Fig 1 MYD88 deficiency impairs TLR and IL-1R responses of PBMCs. A, Family pedigree. The proband is indicated with an arrow. Healthy persons are shown in white; deceased siblings are indicated by line crossing. B, Genomic sequence analysis of MYD88 gene showing a homozygous in-frame deletion, c.196_198del GGA (p.Glu66del). Both parents are heterozygous for the same mutation. C-F, Real-time PCR analysis of the mRNA extracted from the patient's PBMCs stimulated with LPS, IL-1, TNF-α, and poly (I:C) (TLR3 ligand) revealed reduced levels of IL-6, IL-1, CCL2, and CCL3, as compared with the healthy control, in response to LPS and IL-1 stimulation, while they were normally induced after TNF-α and TLR3 stimulation. G and H, Fibroblasts from a healthy control and from the MYD88-deficient child, transiently transfected with an expression vector encoding wild-type (WT) MYD88. Cells from MyD88-deficient patient regained IL-1β and LPS responsiveness after transfection with the WT MYD88 gene, as shown by the levels of IL-1 and IL6. Y-axis values, on the right side, are referred to LPS stimulation. I, Western blotting using anti–FLAG-specific antibody to verify the transfection of patients' fibroblasts with plasmids carrying WT MYD88.

Fig 2 Clinical features. A and B, Axillary suppurative lymphadenitis of the left arm. C and D, Grocott stain revealed conspicuous infiltration of bacilli in the intestinal wall. E and F, Intestinal wall histology revealed vast areas of marginal necrosis, full-thickness massive edema, and inflammatory infiltrates.
