Recessive Loss of DIAPH1 Function Causes a Progressive Neurodevelopmental Syndrome with Variable Immunological Involvement

2026Open accessSohag University

Abstract

DIAPH1 is critical for neurodevelopment, immune regulation, and DNA repair. The DNA repair defect may influence susceptibility to infection, lymphoma, or treatment-related toxicity. Although absolute T-cell numbers are not consistent with SCID, impaired T-cell maturation suggests these patients could be identified by TREC newborn screening before neurological symptoms develop.
