type I and 11 with HAE type II. Fourteen distinctive pathogenic variations including five frameshift (p.G217Vfs*, p.V454Gfs*18, p.S422Lfs*9, p.S36Ffs*21, p.L243Cfs*9), seven missense (p.A2V, p.G493R, p.V147E, p.G143R, p.L481P, p.P399H, p.R466C), one nonsense (p.R494*), and one splicing defect (C.51 + 2 T˃C), which three of these mutations were identified novel. However, no mutation was found in seven patients by Sanger sequencing and MLPA. Final diagnosis with mutation analysis of HAE after clinical evaluation and assessment of C1INH level and function can prevent potential risks and life-threatening manifestations of the disorder. In addition, genetic diagnosis can play a significant role in facilitating early diagnosis, pre-symptomatic diagnosis, early diagnosis of children, asymptomatic cases, and those patients who have the borderline biochemical results of C1-INH deficiency and/or C4.

Abstract

Background: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) and psychological score in adults with allergic rhinitis (AR) and to assess the possible risk factors. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 adult patients with a define diagnosis of AR, who were referred to an outpatient clinic of allergy and immunology, were included in this study. The modified Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) was applied for the evaluation of QoL in these patients. The psychological score was also assessed, using the Esprint-15 questionnaire. Results: In a total of 110 patients (68 women, 42 men) with the mean±SEM age of 31.92±1.03 years, nasal congestion was the most common symptom (89.1%). Fifty-one (51%) out of 110 AR patients were found to have olfactory dysfunction (OD; hyposmia, 38%; anosmia, 13%). The relationship between nasal congestion and psychological score was significant (P= 0.005). OD had a significant relationship with QoL, as well as the psychological score (P= 0.001 and P= 0.003, respectively). Furthermore, psychological score had a significant relationship with reduction in QoL and sleep impairment (r, +0.654 and r, +0.591, respectively; P< 0.001). Statistical analysis showed that 54.5% of patients had a high psychological score, which was more common in females, although gender differences were not significant. Conclusion: Considering the increasing prevalence of AR and the significant relationship of OD and sleep impairment with QoL and psychological score, early diagnosis and treatment of AR may be important in improving QoL.

Abstract

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that are involved in intracellular communication and different biological processes. Recently, the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes has been considered as biomarkers in asthma diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the expression of selective miRNAs from plasma-derived exosomes in moderate and severe asthmatic patients compared with healthy controls. Forty-six subjects including 22 patients with severe and mild to moderate allergic asthma and 24 healthy controls have entered this study. MiRNAs were extracted from the plasma exosomes and selective miRNAs (miR-21, miR-16, miR-Let7, miR-148a, miR-155, miR-125, miR-150, miR-146a, miR-223, miR-126) expressions levels were determined; using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In this study, we found a significant up-regulation of miR-223 and miR-21 in moderate asthmatic patients compared to the healthy controls (p=0.002, p=0.006). MiR-223 and miR-21 had the probability of 83% and 76% diagnosis estimation in moderate asthmatic patients respectively. Therefore, they could be used as biomarkers in these patients. No expression of miR-125, miR-126, and miR-155 was found in plasma exosomes by qPCR in this study. The other miRNAs had no significant expression between different groups. Based on our findings, miR-223 and miR-21 may be considered biomarkers or used for targeted immunotherapies in asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The skin prick test (SPT) could be applied as a useful in vivo method for the detection of sensitization in epidemiological and diagnostic studies if the wheal size is ideally evaluated. We focused on SPT wheal size to identify sensitization pattern to common inhalant and food allergens. In this cross‐sectional study, SPT results were obtained from a total of 972 allergic patients. Common allergen extracts for SPT were selected according to the type of allergic diseases, and the geographical pattern. SPT with food allergens was performed for patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic urticaria (CU). A total of 461 male (47.4%) and 511 female (52.6%) participated in this study (median age: 31 years). The majority of individuals were affected with allergic rhinitis (AR) (n = 624) and asthma (n = 224); while 129 and 67 patients suffered from AD and CU, respectively. The most common aeroallergens were Russian thistle (52.1%) and lamb's quarter (50.7%) with the largest wheal diameter. The wheal size of lamb's quarter was significantly different between patients with asthma and AR (P<.001). In addition, a significant difference was detected in wheal diameter in response to the Russian thistle between patients with AR and AD (P =.001). Shrimp (23.6%) and Peanut (22.5%) caused the most common food sensitization in patients with AD and CU. Having in mind the most common weed pollens including the Russian thistle and lamb's quarter, preventive strategies, such as, removing unwanted weeds or preventing them from growing, avoidance, and specific immunotherapy may be crucial for better disease control.
