Implication

Case series identifies pathogenic variants in patients with inborn errors of immunity, highlighting diagnostic importance.

Key Points

  • This case series aims to identify novel pathogenic variants in Vietnamese patients with inborn errors of immunity using whole exome sequencing.
  • Used whole exome sequencing to analyze six Vietnamese patients with inborn errors of immunity.
  • Screened variants with minor allele frequency <0.001 and assessed pathogenicity using ACMG criteria and in silico tools.
  • Identified novel and known pathogenic variants in relevant genes associated with immune disorders.
  • Six pathogenic variants were identified in six patients, including a novel variant c.1110–3C>A in the STAT3 gene.
  • Other variants included mutations in IL2RG, BTK, STAT6, and NHEJ1 genes.
  • Findings underscore the critical need for accurate genetic diagnosis to improve treatment and patient care.
