We report a novel case of SMARCD2 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily D, member 2) mutation successfully treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The female patient presented delayed cord separation, chronic diarrhea, skin abscesses, skeletal dysmorphisms, and neutropenia with specific granule deficiency. Analysis of the transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood sorted mature and immature SMARCD2 neutrophils showed defective maturation process that associated with altered expression of genes related to specific, azurophilic, and gelatinase granules, such as LTF, CRISP3, PTX3, and CHI3L1. These abnormalities account for the prevalence of immature neutrophils in the peripheral blood, impaired function, and deregulated inflammatory responses.

Abstract

We report a novel case of SMARCD2 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily D, member 2) mutation successfully treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The female patient presented delayed cord separation, chronic diarrhea, skin abscesses, skeletal dysmorphisms, and neutropenia with specific granule deficiency. Analysis of the transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood sorted mature and immature SMARCD2 neutrophils showed defective maturation process that associated with altered expression of genes related to specific, azurophilic, and gelatinase granules, such as LTF, CRISP3, PTX3, and CHI3L1. These abnormalities account for the prevalence of immature neutrophils in the peripheral blood, impaired function, and deregulated inflammatory responses.
