PG - 152005 LID - S0171-2985(20)30061-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.imbio.2020.152005 [doi] AB - Monosomy 7 is generally considered as an acquired cytogenetic abnormality within hematopoietic cells, and indicates an especially high risk of progression to bone marrow failure, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). We report a case of a 6-month-old female infant with mosaic monosomy 7 who presented with clinical and laboratory evidences of immunodeficiency. The patient had suffered from recurrent respiratory infections since she was born. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets revealed an extremely low level of CD19(+) B lymphocytes (0.3 approximately 0.8%, normal range: 6.4 approximately 22.6%) and a decreased CD4/CD8 ratio (0.67 approximately 1.12, normal range: 1.4 approximately 2.0). Decreased serum levels of IgG (1.53 g/L, normal range: 4.09 approximately 7.03 g/L), IgA (0.10 g/L, normal range: 0.21 approximately 0.47 g/L) and IgM (0.26 g/L, normal range: 0.33 approximately 0.73 g/L) were detected, while complements were normal. Excepting transient neutropenia, routine blood tests were within normal limits. Clinical exome sequencing identified a de novo mosaic monosomy 7, while no pathogenic mutation associated with immunodeficiency was detected. However, peripheral blood cytogenetic analysis was failure to detect monosomy 7 due to the very few cell mitosis. Subsequent fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) identified a mosaic monosomy 7 in 58 cells within a total number of 100 cells, which was consistent with clinical exome sequencing. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) due to mosaic monosomy 7. Intravenous treatment with multiple antibiotic agents and infusion of gamma globulin could control the patient's respiratory infections effectively. A better understanding of PIDs will enable effective treatments and prevention of infections in these patients. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
