2q33 Deletions Underlying Syndromic and Non-syndromic CTLA4 Deficiency.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeCTLA4 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) due to heterozygosity for germline loss-of-function variants of the CTLA4 gene located on chromosome 2q33.2. CTLA4 deficiency underlies pleiotropic immune and lymphoproliferation-mediated features with incomplete penetrance. It has been identified in hundreds of patients but copy number variants (CNVs) have been reported in only 12 kindreds, including nine which displayed large 2q33.1-2q33.2 deletions encompassing CTLA4.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide study in France to identify patients with 2q33 deletions encompassing CTLA4. We investigated the clinical and immunological phenotypes and genotypes of these patients.
resultsWe identified 12 patients across six unrelated kindreds with clinical immunodeficiency. Neurological features were recorded in three patients, including one with syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) array analysis, and targeted high-throughput sequencing revealed five different heterozygous 2q33 deletions of 26 kilobases to 7.12 megabases in size and encompassing one to 41 genes. We identified a contiguous gene syndrome (CGS) due to associated KLF7 deficiency in a kindred with a neurodevelopmental phenotype.
conclusionDeletions within the 2q33 region encompassing CTLA4 are rare and not extensively explored, and are probably underdiagnosed in cytogenetic practice. A literature review identified 14 different CGS loci including at least one gene responsible for an IEI. The deletions involved in IEIs should be systematically delimited, to facilitate screening for CGS.
