Resumen

Activated PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS) Type I results from gain-of-function mutations in PIK3CD, which encodes the p110δ subunit of PI3Kδ. Abnormal actin dynamics have been hypothesized to contribute to the lymphopenia associated with this disease but have not been studied in patients with APDS. We report a patient with APDS who had widespread necrotic skin lesions that were responsive specifically to immunosuppressive therapy. EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells (EBV-LCLs) from patients with APDS exhibit increased polymerized actin and increased apoptosis, suggesting a contribution of impaired actin dynamics to this disease.
