A Novel Homozygous Germline Mutation in Transferrin Receptor 1 (TfR1) Leads to Combined Immunodeficiency and Provides New Insights into Iron-Immunity Axis
25 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract A homozygous missense mutation in the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), also known as CD71, leads to a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) characterized by the impaired lymphocyte activation and proliferation due to defective iron uptake of cells. However, only one causative mutation (c.58T > C, p.Y20H) in the TFRC gene coding for TfR1 has been reported so far. We herein identified a new disease-causing...
