Lysinuric protein intolerance: Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for an inborn error of metabolism and immunity.

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is not only an inborn metabolic disease with gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal and lung involvement but also an inborn error of immunity potentially leading to life-threatening autoimmune disorders (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), hemophagocytic lymphohistiocystosis (HLH)). Recently, one case of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) reversing SLE and HLH in a LPI patient was reported. We present 21 years of follow-up in a second LPI patient having undergone allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) for HLH.
