Pathogenic variants in LRBA, encoding the LPS Responsive Beige-Like Anchor (LRBA) protein, are responsible for recessive, early-onset hypogammaglobulinemia, severe multi-organ autoimmunity, and lymphoproliferation, with increased risk for malignancy. LRBA deficiency has a wide clinical spectrum with variable age of onset and disease severity. Three apparently unrelated patients with LRBA deficiency, of Georgian Jewish descent, were homozygous for LRBA c.6640C > T, p.R2214*, leading to a stop upstream of the LRBA BEACH domain. Despite carrying the same LRBA genotype, the three patients differed in clinical course: the first patient was asymptomatic until age 25 years; the second presented with failure to thrive at age 3 months; and the third presented at age 7 years with immune cytopenias and severe infections. Two of the patients developed malignancies: the first patient was diagnosed with recurrent Hodgkin\'s disease at age 36 years, and the second patient developed aggressive gastric cancer at age 15 years. Among Georgian Jews, the carrier frequency of the LRBA p.R2214* allele was 1.6% (4 of 236 Georgian Jewish controls). The allele was absent from other populations. Haplotype analysis showed a shared origin of the mutation. These three patients revealed a pathogenic LRBA founder allele in the Georgian Jewish population, support the diverse and complex clinical spectrum of LRBA deficiency, and support the possibility that LRBA deficiency predisposes to malignancy.

Inborn errors of immunity are genetic disorders with broad clinical manifestations, ranging from increased susceptibility to infections to significant immune dysregulation, often leading to multiple autoimmune phenomena, lymphoproliferation, and malignancy. The treatment is challenging as it requires careful balancing of immunosuppression in subjects at increased risk of infections. Recently, the improved ability to define inborn errors of immunity pathophysiology at the molecular level has set the basis for the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Such a \"precision medicine\" approach is mainly bases on the use of available small molecules and biologics to target a specific cell function. In this article, we summarize the clinical and laboratory features of various recently described inborn errors of immunity associated with immune dysregulation and hyperinflammation in which mechanism-based therapeutic approaches have been implemented.
