LAD Cases

LAD Cases

Leucocyte adhesion deficiency disease is a type of immunodeficiency resulted as loss of function to reaction to infectious disease, pus formation, disrupted wound healing. Here we report two LAD1 and two LAD3 with their clinical and functional analysis. 3 of 4 patients are Syrian origin and born into consanguineous families. Their diagnosis are made by flow cytometry and due to high leucocyte count. LAD3 patients have normal CD11abc CD18 levels so they’re diagnosed by adhesion assay.Both confirmed with genetical mutations on ITGB2 and FERMT3. 3 of 4 underwent successful HSCT but one is unfortunately passed away.
