ABSTRACT
Immunodeficiency, centromeric region instability, facial anomalies syndrome (ICF), is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. ICF syndrome. It has been reported that ICF syndrome is caused by mutations in the DNMT3B (ICF1), ZBTB24 (ICF2), CDCA7 (ICF3), and HELLS (ICF4) genes. As a result of literature research, there are no studies on transcription factor and cytokine expressions of helper T cell subsets in ICF syndrome. In the study; Th1 (TBET, STAT1, STAT4), Th2 (GATA3, STAT6), Th17 (RORgt, STAT3), Treg (FoxP3, STAT5) transcription factors and the major cytokines of these cells (Th1; IFNG, Th2; IL4, Th17; IL17A-21-22, Treg; IL10, TGFß) expressions were aimed to be evaluated by qRT-PCR. Patients (ICF3 three patients; ICF2 two patients), six heterozygous individual and five healthy controls were included in the study. All patients had hypogammaglobulinemia. Except for the CD19 cells of P2 from patients diagnosed with ICF3, the CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19 cells in the other ICF3 patients were normal. However, the rates of these cells were low in patients with ICF2 syndrome. Factors belonging to patients' Th1, Th17 and Treg cells were significantly lower than the control. Additionally, novel mutation was detected in ZBTB24 gene (c.1121-2 A > T). Our study is the first molecular study on Th cell subsets in patients with ICF syndrome and a new mutation that causes ICF2 syndrome has been identified.
