Autoinflammatory disorders
Gene: PRF1Comment on list classification: New gene added to this panel by Lauma Freimane (Children's Clinical University Hospital). Biallelic variants are associated with
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with multiple unrelated cases reported. This is a hyperinflammatory disorder which leads to to impaired function of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, consistent with a defect in cellular cytotoxicity. Acquired HLH can be caused by autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases; however, familial HLH caused by biallelic variants in this gene do not necessarily cause autoinflammation.
For this reason, rating this gene:disease association as amber on this panel. Cases should be picked up via the 'R15 Primary immunodeficiency or monogenic inflammatory bowel disease' panel, where it is already green.Created: 6 Nov 2023, 4:33 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Nov 2023, 4:33 p.m.
