LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein deficiency
	This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein deficiency is a rare genetic condition caused by the absence of LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA).

Signs and symptoms[edit]

The presentation of this condition is variable making the diagnosis difficult. The most common features include^[1]

Immune dysregulation (95%)
Organomegaly (86%)
Recurrent infections (71%)
Hypogammaglobulinemia (57%)
Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (38%)

There is also a tendency to develop inflammatory bowel disease.

Genetics[edit]

The LBRA gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 4 (4q31.3).^{[citation needed]}

Pathogenesis[edit]

LBRA protein interacts with the protein CTLA4. The absence of LBRA increases the turnover of CTLA4 and interferes with vesicle trafficking.^{[citation needed]}

Diagnosis[edit]

Differential diagnosis[edit]

Management[edit]

Along with treatment for infections and other complications several additional treatments have been tried. These include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immunoglobulin replacement and immunosuppressive treatment.^[1]

History[edit]

This condition was first described in 2012.^[2]
