The second case of interest that we report here is that of a 13-year-old female who presented in 2002 with recurrent diarrhea, fever, and bloody diarrhea.
Case#: Female, age of onset: 13, age at testing: 32, age of last documented clinical stability: 34
DiseaseAssertion: suspected hypoactivation of the PI3K pathway
FamilyInfo: maternal grandmother with rheumatoid arthritis, eldest sister died at 4 months due to septic shock after enteritiis

A mutation in PIK3CD gene causing pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus
PMID: 31045771
Gene: PIK3CD
HGNC: 8977
15-year-old Chinese boy
Case#: 15-year-old Chinese boy
DiseaseAssertion: Patient was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at a young age and was recently found to carry heterozygous mutations in PIK3CD. Diagnoses: Activated PI3Kδ syndrome
FamilyInfo: Family history revealed that his mother died of gastric cancer. Whole exome sequencing was performed in patient and in his father, when he was at the age of 15 and the PIK3CD gene was found to exhibit good coverage.

CaseHPOFreeText: Serum level of complements was low, such as C3, C4, and CH50. Serum level of IgM and IgE was elevated, but IgG and IgA was normal. Lung CT scan showed partial consolidation of left upper lung with bronchiectasis and left upper bronchial stenosis. Renal biopsy was also done because of persistent hematuria and proteinuria, and it displayed moderately increased mesangial matrix and mesangial hypercellularity under the light microscope; subepithelial deposits was noted, and some mesangial changes may be present as seen in electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence was positive for C1q, C3, IgG, IgM, and Fb (Fig. 2). The patient was given oral prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine combined with mycophenolate mofetil. Six months later, the level of complement was restored to normal, hematuria and proteinuria disappeared, and liver function returned to normal. He was currently receiving intravenous immunoglobulin in association with hydroxychloroquine, low-dose prednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil, with a good efficacy.
