Abnormal Immune Profile in Individuals with Kabuki Syndrome

Résumé

Objective: To analyze the lymphocyte subsets in individuals with Kabuki syndrome for better characterizing the immunological phenotype of this rare congenital disorder. Methods: We characterized the immunological profile including B-, T- and natural killer-cell subsets in a series (N = 18) of individuals with Kabuki syndrome. Results: All 18 individuals underwent genetic analysis: 15 had a variant in KMT2D and 3 a variant in KDM6A. Eleven of the 18 individuals (61%) had recurrent infections and 9 (50%) respiratory infections. Three (17%) had autoimmune diseases. On immunological analysis, 6 (33%) had CD4 T-cell lymphopenia, which was preferentially associated with the KMT2D truncating variant (5/9 individuals). Eight of 18 individuals (44%) had a humoral deficiency and eight (44%) had B lymphopenia. We found abnormal distributions of T-cell subsets, especially a frequent decrease in recent thymic emigrant CD4 + naive T-cell count in 13/16 individuals (81%). Conclusion: The immunological features of Kabuki syndrome showed variable immune disorders with CD4 + T-cell deficiency in one third of cases, which had not been previously reported. In particular, we found a reduction in recent thymic emigrant naïve CD4 + T-cell count in 13 of 16 individuals, representing a novel finding that had not previously been reported.
