Description

Ettinger et al reviewed mucocutaneous conditions associated with primary immunodeficiencies.

The authors are from University Medical Center Regensburg and University Hospital of Cologne.

 


Patient selection: primary immunodeficiency with oral ulcer, aphthous ulcer, gingivitis, periodontitis, leukokeratosis (excluding oral candidiasis)

 

Conditions to consider:

(1) congenital cyclic neutropenia (ELANE, HAX1, G6PC3, VPS45A, JAGN1, GF11, GSD1b, CTSC, WAS)

(2) leukocyte adhesion deficiency = LAD (ITGB2, SLC35C1, FERMT3)

(3) Chediak-Higash syndrome (LYST)

(4) chronic granulomatous disease (CYBA/B, NCF1/2/4)

(5) dyskeratosis congenita (ACD, CTC1, DKC1, NHP2, RTEL1, NOP10, PARN, TCAB1, TERC/T, TINF2)

(6) X-linked agammaglobulinemia = XLA (BTK)

(7) CD40 ligand deficiency = X-chromosome recessive Hyper IgM syndrome (CD154)

(8) CD40 deficiency = autosomal recessive Hyper IgM syndrome (CD40)

 

Oral ulcers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6

Aphthous ulcers: 4

Gingivitis: 2, 3, 4

Periodontitis: 1, 2, 3
