XMEN-associated Systemic EBV-positive T-cell Lymphoma of Childhood: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review.

X-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and neoplasia (XMEN) is an extremely rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) caused by X-linked recessive inheritance and loss-of-function mutations in the MAGT1 gene, resulting in magnesium ion channel defects. This article reports 2 cases of systemic EBV-positive T-cell Lymphoma of childhood (SETLC) associated with XMEN, which have not been reported before. Whole exome sequencing (WES) in their family revealed previously unreported MAGT1 gene mutations (c.77T>C, p.I26T; c.956-957del: p.Ser319Tyrfs) inherited from their mothers. These mutations expand the spectrum of gene mutations in XMEN disease. The importance of genetic testing for MAGT1 mutations in the initial diagnosis of SETLC was emphasized. We also review the literature on this uncommon IEI.
