Clinical Information
Lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency disease (also known as inborn errors of immunity) caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the LRBA gene. It has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including immune dysregulation and autoimmunity, inflammatory bowel disease, early-onset hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent infections and organomegaly.
