The disease represents a wide range of phenotypes. Therefore, it may present with various clinical patterns. Throughout the years, several difficult-to-diagnose cases of DADA2 were reported in the literature. Although several studies and reviews were published regarding different phenotypes and manifestations of DADA2, a review of challenging cases with diverse combinations of DADA2 manifestations was needed to integrate the knowledge from the literature into the clinical practice. Immunological, hematologic, autoinflammatory, and adult-onset polyarteritis-nodosa patterns were reported in the literature as cases challenging to diagnose. In this review, we aim to summarize the challenging case reports from the literature, provide an algorithmic approach for these kinds of presentations, and share our perspective and recommendations on the topic. Diagnosing DADA2 on time is a vital issue for preventing fatal and debilitating vascular events with anti-TNF-alpha therapy. Thus, early testing for DADA2 in suspected cases is recommended. Family history and genetic testing of the patient and the first-degree relatives are essential for accurate diagnosis. Thorough systemic examination and imaging might help detect clinically silent findings of vasculitis. Enzymatic activity of ADA2, when available, is also a key diagnostic tool that complements genetic testing and clinical evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":10268,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12062958/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The involvement of the immune system in the pathology of MS is well established, particularly the adaptive T cell response, and there has been a particular focus on the IL-17-producing subset of Th17 cells and their role in driving disease. However, the importance of innate immune cells has not been so well characterized. Here we focussed on neutrophils, which are innate immune cells and rapid responders to inflammation, and which have recently been linked to other chronic autoimmune conditions. Multiple strands of evidence in patients with MS and in mice with the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis MS model suggest neutrophils may play a role in driving MS inflammation. Here, we performed proteomic analysis on neutrophils from patients with MS and healthy donors, revealing striking differences. In particular, granule proteins were significantly more abundant in the MS neutrophils compared to the healthy controls, with a particular overabundance of proteins in primary and secondary granules. In addition, members of the MAVS signalling pathway were differently regulated compared to healthy donor cells. Finally, we find that MS neutrophils do not suppress T cell activation equivalently to healthy neutrophils, and in particular are unable to suppress expression of CD161 on the T cells, indicative of a suppression of Th17 differentiation.
