Abstract

We report the updated classification of primary immunodeficiencies compiled by the Primary Immunodeficiency Expert Committee (PID EC) of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). In the two years since the previous version, 34 new gene defects are reported in this updated version. For each disorder, the key clinical and laboratory features are provided. In this new version we continue to see the increasing overlap between immunodeficiency, as manifested by infection and/or malignancy, and immune dysregulation, as manifested by auto-inflammation, auto-immunity, and/or allergy. There is also an increased number of genetic defects that lead to susceptibility to specific organisms which reflects the finely tuned nature of immune defense systems. This classification is the most up to date catalogue of all known and published primary immunodeficiencies and acts as a current reference of the knowledge of these conditions and is an important aid for the genetic and molecular diagnosis of patients with these rare diseases.

Background

The International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) Expert Committee on Primary Immunodeficiency met in London on the 14th and 15th March 2015 to update the classification of human primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). This report represents the most current and complete catalogue of known PIDs. It serves as a reference for these conditions and provides a framework to help in the diagnostic approach to patients suspected to have PID.
As in previous reports, we have classified the conditions into major groups of PIDs and these are now represented in 9 different tables (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8 and 9). In each table, we list the condition, its genetic defect if known and the major immunological and in some conditions the non-immunological abnormalities associated with the disease. This year we have added the gene OMIM number as well as the phenotype OMIM number for ease of reference.

Notes: Infants with SCID who have maternal T cell engraftment may have allogeneic T cells present even in normal numbers, but that do not function normally; these cells may cause autoimmune cytopenias or graft versus host disease. Hypomorphic mutations in several of the genes that when affected by null mutations cause SCID may result in Omenn syndrome (OS), or “leaky” SCID or a less profound combined immunodeficiency or CID phenotype. Both OS and leaky SCID can be associated with >300 autologous T cells/uL of peripheral blood and reduced rather than absent proliferative responses; Individuals with partially defective, or leaky, mutations are generally more mildly affected compared with those with typical SCID caused by null mutations. A spectrum of clinical findings including typical SCID, OS, leaky SCID, CID, granulomas with T lymphopenia, autoimmunity and CD4+ T lymphopenia can be found in an allelic series of RAG1 and other SCID associated genes. RAC2 deficiency is a disorder of leukocyte motility and is reported in Table 5; however, one patient with RAC2 deficiency had absent T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) by newborn screening, though T cell numbers and mitogen responses were not impaired. For additional syndromic conditions with T cell lymphopenia, such as DNA repair defects, cartilage hair hypoplasia, IKAROS deficiency and NEMO syndrome, see Tables 2 and 6; however, it should be noted that individuals with the most severe manifestations of these disorders could have clinical signs and symptoms of SCID
UNC119 deficiency has been removed from this version of the classification tables, as the UNC119 variant reported previously has been identified as a polymorphism in unaffected individuals (Gorska MM, Alam R. A mutation in the human Uncoordinated 119 gene impairs TCR signaling and is associated with CD4 lymphopenia. Blood. 2012 Feb 9;119(6):1399–406. doi: 10.​1182/​blood-2011-04-350686. Epub 2011 Dec 19).

As for CD19 mutations, mutations in CD81 result in normal numbers of peripheral blood B cells, low serum IgG and an increased incidence of glomerulonephritis
Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disorders (CVID) include several clinical and laboratory phenotypes that may be caused by distinct genetic and/or environmental factors. Some patients with CVID and no known genetic defect have markedly reduced numbers of B cells as well as hypogammaglobulinemia. Alterations in TNFRSF13B (TACI) and TNFRSF13C (BAFF-R) sequences may represent disease modifying mutations rather than disease causing mutations. A small minority of patients with XLP (Table 4), WHIM syndrome (Table 6), ICF (Table 2), VOD1 (Table 2), thymoma with immunodeficiency (Good syndrome) or myelodysplasia are first seen by an immunologist because of recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinemia and normal or reduced numbers of B cells

Notes: Autoinflammatory diseases are clinical disorders marked by abnormally increased inflammation, mediated predominantly by the cells and molecules of the innate immune system, with a significant host predisposition. While the genetic defect of one of the most common autoinflammatory conditions, PFAPA, is not known, recent studies suggest that it is associated with activation of IL-1 pathway and response to IL-1beta antagonists
Muckle-Wells syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) which is also called chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous and articular syndrome (CINCA) are caused by similar mutations in CIAS1/NLRP3 mutations. The disease phenotype in any individual appears to depend on modifying effects of other genes and environmental factors

The classification this year differs in a number of ways from the previous edition published in 2014. Importantly, each defect is now listed in only one table. The diverse immunological phenotypes of many conditions imply that a very large number of conditions could very readily be listed in multiple tables. However, with the increasing number of identified defects, this would make each table large and cumbersome. For this reason, we chose to list each defect in one table only and to place it according to the most pronounced and fundamental defect. For this reason and as an example, CD40L deficiency is now found in Table 1 amongst combined immunodeficiencies, because CD40L is a T cell signaling molecule whose absence leads to both cellular and humoral defects, even though it was originally described as an antibody deficiency. Although some of our placements may be disputed, the committee came to these decisions after much thought and deliberation.
The title of Table 6 has now been slightly changed to ‘Defects in intrinsic and innate immunity’ and contains defects characterized by susceptibility to specific organisms. For this reason, the MSMDs (Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease) are now in Table 6, having previously been in Table 5 (Phagocytic Disorders).
In previous editions, we have placed an asterisk against conditions in which 10 or fewer individuals had been described in the literature. However, this is now felt to be an artificial indicator as, once described, a condition may be found in additional patients but not necessarily reported. For this reason, there is no specific indicator of the number of patients identified or reported.
There is a growing appreciation of wide phenotypic variability for many of the individual specific gene defects, reflecting not only the variety of mutations within each gene but also host and/or environmental modifying factors that may impact the phenotype even between individuals with the same mutation within the same gene. The complexities of these conditions in terms of clinical and immunological presentation and heterogeneity cannot easily be captured in the limited space of a table format. For this reason, the furthest right column contains the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) reference for each condition to allow access to a source of greater detail and updated information as to the phenotype.
A number of the new genes included in this edition of the classification tables are molecules associated not only with the immune system, but also with more generic cellular functions; such defects result in both immunological and non-immunological abnormalities. In addition, there are a number of gain-of-function (GOF) mutations identified such as in PIK3CD. In CARD11 and STAT1 for example, there are both autosomal dominant GOF and autosomal recessive loss of function variants and these different modes of inheritance in the same gene lead to different functional consequences and hence different immunological and clinical phenotypes. The other trend that is increasingly observed is the increase in disorder of immunedysregulation rather than pure immunodeficiency.
The goal of the IUIS Expert Committee on Primary Immunodeficiencies is to increase awareness, facilitate recognition and promote optimal treatment for patients with Primary Immunodeficiencies. In addition to the current report and previous ‘classification table’ publications, the committee has also produced a ‘Phenotypic Approach for IUIS PID classification and Diagnosis: Guidelines for Clinicians at the Bedside,’ which aims to lead physicians to particular groups of PIDs starting from clinical features and combining routine immunological investigations. This will be further updated to include the newly identified defects. Together these contributions will hopefully allow a practical clinical framework for PID diagnosis.
