Gene: STAT5B

Green List (high evidence)

IUIS: Inheritance - AR (causes STAT5b deficiency. T cells: Modestly decreased, reduced Treg number and function. B cells: Normal. Ig: hypergammaglobulinemia, increased IgE. Associated with growth-hormone insensitive dwarfism; dysmorphic features; eczema; lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis; prominent autoimmunity), AD dominant-negative (causes STAT5b deficiency. T cells and B cells are normal. Increased IgE. Associated with Growth-failure; eczema (no immune defects compared to AR STAT5 deficiency)).

In OMIM this gene is associated with Growth hormone insensitivity with immunodeficiency 245590. They report that in Kofoed et al. (2003) (PMID: 13679528) a patient is described with a homozygous ala630-to-pro mutation (A630P) in the STATB gene and a combined phenotype of GH insensitivity and immunodeficiency consistent with the presence of a defect in the JAK/STAT system. Cohen et al. (2006) (PMID: 16920911) further investigated this patient and observed immune dysregulation with decreased numbers of regulatory CD4+/CD25-high T cells (Tregs). Hwa et al. (2005) (PMID: 15827093) report a 16.4-year-old Turkish girl with postnatal growth retardation and insensitivity to growth hormone, who also had recurrent pulmonary infections and a bleeding diathesis due to defective thrombocyte aggregation, and a homozygous 1-bp insertion in the STAT5B gene. The insertion resulted in a frame shift, leading to early protein termination and consequent lack of immunodetectable STAT5b protein. Vidarsdottir et al. (2006) (PMID: 16787985) report a 30-year-old man born in the Dutch Antilles who had short stature and delayed puberty with normal GH and GHBP levels, an elevated plasma prolactin level, and extremely low levels of IGF1, IGFBP3, and acid-labile subunit identified homozygosity for a 1-bp insertion in the STAT5B gene . The authors stated that the patient was diagnosed with congenital ichthyosis at birth and had hemorrhagic varicella at 16 years of age, but had NO history of pulmonary or immunologic problems. Bernasconi et al. (2006) (PMID:17030597) report a 16-year-old girl with severe postnatal growth failure, GH insensitivity, and immunodeficiency and homozygosity for a nonsense mutation in the STAT5B gene. Hwa et al. (2007) (PMID: 17389811) report 2 Kuwaiti sisters from a consanguineous family with severe postnatal growth retardation, normal GH and GHBP levels, and no mutation in the GH receptor gene, Hwa et al. (2007) (PMID: 17389811) identified homozygosity for a 1-bp deletion in the STAT5B gene (604260.0005). In addition to GHI, siblings 2 and 1 presented with, respectively, a diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis and recurrent pulmonary infections. A PubMed search also finds Pugliese-Pires et al (2010) (PMID: 20538865) who report 2 male siblings with GH insensitivity syndrome associated with hyperprolactinemia and immune dysfunction with a novel STAT5B mutation. Both siblings were homozygous for a 4 bp deletion in STAT5B. One sibling also had a heterozygous missense mutation in the GHR gene. Rating this gene green because there are >3 cases of plausable disease causing mutations in the STAT5B gene.

Reviewed gene as Green. Red ratings highly likely to be historical ratings made in view of the panel (SCID). This panel will be retired when this PID panel is V. In view of poor growth, recurrent infections and T-cell abnormalities associated to STAT5B variants, these are appropriate phenotypes for the PID panel so gene should be Green

This gene was present in the original PanelApp PID panel dataset (review in April 2018) rated as Red. The gene is present in the external expert immunodeficiency diagnostic gene list(s) GOSH or GRID. In this combined PID panel, this gene has been rated as AMBER and needs further curational review to assess pertinence prior to v1.
