Summary: This study confirms the role of ZNFX1 in primary genetic immunodeficiency, expands the genetic and clinical spectrum of ZNFX1-related disease, and highlights the usefulness of large, well-curated, and continually updated genotype-phenotype databases in resolving molecular diagnoses of patients with initially negative genetic testing findings.

Summary: This is the first reported case of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in a Kenyan child. The patient presented with respiratory symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and a history of severe pneumonia. Imaging showed lung nodules and lymphadenopathy. Genetic testing revealed X-linked CGD. The patient underwent a successful haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is currently doing well.

Summary: Tumor necrosis factor-a inhibitors can increase the risk of infections, such as reactivation of latent tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). However, disseminated NTM is rare, and inborn errors of immunity should be considered. Three patients with disseminated NTM after tumor necrosis factor-a inhibitor use were found to have inborn errors of immunity.

Summary: A retrospective analysis of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) from the USIDNET registry revealed that type 2 inflammation, characterized by eosinophilia or elevated IgE levels, is commonly found in a wide range of IEIs. This suggests that allergic immune dysregulation may be more widespread in IEIs than previously reported.

Summary: The case study presents a child with complete deficiency of the interferon alpha/beta receptor alpha chain (IFNAR1) who experienced fatal systemic hyperinflammation, possibly triggered by live-attenuated viral vaccination. This hyperinflammatory condition, meeting the criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, is a new phenotype associated with inborn errors of type I interferon immunity.

Summary: ZNFX1 is an interferon-stimulated protein found in the outer mitochondrial membrane, capable of binding dsRNAs and interacting with MAVS proteins to stimulate the early antiviral response. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a diverse distribution of ZNFX1 in metazoans, with structural conservation in the helicase region and presence of intrinsically disordered regions in selected proteins. Over-expression of ZNFX1 in bivalve and gastropod mollusks during dsDNA virus infection highlights its antiviral role, while functional diversification in other metazoan proteins remains to be determined.

Summary: The overall disease burden of pediatric infection is high, with varying clinical outcomes. Inborn errors of immunity, which affect vulnerable children, have complex genetic and environmental causes. Recent advances in understanding these errors have improved diagnosis and treatment, but many questions remain regarding genetic and environmental contributions to phenotypic variation. It is important to integrate information to better understand the immune system and improve patient care.

Summary: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex causes tuberculosis, a disease characterized by pulmonary inflammation and potential damage to other tissues. Neutrophils, in addition to macrophages, play a role in the immune response to tuberculosis. Neutrophils possess phagocytic abilities and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of DNA, enzymes, and antimicrobial peptides, which are involved in antimicrobial defense and immune pathogenesis. This review highlights the importance of NETs in tuberculosis and their potential applications in diagnosis and therapy.

Summary: HPVs are DNA viruses classified into 5 genera, including approximately 450 types. In patients with an inborn error of immunity, some species of beta-HPVs can cause epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), characterized by stubborn cutaneous warts and skin cancer. This study identified new genetic mutations in TMC6, TMC8, and CIB1 genes and implicated new HPV subtypes in the development of typical EV.

Summary: TLR3 is identified as a central molecular regulator of calcification in valvular interstitial cells, and BGN is revealed as a new endogenous agonist of TLR3. BGN activates TLR3 through XYLT1-dependent posttranslational modification and induces the transdifferentiation of valvular interstitial cells into bone-forming osteoblasts through TLR3-dependent induction of type I interferons.

Summary: Patients with autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome suffer from various symptoms, such as recurrent infections, severe allergies, and skeletal abnormalities. The condition is usually caused by dominant-negative STAT3 variants. Recently, new dominant-negative IL6ST variants have been discovered in three unrelated families, with different biochemical and clinical impacts compared to previously reported variants.

Summary: X-linked recessive deficiency of TLR7 impairs SARS-CoV-2 recognition and type I IFN production, resulting in hypoxemic COVID-19 pneumonia. 22 unvaccinated patients with autosomal recessive MyD88 or IRAK-4 deficiency were infected with SARS-CoV-2, with a high risk of severe pneumonia. Impaired TLR7-dependent type I IFN production contributes to their susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: This study reports six patients from five families with RELA mutations, leading to autoinflammatory and autoimmune manifestations. The mutations result in loss of function of RelA protein, leading to excessive IFN expression and autoimmune response. The DN RELA mutations are identified as a novel cause of chronic mucocutaneous ulcerations with autoinflammatory and autoimmune manifestations.

Summary: Autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons are present in 15% of critical COVID-19 cases, while the impact of autoimmunity toward type III interferons remains unexplored. In a study of COVID-19 patients and SARS-CoV-2naive individuals, it was found that autoantibodies targeting interferon-alpha were more common and associated with older age, while autoreactivity to interferon-gamma did not correlate with severe disease in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: Since 2003, rare inborn errors of human type I IFN immunity have been discovered, each underlying severe viral illnesses. In 2006, autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs due to rare inborn errors of autoimmune regulator (AIRE)-driven T cell tolerance were discovered, but not initially linked to any viral disease. These two lines of clinical investigation converged in 2020, revealing that deficiencies of type I IFN immunity accounted for a significant percentage of critical COVID-19 cases in unvaccinated individuals.

Summary: SARS-CoV2 infection has a poor prognosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs). A study screened the plasma of 247 IPF patients and found that only 3 of them had these autoantibodies. Among these patients, the one with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection had life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia. However, the study did not find a significant association between these autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs and IPF.

Summary: Patients with IL-23R deficiency may suffer from Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. IL-23 is essential for the production of IL-17A in MATT cells and for the production of IFN-y in both V62+ y6 T cells and MATT cells.
