DOCK8 deficiency leads to combined immunodeficiency characterized by susceptibility to infections, autoimmunity, and a severe Th2-type immune response. While dysfunction in various T cell subsets has been implicated in these phenotypes, a comprehensive analysis of the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in these patients has not yet been documented. This study investigates the αβ TCR repertoire in DOCK8-deficient patients to identify features related to disease pathogenesis and explore the potential role of TCR repertoire alterations in disease development.METHODSWe compared immune repertoire profiles determined by high-throughput TCR sequencing of circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from patients with DOCK8 deficiency (n = 10) to healthy controls (n = 7) and patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) (n = 5).RESULTSDifferent diversity analyses revealed a restricted TRA and TRB repertoire in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from DOCK8-deficient patients, with the restriction being more pronounced in CD8+ T cells. Skewed usage of individual variable (V) and joining (J) genes and potentially self-reactive CD8+ T cell clones, as determined by hydrophobicity and cysteine indices, were identified in DOCK8-deficient patients.CONCLUSIONOur study represents the most comprehensive immune repertoire analysis in DOCK8 deficiency. The identification of a significantly restricted αβ TCR repertoire, along with the detection of potentially autoreactive clones, highlights the crucial role of immune repertoire profiling in elucidating the pathogenesis of DOCK8 deficiency.","PeriodicalId":122,"journal":{"name":"Allergy","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can be classified into immediate-drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) and delayed-DHRs (DDHRs) based on their phenotype. Drugs do not always behave as allergens and need to bind to proteins, forming adducts. Therefore, IDHRs can be classified as antigenic (IgE, and IgG mediated) and nonantigenic immune responses (complement activation-[CARPA], mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2 [MRGPRX2], cyclooxygenase [COX]-1 and cytokine release reactions [CRRs]). DDHRs are even more complex due to the different cell subsets and mechanisms involved, showing both antigenic and nonantigenic immune responses too. Since different endotypes result in similar phenotypes, the establishment of specific biomarkers is essential for an accurate diagnosis, with important relevance for the management of patients, as well as for risk stratification. The biomarkers of clinical utility are skin tests, specific IgE (sIgE), tryptase, and some HLA-DR genotyping. The diagnostic performance depends on the responsible drug.
