Impact of newborn screening for SCID on the management of congenital athymia
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BackgroundNewborn screening (NBS) programs for severe combined immunodeficiency facilitate early diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency and promote early treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, resulting in improved clinical outcomes. Infants with congenital athymia are also identified through NBS because of severe T-cell lymphopenia. With the expanding introduction of NBS programs, referrals of athymic patients for treatment with thymus transplantation have recently increased at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) (London, United Kingdom).ObjectiveWe studied the impact of NBS on timely diagnosis and treatment of athymic infants with thymus transplantation at GOSH.MethodsWe compared age at referral and complications between athymic infants diagnosed after clinical presentation (n = 25) and infants identified through NBS (n = 19) who were referred for thymus transplantation at GOSH between October 2019 and February 2023. We assessed whether age at time of treatment influences thymic output at 6 and 12 months after transplantation.ResultsThe infants referred after identification through NBS were significantly younger and had fewer complications, in particular fewer infections. All deaths occurred in the group of those who did not undergo NBS, including 6 patients before and 2 after thymus transplantation because of preexisting infections. In the absence of significant comorbidities or diagnostic uncertainties, timely treatment was achieved more frequently after NBS. Treatment when younger than age 4 months was associated with higher thymic output at 6 and 12 months after transplantation.ConclusionNBS contributes to earlier recognition of congenital athymia, promoting referral of athymic patients for thymus transplantation before they acquire infections or other complications and facilitating treatment at a younger age, thus playing an important role in improving their outcomes.
