ABSTRACT: Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is mainly caused by biallelic variants in genes disrupting cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cell and T-cell function (PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, RAB27A, and LYST). A "pathway defect accumulation" model proposes that heterozygous variants in multiple familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) genes (digenic or multigenic inheritance) may increase...
