Paradoxical dominant negative activity of an immunodeficiency-associated activating PIK3R1 variant by Patsy R Tomlinson, Rachel G Knox, Olga Perisic, Helen Su, Gemma V Brierley, Roger L Williams, Robert K Semple

“…PIK3R1 encodes three regulatory subunits of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), each associating with any of three catalytic subunits, namely p110α, p110β, or p110δ. Constitutional PIK3R1 mutations cause diseases with a genotype-phenotype relationship not yet fully explained: heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause SHORT syndrome, featuring insulin resistance and short stature attributed to reduced p110α function, while heterozygous activating mutations cause immunodeficiency, attributed to p110δ activation and known as APDS2. …”
