The child had transient urticaria appearing on her face for 5\u00a0days. The inflammatory biomarkers were significantly increased. Brain MRI showed multiple ischemic lesions in the brain\u2019s small vessels. The patient exhibited significant systemic inflammation and multiple vasculitis. Whole-exome sequencing showed c.1358A&amp;gt;G p. (Tyr453Cys) and c.1082-7T&amp;gt;A compound heterozygous variants in the adenosine deaminase 2 (<jats:italic>ADA2<\/jats:italic>) gene, of which the c.1082-7T&amp;gt;A variant has not been reported yet in previous literature. Peripheral blood mRNA reverse transcription-Sanger sequencing confirmed that this variant affected mRNA splicing, resulting in a frameshift with premature stop codon c.1083_1103del p. (Leu362Glnfs*45). Peripheral blood test suggested a significant decrease in ADA2 activity. Eventually, the patient was diagnosed with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2). Her condition improved after treatment with etanercept. She had no more fevers, and no hemiplegia attacks were observed during the 3\u00a0years of follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fever and hemiplegia were the main manifestations in this patient, without typical rashes. DADA2 was finally confirmed by enzymology and genetic testing, and we believe this is the first reported case of the c.1082-7T&amp;gt;A intronic variant in DADA2, and the RNA studies conducted in this case have been pivotal in assessing its pathogenicity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2024.1478581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,15]],"date-time":"2025-01-15T06:11:11Z","timestamp":1736921471000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Novel ADA2 variants cause atypical adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Haishao","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuangzhu","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiayi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiandui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yangfan","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wanqi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xingzhi","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1532","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.150024","article-title":"A case series of adenosine deaminase 2-deficient patients emphasizing treatment and genotype-phenotype correlations","volume":"42","author":"Batu","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
