Abstract
Objective: We are presenting two individuals with biallelic C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) deficiency carrying the novel c.644C>T p.L215P variant, who presented with chronic respiratory symptoms during infancy and developed multiple diffuse cystic lesions during childhood.
Methods: The patients were diagnosed by means of whole exome sequencing and functional validation of the variant was performed in primary patient cells.
Results: While size and extent of the cysts were stable over years, progressive lung function decline was noted in adolescence and adulthood respectively. The CCR2 p.L215P variant was found to be loss-of-expression and patient monocytes displayed a migration defect upon stimulation with the CCR2 ligand C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2).
Conclusion: With a follow-up of up to 25 years, this report expands our understanding of lung disease in CCR2 deficiency and offers another monogenic cause of cystic lung disease. Early genetic diagnosis of affected individuals might allow potentially curative treatment by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
