Evolving spectrum of LRBA deficiency-associated chronic arthritis: is there a causative role in juvenile idiopathic arthritis?

Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2017 Mar-Apr;35(2):327-329. Epub 2017 Jan 27.

Abstract

Lipopolysaccharide-responsive, beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency causes common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) disorders and autoimmunity. LRBA deficiency has become a clinically variable syndrome with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. We report a patient with LRBA deficiency associated chronic non-erosive arthritis. This report highlights the spectrum of arthritis in such patients and the potential causative role of LRBA gene in juvenile arthritis.
