Abstract

Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) constitutes a pivotal DNA repair mechanism indispensable for V(D)J recombination in T and B lymphocyte antigen receptors. Although pathogenic mutations in the DNA repair factor Cernunnos have been sporadically documented, clinical and immunological phenotypes associated with NHEJ defects remain incompletely characterized. This retrospective study endeavors to comprehensively delineate the clinical, immunological, and genetic spectrum of Cernunnos deficiency by analyzing genetically confirmed cases registered in our national cohort of primary immunodeficiencies.
