The diagnostic yield of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in the diagnosis of monogenic inborn errors of immunity (IEI) remains limited, rarely exceeding 30%. Monoallelic pathogenic germline variants in cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) result in variable immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation. The genetic diagnosis of CTLA-4 insufficiency can affect follow-up procedures and may lead to consideration of treatment with CTLA-4-Ig.
