Herein, we describe clinical manifestations and long-term complications of eight LAD-1 patients. Four LAD-1 patients were treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), while the remaining four, including two with moderate LAD-1 deficiency, received continuous antibiotic prophylaxis. Untreated patients presented numerous infections and autoimmune manifestations. In particular, two of them developed renal and intestinal autoimmune diseases, despite the expression of Beta-2 integrin was partially conserved. Other two LAD-1 patients developed type 1 diabetes and autoimmune cytopenia after HSCT, suggesting that HSCT is effective for preventing infections in LAD-1, but does not prevent the risk of the autoimmune complications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29548898?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soncini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vairo, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanfranchi, Arnalda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badolato, Raffaele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porta, Fulvio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-Term Survival After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Complete STAT1 Deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Affected patients are prone to early severe mycobacterial and viral infections, which usually result in death before 18 months of age. We previously reported a patient affected by complete STAT1 deficiency who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here, we describe the transplantation procedures and long-term outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The patient, who had suffered multiple life-threatening mycobacterial and viral infections in the first years of life, underwent HSCT at 4 years of age from a partially matched (HLA compatibility 8/10) unrelated donor after a myeloablative conditioning regimen consisting of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and anti-thymocyte globulin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Hematological reconstitution was detected at d+15, with full donor engraftment demonstrated by molecular analysis of leukocytes. Several complications occurred in the post-transplantation phase, including acute graft versus host disease, posterior reversible encephalopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, bilateral keratoconjunctivitis with complete loss of vision, and chronic lower limb lymphedema. Analysis of STAT1 in CD3 cells at 90 and 120 days after HSCT by flow cytometry showed normal STAT1 phosphorylation levels in response to IFN-α.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Notably, no severe infections occurred after discharge (day + 90) during a 9-year follow-up, suggesting that normal response to IFNs in hematopoietic cells is sufficient to provide protection in humans.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28815344?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biondi, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biagi, Ettore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badolato, Raffaele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From bone marrow transplantation to cellular therapies: possible therapeutic strategies in managing autoimmune disorders.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Pharm Des</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

However, available therapies seem not to be targeted on the pathogenic mechanism of the disease and are often not actively affecting the natural history of the disease. Emerging treatments might be of some benefit to many patients who did not respond to conventional therapeutic options. Biological therapies with monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins have been introduced in clinical practice. At the same time, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have gained attention as a savage treatment in patients subjected to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who develop severe graft versus host disease (GvHD); in addition, recent reports from clinical trials on larger cohorts of patients support their use as second-line treatment after failure of corticosteroid treatment. For analogy, they have been proposed for the treatment of intractable autoimmune disorders. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been shown to be effective for treatment of rheumatic disorder cases that were resistant to traditional therapies especially if combined with cell manipulation techniques, such as selection of regulatory T cell and depletion of harmful lymphocytes. We herein present the rationale of different strategies, the preliminary data obtained in clinical trials, unsolved problems and possible next developments of novel treatment protocols of autoimmune disorders.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22726117?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazza, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buzi, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ortolani, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitali, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacchetta, Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soresina, Annarosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lougaris, Vassilios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greggio, Nella A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasic, Srdjan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Vroede, Monique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pac, Malgorzata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kilic, Sara Sebnem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozden, Sanal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusconi, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martino, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capalbo, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salerno, Mariacarolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pignata, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radetti, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plebani, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Luigi D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badolato, Raffaele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical heterogeneity and diagnostic delay of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

We analyzed the AIRE (autoimmune regulator) gene in subjects who presented any symptom that has been associated with APECED, including candidiasis and autoimmune endocrinopathy. We observed that 83.3% of patients presented at least two of the three typical manifestations of APECED, while the remaining 16.7% of patients showed other signs of the disease. Analysis of the genetic diagnosis of these subjects revealed that a considerable delay occurs in the majority of patients between the appearance of symptoms and the diagnosis. Overall, the mean diagnostic delay in our patients was 10.2 years. These results suggest that molecular analysis of AIRE should be performed in patients with relapsing mucocutaneous candidiasis for early identification of APECED.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21295522?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
