LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein deficiency
LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein deficiency
	This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein deficiency is a rare genetic condition caused by the absence of LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA).

Signs and symptoms edit

The presentation of this condition is variable making the diagnosis difficult. The most common features include^[1]

Immune dysregulation (95%)
Organomegaly (86%)
Recurrent infections (71%)
Hypogammaglobulinemia (57%)
Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (38%)

There is also a tendency to develop inflammatory bowel disease.

Genetics edit

The LBRA gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 4 (4q31.3).^{[citation needed]}

Pathogenesis edit

LBRA protein interacts with the protein CTLA4. The absence of LBRA increases the turnover of CTLA4 and interferes with vesicle trafficking.^{[citation needed]}

Diagnosis edit

Differential diagnosis edit

Management edit

Along with treatment for infections and other complications several additional treatments have been tried. These include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immunoglobulin replacement and immunosuppressive treatment.^[1]

History edit

This condition was first described in 2012.^[2]
