Rationale:
Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder marked by partial oculocutaneous albinism, immunodeficiency, and neurological issues. It has 3 types based on genetic mutations. This report focuses on a patient with GS type 2, characterized by immune abnormalities and neurological symptoms, with only 160 cases documented globally.
Patient Concerns:
A 1-year-old boy presented with hyperthermia, diarrhea, and vomiting, revealing hypopigmented skin and silvery-gray hair. He exhibited tachycardia, abdominal distension, hepatosplenomegaly, and signs of immunocompromise. Neurologically, he showed developmental delays and hyperreflexia. Lab tests indicated anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated triglycerides.
Diagnoses:
Based on clinical history and laboratory tests diagnosed with GS type 2.
Interventions And Outcomes:
The patient received symptomatic treatment, antibiotics, and frequent transfusions, with strict infection prevention due to limited resources for stem cell transplantation.
Lessons:
GS, identified in 1978, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder marked by partial albinism and immunodeficiency, with around 160 cases primarily from the Mediterranean. It comprises 3 types: GS1, GS2, and GS3, each with unique genetic and clinical features. GS1 exhibits partial albinism and neurological issues without immune effects due to MYO5A mutations. GS2 presents severe immunodeficiency and risks such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis linked to RAB27A mutations. GS3, caused by melanophilin gene mutations, has a better prognosis. Diagnosis involves hair microscopy and genetic testing, and while supportive treatments exist, early diagnosis is vital for improved outcomes. GS is a rare genetic disorder with varied symptoms, categorized into 3 types, requiring genetic testing for diagnosis and treatment ranging from management to stem cell transplantation.

The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
