Summary
【Research part】
My research focuses on the diagnosis and analyzing the pathophysiology of the inborn errors of immunity including XIAP deficiency, SAP deficiency, HFM, WASP, NEMO, STAT3.etc. X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by its distinctive susceptibility to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) that is often triggered by EBV infection. Mutations in SH2DIA gene encoding SLAM associated protein (SAP) form XLP1 while mutations in X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) form XLP2. In this study, four unrelated Japanese patients were diagnosed with XIAP deficiency. In addition, two brothers were identified with SAP deficiency based on absent XIAP and SAP expression in T-cell blasts. All of the patients eventually underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, leading to a complete or partial remission of the disease.
