Abstract:
Abstract Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome of pathological immune activation characterized by clinical signs and symptoms of extreme inflammation. It results from the uninhibited proliferation and activation of cells of the macrophage lineage and leads to the production of excess amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The familial form of HLH disease is due to mutations in several genes necessary for natural killer (NK) cell and T cell granule-mediated cytotoxic function. These genes are involved in sorting, trafficking, docking, and fusion of cytotoxic granules containing granzymes A and B and perforin to the cell membrane of the target cell (using the proteins LYST, AP-3 complex, Rab27a, Munc 13–4, Munc 18–2, syntaxin 11). Defect in any of those proteins results in defective cytotoxicity. Consequently, genes included in these steps play valuable roles in the pathogenesis of familial HLH disease including perforin (PRF1) gene in which defect causes familial HLH type 2 (FHL2). Case presentation: A 2-year-old boy suffered from hepatosplenomegaly and fever. He fulfilled the required criteria for the diagnosis of HLH according to HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria. We screened the patient for the presence of mutations in the coding exons and of PRF1 gene by PCR amplification of genomic DNA followed by direct sequencing of the PCR products. We report a novel homozygous deletion/insertion frameshift mutation in PRF1 gene (M28393: exon 2: c.536delAinsCG p.F178fs). We treated him with HLH 2004 protocol of treatment and showed a remarkable response with resolution of fever and decrement in the size of hepatosplenomegaly. Conclusions: Our study discovered a novel frameshift mutation in PRF1 gene in an infant with HLH disease, and it is the first report of this type of mutation in Egyptian patients with this disease
