Abstract

The presence of large granular lymphocytes has been reported in patients with ADA2 deficiency and T-LGL leukemia. Here we describe two siblings with novel ADA2 variants, expanding the mutational spectrum of ADA2 deficiency. We show that lymphoproliferation, persistence of large granular lymphocytes, T-cell perturbations, and activation of PI3K pathway, measured by means of phosphorylation levels of S6, are detectable in DADA2 patients without T-LGL leukemia.
