Background The β 2 common integrin subunit CD18 is essential for leukocyte–endothelial adhesion and extravasation to inflamed or infected tissue. Damaging variants in ITGB2 , which encodes CD18, cause leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD-I), an inborn error of immunity that leads to frequent life-threatening infections and a high risk of death among affected children.
