INTRODUCTION: Autosomal dominant Hyper IgE syndrome (HIES-AD) is a primary immunodeficiency associated with connective tissue, skeletal, vascular and brain disorders. The pathogenesis of immune deficiency lies in an alteration of Th17 cells which explains the special susceptibility of these patients to S. aureus and Candida infections. OBJECTIVE: To describe three children diagnosed with hyper IgE syndrome and conduct a study on the subject, with special focus on the dominant form of the disease. CASE REPORTS: 3 children with HIES-AD (2 males and one female) with eczema since birth, skin, ear, lung, and lymph node infections, and serum IgE levels over 2,000 IU/ml and eosinophilia values, treated with antibiotics and topically, and 7 year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: It is a rare condition that requires a high index of suspicion and early management of infections. One of its main diagnoses is atopic syndrome with recurrent infections but both conditions differ in context, response and resolution against infections and lack of other phenotypic characteristics.

PURPOSE: Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES) due to heterozygous STAT3 mutation is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by eczema, elevated serum IgE, recurrent infections, and connective tissue and skeletal findings. Healing of pneumonias is often abnormal with formation of pneumatoceles and bronchiectasis. We aimed to explore whether healing after lung surgery is also aberrant. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 32 patients with AD-HIES who received lung surgery for the management of pulmonary infections from 1960 to 2011. We collected information including patient demographics, STAT3 mutation status, clinical history, surgical and medical procedures performed, complications, related medical treatments, and outcomes. RESULTS: More than 50% of lung surgeries had associated complications, with the majority being prolonged bronchopleural fistulae. These fistulae often led to empyemas that necessitated additional interventions including prolonged antibiotics, prolonged thoracostomy tube drainage and re-operations. CONCLUSION: Lung surgery in AD-HIES patients is associated with high complication rates. STAT3 mutations likely lead to abnormalities in tissue remodelling that are further exacerbated by infection.

The Bourneville-Pringle syndrome is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the development of multiple hamartomas in various systems, especially brain, skin, retina, kidney, heart and lung. The case of a patient with brownish plaques on the forehead and temporal region, pink malar and chin papules, and hypopigmented macules on the back and trunk is described. The diagnosis of the Bourneville-Pringle syndrome is based on clinical criteria. Presence of two major criteria, such as facial angiofibromas, forehead fibrous plaques, three or more hypomelanotic macules establish the definitive diagnosis. The diagnosis should be made as early as possible in order to assess and treat the associated complications. .

OBJECTIVE: Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency caused by autosomal dominant STAT3 mutations resulting in recurrent infections and connective tissue abnormalities. Coronary artery abnormalities have been reported infrequently. We aimed to determine the frequency and characteristics of coronary artery abnormalities. DESIGN: STAT3-mutated HIES patients (n=38), ranging in age from 8 to 57 years, underwent coronary artery imaging by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Images were evaluated for tortuosity, dilation, and aneurysm. Charts were reviewed for cardiac risk factors. To allow blinded image interpretation, an age- and gender-matched non-HIES group was also evaluated (n=33). RESULTS: Coronary artery tortuosity or dilation occurred in 70% of HIES patients, with aneurysms present in 37%, incidences much higher than in the literature and in our non-HIES group, in which 21% had tortuosity or dilation and 3% had aneurysms. Hypertension was more common in the HIES group than in the general population and was associated with vessel abnormalities. Atherosclerosis was uncommon and mild. CONCLUSIONS: Coronary artery aneurysms and tortuosity are common in HIES, despite a paucity of atherosclerosis, suggesting that STAT3 plays an integral role in human vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis.

The Job or hyper-immunoglobulinemia E syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency that is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. With the discovery of mutations in the STAT3 gene in the majority of autosomal dominant cases, it is now possible to make a molecular diagnosis of hyper-IgE syndrome. Both primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, including hyper-IgE syndrome, may predispose for malignancies, especially lymphomas, mainly mature B cell lymphomas, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Here, we report of a 48-year-old male with hyper-IgE syndrome who developed a primary parotid gland diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Analysis for STAT3 mutations demonstrated that the causal mutation of hyper-IgE syndrome, R382Q, arose de novo in the patient and it was transmitted to three of his five children, all three of whom are clinically affected. We review the literature regarding lymphoma in hyper-IgE syndrome and the possible etiologic relationship with STAT3 mutations.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To describe a new combined primary immunodeficiency disease, previously known as autosomal recessive hyper-IgE syndrome, whose molecular basis was discovered in 2009. RECENT FINDINGS: Two groups identified homozygous and compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) gene in at least 30 patients who had been previously diagnosed with an atypical form of hyper-IgE syndrome. Absence of DOCK8 expression impairs T cell expansion in vitro, which could help explain the T cell lymphopenia and susceptibility to cutaneous viral infections observed in these patients. In mouse models of DOCK8 deficiency, absence of DOCK8 expression also impairs the generation of a durable secondary antibody response to specific antigens, which could account for the functional antibody abnormalities and recurrent sinopulmonary infections observed in the patients. Two patients have been cured of infectious complications after myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. SUMMARY: The discovery of the molecular basis of this disease is expected to facilitate diagnosis and definitive treatment with hematopoietic cell transplantation. Further research is needed to understand how DOCK8 normally functions in lymphocytes and how DOCK8 deficiency leads to disease.

Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndromes (HIES) including compound primary immunodeficiency and nonimmunological abnormalities are characterized by extremely high serum IgE levels, eosinophilia, eczema, susceptibility to infections, distinctive facial appearance, retention of deciduous teeth, cyst-forming pneumonias, and skeletal abnormalities. Itis reported that some cases of familial HIES are relative to autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance, but most cases are sporadic, and result from mutations in the human signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene. In this paper, we firstly report a young man diagnosed of Hyper-IgE syndrome with STAT3 mutation in Mainland China, and investigate the autosomal dominant trait of his family members.

With the recent discovery of mutations in the STAT3 gene in the majority of patients with classic Hyper-IgE syndrome, it is now possible to make a molecular diagnosis in most of these cases. We have developed a PCR-based high-resolution DNA-melting assay to scan selected exons of the STAT3 gene for mutations responsible for Hyper-IgE syndrome, which is then followed by targeted sequencing. We scanned for mutations in 10 unrelated pedigrees, which include 16 patients with classic Hyper-IgE syndrome. These pedigrees include both sporadic and familial cases and their relatives, and we have found STAT3 mutations in all affected individuals. High-resolution melting analysis allows a single day turn-around time for mutation scanning and targeted sequencing of the STAT3 gene, which will greatly facilitate the rapid diagnosis of the Hyper-IgE syndrome, allowing prompt and appropriate therapy, prophylaxis, improved clinical outcome, and accurate genetic counseling.

Hyper IgE Syndrome (HIES) is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by elevated serum IgE levels and reduced inflammatory responses to bacterial infections. This leads to dermatitis, recurrent lung infections and "cold abscesses". Recently, progress was made in HIES research, when mutations in STAT3 were found in the autosomal dominant form of HIES, and impaired responses of T helper 17 cells were reported. However, the causes for reduced inflammatory responses in these patients were not fully elucidated. In view of studies that indicated that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) of HIES patients are defective in their chemotactic properties, we asked if the PMN of these patients have reduced expression of receptors for chemoattractants. To analyze this possibility, we focused on fMLP and ELR(+)-CXC chemokines - which are essential for mounting acute inflammatory responses - and determined the coding sequences and expression levels of their corresponding receptors: FPR (for fMLP) as well as CXCR1 and CXCR2 (the receptors for ELR(+)-CXC chemokines). The analyses of these receptors in HIES patients indicated that their coding sequences were intact and normal. However, the percentages of PMN that expressed FPR, CXCR1 and CXCR2 were significantly lower in HIES patients. In addition, lower expression levels per cell were denoted for CXCR1 in PMN of the patients. A cumulative score that was calculated for the three chemoattractant receptors together indicated that in some of the patients there were prominent reductions, of up to approximately 50% in the overall expression of the receptors (indicated by % positive cells and mean expression levels per cell). In addition, we asked whether deregulation of PMN activities in HIES may result from binding of IgE to corresponding receptors on HIES PMN. Our findings indicate that this is probably not the case, because similarly to normal PMN, the cells of HIES patients did not express notable levels of the IgE receptors FcvarepsilonRI and FcvarepsilonRII. Together, these results provide novel information on the expression of key determinants in PMN migration in HIES, suggesting that a defect in the expression of chemoattractant receptors may lead to impaired chemotaxis found in HIES patients, and to decreased inflammatory responses.
