Novel Adenosine Deaminase 2 (ADA2) Mutations Associated With Hematological Manifestations

Recent progress in laboratory techniques, particularly, identification of novel disease-causing genes, has led to the detection of different gene mutations that might be implicated in the pathogenesis of different hematological disorders like pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and neutropenia. An autoinfl...

The second case is a 10-year-old boy, known to have Hodgkin lymphoma and was under follow-up for 6 years; he presented with persistent neutropenia and was discovered to be homozygous for ADA2 c.1447_1451del, p. (Ser483Profs*5). In conclusion, we report two different novels ADA2 variants in two children; the first presented with PRCA and the second presented with persistent neutropenia.
