Whole‐Exome Sequencing Reveals Overlap Between Macrophage Activation Syndrome in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Open accessAbstract
Objective: Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a life‐threatening complication of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), resembles familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a constellation of autosomal‐recessive immune disorders resulting from deficiency in cytolytic pathway proteins. We undertook this study to test our hypothesis that MAS predisposition in systemic JIA could be attributed to rare gene sequence variants affecting the cytotolytic pathway. Methods: Whole‐exome sequencing was used in 14 patients with systemic JIA and MAS and in their parents to identify protein‐altering single‐nucleotide polymorphisms/indels in known HLH‐associated genes. To discover new candidate genes, the entire whole‐exome sequencing data were filtered to identify protein‐altering, rare recessive homozygous, compound heterozygous, and de novo variants with the potential to affect the cytolytic pathway. Results: Heterozygous protein‐altering rare variants in the known genes (LYST,MUNC13‐4, and STXBP2) were found in 5 of 14 patients with systemic JIA and MAS (35.7%). This was in contrast to only 4 variants in 4 of 29 patients with systemic JIA without MAS (13.8%). Homozygosity and compound heterozygosity analysis applied to the entire whole‐exome sequencing data in systemic JIA/MAS revealed 3 recessive pairs in 3 genes and compound heterozygotes in 73 genes. We also identified 20 heterozygous rare protein‐altering variants that occurred in at least 2 patients. Many of the identified genes encoded proteins with a role in actin and microtubule reorganization and vesicle‐mediated transport. “Cellular assembly and organization” was the top cellular function category based on Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (P < 3.10 × 10−5). Conclusion: Whole‐exome sequencing performed in patients with systemic JIA and MAS identified rare protein‐altering variants in known HLH‐associated genes as well as in new candidate genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
