Abstract

Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) is rare before 5 years of age. Monogenic causes are suspected in cases of very early onset jSLE particularly in the context of a family history and/or consanguinity. We performed whole-exome sequencing and homozygosity mapping in the siblings presented with early-onset jSLE. A novel homozygous missense mutation in protein kinase C delta (c.1294G>T; p.Gly432Trp) was identified in both patients. One patient showed a marked clinical response and resolution inflammation with rituximab therapy. This report demonstrates the clinical importance of identifying monogenic causes of rare disease to provide a definitive diagnosis, help rationalize treatment, and facilitate genetic counseling.
