The ADA deficiency phenotypic spectrum includes typical early-onset severe combined immunodeficiency (<i>ADA</i>-SCID), diagnosed in infancy (about 80% of individuals), and less severe "delayed" or "late-onset" combined immunodeficiency (<i>ADA</i>-CID), diagnosed in older children and adults (15%-20% of individuals). Some healthy individuals who are deficient in red blood cell ADA (termed "partial <i>ADA</i> deficiency") have been discovered by screening populations or relatives of individuals with <i>ADA</i>-SCID.</p><p>Newborn screening (NBS) for SCID uses extracts from Guthrie card dried blood spots to measure T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) DNA by <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/polymerase-chain-reaction/">polymerase chain reaction</a> (<a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/pcr/">PCR</a>). Screening specific for ADA deficiency can also be performed by detection of elevated levels of adenosine (Ado) and deoxyadenosine (dAdo) by tandem mass spectrometry (TMS). Both techniques can identify <i>ADA</i>-SCID before affected infants become symptomatic.</p><p>Untreated <i>ADA</i>-SCID presents as life-threatening opportunistic illnesses in the first weeks to months of life with poor linear growth and weight gain secondary to persistent diarrhea, extensive dermatitis, and recurrent pneumonia. Skeletal abnormalities affecting ribs and vertebra, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, hemolytic anemia, neurologic abnormalities, and transaminitis may also suggest untreated <i>ADA</i>-SCID. Characteristic immune abnormalities are lymphocytopenia (low numbers of T, B, and NK cells) combined with the absence of both humoral and cellular immune function. If immune function is not restored with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/gene-therapy/">gene therapy</a>, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), children with <i>ADA</i>-SCID rarely survive beyond age one to two years.</p><p>NBS for SCID does not identify individuals with the <i>ADA</i>-CID <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/phenotype/">phenotype</a> whose TREC numbers are above the threshold values of most screening laboratories. However, <i>ADA</i>-CID is identified by TMS NBS since the ADA substrates Ado and dAdo are increased. As TMS NBS for Ado/dAdo is not yet widely performed, individuals with <i>ADA</i>-CID are more often clinically diagnosed between ages one and ten years ("delayed" onset), or less often in the second to fourth decades ("late"/"adult" onset). Because the immunologic abnormalities are less pronounced than those of <i>ADA</i>-SCID, infections in <i>ADA</i>-CID may not be life-threatening and include recurrent otitis media, sinusitis, upper respiratory infections, and human papilloma viral infections.

Symptomatic treatment involves treatment of infections and use of immunoglobulin infusions and antibiotics, particularly prophylaxis against <i>Pneumocystis jirovecii</i> pneumonia (formerly <i>Pneumocystis carinii</i>) and fungal infections.

<b>Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) with PEGylated ADA</b>
</h5><p>Between 1990 and 2019, ERT for <i>ADA</i>-SCID was performed with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> (pegademase bovine), consisting of bovine ADA isolated from cow intestine and modified ("PEGylated") by attachment of multiple strands of 5 kDa monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG). In January 2019, Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> was replaced by Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> (elapegademase-lvlr), which is similar but prepared with recombinant bovine ADA.</p><p>The US clinical trial that supported FDA approval of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> showed that it was safe and maintained biochemical detoxification and lymphocyte counts in six adults who had previously been treated for an average of 20 years with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.dorsey.2023.951">Dorsey et al 2023</a>]. To date, there is little published information about the use of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> as initial therapy in newly diagnosed individuals with <i>ADA</i>-SCID. However, when used according to the package insert, Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> was reported to be well tolerated and effective in the management of six infants, five of whom had been identified by newborn screening [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.murguiafavela.2023.1725">Murguia-Favela et al 2023</a>]. The general recommendations of <a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.kohn.2019.852">Kohn et al [2019]</a> regarding ERT appear to apply to Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> when used according to the Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> package insert.</p><p>Prior to initiation of ERT, baseline levels of ADA (i.e., ADA1) catalytic activity and total deoxyadenosine nucleotides (dAXP) in red blood cells should be determined. (Note: Prior to replacement therapy with PEGylated ADA, ADA catalytic activity in plasma is negligible in individuals with <i>ADA</i>-SCID as well as in controls).</p><p>The starting dose of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> recommended in the package insert is 0.4 mg/kg (based on ideal body weight) divided into two intramuscular injections of 0.2 mg/kg per week. Following an intramuscular injection, Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> is absorbed and circulates in plasma but does not enter cells. At the recommended dose of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup>, ADA catalytic activity in plasma increases approximately 100-fold, a level at which all the deoxyadenosine (dAdo) produced daily from DNA breakdown is deaminated. As a result, dAdo does not enter the cells of the ADA-deficient individual and, thus, does not undergo phosphorylation to dAXP, which prevents expansion of the intracellular pool of dAXP, the major metabolic cause of the profound lymphopenia present in neonates with <i>ADA</i>-SCID.</p><p>Biochemical monitoring of ERT, beginning about two weeks after the first dose of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup>, involves measuring (1) trough (i.e., pre-injection) level of ADA catalytic activity in plasma, which is due entirely to Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup>, and (2) dAXP levels in red blood cells. These measurements should be repeated at two- to four-week intervals. While the dAXP levels in red blood cells will begin to decline with the initiation of ERT, it usually requires six to eight weeks for dAXP to fully disappear. Thereafter, sustained normalization of dAXP levels in red blood cells is a useful marker of metabolic correction, and frequency of monitoring can be reduced at the provider's discretion.</p><p>It is recommended that ERT be continued for a minimum of 12 to 24 weeks until immune reconstitution is achieved. If lymphocyte counts and in vitro function are satisfactory and clinical status is stable, the dose of Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> may then be consolidated and given once weekly in order to maintain (1) trough (pre-injection) ADA catalytic activity in plasma above 30 mmol/hr/L, and (2) dAXP level in packed red blood cells below 0.02 mmol/L. Although maintaining these two conditions is necessary, in some individuals it may not be sufficient to sustain protective immune function.</p><p>In addition to permitting immune reconstitution, ERT has been associated with resolution of hepatocellular abnormalities, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and skeletal dysplasia; however, to date this has not been studied systematically. Additionally, in some individuals the neurologic/behavioral abnormalities associated with ADA deficiency have improved; however, it is uncertain if ERT can reverse or prevent these complications.</p><p>ERT should be provided continuously until an affected individual is able to undergo definitive therapy with HSCT or HSC-GT, ideally within two years of diagnosis. Of note, the optimal time to discontinue ERT before HSCT or HSC-GT has not been systematically studied; however, in recent years, ERT has been discontinued at the time of HSCT or up to a month after HSCT or HSC-GT.</p><p>Between 1990 and 2019, when Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> (PEGylated recombinant bovine ADA) became available, ERT for ADA deficiency was performed with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> (PEGylated purified bovine ADA). Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> was used as a long-term therapy in individuals who lacked a suitable HSC donor or were not considered to be candidates for HSCT, or when HSC-GT was unavailable. Some individuals received ERT with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> and did well clinically for up to three decades. However, a gradual decline in lymphocyte counts and immune function occurred in a number of individuals treated with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> for more than five to eight years, resulting in increased frequency of infection and risk of malignancy (lymphoma, hepatic) [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.kohn.2019.852">Kohn et al 2019</a>]. Because of this experience with Adagen<sup>&#x000ae;</sup>, long-term maintenance therapy with Revcovi<sup>&#x000ae;</sup> is not recommended.</p></div><div id="ada.Allogeneic_Hematopoietic_Stem_Cell_T"><h5>

Although a few <i>ADA</i> pathogenic <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/missense/">missense</a> variants found in individuals with <i>ADA</i>-related severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) directly alter substrate or zinc cofactor binding, most are distant from the active site and result in very unstable proteins.</p><p><b>Mechanism of disease causation.</b> Loss of <i>ADA</i> function (See <a href="#ada.GenotypePhenotype_Correlations">Genotype-Phenotype Correlations</a>.)</p><p>

Levels of red blood cell dAXP correlate with <i>ADA</i> pathogenic variants associated with <i>ADA</i>-SCID and <i>ADA</i>-related combined immunodeficiency (CID) (see <a href="#ada.GenotypePhenotype_Correlations">Genotype-Phenotype Correlations</a>) and will decrease after initiation of ERT. In some circumstances, this pretreatment biochemical testing can be performed on dried blood spots (DBS, or Guthrie cards) prepared with EDTA anticoagulated blood. Note that measurement of dAXP is performed in the authors' CLIA-certified laboratory, but at present is not otherwise widely available (see <a href="#ada.Chapter_Notes">Chapter Notes</a>).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>When sending samples for testing of red blood cell ADA catalytic activity and dAXP, it is important to specify whether or not the individual being tested has received a blood transfusion, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/gene-therapy/">gene therapy</a>, since this will confound the interpretation of the test result.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Novel <i>ADA</i> variants of <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/uncertain-significance/">uncertain significance</a> (VUS) predicted to cause single amino acid substitutions or <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/in-frame/">in-frame</a> deletions may be further investigated by functional testing to determine their effect on ADA catalytic activity in a strain of <i>E coli</i> from which the bacterial <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/gene/">gene</a> <i>ada</i> has been deleted [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.arredondovega.1998.1049">Arredondo-Vega et al 1998</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#ada.REF.hershfield.2003.571">Hershfield 2003</a>].
