Inborn error of WAS presenting with SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
<title>Abstract</title> Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has been reported in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI), providing insights into disease pathogenesis. Here, we present the first case of MIS-C in a child affected by Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) gene mutation, elucidating underlying predisposing factors and the involved inflammatory pathways. Genetic analysis revealed a frameshift truncating variant in the WAS gene, resulting in WAS protein expression between mild and severe forms, despite a clinical phenotype resembling X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). IL-1β secretion by LPS-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patient during MIS-C was lower compared to healthy subjects but increased during follow-up. Conversely, the percentage ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) specks in the patient's circulating monocytes during the acute phase was higher than in healthy subjects. The type I interferon (IFN) score during MIS-C was normal, in contrast to the raised IFN signature measured far from the acute event. This case confirms the association of IEI with MIS-C, potentially linked to delayed immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. The XLT phenotype underlies a subclinical immunodysregulation involving the NLRP3 inflammasome and the type-I IFN response..
