ESID/PAGID 1999, CVID:• Decrease of IgG (at least 2 SD below the mean for age) and a marked decrease in at least one of the isotypes IgM or IgA, • Onset of immunodeficiency at greater than 2 years of age• Absent isohemagglutinins and/or poor response to vaccines• Defined causes of hypogammaglobulinemia have been excluded according to a list of differential diagnosis
[…] The number of potential distinct entities within this group is still unknown, and the diagnosis remains one of exclusion. Monogenic forms have been described, but polygenic inheritance is likely in most. Despite the fact that several monogenic defects underlying apparent CVID have been
defined, because of the rarity of each defect and the lack in most cases of significant impact on management, as well as the cost of testing, genetic studies are not considered appropriate for routine use in patients with CVID at this time.
• Incidence ~ 1:10.000 – 1:100.000• Rare disease… but most frequent symptomatic PID in adults!
• Mendelian Inheritance ~5-25%• However untill 2012 only rare monogenic forms: ICOS, BAFF-R, CD19, CD20, CD81• Some common genetic factors (TACI/TNFRSF13B and MSH5 polymorphisms)
• Bimodal peak of incidence (first decade and third decade)• Long diagnostic delay! (~4-10 years)

Genetic studies to investigate monogenic forms of CVID or for disease-modifying polymorphisms are not generally required for diagnosis and management in most of the patients, especially those who present with infections only without immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, malignancy, or other complications. In these latter groups of patients, however, single gene defects may be amenable to specific therapies (eg, stem cell therapy) and molecular genetic diagnosis should be considered when possible.

Exome and genome sequencing for inborn errors of immunity.Meyts I, Casanova JL et al.
[…] Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is presently the most cost-effective approach for research and diagnostics, although whole-genome sequencing offers several advantages.
The scientific or diagnostic challenge consists in selecting 1 or 2 candidate variants among thousands of NGS calls.
[…] Subsequent functional validation of the disease-causing effect of the candidate variant is critical. Even the most up-to-date dry lab cannot clinch this validation without a seasoned wet lab. […] Finding the needle in the haystack takes patience, prudence, and discernment.

Riassumendo:Nei pazienti con CVID con:- Esordio precoce e/o familiarità per PID, neoplasie o autoimmunità- Complicata da autoimmunità, infiammazione, linfoproliferazione, neoplasie
Il miglior rapporto costo/performance è fornito dal whole exome sequencing- Permette attualmente la diagnosi in ~20-50% dei pazienti - Prevedibile aumento della sensibilità grazie all’approccio unbiased, al continuo
riconoscimento di nuove varianti, al miglioramento dei software di analisi (es. CNVs) e dei database di riferimento.
- Necessaria grande attenzione nella identificazione delle varianti (coerenza clinica, Sanger di conferma, studi funzionali)
La ricerca di una causa genetica è raccomandabile in quanto:- Può cambiare la diagnosi (CVID mimics)- Può cambiare la gestione clinica (radiosensibilità, screening per tumori)- Può cambiare la prognosi (forme con progressione a LOCID)- Può cambiare la terapia (HSCT, terapie biologiche mirate)- Può fornire informazioni sulla ereditabilità e counseling genetico per i familiari
Vi ringrazio per l’attenzione…
