Brief summary in lay language

Scientific study which investigates the functional consequences of mutations in the BIRC4 gene in XIAP deficient patients. The spectrum of clinical features we are interested in includes haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn-like disese), unexplained splenomegaly with and without hypogammaglobulinemia, periodic fevers or prolonged mononucleosis.Through functional analysis of the mutated XIAP molecule we aim to understand how the XIAP molecule works in vivo and which XIAP dependent signalling pathways are important in human immune cells. To study the impact of disease associated mutations in BIRC4 on the signals sent when NOD2 and RIG-I are activated, we use cells from affected patients. This enables us to obtain detailed information regarding the molecular consequence of the mutations. By obtaining detailed information about what happens to the XIAP protein when it is mutated and how this affects the processes in which XIAP functions, we hope to obtain understanding of what goes “wrong” in the immune cells of affected patients. On the long run, this can reveal which processes in the cell could be targeted to counterbalance the defects caused by BIRC4 mutations for future treatment. The following centers are involved: CCI Freiburg (cohort coordination and immunological diagnostics), Children's Hospital University Hamburg (genetics), Department for Transfusion Medicine, University Hospital Ulm (genetics) and Department of Disease Biology, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen (functional XIAP analysis)

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Patients with XLP, M. Crohn, EBV-infection, splenomegaly, hypogammaglobulinaemia and/or other symptoms for which a mutation in the gene BIRC4/XIAP was diagnosed. Enrolled patients will receive a venipuncture. Isolated patients cells are then flow cytometrically and genetically analyzed. Moreover, we establish cell lines to perform signalling pathway studies.
