Susceptibility to Viral Infections v0.129 TNFSF9 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Fournier et al. described one patient with DiGeorge syndrome with a unique susceptibility to EBV with broad EBV infection and smooth muscle tumors. He was found to have a homozygous missense mutation (p.V140G) in TNFSF9 coding for CD137L/4-1BBL, the ligand of the T cell co-stimulatory molecule CD137/4-1BB, whose deficiency predisposes to EBV infection.

They show that CD137LV140G mutant was weakly expressed on patient cells or when ectopically expressed in HEK and P815 cells. Importantly, patient EBV-infected B cells failed to trigger the expansion of EBV-specific T cells, resulting in decreased T cell effector responses. T cell expansion was recovered when CD137L expression was restored on B cells.
