Article Abstract

Primary immunodeficiency diseases are associated with an increased tendency for noninfectious complications of autoimmunity and malignancy, particularly leukemia and lymphoma. The mechanisms of immune dysregulation have been linked to the combination of dysregulated immune cells and environmental factors such as infections. In particular, dysfunction in T-cell subsets and Epstein-Barr virus contributes to the development of autoimmunity and lymphoproliferative disease in primary immunodeficiency diseases. There are scant reports of patients with partial DiGeorge syndrome and Epstein-Barr virus-driven lymphoma. We report 1 patients with partial DiGeorge syndrome who developed lymphoma, and review reported cases in the literature.

Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome or DiGeorge syndrome commonly report gastrointestinal symptoms in addition to more widely understood cardiac and immunodeficiency abnormalities. However, the morphologic features of gastrointestinal tract pathology in these patients are poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
  • - DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is a common microdeletion syndrome that impacts various body systems such as the heart, nervous, and immune systems; this study evaluated clinical and neurocognitive aspects of 52 DGS patients.
  • - Out of the 52 patients, the median age was about 10.5 years, with partial DGS noted in those who survived; 15 patients did not survive during the study period.
  • - Significant neurological issues were identified, including brain abnormalities in 72% of patients and various neuropsychological impairments, highlighting the need for awareness and tailored care for these individuals.

Developmental Imaging and Psychopathology Laboratory, University of Geneva School of Medicine, Geneva, Switzerland; Department of Genetic Medicine and Development, University of Geneva School of Medicine, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background: Compared with conventional unimodal analysis, understanding how brain function and structure relate to one another opens a new biologically relevant assessment of neural mechanisms. However, how function-structure dependencies (FSDs) evolve throughout typical and abnormal neurodevelopment remains elusive. The 22q11.
