Background: The auto-inflammation and phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC gamma 2)-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation (APLAID) syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency caused by a gain-of-function mutation S707Y in the PLCG2 gene previously described in two patients from one family. The APLAID patients presented with early-onset blistering skin lesions, posterior uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and recurrent sinopulmonary infections caused by a humoral defect, but lacked circulating autoantibodies and had no cold-induced urticaria, contrary to the patients with the related PLAID syndrome. Case: We describe a new APLAID patient who presented with vesiculopustular rash in the 1st weeks of life, followed by IBD, posterior uveitis, recurrent chest infections, interstitial pneumonitis, and also had sensorineural deafness and cutis laxa. Her disease has been refractory to most treatments, including IL1 blockers and a trial with ruxolitinib has been attempted. Results: In this patient, we found a unique de novo heterozygous missense L848P mutation in the PLCG2 gene, predicted to affect the PLC gamma 2 structure. Similarly to S707Y, the L848P mutation led to the increased basal and EGF-stimulated PLC gamma 2 activity in vitro. Whole blood assays showed reduced production of IFN-gamma and IL-17 in response to polyclonal T-cell stimulation and reduced production of IL-10 and IL-1 beta after LPS stimulation. Reduced IL-1 beta levels and the lack of clinical response to treatment with IL-1 blockers argue against NLRP3 inflammasome hyperactivation being the main mechanism mediating the APLAID pathogenesis. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that L848P is novel a gain-of-function mutation that leads to PLC gamma 2 activation and suggest cutis laxa as a possible clinical manifestations of the APLAID syndrome.
