Adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (DADA2) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by inflammatory vasculopathy, early strokes associated often with hypogammaglobulinemia. Pure red cell aplasia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia have been reported. The defect is due to biallelic loss of function of ADA2 gene, coding for a protein known to regulate the catabolism of extracellular adenosine. We therefore investigated immune phenotype and B‐ and T‐cell responses in 14 DADA2 patients to address if ADA2 mutation affects B‐ and T‐cell function.
