Abstract

We present here a novel case of an atypical Omenn syndrome (OS) phenotype due to mutations in the ADA gene encoding adenosine deaminase. This case is noteworthy for a significant increase in circulating CD56(bright)CD16- cytokine-producing NK cells after treatment with steroids for skin rash.
