Abstract
Purpose: Newborn screening using dried blood spot (DBS) samples for the targeted measurement of metabolites and nucleic acids has made a substantial contribution to public healthcare by facilitating the detection of neonates with genetic disorders. Here, we investigated the applicability of non-targeted quantitative proteomics analysis to newborn screening for inborn errors of immunity (IEIs).
Methods: DBS samples from 40 healthy newborns and eight healthy adults were subjected to non-targeted proteomics analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry after removal of the hydrophilic fraction. Subsequently, DBS samples from 43 IEI patients were analyzed to determine whether patients can be identified by reduced expression of disease-associated proteins.
Results: DBS protein profiling allowed monitoring of levels of proteins encoded by 2912 genes, including 1110 listed in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database, in healthy newborn samples, and was useful in identifying patients with IEIs by detecting reduced levels of disease causative proteins and their interacting proteins, as well as cell-phenotypical alterations.
Conclusion: Our results indicate that non-targeted quantitative protein profiling of DBS samples can be used to identify patients with IEIs and develop a novel newborn screening platform for genetic disorders.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Immunology publishes impactful papers in the realm of human immunology, delving into the diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis, or treatment of human diseases. The journal places particular emphasis on primary immunodeficiencies and related diseases, encompassing inborn errors of immunity in a broad sense, their underlying genotypes, and diverse phenotypes. These phenotypes include infection, malignancy, allergy, auto-inflammation, and autoimmunity. We welcome a broad spectrum of studies in this domain, spanning genetic discovery, clinical description, immunologic assessment, diagnostic approaches, prognosis evaluation, and treatment interventions. Case reports are considered if they are genuinely original and accompanied by a concise review of the relevant medical literature, illustrating how the novel case study advances the field. The instructions to authors provide detailed guidance on the four categories of papers accepted by the journal.
