[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Can it still be a PID with negative genetic testing?

[CIS-PIDD]

... How much do you trust this genetic analysis?
I am surprised. What was the coverage? Where were the gaps? Have they looked for het deletions?
Best, Bodo

Betreff: [cis-pidd] Can it still be a PID with negative genetic testing?

Dear all

I need the group's opinion in this tricky situation...



8.5 months old boy
Current weight - 6.2 kg

Normal delivery, no perinatal issues
First admission at 3 months - severe pneumonia -developed ARDS. He was ventilated for 32 days.
Organisms isolated - pseudomonas (ET), acinetobacter (blood - hospital acquired)
Second admission at 4.5 months - severe pneumonia - required oxygen support for 8 days - H1N1 positive.

Gastro-esophageal reflux treatment - fundoplication done

Third admission at 6 months of age - Admitted with respiratory failure and abdominal distension. Diagnosed with ARDS. Noted to have lower esophageal perforation. Managed with gastrostomy. Ventilated for 15 days. Organism -Pseudomonas (ET aspirate).

Also noted to have severe PAH and is on medical therapy for the same.

In view of repeated episodes of pneumonia and lymphopenia (ALC of 700 to 2000/mm3), possibility of immune deficiency (PID) considered.

Immunological work up ----
IgG < 270
IgA < 40
IgM  55
IgE 3.9

ALC - 1610 cells/mm3
T  51%,   B  41%      NK   3%
NBT  normal
DHR  normal
CD4   538/mm3
CD8   235/mm3

In view of recurrent infections and hypogammaglobulinemia, he was initiated on IVIg infusions.

Mutation testing for PID genes - revealed no mutation on NGS with a panel > 4000 genes (covers all the genes for SCID, hyper IgM syndrome and other well-known genes associated with PID).

At present, he is 8.5 months of age and gaining weight. No infections for the past 1.5 months. He is maintained on co-trimoxazole, fluconazole prophylaxis and monthly IVIg infusions.

Queries

1)      Can it still be a PID with normal genetic study?

2)      Is it a newly described PID and not being covered in the panel?

3)      Can I confirm this is not a PID?

4)      How long do I continue IVIg infusions?

Warm regards
Sagar
