Genetic dissection of the STAT3-HIES phenotypes based on inborn errors of the IL-6 family cytokine pathway

DeficiencyAR complete IL-6ST deficiencyAR partial IL-6ST deficiencyAD partial IL-6ST deficiencyAR IL-6Rα deficiencyAR IL-11Rα deficiencyAR LIFR deficiencyAR OSM deficiencyAR OSMRβ deficiencyOSMR missense heterozygous variants (FPLCA)IL31RA missense heterozygous variants (FPLCA)
Affected signaling axis Complete loss of multiple gp130-dependent cytokines Partial defect of multiple gp130-dependent cytokines Partial defect of multiple/specific gp130-dependent cytokines IL-6 signaling IL-11 signaling LIFR-dependent cytokine signaling OSM production/OSM signaling OSM signaling; IL-31 R signaling likely altered OSMR/IL-31 skin axis IL31RA/IL-31 skin axis 
Major clinical manifestations Severe/frequently lethal SWS-like syndrome, neonatal respiratory dysfunction, skeletal abnormalities HIES-like disease with recurrent infections, atopic dermatitis, hyper-IgE, eosinophilia, impaired acute-phase responses, craniosynostosis/developmental features HIES-like disease with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, severe pulmonary complications, hyper-IgE/eosinophilia, retained deciduous teeth, skeletal/connective tissue features Recurrent bacterial infections, defective acute inflammation, atopy, hyper-IgE, eosinophilia Craniosynostosis, delayed tooth eruption, dental abnormalities, skeletal/connective tissue features SWS, skeletal dysplasia, respiratory distress, dysautonomia, feeding difficulties, early death Severe bone marrow failure, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia Severe atopic dermatitis, hyper-IgE, eosinophilia, ± infections and HIES-like features Pruritus, primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, ± atopic dermatitis Pruritus, primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, ± atopic dermatitis 

AD, autosomal dominant; AR, autosomal recessive; FPLCA, familial primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis; SWS, Stüve–Wiedemann syndrome; HIES, hyper-IgE syndrome.
